Lori Allen and I have worked together for years on the Great Escape Radio Podcast . Now, we have retired the podcast, but I wanted to share Lori's incredible story with you. Lori begins by talking about why it is difficult to tell your own story. So many of us can promote someone else but have trouble sharing our own story. We don't share our story because of the risk of being vulnerable and failing. Instead, we try to fit in by being like other people. In this episode, you will also hear the un...

Tesla recently introduced the Cybertruck . On the first day, you could do so, I pre-ordered a Cybertruck. For the past 10 years, I have driven a Montero I paid cash for. Car payments are not something I have any interest in. So why would I pre-order a Cybertruck? First, I can say I pre-ordered a Tesla. If nothing else, it is worth $100 just to be able to say that. Even better, from now until the vehicles are available sometime in 2021, I get to imagine what it will be like to own and drive a Tes...

This episode of The Jody Maberry Show was inspired by a recent iTunes review of the podcast. Part of the review states, "Jody is a bit like the Garrison Keillor of business podcasting..." Reading that reminds me of the time I met Garrison Keillor in Seattle. After one of his live events, I had the chance to get some books signed by Garrison. He took the time to admire my tie. He told me I married the prettiest girl in the San Juan Islands. He made an effort to make us feel special, even though w...
