It took me a few months to pull the audio together for irritating reasons that aren't worth dwelling on here. But itrsquo;s now ready to play or download: Itrsquo;s a pretty large file (10 megs, 45 minute interview), so if you do the ldquo;playrdquo; option by clicking on the previous link, make sure you have some time and also a broadband connection. Dial-up folks should probably download the file first and then listen to it (right click on the link above and do ldquo;save target asrdquo; to save on most computers, or save in similar fashion). The interview was broadcast by Valley Free Radio, based out of Northampton, Massachusetts. The host was Shel Horowitz, and I appeared as part of his weekly "Principled Profits"nbsp;radio program on ethical business. In this 45 minute interview, Shel and I touch on a number of topics that are central to the themes of the book, including: - the origins of the book and the hard business lessons that went into it. - why the era of white collar outsourcing (and how to respond to it) is integral to this bookrsquo;s themes. - the dream of getting beyond the corporate grind and what it takes to break away. - the formation of my own company and how that changed my economic terms of engagement. - the key tactics outlined in the book: 1. the importance of taking a chance on your passions but also finding a market for the work you love most. 2. distinguishing between ldquo;true assetsrdquo; and ldquo;false assetsrdquo;. 3. transitioning the ldquo;employeersquo;s mindsetrdquo; to the ldquo;ownerrsquo;s mindset.rdquo; 4. why you donrsquo;t have to start your own business to change your economic fortunes, and the importance of branding yourself and not your employer. - how the outsourcing of the information worker is changing the workforce and the nature of the ldquo;corporate contract.rdquo; - how to respond to the loss of a job or to an employment shifts in your industry, and the importance of making pro-active skills changes. - whether itrsquo;s possible to be ethical in business and also achieve financial success. - why small companies may be more ethical than large ones. - how the Internet can make it easier to market-test business ideas and accelerate the ldquo;feedback loop.rdquo; nbsp;I'd like to thank Shel for having me as a guest and I hope folks enjoy the interview!
