Antique or Junk with Duane Scott Cerny

Did you know there's a difference between Collectable and Collectible? I didn't either, until I started putting this episode together.
My guest today is Duane Scott Cerny, Founder and Co-owner of the Broadway Antique Market, the oldest antique shop in all of Chicago. He is also the author of several books which have spent time as #1 on the best seller list, and here to speak about selling dead peoples things... also known as antique dealing.
I want to celebrate for a moment because this show has not only been on the Podbean Featured podcast roster for over a month, but I've also been the number one slot on their education page above such other widely popular shows for about a week!

Gamification with Yu-Kai Chow

How much would your life change if you could see a status window for your real body? If you could actually watch fast food decrease your overall health, or if reading a book gave you a physical confirmation that you are smarter. That's "gamification" in action.My guest today is Yu-kai Chow, a man who many credit with the creation of gamification as we understand it today. He owns businesses, has written novels, speaks publicly, and advises privately on all aspects of gamification and how it can be applied beneficially in almost any field. This was an extraordinary opportunity to talk to someone who literally created a new field of study in the world.
A huge shout out to all of the new and existing listeners. The growth I've been seeing has been so amazing that it's hard to believe. Downloads of this show have nearly tripled in just one month! That wouldn't be possible without people like each of you taking the time to listen to the things I do and people I talk to on here.
Also the newest episode of the Iconoblast Podcast, #85 Megalodons and Dinosaur Poop, just came out today and I'm the guest star on that. Coop and Joel are great guys and the show is super funny, albeit much more crude than this if that bothers you. I think people should watch it on YouTube, but you could also listen everywhere podcasts are.

Public Relations with Dick Grove

Did you listen last week to hear how you could write your own story and get it read? But what if you don't have a natural talent for writing or storytelling? Perhaps your best bet to garner attention for your creative endeavor, business, or startup isthrough PR.My guest today is Dick Grove, Chairman and CEO of Ink Public Relations. Dick brings over 50 years of PR experience, making him one of the most experienced guests to appear on the show. He was also on the team responsible for one of the greatest marketing pivots in all of history when Coca-cola had to backpedal away from "New Coke" back to "Coke Classic".We were both going through some unfortunate weather which made our connection through video suffer somewhat, apologies for that.
But for now, Let's earn our place in the news.

It's the first time I've got three people talking on the show instead of two and took some effort to keep us all together. This episode has an explicit tag for a reason, things get a tad intense.
