When I first saw Larry Smith’s TED talk, I knew he was passionate about helping people. Both his passion for life and his frustration with his students wasting their talents showed in his talk, and I couldn’t help but listen intently to what he had to say. In this conversation, I talk to Larry about passion, creativity, his new book, his TED talk, and much more. You can listen to our conversation below:

I was first introduced to Drew Dudley through his TED talk video, “Leading with Lollipops,” and instantly loved the way he viewed the world. His work is inspiring, generous, and full of life. I hope you take away as much as I did from our conversation. You can listen to our talk below:

I have previously talked about Maneesh Sethi on the blog after he hired a girl on Craigslist to slap him in the face every time he tried to get on Facebook. I heard his name come up again when he released his new product, Pavlok. And then recently, I saw him on Shark Tank. After hearing his name repeatedly, I knew I wanted to have him on the show to ask him about his journey. If you are an entrepreneur, you’ll definitely want to hear Maneesh share his insights. You can listen to our discussion below.

Sydney Finkelstein has published twenty books, is considered a thought leader by many, is the Steven Roth Professor of Management and Faculty Director at the Tuck School of Business and the Center for Leadership at Dartmouth College, and is a wealth of knowledge. So, of course, I wanted to have him on the show to hear his point of view. In this episode, I talk to Sydney about education, his journey to becoming an expert on business management, how he writes books, why patterns are so important, and taking responsibility. My hope is that after listening to our conversation below, you have some actionable items to apply in your own life.

I wanted to have Chris on the show because he has lived life to the full, and continues to do so. He has traveled to every country in the world, built a large blog community, created The World Domination Summit, and has written amazing books along the way. In other words, there isn’t much he hasn’t done, so he knows what he’s talking about. After you listen to our conversation below, my hope is that you take away many ideas to use in your own life.

Seth Godin has been one of the most influential voices in my life, through the books he has written, so I thought there was no better guest to have on the very first episode of my new show, Ideas. While I produce so much content every week where you only hear from me, I also want to encourage listening to others who offer value every single time they speak. And that’s exactly what my new show is all about.

In this episode, we talk about Seth’s successes, his fears, what makes him different, and much more. So please have a listen, take away some ideas, and go do something amazing. Enjoy!
