Who:   George Ryan - Founder of Hatchwise

What We Talked About:  It’s Throwback Thursday!  Listen to this classic interview where I talked to George Ryan about his shift from being an employee at a lumber company to owning his own business.  He talks about how he launched Hatchwise and now has over 13,000 designers and writers available for projects.

Why I Like George:  He is a creator.  Even as a child he was writing books and designing.  He saw a hole in the market and was willing to step out and launch his idea.  He was willing to make mistakes and learn as he went and now he has an awesome business that serves hundreds of thousands of people.

Great Line:  I had to learn how to think like the owner and not the employee.

Who:  Dana Wilde - Author of Train Your Brain and Host of The Mind Aware Show

What This Show is About:  Dana airs LIVE in front of a dial-in audience. This week we have someone write in and say, “I over think things.  I think about them, but I don’t do anything.  I have so many things I want to do, but I get paralyzed.  Help!” Dana Wilde Rants! After so many requests for an “ask Dana” episode, we’ve decided to offer this as a regular feature. Dana takes questions from our audience members and answers those questions by helping the listener “tell a new story.” Each of us has a Reticular Activating System (RAS) in our brain that spends all day every day listening to what we’re thinking about and what we’re talking about. Next the RAS notices in the outside world the situations that match those thoughts and stories. This is why if you want to change your outside world, you have to start with the inside story.
