In this episode, I get to speak with Tom Schwab.

Do you think introverts can't become public speakers? Let me introduce you to Tom Schwab. He's an engineer whose first job out of college was running nuclear power plants in the Navy. Now he's a leading voice on podcast interview marketing. Being an introvert, he'd never have thought he'd have been a top sales rep with a Fortune 100 company, Hubspots first eCommerce case study, the Founder of Interview Valet, or a public speaker. The world is changing and the digital world is empowering people in exciting new ways.

This is going to be an awesome conversation!

In this episode, I get to speak with Stuart Morris.

A neurodivergent entrepreneur, tech inventor, TEDx speaker, former award-winning professor of entrepreneurship, and the current CEO of the #1 celebrancy training business in the world, the International College of Professional Celebrants, Stuart is a dynamic force at the nexus of entrepreneurship, innovation, and celebrancy.

With impressive milestones in Stuart’s 30+ year career as an entrepreneur such as one of his start-up collaborations hitting a billion dollars on the NYSE, his work changing the financial landscape of Moldova, or instilling the fiery entrepreneurial spirit in young minds across the world teaching at the Henley Business School, Stuart’s journey has been marked by triumph and transformation.

But, the highs have been met with equally low, lows — from facing the heart-wrenching family loss, divorce, and late-life revelation of his dyslexia and autism — these challenges have fuelled his relentless pursuit of a meaningful and personalized business, a testament to the sacred brevity of life.

Whether he’s planning to defy gravity in his plane on a solo-flight across the Atlantic, revolutionizing the rites of passage, building his next venture, or parenting his three grown sons, Stuart’s life is a testament to turning adversity into art, and problems into profitable businesses.

His book One in a Million Life releases in the summer of 2024.
