Ep #123 - My guest today is James Green, a filmmaker from the United Kingdom that specializes in bridging cultural gaps through his craft. James has worked with British royalty like Price Harry, fashion brands like Beulah London who clothe Princess Kate, hop-hop artist Oddisee, and recording artist Joshua Luke Smith. He also was involved along with Bishop Tony Palmer in working with Pope Francis on bridging the gap between church and culture.
James founded "Of Dust and Stars" which is a community of filmmakers, musicians and communicators. They seek to create film, music and art that builds bridges between the "sacred" and the "secular", creating modern day parables. They believe these act as moments for people that help them engage in understanding the need for media in bridging gaps between the unchurched and the gospel

Ep #120 - Norman Bell, the found of "Hell Yes Life," the host of "The Hell Yes Entrepreneur Podcast," and the author of the upcoming book, "The Hell Yes Entrepreneur," drops by the show this week for an amazing interview. Additionally, Norman is an award winning public speaker, a performer, a presentation coach, and an expert communicator who has leveraged his communication skills to help Fortune 500 companies like Microsoft, HP, and AT&T, along with PBS travel show host Rick Steves. As an actor, Norman starred in the movie, "The Machinist," along side Academy Award winner Christian Bale. He also wrote, co-produced, and starred in the popular solo show "SUBPRIME!"
Here's some backstory on Norman. When he was in high school, Norman ran for student council with the campaign slogan "Hell Yes! Vote for Norm!" and he won that election by a landslide. Over 25 years later, those words from his successful campaign slogan still rung in his ears.
In 2017, he launched "The Hell Yes Entrepreneur Podcast" where he interviews amazing, purpose-driven entrepreneurs including authors, speakers, adventurers, artists, and world changers, who are running their "Hell Yes" businesses and living their "Hell Yes" lives. Previous guests on the podcast have included millionaire podcaster John Lee Dumas, Mount Everest Climber Cathy O'Dowd, and former rock star Chris Ballew.
Earlier this year, Norman launched the communications consulting branch of his business with a mission of helping changemakers tell their story more effectively to make a greater impact.

Ep #119 - Welcome to Interview Friday on The Driven Entrepreneur Podcast. This week, I've been focused on the topic of leadership and I believe that my guest today is among the most qualified I can think of to speak on this subject. In this episode, I'm joined by Craig Womack, the former president and COO of The Sharper Image, as well as past CEO of Human Touch, (the company that makes those awesome massage chairs you always try out at The Sharper Image in the mall), and Director of Stores for The Gap during their early days.
Craig's business acumen and intuition have been shaped by his 30-plus years of experience in the C-suites of national and international organizations in both retail and manufacturing sectors.
He currently serves as Personal Historian for his company "Life is About Moments" which he founded in 2011. With this business, Craig works with clients that want to capture their life stories into biographical books. He interviews his clients and pulls out their stories while also writing, producing, and editing this content into high-quality printed memoirs.
Craig also serves as a board member for "To Celebrate Life Breast Cancer Foundation" where he is focused on providing a humane vision of organizational and volunteer support for the organization.
His wealth of experience with leadership and management helps to make this a fascinating and engaging interview. Enjoy!

Ep #118 - Chris Burns, AKA Mr. "Heart Fire," joins the show today to discuss how to become your greatest possible self. Clients hire Chris to hold them accountable so they can breakthrough their BS while he encourages them to be their best and achieve higher levels of personal and professional performance.
Chris hit rock bottom at an early age and figured out how to bounce back stronger than ever. He has since spoken on stages across the United States, and over the last 2 years, he has interviewed more than 500 inspirational role models, influencers and leaders on his weekly, 12-hour live-streamed marathon and podcast called "Becoming Your Greatest Possible Self."
In today's interview, I talk with Chris about overcoming a troubled and party-centered teenage life and finding self worth as I too went through a similar stage in my own life. Chris shares his early struggles with fitting in and the important of finding community.
Chris found it difficult to let go of the shame and guilt that came with hitting rock bottom and getting arrested, but he learned that putting his past behind him was essential to be able to step into speaking and coaching along with sharing his story. He now believes that each of us can choose to make our stories mean anything. So, if this is true, why not choose an empowering meaning for your life's story.
Later in the interview we go behind the scenes regarding his 12-hour marathon podcast. We explore why and how he sets it up this way and talk about how it got started. Chris will share a bit about what he has learned from having 9 powerful interviews a day, and how you can lead your own version of it in your community as a coach, speaker, or entrepreneur. It's a powerful interview so enjoy!
