Episode #138: Public Speaker Secrets with Michael Hudson

Proven Methods to Increase Your Impact

michael hudsonToday, my guest is someone who’s been on my radar for quite some time. 

His name is Michael Hudson. I’ve never met him face-to-face, however, because of a number of mutual connections, we’re “friends” on Facebook. 

Michael stood out to me in part because I saw him as someone who consistently contributed within my community. He’s was quick with a kind word or a helpful tip. He seemed to “spread good cheer” wherever he went.

So, when he sent me a short note mentioning he had a new book out (I believe it was on LinkedIn), I paid attention. The fact the book has the words Public Speaker Secrets in the title didn’t hurt either.

The full title of Michael’s new book is Public Speaker Secrets: 52 Proven Ways to Increase Your Impact Every Time You Speak! In it, he shares time-tested and proven lessons gleaned from over 30 years as a public speaker. If you’re looking to take your public speaking skills up a notch, click the play button below.

        Episode #134: How to Carve Out Creative Space

        With Amy Whitaker, author of Art Thinking

        amy whitakerUp until a few weeks ago, I’d never heard of Amy Whitaker or her new book.

        It’s awesome publications though like Success Magazine (I’ve been a subscriber since 2013) that have introduced me to new books and up-and-coming authors I might have otherwise missed. 

        Amy’s new book is Art Thinking: How to Carve Out Creative Space in a World of Schedules, Budgets, and Bosses, and it officially releases today, July 5, 2016. 

        Amy believes business thinkers can learn from artists and writers. To that Success Magazine says, “At a time when science, technology, engineering and math threaten to crowd the humanities out of American universities, Whitaker’s approach could not be more timely.” 

        Her book lays out a program for cultivating art thinking, and “how to leverage creative failure into progress, inventions, and new products or services.”

          An Encore and Ad-Free Presentation: A Conversation with Seth Godin

          What To Do When It's Your Turn

          seth godinThis is an encore and ad-free presentation of my conversation with Seth Godin, originally released in January 2015.

          It has been edited since its original publication and is better than ever. If you’ve never heard it, you must. But even if you have, I think you’ll agree it’s worthy of a repeat listen. Not because of me, but because of Seth.

          Since Seth and I first talked, he blogged about similar topics and even linked to Read to Lead in his post. Uh, yeah, I was thrilled to say the least.

          If you don’t know his work, Seth is the author of 18 bestsellers that have been translated into 35 languages. His latest is What to do When it’s Your Turn (and it’s Always Your Turn). He’s the founder of several companies, a member of the Direct Marketing Hall of Fame and an influential speaker around the world.

          He writes about treating people with respect, the changing economy and ideas that spread. Mostly, he creates projects, many of which end up failing.
