The David Wood Interview

On this episode of The Introverted Iconoclast, I sat down with David Wood. David Wood left his cushy Park Avenue job 20 years ago to build the world’s largest coaching business. He became #1 on Google for “life coaching,” serving an audience of 150,000 coaches, and coaching thousands of hours across 12 countries. David coaches business owners, executives, teams, and sometimes Colorado prison inmates to produce extraordinary results through authentic, transparent communication. He was elected to the exclusive Transformational Leadership Council alongside such thought leaders as Jack Canfield, Don Miguel Ruiz, and Marianne Williamson.

On this episode of The Introverted Iconoclast, I sat down with Roman Prokopchuk. Roman is a first generation Ukrainian immigrant, foster parent, fellow podcaster, and a digital marketing expert. We had an eye-opening discussion about the foster care system and the angelic work that he and his wife have chosen to purse - giving children hope. Roman is the perfect example of someone that has taken his life experience and used to fuel and achieve success. His story is nothing less than inspirational. Enjoy!

On this episode of The Introverted Iconoclast, I sat down with my great friend Rob Lee.  Rob is the co-founder and CEO of the cybersecurity firm Dragos, which among a variety of things, has the most impactful slogan I have ever seen: “Safeguarding Civilization”.  Furthermore, it couldn’t me more accurate.  Rob and his team, simply put, protect our way of life.  From the water we drink, to the food we eat, computerized control systems are in charge of it all which in turn make those systems ideal targets for adversaries (nation-state or terroristic).  Rob is truly one of the good guys and I couldn’t be more grateful for him to be doing what he does.  Enjoy!

On this episode of The Introverted Iconoclast, I sat down with Steve Sims.  Steve looks like the perfect hybrid of a character straight out of a Guy Richie movie and a Harley Davidson TV commercial.  But underneath that surly facade, Steve harbors some deep wisdom and an unapologetic resolve that is, quite frankly, very refreshing.  I can see why people are drawn to Steve and how he has brute forced himself into the position he is in now.  It is truly impressive.  Enjoy!

On this episode of The Introverted Iconoclast, I sat down with Donnie Boivin, the original badass success champion. I gotta say, this ranks as one of my all time favorite interviews for a couple of reasons: First, Donnie and I literally didn’t even exchange an email directly before meeting for this interview but as you will hear, we got along like we have known each other for years. Secondly, he’s fucking real! No bullshit and as genuine as they come. Donnie’s wisdom runs deep and is founded on honest experience and grit - something that is sadly far too rare these days. I sincerely hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I did making it. Have fun!

Noah Healy is a professional algorithm developer and recreational mathematician (and he might just be an introvert) who has become an expert on game theory and designing marketplaces. Building on breakthroughs merging physics and mathematics in the 20th century, he has developed a patent pending system to supersede commodity markets. We talk about shifting financial systems to make production more profitable, increasing the economic potential for everyone.

Welcome to the Wisdom Sessions - free form conversations and monologues created on Wisdom, a social audio platform and app.(https://joinwisdom.audio/theintrovertediconoclast)In this episode, I explore the intriguing, albeit ominous, topic of CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies). This "centralized" digital monetary system, that promises to be an efficient and accurate replacement for fiat currencies, also introduces a slew of more insidious implications. Everything from granular tracking to programmable expiration, this fundamental shift could be a catalyst for a universal basic income (UBI) introduction and perhaps even the baseline for a social credit system akin to what we see in play in China today.And don’t get me started on the cybersecurity risks – they’ve taken “decentralized” out of the recipe potentially rendering it even more susceptible to hackers than even our current system.

After popular demand, here is my first in a several part episode series on, well, me…. I hope you enjoy.
