The Danger of Doing Too Much: with Chris Brogan

The Danger of Doing Too Much: with Chris Brogan

I remember the day I decided to write The Successful Mistake, and how I created a list of people I’d love to interview. Chris Brogan sat atop this list, and after overcoming a few nerves, I reached out to him with open arms.

He said yes to me, because he’s awesome, and my-oh-my am I glad he did. As one of the web’s major powerhouses, you may assume Chris is unbreakable, but you’d be wrong. He’s made mistakes in the past, and will in the future. He’s a human, like me. Like you. He’s one of us. He just so happens to rock it out and have lots of awesome wisdom to share.

Scale Your Idea Before You Create It: with Pamela Slim

Scale Your Idea Before You Create It: with Pamela Slim

Some people provide a certain bounce and energy to get you through the day, and Pamela Slim is one of them. The wonderful woman who helps, inspires, and teaches people to escape the cubicle and embrace a life they’re destined for, I just had to get her involved in The Successful Mistake.

I’m sure you’ve heard of Pam and her wise advice, and I’m sure you’ve read her work, listened to her podcast, and graced her site. If not, listen to this wonderful session, and click the damn links below. You need her in your life!

Project Management – The Secret Sauce To Cesar’s Success: with Cesar Abeid

Project Management – The Secret Sauce To Cesar’s Success: with Cesar Abeid

When I began The Successful Mistake, I was excited to interview people from all walks of life. As someone who travelled from one culture to another, set up shop, and found his passion, Cesar Abeid is the kind of guy I’m delighted to know.

It takes a while to figure out life, and what it is you want from it. Cesar spent years existing, rather than thriving. Then, one day, he discovered Project Management, and he’s never looked back. A true story built around true callings. Enjoy, you lucky individual.

When Bad Clients Lead to Great Ideas: with Linsi Brownson

When Bad Clients Lead to Great Ideas: with Linsi Brownson

Linsi Brownson travelled from the Midwest to California, in search for a life she could treasure forever. 3 Universities, and 3 degrees later, she started her own business, but bad clients, burnout, and a “this isn’t what it’s supposed to be like” feeling forced her to ask some rather important questions.

This is what The Successful Mistake is all about, and the way Linsi overcame her issues is something we can all learn from. This is a real tale with real pain and real situations you and I both go through. Let’s all thank Linsi for her awesome insight, shall we…

How To Avoid Entrepreneurial ADD: with Jim Hopkinson

How To Avoid Entrepreneurial ADD: with Jim Hopkinson

I came across Jim Hopkinson early in my entrepreneurial career, and between his kind words and wonderful podcast, he’s helped me grow and grow and grow. What a dude, and what a treat you are in for, as he discusses his #GreatMistake and the trouble of hopping from hone job/idea to another.

In aid of The Successful Mistake, Jim was one of my earlier interviews, and it feels good to finally share it with the world. Get ready to be impressed, you crazy misfit. Jim is in the house!

How A Tiny Mistake Lead To A $500,000 Culture Shock: with Dave Kerpen

How A Tiny Mistake Lead To A $500,000 Culture Shock: with Dave Kerpen

Every now and then, I find someone online, stop in my tracks, and say out loud, “I need to have this person in The Successful Mistake”. Sometimes it’s whilst I’m in bed, other times I’m in the middle of a coffee shop. I don’t remember where I was when I first found Dave Kerpen, but I remember shouting, “Yes. This guy. Yes.”

As the head honcho of one of the biggest and brightest social media-esque empires, Dave is much more than a mere founder. He’s a writer. An inspirer. A happy-go-lucky kind of guy that inspires fellows like me. He was also kind enough to share his #GreatMistake, and that’s why you’re here now. I hope you’re ready for a ride, my dear friend. For Dave will take you on one.

Fulfil Your Dreams By Screaming No To Fear: with Debbie Millman

Fulfil Your Dreams By Screaming No To Fear: with Debbie Millman

Debbie Millman is a been-there-and-done-it kind of gal, whose C.V. is more impressive than most Presidents and Royals. Whether it’s as President at Sterling Brands, a designer, author, educator, or radio host, Debbie is sure to impress. And, as I’m sure you can guess, involving her in The Successful Mistake was a bit of a no-brainer.

But Debbie isn’t perfect, and she explores her past and shares one or two regrets with us. Such a great insight, and proves that it’s never too late to fulfil your dreams. You’ll love this, you really will. So, I’ll shut up and let you get to the good stuff.

Conform To Yourself, Not Everyone Else: with Marianne Cantwell

Conform To Yourself, Not Everyone Else: with Marianne Cantwell

I came across Marianne Cantwell through the lovely Natalie Sisson, and seen as I had a Kiwi involved in The Successful Mistake, I figured it only fair to grab an Aussie, too. Well, I sure am glad I did, for Marianne offers an insight that’s about to blow you away.

Nodding my head throughout, I understand her woes, for I lived them, too. I bet you have, also, and are possibly living them right now. It’s stories like these that pick me up and urge me to keep pushing forward, and I hope it has a similar effect on you. Thank you, Marianne.
