My guest for Episode #45 is Eric M. Twiggs, the host of the podcast called The 30 Minute Hour. I was his guest in this episode last month, so please take a listen. I've really enjoyed both conversations with him!

Eric is the author of The Discipline of Now: 12 Practical Principles to Overcome Procrastination. Visit the show notes page to enter to win a copy! In today's episode, Eric tells a story about leaving a company to take a new job as a district manager at a video store company. On the very first day of the new job, Eric thought he had made a huge mistake. He didn't quit, because that would have been admitting a mistake… was that a mistake? He stuck with it and ended up learning so much from that challenging role that he calls a “favorite mistake” now.
We also talk about situational leadership, finding your purpose, and the patterns that cause us to procrastinate — and what we can do about it.
