Summary

(Content Warning) This week we go deep in an incredible conversation with author and business coach John Romaniello. John's clear, level-headed openness--about his father, psychedelics, recovering from abuse, forced vs. developed empathy, the meaning of becoming a man--I'll just say there's a lot to unpack here!

0:19.5

John is a writing mentor and business coach based in New York City.

He helps entrepreneurs build and scale businesses through writing and branding.

0:28.8

His work includes business articles, development essays, and all manner of half-clever thoughts

0:34.9

to improve your day. He also has a disclaimer on his website that says,

0:40.3

definitely do not read my shit if you hate being successful or fun. So as you can tell,

0:45.1

read out the gates, a little clever, a little cheeky. So John has written a ton of stuff

0:52.1

on a really broad variety of subjects. He's talked about ayahuasca. He's talked about

1:00.9

really his main piece is storytelling and how we can use storytelling to elevate our brands,

our businesses, our messages, and get them out into the world.

1:47.0

about the different challenges, the different obstacles that he's gone through. So this is a

1:52.4

really direct and also very sort of vulnerable and authentic podcast where John is, you know,

courageous enough to share his story in a way that i don't think he's done on very many other platforms and uh this is a guy that gets interviewed a lot

2:10.2
