SASM 028 – How to Grow Abundance and Combat Stagnation with Charlie Gilkey

Smart and Simple Matters

Charlie Gilkey

Charlie Gilkey is the kind of guy you can throw any question at.

What's the difference between a philosopher soldier and a soldier philosopher?

Where did the phrase “what fires together, wires together” come from (and what does it mean)?

How can we get metaphysical and explain the formation of galaxies?

These are the kinds of questions Charlie is ready for and has mind-blowing answers to.

In a way, Charlie's approach, smooth speaking, and being effortlessly persuasive reminds me of Todd Tressider. Todd and I got deep in episode 013 and Charlie swims in the deep end too.

Here's just a taste of the insight Charlie offers up in this Smart and Simple Matters episode:

Experiences are really what we're looking for. Not stuff… Asking yourself, ‘Is this stuff?' means questioning what is serving you. Abundance, contentment, and happiness are tied to experiences and the quiet times you hear yourself talking about what [you] need. – Charlie Gilkey

Adding to Charlie's grooviness is his popular public speaking about taking action and the practical steps needed for big change. He has been featured at MSNBC, Seth Godin's Domino Project, The Guardian, and Lifehacker, but he's most often found at his home base, ProductiveFloushing.com.

His latest hit is the Amazon best-seller The Small Business Lifecycle and you'll get to hear him explain how we can apply the principles of business to anything.

Get ready … 'cause here comes Charlie!
