Hello Everyone! Welcome to the introduction episode of Takeaways – the podcast. Why am I doing this? Early 2017, I started sharing my Takeaways from the various (business and real estate) events that I attend throughout the year. It has been incredibly fulfilling. I started listening to podcasts in 2016 when Malcom Gladwell released Revisionist History. Then I found Seth Godin’s Start Up School. Now I’m a regular – James Altucher is my current favorite. The other catalyst for me leaping in the podcasting world was enrolling in Seth Godin’s altMBA. It’s a 30 day online workshop all about leveling up. Doing. And demonstrating how capable we are in creating. So here goes… I get to attend incredible events all year long as part of my work. There are always Takeaways. I share those on my blog. I am also blessed to be around remarkable people. There too are always Takeaways to learn. That is what I am sharing on this podcast. Takeaways – Life. Lessons. Learned. explores learning from the wisdom of others. The show format will be me and a guest. Varied guests. Like a commercial real estate developer, Senior Pastor of a mega church here in Las Vegas, business coach, fraternity executive, police captain, physician and oh-so-many more! My guests and I will talk, tell stories, and even perform spoken word poetry. The topics covered will include, stature, grief, having valuable conversations, drive vs. ambition, moments of influence. Who knows what else we will learn? Who knows what might be shared that will inspire your next great creation or achievement? I will share and explore Takeaways that I have learned from the people who have influenced me. At the very least I hope you will be entertained. At the very best you will find value in these Takeaways and will use them to do something meaningfully awesome!
