This Episode’s Heavy-Hitters: - It took Glenn 120-130 rejections, multiple maxed-out credit cards, and an empty bank account before he raised his first round of capital for his first company. - Glenn’s been a part of multiple major market crashes; the dot-com bubble and the 2008 financial & housing crises, and got pretty good at pivoting as a result. - The Art of Excellence Podcast started out originally with the idea of focusing on success, but as Glenn developed the show concept he decided that excellence was less subjective and more valuable a topic to dissect. - It took Glenn decades and an interview for an assistant role he was hiring for to put the breadth of his success into perspective. - Glenn tries to cross domains in his show and dig to find people that are hiding behind the scenes; to help his audience learn from unexpected places and keep a strong balance of guests and subject matters.
