And you might be surprised to hear that it’s really the same thing when you get right down to it.And now that he has moved into a new chapter of his life, you’ll hear about the decision to step away from a role that was glorious and deeply fulfilling on many levels, and into another role that is dirty, exhausting, inglorious at times – and right where his soul has him to be at this moment.56 min

About The Easy School of Hard Knocks
From the publisher's feed
WHY ARE THE EASIEST THINGS IN LIFE SO DARN HARD TO DO?
I'm Headmaster James Newcomb, and welcome to the official podcast of The Easy School of Hard Knocks.
Doing the things you need to do to run a business, practicing your instrument, exercising first thing in the morning...isn't exactly rocket surgery.
What isn't so easy is just doing it, especially when we're the only ones watching -- or so we think.
We live in an era of instant gratification. Things that once took years to do - if they could be done at all - can now be done by clicking a few buttons. It's no wonder that so many people start a business, and then flame out when they're not a millionaire on Day 7!
'Cuz it's easy, but you definitely learn plenty of lessons at the School of Hard Knocks along the way.
So, what is the point of The Easy School of Hard Knocks? Well, believe it or not there are a few people who have managed to succeed at this thing called entrepreneurship, be it online or offline.
In most if not all of these cases, these folks have taken things that are easy to do (a podcast, a blog, an online learning platform, etc.) and have created a system that's EASY TO OPERATE ONCE IMPLEMENTED CORRECTLY.
The Easy School of Hard Knocks will teach you the nuts and bolts of succeeding as an entrepreneur.
And you'll hear practical advice - and more importantly from fellow travelers on the train - that will help you develop:
• A success-oriented mindset
• Healthy lifestyle habits
• Relationship building
And much, much more.
To sum up, you'll get the tools, the motivation, and the occasional tough love that it takes to be successful at whatever you choose to undertake.
Class is in session, kids. Are you ready to learn?
