Wanting more of the addictive drug called Validation with Antonio Neves

My man, Antonio Neves joined me in the booth this week! He is an author, host of The Best Thing podcast, internationally recognized speaker, and a success coach. We jumped in by Antonio discussing his current relationship with food and then we dove into life path. He told me about how he traded in a comfortable corporate job at Kraft for couch surfing in NYC with a small amount of money to follow his dreams of being on television. He and I bonded over the beautiful yet addictive drug called validation. He told a great story about if a blue check mark next to your name on social media can actually verify you. We talked about vulnerability and how not everyone deserves to hear your story while I gleefully quoted Brene Brown. Then we dove into Antonio’s newest book, Stop Living Your Life on Auto-Pilot. He dropped a powerful visual on me when he said there should be 3 dates on everyone’s tombstone: the day you were born, the day you gave up, and the day that you die. WOOF! We finished up our time together talking about the always light topic of letting other people down. Needless to say, we got deep and I loved it. Thanks for joining me Antonio!!!

About the Host: 

Friends! Here's a somewhat stuffy bio of me:  

I am an author, professional speaker, coach, host, and entrepreneur. My first book, Leading Imperfectly: The value of being authentic for leaders, professionals, and human beings, is available wherever people buy books. I speak internationally to willing and unwilling attendees about authenticity, vulnerability, and leadership. My clients include American Express, General Electric (GE), Accenture, Yale University, The Ohio State University, and many others. As a speaker, I am doing the two things I loves the most: making people think and making people laugh! 

I host my own events multiple times a year. They are 2-day events called Living Imperfectly Live (and sometimes they are 1-day virtual events). They are a space where humans from every walk of life can come together to be part of a community on the pursuit of badassery. The goal is to help attendees start living the life we say we want to live.

Alas, you're here because of an idea I had a number of years ago and didn't think I was good enough to pull it off. I finally acted on it and alas Diner Talks with James was born! As you can see from what I do in my...
