TODAY’S GUEST

Eva typically works super hard to secure guests for the podcast. We research guests, film personalized invite videos, diligently follow-up — but every so often we hit the lottery and the opportunity for Eva to interview an amazing guest falls right in our laps. In this case, we received an email introduction from Humble The Poet (guest in Episode 146) connecting us with his friend Neil Parishca.

In addition to being Humble’s friend, Neil also happens to be the New York Times bestselling author of five books, including The Book of Awesome and The Happiness Equation, which together have spent over 200 weeks on bestseller lists and have sold over 1,000,000 copies. He hosts the Apple ‘Best of 2018’ award-winning podcast 3 Books with Neil Pasricha, which features live conversations with guests such as Malcolm Gladwell, Judy Blume, David Sedaris, and Chris Anderson of TED. He gives over fifty speeches a year to audiences such as Royal Families in the Middle East, SXSW, and Shopify. Prior to his current work, Neil completed his MBA from Harvard Business School and spent a decade as Director of Leadership at Walmart.

Eva thoroughly enjoyed her conversation with Neil, and I’m sure you will too!
