I'm delighted to bring you two Pivot podcasts that may just be my favorites yet—with Mitch Joel, author of Six Pixels of Separation and Ctrl Alt Delete, and Stephen Shapiro, author of Invisible Solutions and Best Practices are Stupid.
We cover tremendous conversational ground: sensing trends, facilitating great conversations, the one skill everyone needs, why friendtors are too often overlooked, our allergy to the phrase "innovative" and what it really means (hint: relevance), "goal-free living," and Stephen's powerful 5D's of disruption.
A QUICK FAVOR (OR TWO) IF YOU HAVE A MINUTE!
Speaking of which, I’d love your help tipping Pivot over the 200 reviews milestone—at the time of this writing, we've just got TWO to go! That means your review counts — yes yours :)
If you’ve read the book, please share your honest thoughts, I'd be super grateful :) Even better, gift a copy to a friend!
As I shared in the recent I Don't Know episode of the podcast (still going strong with daily episodes!), I'm also at a content inflection point amidst this pandemic. I'd love to know what’s on your mind, and what would be most helpful for me to tackle next.
Take the 5-minute Pivot listener survey and/or submit a question via voice note.
ANYONE RELATE? 😂
