I occasionally listen to the podcast "Diary of a CEO." He has had some very interesting guests, and he is a great interviewer. His questions go deep while staying honest and relatable.
I'm about three-quarters of the way through one about passive income. I wasn't going to listen to it, but I was intrigued after seeing some clips. Chris Koerner, an entrepreneur who's started all kinds of side hustles and well-established businesses, is the guest.
As I've listened to bits and pieces when I have time, I've begun to wonder why I'm listening, and then he would say something I felt I connected to. The main point he continues to make is that people have ideas, but they aren't doing enough about them. I think this way...a...lot. I am an idea person. I have a lot of follow-through on the important stuff, but when it comes to big ideas or things that feel far out there, I tend to be conservative with my time and effort. I really want to take more plunges at some of my ideas. I started thinking about this during my crazy snowy commute and am feeling inspired to get going on some new things with old ideas that have been brewing.
After reading your post, I googled Chris Koemer. Wild that he's making money re-selling Buccee's merch.

Go, Betsy!
I am always interested in hearing a new perspective. Going to put this episode on my play next list.
ReplyDeleteYour last sentence says it all for me. We need to be inspired to make our dreams a reality.

DeleteI have never heard of that podcast, but the point is interesting and worth pondering. Why don't we do more with our ideas? (Time, money, kids...)
