Episode 002: Chris Brogan: How To Take Over And Set Bigger Goals
After we finished recording this interview, Chris said to me, “You’re a good egg Ryan Hawk. Thank you for having me on.” I’m not sure why, but I really enjoyed getting a thoughtful, real compliment from someone like Chris. Chris has a podcast guest standard that he will only record for 20 minutes (it makes sense based on his schedule and the amount of requests he gets). When I shut it down after 21 minutes, he asked to keep going… Just a really enjoyable, fun, and educational episode. We’ll record another 20 minutes together soon…
