Are you living a life of adventure? Or are you simply going through the motions and missing out on your biggest, boldest dreams?
Today’s guest has regularly made gutsy moves in his life: from joining the Army as an officer and serving in Iraq … to dropping out of law school … to quitting several corporate jobs … to launching the first ever 7-day-a-week podcast for entrepreneurs … to recently moving from California to Puerto Rico.
Master interviewer and EOFire podcast host extraordinaire John Lee Dumas is our amazing guest on Get Gutsy. Get excited!
JLD is the one who inspired me to create this podcast when I met him in 2014 when we were speakers at an event. As soon as I heard him share his story, I told him, “I’m starting a podcast.” And under his guidance, I did. Life will never be the same!
I can think of no better person to be our grand finale guest for Bring the Heat Week! Are you prepared to IGNITE?
