Reached an in-principle agreement with a new podcast host yesterday. Won't name names since we don't have all the legal stuff squared away, but I looooove this gentleman.
To say that he's been instrumental in shaping my views on leadership would be a dramatic understatement. So I'm thrilled that we get to work with him if for no other reason than because we get to work with one of my idols.
Quick side note: A couple of months ago, our newest awesome team member Gabe called to say, 'Hey, we have a call set up with 'Bob.' Are you familiar with him?'
My response: 'Tell ya what, bud. I'm hanging up now because I don't like being lied to. You call me back when you can start telling the truth.' Click.
So yesterday 'Bob' said, 'I think we should start by working through my book 'X.''
'X' was the first book I read by him, and it's horribly dog-eared and highlighted.
My response was (and this is the part where I demonstrate that I can be a complete child), 'If you had told me 10 or 12 years ago when I first read that book that I would get a chance to dialogue with the author, I probably would have peed my pants right then and there.'
Thankfully, 'Bob' laughed, but I looked over at Gabe to see him shaking his head in shame.
I love being a child. :)
So, congrats on landing maxwell.
