Technology Guru Chad Barr Intreviews Million Dollar Consulting Guru Alan Weiss (podcast)
This week, I had the great opportunity of interviewing Dr. Alan Weiss. Also known as The Rock Star of Consulting, The Contrarian and The Consultants’ Consultant among other impressive brands. Alan is truly an amazing person who leads a life of great success and inspiration to many of us.
I met him about six years ago and have worked closely with him ever since. His impact on my business and my life has been absolutely remarkable. Several years ago I approached Alan with the idea of implementing and building an online community to attract his followers and allow them to better stay connected with him and each other. The result was Alan’s Forums, a unique and special type of online community attracting the best of global consulting minds. I’ve been also fortunate to work with him on many other exciting projects both on the receiving and giving end including the development and implementation of his terrific blog www.ContrarianConsulting.com.
During the podcast interview we discussed many questions such as:
What are the three most common mistakes consultants make?
What do the most successful ones do?
How to stand out in the crowd?
How do you keep reinventing yourself and increasing your creative output?
How to leverage Requests for Proposals?
What kind of role does serendipity play with strategy?
What should we do differently or more of in times of a recession?
What are the five secrets of living a fulfilling life?
And we even discussed the topic of retirement and living and leaving his legacy.
I know you will enjoy this podcast, will find it fascinating and Thank You! Alan.
