Welcome to the School of Moxie Podcast, brought to you by Sensible Woo. This is the podcast where we break the mold around business podcast conversations. We make it FUN around here by using television, movies, and entertainment as the jumping off point for conversations about how we navigate the world as individuals. Â
I’ve always been inspired by my early career in the media world with big entertainment and media studios and if there’s one thing I’ve always carried with me since then, it’s that we connect as people, human-to-human, through water cooler chat. Our favorite shows not only help us connect with other people on a deeper level, but they also reflect back to us our biggest values and strengths.
Our first season of this podcast is centered on the first season of the HBO series The Last of Us, based on the video game of the same name. Consider this your official spoiler alert! On this podcast, my guests are going to jump right into the conversation and we are going to spill all the tea on the story and plot… so if you enjoy being surprised, I encourage you to watch the episode first before listening to our discussion.
What does a television show like The Last Of Us have anything to do with business, you ask? An awful lot! You are a multi-faceted individual with a lot of life experience and a story with a complex mix of characters like The Last of Us can help you identify traits that will help you become a better entrepreneur. Â
Trying something that might be outside your normal comfort zone of television programming (or any media consumption, for that matter) is a healthy thing… Especially when it’s guided with a group that’s doing the same activity. Whether or not you feel like you’ve been struggling to connect with other people, being connected to the zeitgeist in some way is a critical component to feeling like you belong in this world. And you do.
You will never hear about a freebie or a launch from one of my guests on this show. The goal here is for them to model for you, and to practice for themselves, how to be 100% human have a truly authentic conversation. It’s inevitable that we’ll talk about our businesses and our clients… but you’re going to notice how different it is to really get to know someone as the focal point, rather than just hearing them practice their sentence about who they serve and what they offer.
