Is your personal or professional life not where it should be? While you may think that “creativity” isn’t essential to success in life, today’s guest will vehemently disagree. He’s the former CEO and now Executive Vice-Chairman of the Board of the legendary company Cirque du Soleil. Today he will share why creativity is crucial to professional and personal success and shares his own journey with Cirque du Soleil to improve in every area of his own career.
During our headline, we’ll pull the cover off of a new crypto scam. This time, celebrities allegedly endorsed a crypto coin, only to dump their own holdings after prices skyrocketed. Of course, this left investors with–reportedly–next to nothing. What can we learn from this? Joe and OG share their thoughts, which might not be what you expect. We also help answer Micah’s question about how to further his personal finance education. Doug will also share his trivia.
Enjoy!
