This episode came about after Loren met Chris at ProBlogger 2014, where Chris gave a fantastic keynote, along with an incredibly memorable presentation in conjunction with Pat Flynn on an introduction to podcasting for bloggers.
Loren went into that presentation saying over and over again in her head, “YOU ARE NOT GOING TO PRODUCE A PODCAST, YOU ARE NOT STARTING A PODCAST” and then left the room saying “I’M GOING TO STARTING A PODCAST!”
If it wasn’t for Chris’ presentation with Pat and the fact that Chris said yes to coming on the show, then this podcast probably never would’ve seen the light of day.
Chris also has one of the best stories in terms of being a business addict on the brink of destruction and totally transforming his life. So it is super fitting that Chris Ducker is our first guest on the My Business Addiction Podcast.
