GARY WALDON | Sorting Your Sh!t Out & Sharing Personal Experiences: Mere Mortals Conversation #36

from Mere Mortals Conversations · host Kyrin Down & Juan Granados

Gary Waldon is the author of the book 'Sort Your Sh!t Out' and a transformational change specialist. Coming across his CV I remarked to myself that he has been doing career hopping before it was cool. Some of his previous jobs include: topless waiter, gym instructor, bank teller, teacher, lecturer, consultant and all around entrepreneur. Quite the list of areas and he is full of wisdom from the experiences gained across them!In this conversation we start off with his book and some questions related to the self-help genre. Gary gives some great advice for learning how to introspect and take responsibility for your own problems. We then move onto the topic of sharing personal stories and experiences from one's own life (and potentially from friends/family) in a digital world. At the end I ask Gary some questions related to his career, sources of information, books and goals. As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!Timeline:0:00 - Introduction1:09 - Writing the book 'Sort Your Sh!t Out'4:45 - Figuring out your problems13:15 - Naming your 'Bob'18:49 - The difference between 'shit' and 'stuff'23:30 - Creating an alternative persona26:48 - How to decide what to share online?33:40 - Meta skills from career hopping before it was cool41:09 - Which people do you let into your life?47:56 - Referencing inside a book53:06 - Gary's Mere Mortal Moment54:20 - Books leading to implementable change57:27 - Gary's working goal and associated challenge1:00:35 - The ability to move on and adapt1:03:22 - Where to find 'Sort Your Sh!t Out'Sort Your Sh!t Out:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gary-waldon-aa000819Weblink: https://www.sortyourshitoutbook.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sysobook/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Sort-your-shit-out-112924396893518About Mere Mortals:Striving for excellence through life's lessons.
