Buckle up for a virtual road trip with my special guest Todd Henry, an author, speaker, and consultant who specializes in helping people and teams be creative under pressure. We take a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about our first cars and unforgettable road trips, like Todd's family adventure in 1984 to Myrtle Beach in his Uncle's pickup with a camper top. And who could forget the hilarious tale of his sister's walk to school and the cassette tape incident?

Join us as we chat about Todd's journey from leading a small creative team to becoming a global consultant, discussing the strategies he used to keep his team engaged and producing great work. Todd also shares how podcasting became an invaluable medium to reach thousands of people with his insights and talks about his books, including his favorite one. 

As we explore Todd's favorite travel destinations and his dream road trip, we dive into Benjamin Franklin's life and vision, discussing why Todd would choose him as a travel companion. Todd leaves us with three pieces of advice for those feeling stuck and unfulfilled: identifying and challenging ghost rules, asking important questions, and filling the mind with valuable stimuli. Don't miss this episode loaded with engaging stories, valuable life lessons, and a unique perspective on road trips. Hop in and let's ride with Todd Henry!

I saw Enrique the first part of May during One Lap of America. This was his 14th One Lap. When you meet Enrique, you just feel better about life and yourself. He is a husband and father to 7 children. For the past 5 years he has battled cancer, but he remains positive in his battle. He was a technology guy early in his life, he later ran a restoration cleanup company with his wife and then landed a job at one of the country's premier racetracks, Road America. I hope you listen to the end as Enrique shares some thoughts on life and the important things.

I encourage you to donate to cancer research at https://runsignup.com/enrram1. 

If anyone can connect Enrique to Jay Leno, that is his bucket list item to check off.
