His writing has been published in Time Magazine, Forbes, Vice, and CNN, among many others. The Subtle Art of Not Giving A Fuck is one of the most popular books of the 21st century, as it has been one of Amazon's top ten most read books for the past 101 weeks.

Follow-Up Friday is a new series where I follow up on the interviews from earlier in the week, give a preview of next week, talk about what I've learned, books I'm reading, answer listener questions, and more. As Tim Ferriss would say, it's just a little salt of fun before you head into your weekend. The idea here is to develop a relationship with you, the listener. On Mondays and Wednesday, I talk directly to the guests. On Fridays, it's your turn, as I talk directly to you. There will now be three episodes per week, with interviews being published early Monday and Wednesday mornings, and Follow-Up Friday being published early Friday mornings. Enjoy! To be a guest on the podcast, go here (contest expires 5/12/19): https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6529782112181108736 Follow me on...

Eric Hunley, host of the Unstructured Podcast, is forging his path in interview style podcasts. His show is followed by many other podcasters, including myself. He did over 100 interviews in less than nine months with guests from all corners of the globe, including Chris Voss (author of one of my fav books never split the difference) and Jordan Harbinger. His professionalism, detail to research, and smooth delivery as a host inspires many, again including myself, and a reliable indicator as to why not only new podcasters but also seasoned professionals are seeking his knowledge and direction. Eric’s previous experience as an instructor at the University of Arizona has built his reputation as an educator. Drawing on his many years as an athlete, marathon runner, coach and university lecturer, Eric is now mentoring new podcasters who want to get a fast start on their podcasting careers. Eric is self-taught and understands that students can absorb any skill with the right guidance. He is continuously developing the systems and frameworks required to deliver a comprehensive interview podcast and fast-tracking the guest research process. He has published three books and is currently working on his fourth book, “Interview Podcasting: Find Your Voice and Increase Your Authority."

Matt Nelson (@dogfather) dropped out of college because he effectively monetized a twitter account where he numerically objectifies dogs. The popular account *We Rate Dogs* (@dog_rates) on Twitter is followed by over 8 million people, including JK Rowling and Cole Sprouse. Each tweet of him rating a dog out of ten, often exceeding the scale with a 12/10, generates multiple hundreds of thousands of likes and retweets. His Twitter account @dog_feelings, otherwise known as Thoughts of Dog, has 2.5 million followers because, as he says, he’s “good at writing like a dog and embodying that behavior.” Like We Rate Dogs, each tweet generates multiple hundreds of thousands of likes and retweets. He has similar accounts with millions of followers on Instagram as well. His work has been featured in scores of major media publications like CNBC, Money.com, Yahoo Finance, BBC, and Entrepreneur. He makes six figures rating dogs on social media. How? Find out in my conversation with the man Time.com called the “dog king of the internet,” 22-year-old Matt Nelson. Visit Matt at WeRateDogs.com.
