People First - All Else Follows

If you are into great music, the names of the people that Scott works with and just rattles off will fill your ears with delight. But this is not just a podcast about music.

I particularly reached out to Scott, because I knew his story, know what he has done, how he has been true to himself his entire life, followed his passion, and became a success on his own terms. Scott’s story is a magical tale of following your passion. Of rejecting that which doesn’t sit well with you and sticking to your dreams.

If that is not a relevant People First story, I don’t know what is.

It works. It worked.

During the podcast, Frederick references a book called Pyscho Cybernetics, by Maxwell Maltz - you can find it here.

And finally, if you want to hear Frederick's podcast where he interviewed me, well that was such a great podcast that it is now behind his paywall and only accessible with a subscription. But it is there! - at least I assume that is why it is no longer on Public Domain 😂!

We are delighted that Lee made the time to talk with Stuart, because it is clear that he is a very busy man ... and it looks like he is about to get busier.
