Thank You To Our Partners The Institute, AutoFlow, AutoLeap, Shop Dog Marketing, In-Bound: In our episode this week - roles are reversed! Our host Craig O’Neill allows himself to be interviewed by a friend of the show - Evan Wisner. This is one of those conversations you can turn on - laugh, and learn with. The reason for this role reversal? Evan had suggested it would be good for our listeners to get a chance to hear more about the journey which led Craig to develop a passion for focusing on communication and dive into what Craig sees as his goals with the podcast. Evan asked many questions which drew out meaningful discussion on topics including: Craig’s Early experiences in the industry What it’s like to grow up within the industry and it’s stigmas The effect a good ‘ambassador’ can have on others perspective of the industry Formative feedback that promoted early interest in communication skills Perspective on technology in communication pros/cons Craig’s mentors and the most important advice he’s received Early obstacles to improving communication and mindset Developing the ability to choose not to take offense to things Toastmasters then vs now. The joy of observing others improve their skills A reminder that it’s about progress, not perfection. Loyal listeners will find plenty of inspiration in this episode and emerge feeling great about the talent in our industry, and the value of friendships and relationships developed around mutual purpose. Those who have become familiar with Evan will appreciate the back and forth conversation that flows through many very thoughtful questions.
