Strauss Zelnick was the chairman and CEO of Columbia Music, the CEO of BMG Entertainment, and the president and CEO of 20th Century Fox. He got his MBA and law degree from Harvard. We talked about all the areas of his life, and how he’s been able to compartmentalize the areas so he’s clear about what he is going to execute.

Today’s Topic: How to deal with procrastinators (even if you are one)

We all know those people who talk about wanting to make some changes in their life, or they have some big idea, but they never seem to do anything about it.

[5:14] Connecting over problems instead of solving them
[8:08] Making excuses

222: Konrad Waliszewski | How to Pre-Frame Travel Differently to Expand Your Identity Jan 13, 2020

Show notes

Konrad Waliszewski is the creator of an app called TripScout, one of the best curated travel apps in the world. He made the decision one year to get on a plane during a Chicago blizzard and leave, work remotely, and find out if anyone would notice he was gone-- they didn’t. That led into a ton of new, interesting travels across the world. He’s also doing all of this travel with two children. This is for anyone who wants to learn how to use travel to expand your life instead of escape it.

Show notes

Three years ago Lindsey Mango quit her corporate job to go all-in on her life coaching business, a move that has absolutely paid off. But before that she had some lessons to learn. As she says, she tried to stay the victim and make excuses for why she couldn't do the stuff she wanted. Until one day when she looked in the mirror and was thought, this is on you.

In This Conversation We Cover:

[4:23] How it felt when Lindsey quit her corporate job
[10:26] Realizing she was the reason she didn’t have the life she wanted

The competition closes at the end of the year. The winner will get a 90-day membership of our virtual membership which includes an ideation phone session with Kim and a three-pack set of The Push Journal.
