The Irreplaceable Man Podcast

We live in a world that teaches us to fall in line, to choose the safe, conservative route over being a disruptor. But playing it safe doesn’t facilitate global change. In fact, innovation comes from making trouble and seeing the possibilities in doing things a new way. How, then, do you develop the courage to break through barriers? To risk the isolation that comes with an intense commitment to transformation?

A true maverick, Dennis Langlais began his career as a professional BMX Freestyle rider, performing and competing at venues all over the world. He went on to create Perfection on Wheels, a BMX stunt team that did produced events in 10,000 locations worldwide. Dennis recently founded Codie Dog Interactive and the FIVE Minute Bark podcast with the intention of helping grassroots entrepreneurs increase their visibility and achieve next-level peak performance through the relentless pursuit of purpose.

Today Dennis joins Emerald to share his take on what a Man on Purpose looks like, discussing his approach to reinventing industries and the qualities necessary to facilitate global transformation. He offers insight around giving yourself permission to be a disruptor, attracting a loyal tribe, and choosing to break through barriers rather than fall in line. He explains how four-year-old Dennis was inspired by the Red Sox and how the relentless pursuit of his goals has driven him ever since. Listen and learn why it’s okay—necessary, even—to back off and go play a round of golf when you hit a wall.

‘I don’t know where I’m going, but I know I’m going to get there with enthusiasm!’

The path to success is almost never a straight line. In fact, Doug Sandler describes his route as a ‘jumbled mess.’ Doug enjoyed a 30-year career as a deejay, playing at 2500-plus functions. But when his financial planner advised that he be prepared for the next step, Doug realized that he needed a career reinvention. So at 47, he got himself a coach and shifted gears to pursue public speaking. From there, Doug took advantage of opportunities as they presented themselves: He wrote a book, Nice Guys Finish First, and created a podcast, The Nice Guys on Business.

The podcast took off when Doug and his co-host realized that their audience was asking questions about the podcasting process. They shifted their focus to provide the content their listeners craved, and their corollary business, Turnkey Podcast, was born. Turnkey helps podcasters in any stage of the process, with a special focus on how to monetize a show. Today Doug joins Emerald to share his definition of ‘finishing first.’ He explains the tenacity it took to start a new career and the organic way that his entrepreneurial venture took shape. Doug discusses the details of Turnkey Podcast, revealing the impetus behind the business as well as the products and services they provide. Listen in for Doug’s insight on staying humble as you celebrate success and learning to make a career out of being a nice guy!
