Today’s episode isn’t about my life in the corporate world per se, but it does touch on my experience in leaving that world. Today’s episode topic is important. It’s so important to me, that it was one of the first topics I discussed back in episode 14, “You Do Not Have Because You Do Not Ask.” Mark also touched on this topic in episode 248, “Ask and You Shall Receive.”
What is today’s topic? Asking.
While there are several moments in my life that I can look back on and see how the simple act of asking had a profoundly positive impact, I want to focus on three of them today.
The first example is the story that I shared in episode 14. I’ll briefly retell it. Read More…

I only need it to be excellent, which at my current level of podcasting is easily achievable. And once it’s launched, I can then keep striving for excellence by making each episode better than the last as my skills keep improving. Read More…

Today I want to tell you a story about misfit. Our misfit was born and raised in the north where it is very cold. The town where he grew up was dependent on a single employer and a single industry. So just like everyone else he knew, he was destined to work at the same factory as they were.
While this may seem like a boring, even monotonous way of life, no one seemed to mind. Everyone got along, they all had a really good boss, and they took pleasure in the quality of their work and the impact they were making on the world. Read More…

Every kid loves spending time in the swimming pool, or at a water park, and my kids are no exception.

Over the last 3 months I have worked harder and longer than I ever have in my life. You could say that I’ve worked like a dog. I am usually a detailed oriented person. For example, if you look at www.propodcastsolutions.com, there are a lot of details at play that you might have missed or never notice. One of those details is that in every video, I’m wearing a shirt that has complimentary colors to the rest of the website. Read More…
