We will be doing a segment that I call AMA, Ask Me Anything. AMAs is when I have the utmost pleasure to connect with a seasoned consultant and talk about their journey to greatness. We have Naresh Vissa. He’s a millennial consultant, CEO, and Founder of Krish Media and Marketing, as well as a best-selling author. He takes the road less traveled in consulting. He turned down an offer from a reputable Big Four firm, decided to venture into the world of startups, then created his own firm. He’s foraging into political consulting, which I found very intriguing. We have a conversation about some of the things that he’s seeing out in the entrepreneurial space. What’s cool is Naresh came on the show and he showed up with gifts. He gave us links to free audio books of his two best-selling books. He’s got two books. One is called Podcastnomics, The Book of Podcasting.The second book is Fifty Shades of Marketing. You’ll be able to download those immediately and start listening to them. Let me know what you think. Drop me a line, [email protected].

Stay tuned for episode 25 when I get a chance to connect with another seasoned consultant. We have a conversation about the psychology of decision making. If you’re like myself, you always want to try and make the best decision with the best information and data and circumstances that you have in front of you. What I like about my conversation with my guest is that she brings out a cool technique. She studied decisions analysis at Stanford and has some cool points of views that you can start to take and use in your personal and professional life.
