In this episode, Hersh Rephun is joined by Tony Whatley. They discuss the intersection of comedy and business, the pursuit of success, and the importance of self-investment. They delve into public speaking versus improv, engage in an improv skit, and debate veganism. Tony also shares his current projects, views on technology, and advice for aspiring business people.
I'm keeping these show notes short, because my on-air intro of this guest is long-winded, quirky, and - to the Hershheads out there - funny & charming. I recorded it in honor of Tony Whatley, executive performance coach, best-selling author, and leading light of the 365 Driven society. Tony shares his mindset and business strategies within his book, Side Hustle Millionaire. He also teaches entrepreneurs how to start, scale, and exit their business within his Top-1% globally ranked podcast and consulting brand 365 Driven.
Tony tells me, "What makes you think you're gonna be able to make everyone like you? It's literally impossible, so go out there and do that thing."
