I'm super excited to share the TEDx Talk I gave back in March of 2015 at TEDxHickory.  I gave this talk on motivation and leadership.  In this talk I mentioned other talks and books by Simon Sinek, who taught us to "Start With Why" and Dan Pink who explained that autonomy, mastery and purpose are what motivates creative thinkers today.  I hope you get a lot from this episode and if you want to watch the talk and see the slides used, check out the video below. https://youtu.be/w2Qaiwlu85U

I was so pumped to talk to Todd Henry. He's one of my favorite authors and speakers. He's the founder of Accidental Creative and the author of The Accidental Creative, Die Empty, and his newest book, Louder than Words. I'm such a fan of his work, I actually use The Accidental Creative as required reading for a class I teach at Winthrop University. You can order his books using the links below. Be sure to follow him on Twitter and check out his podcast, The Accidental Creative. Lastly, if you enjoyed this show and want more, please subscribe and write me a review in iTunes or Stitcher.
