101. Ask Me Anything: Brett Kaufman on Business Building & Goal Setting

After collecting your thoughtful questions over the past few months, the time has finally come for our long-awaited AMA episodes. In this, the first in a two-part series, I talk about how I go about leading my businesses, hiring and developing employees, and continue to set goals that motivate me.

You know about the art, the meditation, and the development projects. And conversations with coaches of mine, Chet Scott and Dan Sullivan, surely lead you in the right direction in terms of what my priorities and passions are. But after eclipsing the one-hundred episode mark, it’s as good a time as any to take listeners a little deeper into what makes the host of this show tick. 

An AMA takes our conversation to the next level, opening up honest two-sided communication – just like we do in interview episodes – so that we may all learn and grow from shared experiences. 

I’m excited and proud to be opening this door and hope you enjoy it or learn something new about me in the process. Please, feel free to drop new or future questions on my AMA-themed social posts or send an email to [email protected].
