How to make a living while you’re making a difference. A weekly show for independent professionals who want to go from six-figures to seven while increasing their impact on the world.
Passion Is A Story
Pursue intimacy at scale.
Only create value that can’t be easily copied.

Fewer passionate customers are better than a lot of indifferent ones.
Passion is a story.
Never be in the commodity business, even if you sell what other people consider a commodity.
