I don’t want to assume that everyone listening to this
podcast is an introvert, but I’m probably safe in guessing that most of you
are. And if you are an introvert, you know something about feeling on the edges
of things. Of not being understood, of feeling out of step with the people
around you, or even sometimes feeling like you wish you weren’t an introvert.
Matt Curry understands this idea of feeling like he's on the edge of things, but with a twist: He's has a condition known as Attention Deficit Disorder, or ADD. And he's found a way to leverage what others often view as a liability.
Matt is a serial entrepreneur and WSJ Best Selling author of "The ADD Entrepreneur." He built Curry’s Auto Service into a 10-location chain, servicing almost 5,000 cars per month, and was voted the “Top Shop” in North America as voted by MotorAge Magazine, as well as earned recognition as an INC 5000 for Fastest Growing Companies for three consecutive years. Matt is Founder of The Hybrid Shop, a company dedicated to training the automotive aftermarket in hybrid and electric vehicle technology.

Our world is both hyperconnected and disconnected at the same time.
How do we make sure we are emphasizing quality connections, instead of
just having surface interactions? Erica Dhawan has dedicated herself to
researching innovation and how it depends on the connection between
people, ideas and things.
She is the co-author, along with Saj-Nicole Joni of the newly released book, Get Big Things Done: The Power of Connectional Intelligence. Adam Grant, Wharton professor and New York Times bestselling author of Give and Take, has said about the book: “Get Big Things Done is a passionate look at a new wave of leaders. It’s full of inspiring stories about imaginative ways to forge meaningful connections and achieve audacious goals.”
Erica Dhawan is a globally recognized leadership expert and keynote speaker driving innovation across generations and cultures to prepare the global workplace for tomorrow. As one of the today's most provocative business thinkers, she is CEO of Cotential and has spoken, worldwide, including at the World Economic Forum at Davos. She writes for Forbes, HBR and Fast Company. She has degrees from Harvard, MIT and Wharton.

of the interview for a special free offer from Erica that will help you
learn more about your own connectional intelligence!

There are few people who would see the terms "introverts" and "happy hour" and think they would be like two peas in a pod. Yet my guest, Kristen Brown, challenges that assumption and gives us a new perspective on happy hour. It's not about the event itself; it's about the energy it can generate. Kristen and I chat about "The Happy Hour Effect," commitments entrepreneurs make that separate a business from a hobby, and the power of our personal story.
At the end of my interview, I share a few thoughts that members of The Introvert Entrepreneur Facebook community have about happy hours.
Kristen is a bestselling author, keynote speaker and corporate trainer. She’s a two-time bestselling author, widow mom and 15-year corporate America veteran. Her books are “The Happy Hour Effect: 12 Secrets to Minimize Stress and Maximize Life” and “The Best Worst Thing.”
