SPOS #554 - How To Be Happy, Awesome And Authentic With Neil Pasricha
Welcome to episode #554 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #554 - Host: Mitch Joel. Sometimes, in life, you get lucky. You meet someone that you have always admired, and you become fast friends. I've been with my talent bureau for over a decade (hey Speaker's Spotlight). Each year they have a holiday party for staff, speakers and friends. I always have the best of intentions to go, but I've never been. This past December, I finally went. While standing in the darkish and loud office space, Neil Pasricha came over and introduced himself. I've known about Neil for a long while. I knew him as the hugely popular #1 bestselling author of The Book Of Awesome and The Happiness Equation. I knew him as one of the most popular TED speakers in the world. I knew him, because he used to work at Walmart in their leadership development division (and Walmart was a client of Mirum). I knew him as a very popular speaker on the topic of happiness, authenticity and living a life with meaning. Still, we never had the chance to connect - one-on-one and in our protein forms. Until now. Neil is also known for his blog (that started this all) called, 1000 Awesome Things. Now, he's focused on The Institute For Global Happiness and recently gave a brand new (and awesome) TED Talk called, How do you maximize your tiny, short life? Enjoy the conversation...

SPOS #550 - The Quiet Revolution With Susan Cain
Welcome to episode #550 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #550 - Host: Mitch Joel. How do you operate in teams and groups? Do you feel like an insider or an outsider? Do you like the open-floor concept at the office? Do you have kids? Are people constantly pushing to get them to "come out of their shell"? Like to spend time alone and read? Like private time to do your work on your own? Do you think that collaboration is over-rated? Would you rather spend time alone than out at a networking event? My friend, Susan Cain, built momentum on her incredibly popular book, Quiet - The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, and a massive TED Talk, The Power Of Introverts, that has been viewed close to 16 million times. Here's the good news: You are not alone... and if you are, there's nothing wrong with that. It turns out that some of our best thinkers and innovators are introverted. Now, Susan has published a new book, Quiet Power - The Secret Strengths Of Introverts (aimed at kids and teens), and she is growing her Quiet Revolution movement. Enjoy the conversation...

SPOS #545 - Beyond The Entrepreneur Myth With Michael Gerber
Welcome to episode #545 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #545 - Host: Mitch Joel. Very few business thinkers have influenced me as much as Michael Gerber. His best-selling book, The E-Myth, made me rethink everything (from a business and a motivational perspective). It also came at the perfect time... just as Twist Image (now Mirum) was starting to take shape. Originally published in 1995, and now available in fifteen languages, The E-Myth Revisited has become the indispensable handbook for millions of small business owners, franchisors, and entrepreneurs alike. Recently, Gerber continued publishing books like The Dreaming Room (a book that helps entrepreneurs practice a new approach to creative and strategic thinking) then Awakening The Entrepreneur Within and now, Beyond The E-Myth. This is his simple (hard to do) eight-styes process to help entrepreneurs move to a place of working "on" the business instead of "in" it. It's a phenomenal read and Gerber's insights on business success will surprise you. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 49:32. Hello from beautiful Montreal. Subscribe over at iTunes.
