074 Scott McKain: Doing Work that Matters

Joining us on the show, is Scott McKain, Hall of Fame speaker and author of some of the best business books around, including "Create Distinction" - named by thirty major newspapers as one of the “Ten Best Business Books” of the year. Scott McKain shares how unexpected, personal loss and financial devastation, forced him into a must-do professional ReLaunch! What he learned about distinction, creating value, and delivering results were the game-changers he needed. 

Three must-have business books for your library: Create Distinction, All Business is Show Business, and his most recent, 7 Tenets of Taxi Terry. 

Scott's back story >>> It happened not long after his wife left her corporate job. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and after a courageous battle, she passed. Unfortunately, since she left her job, the McKains were without medical coverage and, in the fight, completely fried what was once a healthy nest egg. Alone, and in many ways, starting over, Scott's business ReLaunch! focus, was no longer on being after dinner entertainment. He was clear that he had to do something significant that made a real difference.

Two AHA! observations Scott shares on the show

Having confidence doesn’t mean you are not scared, but means you can move forward any way.
The easiest thing to do is what you have always been doing.

Advice he would give his younger self

Do work that matters.
Don't sleepwalk through life.
