Tweetable Quotes
"I take that 700 page book that you will never read and digest it into two parts, less than an hour. For some very famous people, or even some oddball people you've never heard of, I kind of do that process for you in a way that makes it interesting to most people, even if they have no interest or would define history as boring."

"If you're interested in podcasting, don't try to chase audience. Find something that you really like and want to do because you're going to last 10 episodes if you're not really jazzed by podcasting. You've got to find your niche, you've got to find an audience, and you also have to find something that motivates you to keep posting this stuff."

"I wouldn't have cranked out 150 episodes if I didn't love what I do. Clearly, I have thought about other topics, yet my perspective is I've known other podcasters who've searched out other topics and they found they didn't even do as well with their second or third topic because they got so stretched thin that the whole thing fell apart after that."

Memorable Quotes"I am an initiatrix. I stand in the doorway of initiation. I carry the energy of transformation. I can't do anything that is fluffy bunny. I can't. I can try and it won't work.""If you want to truly be magical, if you want to truly tap into all of your resources, you have to do the personal growth work because the limiting beliefs keep you from your power. And if you don't clear those, then you don't get to your power and your power will always be limited.""It's not what I do. It's who I am. My mother raised me in this work. I was five years old when she started exposing me to all of these things and bringing home education cassette tapes, because I'm that old."Connect with Kelle

FullCast – https://fullcast.co/
5 Key Takeaways
1. Speak to customers regularly. Eytan tries to talk to 1-2 customers per week minimum to understand their needs and pain points. This direct feedback informs product development and business strategy.

2. Identify your "MIT" (Most Important Thing). Regularly assess where the biggest bottleneck is in your business and focus your energy there until it's resolved before moving on to the next priority.

3. Challenge your own thinking. Eytan encourages disagreement and different perspectives to refine ideas. He enters conversations with strong opinions but hopes others will "trash" them to reveal better solutions.

4. Build resilience through experience. Facing and overcoming repeated challenges builds confidence in your ability to handle future obstacles. View setbacks as opportunities to develop this critical skill.

5. Right-size your banking for cost savings. Many businesses waste money on unnecessary fees or suboptimal account structures. Regularly review your banking setup to ensure it aligns with your needs and minimizes costs.
Tweetable Quotes"I hate quitting more than I hate suffering. This is the system telling me I don't work. I'm going to crush the system, manage myself through it so I can walk away on my terms rather than simply having the system give me low marks and tell me I'm not good.""My goal wasn't to say, can you get people's eyes for 35 minutes? But rather, can I have that conversation and bring a couple of nuggets that are then something I can take to the customers? That's really where the podcast started.""The best decisions, the best ideas, they definitely don't come from me. They come from people who are in the trenches, working on stuff, and they're like, 'Hey, what about?' And all of a sudden that turns into something really novel."Connect with Eytan

5 Key Takeaways
1. Embrace your story, no matter how big or small. Whether you have a complex, messy narrative or feel your life is "vanilla," your experiences are valuable and worth sharing.

2. Focus on the transformation in your story. Move past dwelling on the "before" and highlight how you've grown, what you've learned, and who you've become.

3. Use heart math to connect with interviewees. Enter conversations with genuine openness, compassion, and a desire to listen without judgment. This creates a safe space for authentic sharing.

4. Practice telling your own story. Even if you're used to sharing others' stories, push yourself to be vulnerable and share your experiences. This builds authenticity and connection with your audience.

5. Surround yourself with people who challenge you. Seek out relationships that push you to grow, call out your potential, and refuse to let you play small. This environment fosters continuous personal and professional development.
Tweetable Quotes"I've probably interviewed 10,000 people in my career, which is pretty significant. And when I saw that on paper, when I did the math, I was like, wow, that's a lot. It's allowed me to really just be present with people and ask questions and let the interview go where it goes.""The number one rule of storytelling is who is your audience? Remember that first. Who are you trying to reach? It's about them first. It's not about your agenda, your outcomes, your beautiful interview. It's about their story and them.""I think people are actually surprised about how sharp-tongued I can be. With my clients and people in my inner circle, I will speak freely and say things you need to hear. I'm not going to stand for your mediocrity. If you're playing small, I'm going to call you out on it."Connect with April

Tweetable Quotes"I remember I approached him and I was like, 'Hey, first off, my college town, it's like, you know, there's an endangered species. It's an environmentally sensitive area. I said, no one's covering the environment. Can I cover the environment as a reporter for one of the radio shows?' He was like, 'Sure, as long as you don't cuss.'""I'm hoping that this is a way for whatever writing passion that they had or passion they had that now they could be able to pursue that, that maybe there will be some new openings. I've told people in the past too, especially like mentees that are in college that one, you know, you don't have to go into investigative journalism. But I'm bringing that up as an example that I think that's one of the genres of journalism that will be really hard for an AI to replicate.""My whole obsession for the past couple of years has been around hazardous sites. I've just become super obsessed with hazardous sites. And not just Superfund sites, but just the idea for me of how we got to this place. At one point in time, we were definitely okay with just dumping every kind of chemical into a body of water. The psyche of it just is interesting to me about...
