Episode 206 - Celebrate What's Right With The World With Dewitt Jones

Back around 2007 or thereabouts, one of my customers asked me to be one of several keynote speakers at a big annual sales event they were holding. Thankfully, it worked with my schedule, because Dewitt Jones was also keynoting the event—and I got to hear him speak. I didn't know Dewitt, but it turned out that I knew his work. Boy, did I know his work. Dewitt photographed for National Geographic for 20 years. He shot some of my favorite stories, and as I listened to his presentation, I was captivated by his message: That the world is filled with possibility, and that we should go out of our way to celebrate what's right with the world, rather than wallow in what's wrong with it. Not long ago, I asked Dewitt if he would join me on the program, and he graciously accepted. We hopped on a Zoom call, I, in my office in snowy Vermont, Dewitt at his home on the Hawaiian Island of Molokai. His windows were open, the birds were singing, and for about two hours, we just talked. This is our conversation. Dewitt's wisdom is a gift to us all. Please, really, really listen to what he has to say. And if you're looking for a speaker for an event, look no farther: this is your guy. Check him out at DewittJones.com.
