Are you fed up with living a normal life, but the life of your dreams is beyond reach and seems impossible to have?

What if you could do the impossible?

Today we are joined by the man behind ‘The Blog of Impossible Things’, Joel Runyon. A few years ago, out of work (again), he started a list of things that were impossible to do and achieve – and did them anyway.

This exclusive and truly inspiring interview takes us through the different reasons why people see uncomfortable situations as obstacles rather than opportunities and creating a mindset shift that will push you to do something you want to do and just do it.

Take away life lessons, mental conditioning, cold shower therapy (see below!) and different ways to do the impossible. Get valuable insights and tips on how to push through the barriers that stop us from living a great life.

Inspiring Innovation Podcast
Inspiring Innovation Podcast episode 28  Get it on iTunes

What does it take to go from No-One to Market-Leading Expert without any formal education?

In episode 28 of the Inspiring Innovation Podcast, we are joined by market-leading expert Mark Anthony Bates, a much-respected individual in the world of public speaking and marketing, who had built a roster of clients from Fortune 100 companies with achievements that did not come from inside a classroom, but through curiosity and the desire to help others.

Often referred to as “the coach’s coach” and as a leading public speaking coach,  Mark shares in this exclusive interview (that took almost 12 months to set up!) how he achieved his success and how he has established his name – without all the pomp and circumstance of the limelight.

He dishes out golden advice on how to make a difference in the world even if it is on a small-scale, how to get started, and how to not get overwhelmed and freeze. You’ll hear his own fears, struggles and hardships along the way.

Mark also offers some great advice for those that are struggling with A.D.D. and their career.

Being a public speaking coach, I wouldn’t let him of the hook without giving away some great resources on how can we start improving our crowd and public speaking skills.

This is a very exclusive interview. Mark hardly gives interviews (hell, he doesn’t even have a website!), so you can literally get him only here – at the Inspiring Innovation Podcast – your weekly backstage pass to success.

Episode Highlights:

  • Starting a business venture while holding a full-time job – how Mark did it while focusing on the why, not on the how?
  • How to avoid the “freeze”, overwhelm, effect of entrepreneurship.
  • Mark’s key ingredient to his success.
  • Standing out by helping others shine.
  • Becoming a market leading expert without any formal education (without finishing high-school, for that matter!)
  • Improving your public speaking skills.
  • Why it should never be about you when you deliver a message.
  • Doing good things to other people without getting caught.
  • How to become a hugely successful entrepreneur and not let A.D.D. get in the way?

What does language learning have to do with entrepreneurship and success?

EVERYTHING!

Episode 26 of the Inspiring Innovation Podcast is an exclusive interview with the Irish Polyglot (speaker of multiple languages) – Benny Lewis.

In this truly unique and inspiring interview, Benny talks about how he became a polyglot, what it takes to learn a language in 3 months and from that we conclude how to set yourself to achieve anything in life – whether it’s learning a foreign language or being successful in business.

With over eleven years of travelling all over the world and learning languages along the way, Benny talks about the unconventional techniques he learned from his experiences. We discuss his product that allows him to make a living from what he loves, and his goals with blogging. You’ll find out why Benny think it’s wrong to try to become a guru prodigy that has all the answers, as he offers a much easier and more satisfying path.

Benny shares some great tips and solutions to roadblocks that other people come up with when trying to learn a language – or achieve any type of goal in life. It turns out that it’s always the same roadblocks, no matter what challenge one faces.
