From Stuck To Successful

This is one of my favorite podcast interviews BECAUSE it's with my ADHD coach, Neil Swanson!

Neil is affectionately known as Dr. Neil at SGS because he's SO smart and wise. Neil has worked as a minister, a counselor, a construction contractor, and a building consultant. Neil grew up in Wisconsin, went to school in the Midwest and New York City, and eventually settled in the great state of Virginia where he now runs his practice. Along the way, he's volunteered and been a champion for many causes with the goal of making a positive difference in the world.

And NOW, Neil is the Founder and CEO of Free To Be Coaching, a coaching practice that focuses on radically reducing the impact of ADHD on your relationships, employment, and other areas of your life.

You will NOT want to miss this podcast with Neil because it's PURE GOLD if you're a business owner, leader, or someone who struggles with ADHD.

This is my FAVORITE podcast interview BECAUSE it's with my friend, Marcus Sheridan. Marcus Sheridan once grew a pool company, DURING AN ECONOMIC DOWNTURN, by simply answering questions online from his potential buyers. That's right – when 100% of discretionary spending on POOLS was gone, he blew up the pool company he was a partner at. And NOW, Marcus is a highly sought-after international keynote speaker who excites audiences with his simple, yet powerful transformational business approach. Marcus has been dubbed a "Web Marketing Guru" by the New York Times and in 2017 Forbes names Marcus one of 20 "Speakers You Don't Want to Miss." You will NOT want to miss this podcast with Marcus because it's PURE GOLD if you're in sales and marketing.
