The Kevin Miller Podcast

Matthew Del Negro is a celebrated actor credited for roles in some of TV's most-renowned and award-winning shows such as SOPRANOS, SCANDAL, Goliath & WEST WING, and films HOT PURSUIT and WIND RIVER. He appears in all three seasons of Showtime's City on a Hill opposite Kevin Bacon as Detective Caysen. In this episode with me he referenced talking with Kevin Bacon on set the day before, and I was admittedly honored he chose to spend time with me, a little bit lesser known Kevin. I had him on the show of course to talk about what drives him. Matt said being a professional actor is a career of being told no for a living, and three years ago he decided to give voice to this journey of overcoming rejection by starting a podcast called 10,000 NOs. From the success of that podcast he was offered a book deal and his book is also titled, 10,000 NOs. That’s why he’s here. I was intrigued by his personal story of starting out as the peacekeeper in his family, being shattered by a breakup with his girlfriend and finally finding himself and taking up acting later in life. What were his motives? What drove him, good and bad? As you’ll hear, we really resonated as we got to the heart of...motives and drive. You can find Matt's book 10,000 NOs on Amazon and find him on any podcast player at 10,000 NOs and you can see him in City on a Hill, on Showtime.

I bring you Silicon Valley legend and all around wise guy, Guy Kawasaki. I’ve read Guys books, had him on my shows twice before, hung out with him face to face in San Diego and I think our relationship was solidified after he butt dialed my cell phone one afternoon and we talked a while about him starting a podcast, which he did...called Guy Kawasaki’s Remarkable People which has now become a top ranked podcast. Guy was the original Chief Evangelist of Apple and has many stories about him with Steve Jobs and the early foundations of Apple. Today he’s an evangelist for Canva and Mercedes but much more than that just a big influence and all around fun guy. I brought back to talk about his early and current drives, both personally and professionally. Honestly, this is just a fun romp through Guy admitting he never had huge visions, but he did have clear motives and he went forth and accomplished them. As you'll hear some of his early motives included simply avoiding robbery and getting a nice car. This will be a good showcase that you don’t need giant killing, uber altruistic goals to get you driven and achieving great things. You just need clear goals you have faith in. You can connect with Guy Kawasaki...everywhere, he’s a social media giant. His website is guykawasaki.com and I really encourage you to check out his podcast, Guy Kawasaki’s Remarkable People.You can watch this full episode on YouTube - just search for “What Drives You with Kevin Miller”What Drives You is brought to you by Ziglar, your premier source for equipping Life and Leadership coaches.

Everything in our lives is speeding up. Technology and artificial intelligence and deliveries and...boom. We can fill every second with something new and interesting and the marketplace is focused on delivering us instantaneous gratification in any way possible. Compared to our grandparents and especially great-grandparents, the speed and convenience of life and survival is supersonic. We can do in one hour, maybe even 20 minutes, what it took them all day to achieve. So how is it working for us? Are we awash in free time and leisure? Are we happier and healthier and more at peace than ever? Exuding so much joy as a result of all the privilege we have? You know the answer. We as a culture are sicker, sadder, and more anxious than ever. But the speed and convenience is not bad, only our management of it. I can have a burger for a dollar in a minute at a drive-through, or have one that costs $10 and an hour over my grill. Which will serve me better? Dr Randy James and I talk through this issue, not with certainty, but with grappling.You can watch this full episode on YouTube - just search for “What Drives You with Kevin Miller”What Drives You is brought to you by Ziglar, your premier source for equipping Life and Leadership coaches.

I ask, What Drives Christmas, and give Ideas On How To Actually Enjoy The Holiday Season & Fuel Your New Year. Sometimes we have an extraordinary experience from a spontaneous event. But for the most part the epic and fulfilling moments in our lives come from intentionality. While there is often much planning around the time from Thanksgiving to Christmas and the holiday season overall, there is seldom intentionality and it feels like every year finds more and more people performing a tradition of obligation more than celebrating a time of actual joy. The season is rife with expectations and “shoulds” and it can often leave you wondering if anyone actually enjoyed it. I surely won’t be so arrogant as to offer a die hard solution. But I’ll offer some ideas and insights that have worked for me and others. And sometimes it helps to simply get honest about what is driving you, even if you don’t decide to change a thing. I’m going to follow along my seven key areas of life, with an addition, and what tends to drive us during the holidays, and help reveal what drives you, so you can course correct the circumstances and/or your mind. You can make this a quick and simple exercise to write down or simply consider what is driving you, or what you want to be driving you…and why.Go to Zocdoc.com/KEVIN and download the Zocdoc app for FREE.
