Experience

   Misfit Entrepreneur

   Jul 2016 — Present · Columbus, OH, US

   The Misfit Entreprenuer is a top-rated weekly podcast where I interview the top entrepreneurs in their fields to give you incredibly useful and unique insight into how they consistently succeed with a focus on their non-traditional methods for achieving success, their Misfit side. The show has been ranked one of Top Entrepreneur Podcasts and is downloaded over times a month and is listened to in over 160 countries.The inspiration for Misfit was my daughter, Hannah. After adopting her, I wanted to create and build a treasure trove to leave behind for her of the best, actionable advice to accelerate her success and help her live life to the fullest! I felt it would be selfish not to share it with you and the world, and now the mission has changed a little in that I tuly believe \"One great episode can change someone\'s life.\" I know this because I\'ve seen it many time after 6 years of doing this. Here is a review of the show that really nails what it\'s all about,\"The show\'s open format and Misfit 3 concept, combined with Dave\'s intuitive and engaging interview style quickly uncover each guest\'s key tools, tactics, strategies, and tricks that listeners can start using in their lives right now.\"Learn more about the show at a member of Misfit Nation by signing up for the Misfit Minute, the FREE weekly email with specific resources from the week\'s \"Misfit 3,\" and actionable tips and items from the world of Misfit Entrepreneurs.
