Jack Butcher was a successful but burnt out co-owner of a small design agency with his wife Celia. The more business he won, the more of a grind it was. He thought there must be a smarter way. Inspired by the famous tweet storm by Naval Ravikant, he set out to transform their service business into a suite of digital products. They're off to a great start. Their business bank balance was $58 at the start of 2020 and was over $1 million by the end of the year. In this conversation, Jack talks about his experiences over the past year or so and provides advice for others looking to turn a service business or deep expertise into products that can earn while they sleep.

Alan Cross is the voice of a generation. Well…to be accurate…by this point, he’s the voice of at least a few generations. Alan has been a broadcaster for 40 years and while he’s done a ton of work throughout his career, he is best known as the host of the syndicated radio series The Ongoing History of New Music, which he started (against his will…more on that in the podcast interview) in early 1993. Today, he’s approaching 1,000 episodes of that show. They’re also available as podcast episodes and if you’re a music fan (and really…who isn’t?) I highly recommend that you check it out if you’re not already familiar with it. Alan creates shows that are insanely easy to listen to. They’re full of bits of trivia, nostalgia, storytelling and, of course, music. And the thing that brings it all together is that iconic and instantly recognizable voice. I’m extremely grateful that Cross took the time to speak with me. The fact that he did so in the middle of the holidays says even more about what a solid dude he is. We talked about his start in the radio business, his work ethic, his philosophy of success, which famous musicians make even him a little bit starstruck and a lot more. Hope you enjoy it!

In this hour-long chat, we touched on a whole bunch of topics and we got into the motivations and the personality of the man behind the flashy plaid suits. Hope you enjoy it!

Clint Hill is best known for his role in the presidential motorcade during the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. Mr. Hill was a Secret Service agent at the time, in charge of protecting First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. During the assassination on Elm Street in Dallas, while the shots were still ringing out, Agent Hill ran from the follow-up car, leapt onto the presidential limousine and shielded Mrs. Kennedy and President Kennedy with his body while the car sped toward Parkland Memorial Hospital. Mr. Hill has done many interviews about those six seconds in Dallas. You can find those on YouTube. Instead of duplicating that interview, I wanted to find out more about the man behind the iconic black and white images. Mr. Hill was gracious with his time and with his stories. I hope you enjoy this episode. If you do, please share it with someone else who might enjoy it as well. Thank you,Warren
