410: Creating the Most Persuasive Presentations of Your Life with Dan Roam

My guest today is someone I’ve learned a ton from when it comes to creating and delivering better presentations.

dan roam

His name is Dan Roam. I was first impacted by his first book called The Back of the Napkin (links to his books below). Then, it was Show and Tell and Draw to Win. Later, I had the chance to see him present in person and even got to meet him afterward. He is incredibly gifted at what he does.

His new book, which was released in October of last year, is called The Pop-Up Pitch: The Two-Hour Creative Sprint to the Most Persuasive Presentation of Your Life.

In it, Dan outlines a fast and practical visual storytelling method that puts a powerful new toolkit into the hands of leaders, innovators, salespeople, teachers, and anyone who needs to quickly make an impact on increasingly distracted audiences.

409: Break Free From Daily Burnout, Struggle Less, and Thrive More in Work and Life with Nataly Kogan

Today’s guest is someone I’ve wanted to have on the show for several years now, ever since her first book was published back in 2018.

nataly kogan

I’m talking about Nataly Kogan. She is a successful entrepreneur, highly sought-after keynote speaker, and founder and CEO at Happier Inc., a company that has helped more than one million people live happier lives.

Life is messy and full of challenges, Nataly asserts. That’s part of being human after all. But the struggle, anxiety, and burnout that so often come with these experiences are optional. Can I get an “Amen”?

In her new book – out today – called The Awesome Human Project: Break Free From Burnout, Struggle Less, and Thrive More in Work and Life, she teaches you how to create a more supportive relationship with yourself, with your thoughts and emotions, and with other people, so you can become the awesome human you’re meant to be.

408: How to Lead a Life of Significance by Embracing Your Trials with Warwick Fairfax

I have so much respect for today’s guest. Most people, especially at age 29, would have crumbled under the weight of losing control of their family’s one-hundred-fifty-year-old company.

warwick fairfax

Not Warwick Fairfax. Now, that’s not to say what he went through wasn’t incredibly difficult. It certainly was.

But Warwick is not your average guy. Now 30+ years removed from the crucible that situation was for him, he’s sharing what he learned about this process with the rest of us.

Before you think, “What do I possibly have in common with a man who once ran a $700MM company?”, let me ask you: Have you ever experienced an event that devastated you? I know I have. Several in fact.

What matters for those of us who find ourselves in that situation is how we choose to respond. Warwick’s new book, Crucible Leadership: Embrace Your Trials to Lead a Life of Significance will show you the way.

406: A Cure for Anxiety From Former Anxiety-Ridden Workaholic Charlie Hoehn

Today, I am excited to introduce to you an author I’ve just recently met, but who has written at least five books so far.

I’m especially thankful to former guest Honoree Corder who put him on my radar. Thank you, Honoree!

charlie hoehn

His name is Charlie Hoehn and he describes himself (among other things) as a former, anxiety-ridden workaholic. Case in point: he’s a guy who once worked 90+ hours on just six hours of sleep. Yikes!

Charlie and I spend most of our time today chatting about his book Play It Away: A Workaholic’s Cure for Anxiety.

We also get into his work helping Tim Ferriss launch his follow-up to The Four-Hour Work Week, and how he was able to gain the attention of some of his biggest heroes.
