Hello, world.

Welcome to discover your talent, do what you love.

I'm your host, Don Hutchison.

Every Monday and Wednesday, I interview someone from 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 an

individual with many years of experience from one of the top-ranked occupations or professions

who share an insider's look at what it's really like to do what they do.

By the end of his first college semester, Jake was already on academic suspension.

He was tempted to say, I didn't really care about college anyway.

Self-conscious about his dyslexia, he believed he was only good at sports and music.

Then on a mission to the Pacific Northwest, his

outlook brightened and he said to himself, hey, I can really do this. His life was about to be transformed.

I'm delighted to bring you our featured guest, Jake Ballantyne. Welcome, Jake. Thank you very much.

Jake, are you using your talents doing work that you love?

I absolutely am.

All righty.

We want to hear the whole story.

Jake Ballantyne is a national award-winning motivational speaker and musician.

He's the author of your number one goal, a contributing author, and Jack Canfield's Living

the Success Principles, and the host of the Focus on the Good podcast.

inspiring more than 250,000 people with his unique brand of motivation, music, and positivity.
