Making The Brand- Customer Experience With Chris Brogan

John Haydon is a friend, a musician, a Buddhist, an educator, and he's only got a little while longer to live. He's beat the odds by an immense stretch, but the road looks a lot closer to the end. He invited me to sit down with him and his brother Jim to talk about that.

John's new book, The Self Reliant Entrepreneur, is out and ready for you to love! Buy the hardcover, not the kindle. It's a daily reader kind of a book and it's a mighty tool for your success. Get this. 

Should you start a podcast? Or a YouTube channel? What do you need to know? I've got a podcast jumpstart if you want to get launched quickly. 

Charlie Gilkey is smart. Check out his new book, Start Finishing! 

In this, I talk through the concept of Monday resets. I give you four words as your program: forgive, refuel, target, connect. It'll make sense once you dig in. Sponsored by Thinkific: go to http://cbrogan.me/thinkific to check it out! 

Jason Kintzler runs LifeKey but I met him years ago when he launched PitchEngine. It's totally worth hearing from this smart entrepreneur with all kinds of success advice to share from his years of very hard work. 

Rorke Denver is a former US Navy Seal Commander, bestselling author, Hollywood movie actor, and leadership speaker and coach. I was happy to catch up with him after a few years and see what's new in his world.  His book is Damn Few. His movie is Act of Valor. Really swell dude! I put this out on Memorial Day to pay homage to those US military women and men who fell while serving our country. Always remember. 

I love interviewing Clay Hebert. He's got the perfect introduction, the perfect brand, and more. Catching up with Clay is HUGE! 

I catch up with author Mark Schaefer on his new book, Marketing Rebellion, and get more into what's going on in his world. 

Bryan Eisenberg and his brother Jeffrey are always out on the cutting edge of ecommerce and retail and a bunch of related technologies. Their book, Be Like Amazon, is a must read for strategy delivery. I got a chance to catch up with Bryan, so here's your opportunity to listen in. 

We don't talk enough about mental health and wellbeing for business professionals and entrepreneurs. Stress, anxiety, and depression are on the rise (thanks, modern society) and yet we don't know how to tell others what we're dealing with. We don't know how to help ourselves to feel less of it. And we don't know how to interact with others dealing with it. I have a few thoughts for you. Drop an email: chris@chrisbrogan.com if you want to talk more. 

My buddy Bryan Eisenberg talks about his book, Be Like Amazon, and more. It's fascinating stuff. Catch up with us! 

Let's catch up with Professor DaddyO from the legendary hip hop band Stetsasonic. Glenn Bolton is not only a musical icon, but also a technologist, a future thinker, and someone with a lot of good ideas and interesting perspectives. We cover a lot of ground in this interview. (It might be one of my top 3 ever.) 

Beth Comstock is the former Vice-Chair and CMO of GE, and she published an amazing book in 2018 called Imagine It Forward: Courage, Creativity, and the Power to Change. I haven't caught up with Beth in maybe ten years. She talks about leadership, about learning to be more creative, and about what it takes to make big companies and small alike move forward and grow.

A little miniseries for you. Todd Kerns is a very awarded and celebrated musician, playing most recently for Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators, but with several other bands also part of his life. I asked Todd about the business aspects of his job, but also how one balances being a "rock star" but also a real person and a business person.  This miniseries, Catch Up, will bring you connections with all kinds of interesting people doing work you will want to learn more about.  As always, drop me an email: chris@chrisbrogan.com , if you're so moved. 

Here's how I write books. More than just how, why. More than just why, "what's the reason and value for doing it?" More than all that, a no-BS way of looking at the process. 

Annie Duke might be most famous for her poker prowess, but I speak to her about her work as a passionate scientist as evidenced by her business and leadership book, Thinking in Bets. Annie's super smart and fun to learn from and has big ideas that we both need. This interview is part of my The 150 Project. Check out the other guests there! 

Jay Baer and Daniel Lemin have released Talk Triggers, a great book about how companies can build incredible connections via word of mouth. I catch up with Jay on that and on the space we both occupy in general. Part of my series, The 150. 

Part of a new series. Charles H Green is co-author of the fabled business book, The Trusted Advisor. He runs Trusted Advisor Associates and has been a friend of mine for around a decade. I asked Charlie to be the first of my new series, The 150, where I catch up with amazing people who do astounding work.  Learn more about Charlie at http://trustedadvisor.com Follow the Series HERE.

Ross Finman is lead AR researcher at Niantic labs (part of Google). We talk about what it takes to map a virtual world over the real one, and the future of augmented reality beyond Pokemon Go and the like. Sponsor: Editorr Music: Epidemic Sound
