Hello, world.

Welcome to discover your talent, do what you love.

I'm your host, Don Hutchison.

Every Tuesday, 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 most popular or interesting occupations or professions who shares an insider's look of what it's really like to do what they do.

Today I'm delighted to bring you our featured guest, Joel Solomon, and our topic, A Day in the Life,

what's it really like to be an investor, advisor, and convener?

Welcome, Joel.

Thanks for having me, Don.

It's great to have you back on the show again.

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

I am.

For many years now, so we look forward to digging deep into that backstory.
