I recently came across Park Howell's excellent podcast. I love how he weaves in his personal stories with the interviews of his guests. If you are involved with sales or marketing for your business definitely check out this show.

Quotes From This Episode

“I am a woman and we all know about the glass ceiling. I’m an immigrant, I have an accent, I’m brown, and I’m coming off of maternity leave. Fill in the blanks with whatever stereotypes you’d like to use and I just don’t care. I don’t buy that story. That’s not a story I choose to live, so delete and rewrite. Each of us holds a Sharpie, there’s writing on the wall, and a lot of that writing has been put there by other people. You have an eraser in one hand and a Sharpie in the other, so get to work.” —@lifewithgeeta
“The biggest shift you can make is to give yourself permission to have more and to get really, really honest with yourself about what you really want.” —@lifewithgeeta
“I try to exemplify the kind of story and the kind of action that I think everyone can live, where on a daily basis they set up their lives so that they get a chance to explore the best parts of themselves and bring those parts forward because there’s plenty of room at the top.” —@lifewithgeeta
“The biggest mistake I see people make is having this misconception that media happens to other people; people who are thinner, more beautiful, more accomplished, who have better businesses, who have their lives a little bit more together than they do. Media happens to people who have good stories. Media happens to people who are passionate about what they do, who are innovative about what they do, who basically have something that they’re offering and a way to say it that makes people say, ‘Oh cool, I want to talk about this at dinner.’ ” —@lifewithgeeta
“The biggest bane of a small business’s existence is to have to compete on price, and the cure-all for that is to learn to tell a compelling story.” —@lifewithgeeta
