490: Shep Hyken - Be Amazing or Go Home

490 banner.jpg

Shep Hyken and I spent a lot of time together during the recent MagiCuba convention and he recently passed through Houston. We spent a delightful evening of dining and conversation and some of it was recorded here for this podcast. Shep has so much to say and you can find much of his content online through newsletters, podcast, tweets, online videos, and more. He is everywhere and al over social media. In this podcast, Shep talks about working at the Playboy Club when he was a teenager, then later moving from magic and trade shows to professional, keynote speaking, content marketing for magicians, and so much more. This is a gem of a podcast chock full of thoughtful material and sure to be a listener favorite.
