435: How Anyone Can Turn An Unsolved Problem Into a Breakthrough Success with Danny Warshay

by

There seem to be a lot of college professors writing books these days; or at least I’m interviewing my fair share of them. That many are writing their first (or in some cases second, third, or fourth) book is for good reason. Their research and experiences testing their theories in the classroom is something few of us have the ability to do.

My latest guest is a professor at Brown University. His name is Danny Warshay and he’s written a new book called See, Solve, Scale: How Anyone Can Turn an Unsolved Problem Into a Breakthrough Success.

Entrepreneurship, he says, is not a spirit or a gift. It is a process that anyone can learn, and that anyone can use to turn a problem into a solution with impact.

Danny overturns the common misconception that entrepreneurship is a hardwired trait or the sole province of high-flying MBAs, and provides a proven method to identify consequential problems and an accessible process anyone can learn, master and apply to solve them.

In short, you’ll learn how to find and validate a problem, develop an initial small-scale solution, and scale a long-term solution.

Their book together is called Leading With Heart: Five Conversations That Unlock Creativity, Purpose, and Results, and it’s already spent a few weeks on the Wall Street Journal bestseller list.

430: The Secret Society of Success with Tim Schurrer

by

My good friend Jody Maberry, who interviewed me about my book back in Episode #385, recently reached out about introducing me to a young man who’s just published his own new book.

His name is Tim Schurrer and he is the author of The Secret Society of Success: Stop Chasing the Spotlight and Learn to Enjoy Your Work (and Life) Again.

Tim says there’s a message getting a lot of airtime these days. It’s a message that says, to be successful, you have to step into the spotlight, climb the ladder, become the boss, or chase whatever version of success that’s been dangled in front of you.

But what if, Tim asks, there’s another way? What if fame, money, and power aren’t all that we should be chasing?

In his new book, Tim invites you to reevaluate your definition of success and learn a new, freer way to go about achieving it. How do you learn this approach? With the Secret Society as your guide—a community of people who know how to make an impact, whether they have the spotlight or not.

I admire anyone who manages to write or cowrite as many as thirty books in their lifetime. This person’s work has been featured on the podcast before, but he’s not yet been a guest…until today.

427: Simple Money, Rich Life with Bob Lotich

by

I’ve known today’s guest for several years. We live near each other and have met in person on two previous occasions. The first was at my book launch party last August. Bob Lotich was kind enough to show up and give support to the project.

The first time I ever met Bob was to help a mutual friend with a move. It was one of the longest, most grueling days of manual labor I can honestly remember.

But I also remember how even keel Bob remained throughout the entire afternoon. He was impressive actually.

Still, not nearly as impressive as his writing skills. And to think that, in school, English and writing were pretty much his worst subjects.

His book, with input within the book from his wife Linda, is one of the easiest reads on money I’ve ever encountered. If this is a subject you need to wrap your head around, you want help from someone who won’t make you feel dumb, and you want to see impact immediately, then pick up Simple Money, Rich Life: Achieve True Financial Freedom & Design a Life of Eternal Impact.
