Let me answer a question you may be asking right out of the gate (and it just may mean airport gate) depending on where you’re listening to this episode right now.
Bio – 1:42
Been a business traveler more years than I’ve not with a heavy focus as a Road Warrior over the past decade
I’ve been primarily a North American traveler and done my share of international working for companies in Australia and Spain
My travel is mostly planes and rental cars
I grew up with a father who was a Road Warrior and gone around 35 of 52 weeks of the year so I get the good, the bad, and the ugly of business travel and especially how it affects the family
Husband of 1 / Father of 5 and live in the Chicago land area (with children of all ages!)
Avid Sports fan (especially Chicago teams)
I have an eclectic education in business, psychology, religion, and believe it or not, music
Health Nut (now) and quite a story to get me there
I’ve been 40 lbs overweight on the road from eating the best of the king’s food and drinking the best of the king’s wine
I’ve had and recovered from major health and energy issues from business travel
Most of all I’m passionate about helping Road Warriors become elite by leveraging the road to transform their work / health / and especially their home life all while on business travel and master the business travel life
Ideal Listener – 3:31
Your day job’s focus is traveling for work
There’s a term in psychology called an Egoic Label which simply means you ARE or you ARE NOT that person. For example, you’re pregnant or you’re not. You’re a father or you’re not. In this case you’re a Road Warrior or you’re not. If you travel once or twice a year, you’re not a Road Warrior
Ideal listener is also someone who could be just starting out with business travel, who strong desire to constantly improve, but often the road has just plain beaten you up and you want and need to make some changes
Topics – 4:31
Anything that affects the effectiveness of a business traveler
But specifically The Elite Road Warrior concept centers around the Six Energy Habits which we’ll get into the weeds in future episodes.
Topics we’ll frequent: productivity on the road / sleep / your health from what you eat and drink to how you move (or don’t move for that matter). We’ll talk about professional and personal development, connecting back home with those you love, and so much more.
Rhythm – 5:12
I have high variety needs so most things I do have an element of variety. As a result, this podcast will have this rhythm:
Odd Numbered Episodes – content driven from me
Even Numbered Episodes – interviews with subject matter experts and road warriors that are excelling that we can learn from their practices and habits
Length – 5:49
Well, I’ve done extensive research in this area and have determined with incredible accuracy the sweet spot for this type of podcast is exactly (drum roll please) exactly two hours.
A HUSH comes over the crowd / dramatic pause
Laughter track
I could NOT be more kidding
20-30 minutes tops is the ideal time
The only letters at the back of my name do not consist of PHD or MD but ADD and ADHD so we’ll get in and out with valuable content so no one gets hurt
Tone – 5:52
I’m a challenger / motivator / but also can be sarcastic so buyer (or in this case listener) beware
In the end, I want you to think about your Road Life and want you to walk away challenged and motivated to make the necessary changes to stop limiting the road and what it can’t do for you but learn to leverage the road and what it can give to you
Preview of Future Episodes – 7:47
