Welcome to the THIRD ANNIVERSARY episode of the Curve the Cube Podcast!! My special guest on this milestone of a day is author and entrepreneur, James Oliver, Jr. of WeMontage, who wrote a book that I absolutely fell in love with and have discussing in pieces with a few of my most recent guests. His book, The More You Hustle, the Luckier You Get, provides a deluge of raw, relatable trials and triumphs that all of us shooting for a dream can find both humor and comfort in.

In this episode, James parses out the difference between being a successful entrepreneur and having a successful business, and we touch back on those concepts I discussed earlier in this series of episodes:

• Listening to that inner voice and honoring your true self
• Going out on your own takes effing hard work
• Keeping the faith
• "Don't make safe choices in life because it's convenient to do so."

James doesn’t pull any punches and was simply the PERFECT pick to sum up some of the main touch points I’ve been covering all along on this show. So….

Enjoy!!

And, thank you from the bottom of my heart for listening for these past three years; as you've heard me say on the last couple of episodes, my plan has been to flipping the name of the show from from “Curve the Cube: Where Dreamers Become Doers” to “Dreamers Become Doers: Curve the Cube and Do the Impossible.” But, after a very thoughtful conversation with my mentor, Glenn the Geek from the Horse Radio Network, there is an even BIGGER change that I now have planned for the show and hope you can all get behind. As the coincidence of good timing would have it, Glenn and I will be spending some time together this weekend. So, he’ll join me in recording a fully fleshed-out announcement and explanation of that change. So, be sure to look for that, as it could even be released ahead of the next scheduled release date for the show, which would normally be the first.

I had a chance to catch up with long-time friend of the podcast--artist and photographer, Jamaal "Visualist" Clark.

We chat about his painting, his photography, and expanding his horizons and his vision for the future!

Now, I didn't have a chance to record a Learning Curve segment for this episode. Things have been CRAZY these last couple of weeks with technical issues post-Hurricane Irma and with preparing for my International Podcast Day broadcast. But, I promise to get The Learning Curve back on track for the next episode!!

Also, I'll be starting up a new segment in a future episode where I share something cool that a former guest or one of you guys is doing in pursuing your dream. And, I'm open to suggestions for naming that segment. Drop me a line on the Dreamers Become Doers Facebook page to make your suggestion!

Enjoy!!

Starting with episode 126--out November 1st, the name of this podcast will flip from "Curve the Cube: Where Dreamers Become Doers" to "Dreamers Become Doers: Curve the Cube and Do the Impossible." There will be no need for updates on your part as a listener (and, hopefully, a subscriber). But, we want you to be aware that this big change is coming!! For details on the "why" for the change, listen back to my bonus episode from September 27th, where I chat about it with Glenn the Geek at the 25:30 mark.
