Summary

Episode 002: Chris Brogan: How To Take Over And Set Bigger Goals

After we finished recording this interview, Chris said to me, “You’re a good egg Ryan Hawk. Thank you for having me on.” I’m not sure why, but I really enjoyed getting a thoughtful, real compliment from someone like Chris. Chris has a podcast guest standard that he will only record for 20 minutes (it makes sense based on his schedule and the amount of requests he gets). When I shut it down after 21 minutes, he asked to keep going… Just a really enjoyable, fun, and educational episode. We’ll record another 20 minutes together soon…

0:03.8	How does entrepreneurship work and how do I explain it to somebody?
0:07.6	And all the books out there on entrepreneurship pretty much were like two white guys with ties shaking hands across the boardroom table and I thought you
0:14.4	know there's a lot of other ways to get that done so I decided you know I would write the book that my
0:19.1	kids might need and turns out a few thousand other people might have needed it too, so that worked for me.
0:24.4	Our leaders born or are they made. Our host Ryan Hawk believes that leaders can be made through determined

1:29.5	does at the beginning of every year. We talked about why his kids will never work in a cubicle, very
1:34.2	interesting part. We also talked about the conversations he's had with the
