Meet Your Host, Alan Weiss

Get to know AlanShow Notes
Are you looking where it’s easy or where you’re more likely to succeed? We content ourselves with people who can say no and can’t say yes.
We seek affection and not respect. Remember “looking for love in all the wrong places”? You won’t find love in a bar. A woman told me all the really appealing men in bars are married or gay!
If you want to catch fish, go where no one else is fishing, not where all the fishermen (and bears) are. When you try to get into the fastest lane on a crowded highway, you usually wind up in worse shape.
You won’t find high-level buyers trolling the web. Cold calling is absurd. Email is surrounded by scammers, spammers, and noise. Most claims on the internet about building a business are bogus. Most certificates and initials after your name are worthless.
This podcast is the right place because no one else is telling you this.
Search for your keys where you dropped them.
Use your iPhone to shine a light in your life.
Alan Weiss’s The Uncomfortable Truth® is a weekly broadcast from “The Rock Star of Consulting,” Alan Weiss, who holds forth with his best (and often most contrarian) ideas about society, culture, business, and personal growth. His 60+ books in 12 languages, and his travels to, and work in, 50 countries contribute to a fascinating and often belief-challenging 20 minutes that might just change your next 20 years.
