Description
In this episode we hear from John Lee Dumas, Founder of Entrepreneurs on Fire.
John is the founder and host of Entrepreneurs ON FIRE, an award winning Podcast where he interviews today's most successful Entrepreneurs 7-days a week. JLD has grown EOFire.com into a 7-figure business with over 2000 interviews and 1.5 million monthly listens.
Some of the questions I ask John:
• What was the most important lesson you learnt from your time as a soldier in Iraq that shaped you the most?
• You spent time in law firms, real estate and a number of other industries early in your career. Eventually you took a different path to be start podcasts and be an entrepreneur. What were you really looking for that you found in podcasting and EOFire?
• What advice would you give to a middle / snr manager of a large organisation that is stuck in their career, fighting politics and can't seem to find a way forward?
• If someone, is thinking that they might like to start their own business. Can you explain what a side-hustle is and the most important principles to get it right?
• What is a final message of wisdom and hope you think is vital for the next generation of executives?
