This will be the final episode of It’s Not What It Seems. Thank you so much for listening and your ongoing support. It was a ton of fun and an honor to do the show. As the great Dr. Seuss once said, “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.” 

As for me, I will just be placing a larger focus on my writing––adding two new columns to the blog, working on some long-form projects, and doing some collaboration work. Plus, I’m working on a new book. So I truly hope this isn’t the end for you and I. The easiest way to stay in touch and see all the new stuff that’s coming is to join my reading list at DVReadingList.com.

In this episode of the, It’s Not What It Seems podcast, I have a down to earth conversation with David JP Fisher. D. Fish has written nine books including the best-sellers Hyper Connected Selling, Networking in the 21st Century, and most recently he released the 2nd edition of Networking in the 21st Century on LinkedIn. And given how integral this platform has become in the lives of so many professionals, I thought it would make a great conversation…

In this episode of the, It’s Not What It Seems podcast, I have a great conversation with Dr. Loretta Breuning. Loretta is the author of Tame Your Anxiety: Rewiring Your Brain for Happiness. You might remember my conversation with Loretta from way back in episode 3 when we talked about the happy chemicals: dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins. I learned so much from that conversation, so when Loretta told me about her new book, I instantly wanted to get her back on the show to talk about it. I think we all experience anxiety to a certain degree, so I thought it was incredibly pertinent…

In this episode of the, It’s Not What It Seems podcast, I have a fun conversation with John Crowley. John is the author of Knuckle Dragging Sales: A Primitive Process to Make More Money. Our conversation touched on various aspects from John’s inspiring life, including beating cancer, quitting drinking, and selling like a caveman. John is a coach, mentor, speaker, and host of his own podcast, the Knuckle Dragging Sales Podcast, where he talks shop with sales leaders and professionals across the country. He helps sellers take it back to the roots of selling, and like me, he’s a big believer in practicality and simplicity. John is someone who I consider to be not only a colleague and a friend, but a true inspiration. I think you’ll see why pretty quickly…

In this episode of the, It’s Not What It Seems podcast, I share an audio article titled, Why I Do What I Do: A Manifesto. I wrote this article to help you understand my sole intention behind why I write my books and articles (and do this show.) Okay, I spoil it. I write to help you to think differently, live better, and be more open-minded. Why? It’s far too often and frequently we become siloed in our opinions, beliefs, and habits. I believe this might be the most detrimental thing in our lives. In the article, I’ll explain what matters most to me and share some important stories to articulate concepts I champion…

Maybe you remember my first conversation discussing Toltec philosophy with don Jose Ruiz’s brother, don Miguel Ruiz Jr. Like his brother, don Jose Ruiz lectures and gives workshops around the world. He dedicates his life to sharing the ancient Toltec wisdom by translating it into practical everyday life concepts that promote transformation through truth, love, and common sense. He is the author of The Wisdom of the Shamans: What the Ancient Masters Can Teach Us about Love and Life, and the co-author, with his father don Miguel Ruiz, of The Fifth Agreement…
