191: “The Development Series”: A Conversation with The Addicted Lawyer, Brian Cuban (The Conversation that led to developing The 20% Podcast)
Listening to Masterclass this week, I found myself reflecting on where my journey of consistently creating content started. It was April 4th, 2020, not even 1 month into the world being flipped upside down. I was scrolling on LinkedIn and saw a video that Brian Cuban shared talking about the lessons his brother taught him from selling papers as a kid. Seeing that video drove me to connect with Brian, and led to us sending messages back/forth Then, I asked: “I had a question if you don’t mind. I see you took one of your hardships in life and wrote a book. As I am in my first corporate job out of college selling hardware and software, what is the best piece of advice you have on career advancement, and how you know when you are doing the thing you were destined to do?” Brian offered to jump on a call with me to talk through these, so we jumped on a Zoom early on a Saturday morning, and Brian agreed to record. That conversation with Brian unlocked my passion for interviewing others, and sharing their career stories and lessons that others can learn from and implement in their own life I turned this first interview into “The Development Series,” which was the catalyst for The 20% Podcast and has led to 191 straight weeks of sharing weekly episodes doing just that.This one step in doing something uncomfortable opened so many doors for me, and all it took was sending a message. Thank you Brian, for taking an hour out of your day to talk with me, it really did change my life. Brian Cuban is this week’s guest on The 20% Podcast.
