Talking with Shoan Snoday About Creative Thinking & Finding the Right Connections For Business Success
On the unique and special podcast The Choreography of Negotiation, I speak with Shoan Snoday about building a business that fits the life you want to live but is also marketable when you’re ready to sell.
Shoan & I both have worked in internet businesses since the 90’s so it was a lot of fun to talk with someone else who came up through the Wild, Wild West days of the web. Back then you had to think creatively because there was nobody to copy.
It’s too easy now to just mimic everyone else. DON’T DO IT! It’s your business & you can make it anything you want.

3 questions that will help you learn to think disruptively
“If you can figure out a way to use your gifts and the things that you have been blessed with to help other people in some way, it always comes back to you – even if it’s just because you feel good, like I did.” Note: when I mentioned 2008 in this episode I meant 2018 – hahaha. Hey, just a decade off!
I had sooo much fun talking with my great friend Roberto Inderbitzin, a Zurich-based Swiss-Mexican disruptive multidisciplinary designer (is that enough adjectives for you? lol), in this episode! Think you’ll be able to tell from my voice 🙂

UNIQUE THIS WEEK PODCAST
How to disrupt your now and create a life by design
Chief Dof Connector Andy Greider & I talk about the big mistake that I see all too often: entrepreneurs building a job rather than a business that lets them live the life they dream of. It’s not all about money! It’s about knowing what YOU really want out of life and intentionally focusing on that as a guidepost in building your business. Every decision should take you closer to your personal goals rather than further away.

Why I Fight Suicide: My Personal Story
If you or anyone you know is experience suicidal thoughts, please call the National Suicide Hotline: 800-273-8255.
When I was 5, I lost Grandpa to suicide. 3 years later I almost lost Grandma. These family tragedies have made suicide prevention an important cause to me, and are the root of why I work pro bono with NASCAR driver Colin Garrett to combat the epidemic of suicide.
I understand how devastating suicide is. The fact is, research shows suicidal behavior is contagious and that is certainly borne out by my family’s experience. (ref. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK207262/).
