Hello, world, welcome to discover your talent, do what you love, number 548. I'm your host, Don Hutchison.

Every Monday and Wednesday, I interview someone around the world

who's discovered their talents to do work they love to create a life of success, satisfaction, and

freedom. On Fridays, I interview a well-known expert from the fields of personal or business

development who share experiences, tools, and insights to help our listeners

along their journeys. I'm delighted to bring you our featured expert, Michael Hahn. Welcome, Michael.

Thank you. Glad to be here. Michael Hahn is a culture expert, leadership speaker, and author of the

new book, Hero Habits, the Guide to Thriving in Corporate America and in Life,

recently featured in Inc. Magazine, Chicago Business Journal, and Startup Magazine.

Michael has led the culture movement for all state insurance and also won the PRSA Award for

Brand Management and Reputation in 2015. He's a master storyteller, multiple

degree black belt, and Super Daddy, who loves to unleash the hero in individuals, teams, and

organizations. Well, Michael, today's topic is hero habits, how to unleash the hero in you,

is based on your many, many years experience out there in the world

and on this book that you just wrote. So take the stage and set us up for this conversation.

Well, I've found through my own personal experience, Don, that we can either be a hero or we can

listen to that voice in our mind, which is the villain voice. And through conversations with many

other people in my interviews for the book

and in conversations like these, I found that everybody has the same kind of feeling. Like how do we

unleash that hero in ourselves? We've all felt those moments of greatness, but how do we make it

sustainable? And so I thought, let's figure that out. And thus, I wrote the book. Beautiful.
