THE LONELIEST JOB “Nobody understands an entrepreneur like another entrepreneur. Everyone thinks they do – and many even think they are – but when it comes to the true heart of a risk-it-all, live-on-the-edge, adrenaline-rush, never-enough, just-one-more life of a man on a mission, nobody understands an entrepreneur like another entrepreneur.
EDU-TAINMENT MASTER “As a college professor for nearly 15 years (adjunct, of course), I always referred to my classroom as requiring ‘edu-tainment.’ Let’s face it: In the age of the smart phone, nobody wants to listen to what you have to say if they’re not amused by it. You’re just one swipe away from insignificance. Undergraduate students (oh, heck, even graduate students) need to feel a connection to the presenter if you stand any chance of them feeling a connection to the presentation.
DATE YOUR CLIENTS I’m just strange, I guess. Most people are terrified of both public speaking and essay tests, but for me, they’re both exhilarating experiences. They’re about unique expression, rather than summarization or regurgitation. And, while I love communicating with an audience from a platform, there is no platform I love more than the written word. There is something just powerful about the ability to express yourself in writing – forever preserved.
BORN TO SERVE “I remember the moment that my entire outlook on humanity changed. Literally, I remember the faces, the setting, the entire night. It was like I was instantaneously gifted with a sensitivity to the struggles of other people – and when I tell you that it was a gift, I mean it. It didn’t come with a return policy either. Seeing and feeling the struggles of others will change you.
A COMPETITION TO THE DEATH “I’ve always loved travel: a love that I coincidentally shared with my step-mother. Also, coincidentally, at a family Christmas gift exchange nearly 20 years ago, we had each purchased the same gift for the other: a copy of the travel guide, 1,000 Places to See Before You Die. At first, she thought that she had accidentally opened the gift she had bought for me, and quickly rewrapped it.
