A friend of mine inspired me to do this episode. We were having coffee and I rattled off a few names of folks that I read or listen to and he hadn’t heard of a few of the names. He encouraged me to share my influences so that others could learn from their wisdom.
The point of the exercise is to hopefully enable you to discover new people to follow and learn from. So I’m not going to mention the countless individuals in my personal life who teach me the most. If I did, my dad would be at the top of this list. There are many others who don't actively share their knowledge through media and prefer more private lives. Systems Thinking Tyler Cowen, Dan Carlin, and Nassim Taleb Business Ben Thompson, Gary Vaynerchuk, Warren Buffett, and Scott Galloway Culture & Vision Venkatesh Rao & Taylor Pearson Productivity David Allen & Tiago Forte Health & the Natural World Adam Haritan Learning and Reading Mike Dariano Finance Barry Ritholtz, Josh Brown, Ben Carlson, and Michael Batnick. I am also constantly on the hunt for more people from whom I can learn. Who are some of your biggest influences?

As a performer, all I’ve wanted to do was give back to the world. But now I have an even greater gift to give: a story to tell.” Amy grew up believing that her entire life would be dedicated to the performing arts. Now, she identifies as a survivor and “thriver” of sexual abuse, 27 surgeries, coma, organ failure, and the PTSD that comes from ten years of trauma – or what she now calls her “beautiful detour.” At 18, years old, a blood clot caused Amy’s body to go into septic shock. She was in a coma for six months, and after a total gastrectomy, was unable to eat or drink a drop of water for six of the past ten years. After 27 surgeries, she was miraculously reconnected with the intestines she had left. To persevere through those tumultuous years took great inner and outer strength. She has learned that the human spirit feeds off of hope, and hope is fuel we can cultivate ourselves. Ultimately, she learned that with resourcefulness, creativity, and unwavering curiosity, we can transform any adversity into personal growth and a resilience that is uniquely ours. http://www.goingdeepwithaaron.com/podcast Connect with Amy Website If you liked this interview, check out episode 184 with the Drinking Partners Ed Bailer and Day Bracey, where we discuss comedy and the business of comedy. 
Grant Oliphant is president of The Heinz Endowments. For nearly two decades, Grant held several senior management posts with Heinz family foundations, including vice president for programs and planning at the Endowments, his position before taking over the helm at The Pittsburgh Foundation in 2008. He also served as press secretary to the late U.S. Sen. John Heinz from 1988 until the senator’s death in 1991.
If there’s a major project happening in Pittsburgh, chances are that Oliphant is pulling the strings. His six-year tenure atop The Pittsburgh Foundation saw that organization increase its assets by a third in the middle of a recession; even more impressively, that foundation oversaw the recruiting and hiring of Mayor Bill Peduto’s senior staff through its Talent City initiative. Oliphant quickly has made his presence known at Heinz, which shortly after his arrival in May 2014 jettisoned a controversial connection to the Center for Sustainable Shale Development. Since then, he’s overseen the P4 Conference on urbanism in April, became the primary force in development of the 178-acre Almono site in Hazelwood, brokered the sale of the August Wilson Center for African American Culture to Heinz and other foundations and forged close ties to the Peduto administration. Grant’s Challenge; Work to move your worldview from “me” to “we”.

Born and raised in Cleveland, OH, Ed Bailey’s family noticed his quick wit early on in life. While that wit sometimes landed him in trouble, it often was the source of great entertainment for those who bore witness. After high school, the University of Pittsburgh brought him to Pittsburgh, PA where he would make a name for himself as a comedian. During his brief career as a comedian, Ed has been able to capture the attention of some of the most recognizable figures in comedy such as Eddie Griffin and Hannibal Burress which is a testament to his ability to relate to anyone while on stage. His talents have also landed him a successful podcast that he co-hosts with comedian Day Bracey called Drinking Partners on the Epicast Network. A polygamist, simultaneously married to bacon and booze, Day Bracey once led a mostly private life, in fear of persecution from a conservative right winged christian society who wouldn’t understand his inability to choose between two loves. Armed with his sword of common sense and shield of free thought, Day Bracey now roams the Earth, striking down ignorance and BS wherever they may rear their ugly heads. A guerrilla against a well established army of stupidity, his methods of attack have been described as surprising and borderline radical, but precise and well planned. Also, he tells poop jokes. Ed’s Challenge; Go support a local artist. Day’s Challenge; Read a history book day. http://www.goingdeepwithaaron.com/podcast Connect with Day Website Connect with Ed Listen to the Drinking Partners Podcast Website If you liked this interview, check out episode 123 with Tucker Max where we discuss writing NYT bestsellers and writing your own book. |
