Hello again;
Today I’m sharing yet another of my podcast interviews.
This time it was with Alex Sanfilippo host of the Creating a Brand Podcast.
I met Alex while speaking at Pod Fest back in March. We were both speaking in what they call the peach Kulcha format.
It’s always been my practice to stay around after my talks and interact with the other speakers and attendees.
That day I would certainly be blessed for being generous with my time and energy.
Because it seems I made a real impression in Alex and he was waiting for the opportunity to meet me. He tracked me down as I was leaving the event.
He gave me his card, and I told him how to find me online. I didn’t have any cards at that time.
We would connect up after I got home.
He would invite me on the first season of his podcast.
And he would extend a complimentary membership in his new paid community also called Creating a Brand.
At Pod Fest I spoke about how I had been raised from a young age not to be afraid to ask for help or ask for opportunities.
I shared my favorite quote in this area.
When you refuse to ask for help, you rob the other person of the joy they would have received from helping you.
We expanded upon this in our conversation.
We talked about how to ask for help and reasons people don’t do it more often.
We discussed how embracing interdependence is vital to business success.
And we talked about showing proper gratitude both in words and deeds.
And finally we talked about asking from the point of view of the expert discussing how to know when it’s good to say yes.
I thoroughly enjoyed my talk with Alex.
You can listen to our talk below.

As I often say the best form of gratitude is to send a host new traffic.
One of my responsibilities as a guest is to help put faces behind the screens. 🙂
So please share this interview with your friends, family, co-workers, etc.
Learning how to ask for help and accept it when offered are critical to your success.
And considering that Alex had the guts to reach out to me in a public place and tell me how much he appreciated my talk, then I really want to help him as much as I can.
He has just started the second season of the podcast, and I encourage you to subscribe to it on apple or any of the other podcast players.
I do appreciate and depend on your continued support.
Until next time thanks and take care out there, Max
