Going Boldly, Entertainment, Information, Inspiration, & Transformation for Entrepreneurs‪!‬ Russ The BIG Guy

S2-E56 Jonathan Wright, AKA, Johnny Only is a singer-songwriter and entrepreneur from Upstate NY. He is currently known for his amazing kid’s shows that appeal to multiple generations. He was recently filmed for inclusion in an upcoming HBO special.
You may know of him connected to Baby Shark and his legal issues with Pink Fong. It seems that some thought the multimillion-dollar juggernaut, that is Pink Fong, was using a version of the song that was a little “too close” to the one John created.
Regardless of copyright battles, John is Going Boldly with multiple streams of income connected to his passions around performing, and providing education and inspiration for countless children, their parents, and grandparents too!
I am proud to call John a friend and especially proud of the work he does and the impact he has on families around the world.

how to evolve themselves and their businesses to stay relevant in the hearts and minds of the people they choose to serve. My goal was always to bring humanity back into the workplace, [and to] ensure leaders treated their employees as humans with goals, dreams, and aspirations first, and [as] employees second. My desire is to create an evolution at work.”
“My conviction going forward is to:
work with you to embrace the learning and apply it to productively transform your business.keep pushing you through your own barriers.push you to embrace that evolution is the natural state of your business.convinced you to fall deeper in love with why you and your business do what you do.show you the power of loving your clients.drive more epic thinking and epic results for you and your clients.hold you to account to be different and stand out and to blaze new trails.”

S1-E51 Don Schmincke Entrepreneurs are born with something unique.
Don believes, based on his research, that entrepreneurs are born with characteristics that cannot be taught. If this is true, is the popular movement encouraging people to take their passions and turn them into businesses a failed notion? Is entrepreneurism a result of something innate and unique or can anybody learn to be an entrepreneur?
What do you believe?
Listen to Don’s observations about learning from mistakes, ADHD, nature vs nurture, the reality of time and space and more.
Don Schmincke is an international speaker, and he advises CEOs and executive teams worldwide. His work has been recognized in national media such as The Wall Street Journal and USA Today.
Words from Don:
“When I left academia to research how leaders impact civilization, I was not prepared for the support and response I received. The journey began when entrepreneurs, CEOs, and business owners vented frustrations with the high failure-rates of management theories, experts, and programs.
Unaware of their world (I was pursuing the sciences at MIT), it was while teaching at Johns Hopkins University that the ideal laboratory emerged to explore why these failures happen and how to fix them.
I can't thank enough the anthropologists, neurologists, archaeologists, biologists, geneticists, and evolutionary psychologists whose published research and personal support gave me the needed footing to keep climbing.
Now, after working with over 7,000 CEOs, we have validated the protocols for success. Many CEOs find them "delightfully irreverent with blinding flashes beyond popular theories" and were pleased with the unexpected impact on their balance sheets. 
I simply love researching, teaching, and challenging status-quo methods. My speeches, workshops, books, and online programs fulfill me in this mission. 
I invite you to join our community. It would certainly help us continue the work; and I think you'd find it remarkably refreshing.”
