Max built up an award-winning 7-figure digital marketing agency, Megaphone , and started investing in startups, but, along the way, he, like me, started wondering "Hey, what do I get to learn and how do I get to learn new things as a grown-up adult?".

Greetings, SuperFriends! Today we are joined by Julie Dirksen. Julie is a learning strategist and an instructional designer, who focuses on the science of sustainable behavior change.

So, we'll have to do a follow-up episode just on that. Nevertheless, I think you folks are really going to e...

July 9th-11th, 2018 As I write this, I am happily seated in a beautifully appointed business class seat, returning from an incredibly blissful week-long island retreat with my team members and their families, full of strategy, connection, and bonding.

Just over 15 months ago, if you'd told me I'd be...
