ABOUT OUR GUEST
Chris Fedruk Long is a former self-help devotee who spent years trying to figure out why people do what they do. Over the last 20 years as an analyst, an independent consultant, and now a manager of analysts, she has learned to focus less on the "why" and more on the "how" to get better results from her team (and herself). She works as an implementation & delivery director at a global research, technology, and consulting company in Chicago, Illinois.
IN THIS EPISODE
We discuss a behavioral framework that is incredibly effective in improving communication skills, which are essential whether you’re a manager, leader, or entrepreneur.

ABOUT THE GUEST
He's part magician, part musician, and 100% badass. For the past 20 years he's been training in Wing Chun Kung Fu at the exclusion of almost everything else. His dedication to the art has paid off with a deep understanding of the mysteries of combat (the secret is that there are no secrets; you just have to train). He's a skeptic, but by no means a cynic.
ABOUT THE EPISODE
We chat about leveraging the power of the internet to live anywhere you want and still make a living through teaching. He discusses tech solutions he's tried previously, the path that's led him to where he is now, and what's working for him currently.
If you've wondered how to use the internet to free yourself up from the desk, this is the episode for you.
