We do so many things, but how often do we take a step back to really ask ourselves why we're doing them? Busyness isn't productivity, and it doesn't create happiness.

In today's AMXbooks, we're talking goals in training, social media and our own identities.  For more w/ The Spaniard:   Website/Bookings/Reading List: https://charliespaniard.com Book: http...

Pressure creates diamonds, but is also creates a whole bunch of not-good stuff upon ourselves. Awareness and a healthy dose of what's important can help combat that negative tendency.

I want you to want to read a book bc they pr...

We're posting this episode just after Veterans' Day, so it is a particular pleasure that it features good work by and for veterans.

In particular, Charlie E highlights mentoring pr...

In our first day of Unplugged, we dive into the role technology has secured in our lives, the abundance of information flooding our senses and our current health state as a society.

Want to dive into some more philosophy perta...

I'm not exaggerating when I say that this week's learning had me in tears. Ha! I know...whatever...it is what it is!

So you're an undergrad in Digital Media & PR, and who comes in to speak but The Spaniard, an energetic up-and-coming media professional who is scratching and clawing to grow his fan base. He is ultra-real with the class about how hard it can be to build a business. He gets into things that are unfamiliar to many, such as intellectual property and leveraging a platform. And if that's not sexy enoug...

In today's AMX, we focus on: the power of curiosity and asking questions, Mr. Rogers' empathetic, honest and direct approach to communicating w/ children and one of my favorites takeaways from the book (you gotta listen to find out!

Not long ago, I had a hometown connection, Cory Geishauser, on my show. He worked, and was friends, w/ Fred Rogers for 20 years. He told me about a video on Youtube that I wouldn't believe. That Mr. Rogers had an edge, a very calm, calculated, respectful edge, one that was full of conviction. In today's reading, I came across the background and lead-up to this particular video. It adds even more d...

The story is what I love to learn about. The evolution, iterations, highs/lows, turning points, almosts, etc. Today's AMX sheds some light on Mr. Rogers' journey, as well as a suggestion that essentially changed the trajectory of his show. Keep doing what you're best at and maybe, just maybe, someone will take note. That's the game Mr. Rogers played (as well as Kevin Hart...me, too!). Looking for...
