EP26: Garage Bands, Mastering Japanese, Sustainable Career Paths, and Biker-Bar Life Lessons
John wants you to know how his teen years spent in rock bands transformed his shy
ass into an adventure-seeking gonzo writer... and why this kind of experience is so critical for long successful careers in business.
What’s more, the guys go deep on:
Defining “success” with personal goals, and skipping the nonsense of external
standardsWhy it’s important to understand how much conversational fluency differs from
native fluency in language (and why this matters when you’re training your brain)How email marketing swamps social media when it comes to building crucial relationships with customer bases
How to goose your creative output and murder burnout early
And more: Making conscious choices about which opportunities to grab and which to
run away from screaming... sampling the “big fish in a small pond” lifestyle to see if it’s a
better fit for you than going after whales... and balancing your day job against passion
projects (and why both might break your heart and your bank account).
So much good stuff. Learn from the masters, and then go grab your destiny...
