By the end of day, Anne Janzer might be my favorite person in the world. And yours.Why?Because she wants to talk about servant authorship, cognitive science, the power of subscription and relationships…all WITHOUT the jargon!In case, you didn’t realize…that headline was a red herring!Plus, she’s super enthusiastic to come on the show which makes me happy.It’s a geek thing, I guess.And the feeling is mutual!

This week I turned to 5 of my previous 204 guests, who all share a very specific theme in common: health and fitness.There’s guest #1 on CoronaTV, Sharon Jaffe (also my sister), who owns a spinning studio in London, Iron Man and Peloton machine, Peter Shankman, Spartan Warrior, Justin Levy, Ultra Virtual Marathoner, David Rendall and the Norse Titan, Lee Odden.Each of my 5 guests will introduce the topic of their choice (which may or may not be about health, fitness or wellness) and then collectively, we’ll discuss over egg-timed 5 minutes. I don’t know the topics in advance; nor do I necessarily want to know them.Plus I’ll show you the best of the week that was in the form of my 1-minute CoronaByte highlights. This week you’ll hear from Karen Freberg, Michael Farmer, George Tannenbaum and David Burkus. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Words matter.And when you’re a master of words like George Tannenbaum, it is a skill that is timeless and in fact, ageless.George is Chief George Officer of GeorgeCo., where he runs the world’s largest one-person agency, but before that he was the former copy chief and ECD on IBM at Ogilvy. And here’s the bridge between the jump from corporate exec to solo entrepreneur:I was kicked out of Ogilvy at the age of 62 in January, 2020. But really I didn't leave Ogilvy. Ogilvy left me.Today on CoronaTV, we discussed this transition, the state of advertising, talent and whatever the hell George wanted to talk about.After all, he IS Chief George Officer.

No, SSFF does not stand for “Stop Skeletons From Fighting” – it stands for Survival Skills for Freelancers and today, I’ll have the author of the book in the CoronaTV studio.Sarah Townsend is the author of the aforementioned book and she’s “all in” when it comes to freelance life, success, wellbeing and mental health.I’m intrigued to discuss her take on how Covid has impacted the freelancer. Has it just been a continuation of the same? Is it better or worse? Moreover, what skills are needed to “survive and thrive?” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
