    I’m listening now guys…about 3/4 through. David, you are a skilled interviewer, really great. Joshua, love your passion and as David pulled out, the testimony to investing in your life. So stoked you are committed to inspiring others. And both of you, so stinkin’ honored for all the call outs to Free Agent Academy.

    • David Siteman Garland

      Kevin – So great to see you in the comments. Thanks so much for being such an inspiration yourself!

    Amazing show. I felt it was about me at times rather than @nonconformistpa:twitter . It really had little to do with me.

    Josh not only has great ideas, but he’s the kind of guy who makes things happen. It’s been fun following along for the past year.

    • David Siteman Garland

      Definitely Justin and so awesome that you inspired and taught him so much.

  • http://www.thenonconformistfamily.com Joshua Gordon

    I think all of this goes to show that success is in large part due to the influences we surround ourselves with.

    • David Siteman Garland

      Agreed.

    Thanks for sharing your story Josh! It has been great to connect with you and get to know you these past few months. Your story is definitely an inspiration to me and others. Looking forward to see where the Non-Conformist family goes in the next few years and thanks for letting me be in on the journey.

    Thanks to David for having Josh on your show.

    • David Siteman Garland

      He was a FANTASTIC guest and honor to have him.

  • Ivan Bickett

    I liked this.

    Two people that have had a TREMENDOUS impact on me starting my business, abetterwayofbusiness.com!

    David, you’ve been along for this journey since its infancy, even though you didn’t know it. You definitely fall into the “mentor-from-a-far” category. I’ve got PAGES of notes from the interviews I’ve seen here to help both me and my clients Be Remarkable!

    Josh, if it wasn’t for you challenging me to quit my day job and start my business I would still just be wallowing in self pity and hating work. Now, I’m on the verge of BEING SET FREE and CAN’T FREAKING WAIT!

    Way to rock it, guys.

      That’s fantastic, Ivan. Congrats and go get ‘em!

    David,
    Once again YOU were/are the Inspiration! You and your guests were my First Sign post where I saw/heard and I have been on a new pathway ever since. Using last night and this morning to catch up on your shows as they continue to provide me with my “Table of Contents” for my own Journey!
    Loved the discussion on “Transition” and I so believe that the Universe leads us (if we are willing and ready) to pursue the paths that are available. I so agree that finding the “knowledge” is SO important and for me has been invaluable….Keep up the Great Work!

    • David Siteman Garland

      Thanks Debbie your comments always make my day :)
