The Crazy Driven Podcast

This Month on The Crazy Good Life PodcastWhat happens when the world's leading customer experience expert turns that same lens inward? David Avrin has spent his career teaching businesses how to remove friction for their customers, but friction shows up in our personal lives too. The relationships we overcomplicate. The boundaries we fail to set. The way we make it unnecessarily hard for the people we love to love us back. In this episode, Heather sits down with David Avrin, bestselling author of Ridiculously Easy to Do Business With, global keynote speaker, and a guy who has logged two million miles and visited 28 countries figuring out what makes people stay and what makes them walk away. Together they explore what "ridiculously easy" looks like beyond business: in friendships, in family, in the daily choices that either build a Crazy Good Life or quietly erode one. If you have ever wondered why people pull away, or why you do, this conversation will change how you think about the friction hiding in plain sight.
