Blair Enns

Okay guys, today we have Blair Enns of Win Without Pitching.   First off, if you wondered what the heck happened to me, sorry for the long hiatus. I'm happy to report that as of today, including this show we have seven episodes in the can as they say, and three more scheduled. So it's not so much that I haven't been working on the show, and I haven't been finishing any episodes... sorry about that.   So this seemed like a great time to declare, welcome to season four of Obsessed Show. This season we'll still be chatting with designers from branding, illustration, architecture, and design thinking... but we'll also be talking to other makers and creatives along the way. In fact, when we started this show, the plan all along was to broaden out our guests eventually, which was in part why our website, twitter, and instagram are all obsessedshow...    ANNNND... if you'd like to hear more about my personal story, episodes 11 &amp; 12 of the know indy show feature yours truly... I actually recorded that about a year ago, so it's kind of a walk down memory lane for me to hear what I was thinking on a year ago. And I describe my favorite way to cook the perfect steak.    And lastly, if you're into what I'm doing here, you might also want to check out my personal branding and marketing tips called, :59 Second Friday - that's at youtube.com/joshmiles

As I say goodbye to my time at MilesHerndon and embark on a new adventure, it's fun to think back to how it all began. It’s always been easier for me to see ten years down the road than to know for sure what’s next.  This is the story of where it all began. You can also find the print version on Medium.
