The Hump Day Hoedown is the fun and fast paced part of our 20-minute (ish) show where we ask our guests several questions. Their job is to give robust but rapid responses to the questions. Sometimes I get a good surprise and get off track; but I make every effort to quickly jump back on that camel and race on to the finish.
As always I want your feedback and thoughts on questions we should add to the hoedown. One I will never ask is, “Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike…guess what day it is?” So don’t send it.
Are you ready to share a good story? Are you ready to hoedown? Want to be a Guest? I am always looking to share an inspirational story about leading self and others. All you need is passion, be willing to help others, and like to have fun in the process. If you are ready to move onward and upward, please call me at 336-288-8226 and we can explore what is possible.
Please do not send me an email. If you do not reach me, please leave me a voice mail. This is important because this is a podcast and I need to “speak” with you. -Jim
The Fast Leader Show is a weekly podcast. Each episode will be released on Wednesday morning at 4:00am eastern time. Why on Wednesdays? Because it’s hump day.
But every once in a while we will have a double hump day and release two shows on Wednesday morning. We are not announcing when will are going to have double hump Wednesdays. We are keeping them as a surprise. When you subscribe with iTunes or Stitcher you will never miss an episode.
