He’s got a brand new daily podcast called NFT 365 where he’s purchasing an NFT every single day, and decoding the mystery of NFT’s and crypto for the rest of us!  We also dug VERY deep into living with ADHD, how it affects us, and how we use it as a superpower.

Brian is @isocialfanz on all the socials.

Today, IN PERSON (gasp!) Anna David (http://www.launchpadpub.com) stops by to talk about the book writing process, how her company Launch Pad Publications can handle *all of it*, and the advantages of writing a book in 2021.  As a personal note, the book writing process really helps you “hone in” on your brand and your offering, IMHO.

JLD has written a *banger*.  Of all my years in this entrepreneurial space, all of the “how to” book have been incomplete…until now.  John has absolutely lifted the kimono on what it takes to create a successful side hustle, solopreneur business, or fire your boss and launch your own thing.  This is a MUST read for any aspiring, or successful entrepreneur.

Ant Anstead (http://antanstead.com) hosted me in his garage (Pronounced “Gare Edge”) for a sit down about his career, his current projects, and the real passion behind the work.  We talked about overcoming adversity, the “solace” of being in the garage and making something from scratch, as well as making the leap from a police officer to a coach builder and TV Host.  He’s a “yes” man…meaning he’ll say yes to an opportunity without knowing the outcome.  He just does it because he’s passionate about it.  So far, this mentality has fared well for his personal life and his career.
