This is a Glassbox Media Podcast.

In this episode of the Ziegler Show, we come back to a basic common sense skill that

has become uncommon, asking for help, guidance, insight, advice, direction, and imagine waking

up in the middle of New York City, let's say, with no phone or map, and you must make it

But today in our increasingly isolated lives, we seldom reach out and ask for much of anything.

And what we find is the people we all look to for guidance spend a significant portion

of their existence asking others for guidance.

So Mark Victor Hansen, he's co-author of the chicken suit for the sole book series and

And his best selling author, wife, Crystal, they have written a book, an entire book on

this issue and the grand opportunity we can claim for ourselves if we'll learn how and

when to ask for guidance and direction our lives.

The book's called Ask, the bridge from your dreams to your desk and destiny.

you're here to talk about.
