I’m asked to do interviews every week… podcasts, blog articles, etc. For that I am grateful that others find value in my work.

Here’s one that is a bit different, and thought I’d share it with you.

WordClassPerformer.com is a site that interviews achievers in virtually every field and asks incisive questions about the individuals, what they have done and still do to be successful. Essentially, life lessons as they term them.

In this interview I really reached down deep to answer with some things that I’ve never shared before.

Hope you find some value!
