Matthew Kimberley is a sales training extraordinaire – sought by bigtime entrepreneurs, fortune-500s and those smart enough (and flush enough) to seek his counsel.

He later went on to create The School for Selling, and he is the cunning brains behind ..read more

Listen in as I chat with one of the smartest and nicest midlifers I’ve ever met, in the longest podcast interview I've ever conducted - a whopping 2 hrs & 32 minutes!

Ten years ago, I went through a midlife crisis. I didn't buy a Harley or get a tattoo on my neck, but I did start a blog - midlifetribe.com.  I knew my depression was rooted in a deep desire for meaning. It emanated from the question, "Why exactly am I doing this?" Once I found it (meaning), many of my troubles evaporated or become, paradoxically, meaningless. But meaning isn’t easy to acquire – at least not directly. Like happiness, it’s actually a byproduct of something else. That's what I cover in this week's episode ..read more

It seems everyone's starting a podcast these days, but as they soon discover, doing remote interviews is difficult, hampered by poor quality audio, latency, drop-outs and difficulty engaging with guests. In March this year, I discovered SquadCast, and overnight, it solved EVERYTHING. In fact, it's so good, I decided my solo show would actively welcome guests again. Now after five interviews conducted over SquadCast, I reached out to the co-founder, Zach Moreno, and asked if he'd share his story - not just on the development of their remote studio-quality podcasting platform, but his journey a ..read more
