OTS 300: Time Capsule - Blake Fly & Robbie Samuels On the Schmooze
-
- Careers
Back in the summer of 2015, when I first started to seriously work on this podcast, I had a goal of reaching 100 episodes. Since I didn’t really know what I was getting myself into, that felt like a big hairy audacious goal. By the time I reached episode 100 I loved this medium, but almost gave up the show and started a new one. Fortunately, I stuck with this show and today, I’m recording episode 300! To help me mark this milestone, I’ve invited my friend Blake Fly to interview me. At his core, he believes that appreciation is rocket fuel to create lifelong business relationships and he has built his career around this single idea. I interviewed him in episode 258. We always have a fun conversation, I’m really looking forward to this. Blake, thanks for joining me from your place in Toronto. Where do you want to begin?
