Welcome to Nobody Told Me. I'm Jan Black. And I'm Laura Owens. Joining us on this episode is

best-selling author Sam Horn, founder and CEO of the Intrigue Agency,

whose mission it is to help people create a quality life work ratio that adds value for all involved.

Sam is a communication strategist and the author of many books, the latest of which is called Someday is not a day in the week.

Ten hacks to make the rest of your life the best of your life.

Sam, thank you so much for joining us.

Oh, I've been looking forward to sharing some ideas with your listeners.

Well, we've been looking forward to it too.

Tell us about your background.

You know, I was very fortunate.

I helped start and run the Maui Writers Conference

for 17 years. We gave people from around the world a chance to jump the chain of command

and pitch their screenplay to Ron Howard or pitch their novel to the head of Doubleday. And I also

speak for corporations like Intel and Cisco. I've got eight books that have been sold

around the world, including tongue fu. And I get to coach people on how to put together a

compelling TEDx talk or a book that really makes a difference in people's lives. So where did you get

the idea for this book? Someday is not a day of the week. You know, I was so

fortunate. I had a chance to go on a year by the water. I traveled the country visiting bodies of

water and interviewing people. What makes you happy? What makes you unhappy? What are you doing about it?

And when they heard what I was doing, they would kind of gaze wistfully off into the distance and say,

someday, I'm going to do something like that.

And I thought, no, if you don't put a day on the calendar, someday will probably never come.
