Interview: Musician/Entrepreneur Danny Casler

Danny takes a few minutes to tell us about his experiences as the singer for the band National Product and his experiences in other entrepreneurial endeavors.  He also shares one of the books that influenced him as a child and “planted a seed” for the way he has approached life.  We also take a few minutes going down a rabbit hole talking about the dwindling cultural heritage of where we grew up – O’ahu.

Book that influenced Danny: Oh, The Places You’ll Go! by Dr. Seuss.

Principle from Oh, The Places You’ll Go! that affected Danny: Your opportunities are unlimited.

Impact of that principle: Planted a seed for Danny as a kid, enabling him to feel he could do anything and go anywhere – and Danny has!

Interview: Scott Rawlings from Fullgive

This is the first interview for Marc My Words.  I’ve been thinking a lot about interviewing people who have done significant things in their lives and highlighting key principles they’ve gleaned from books that have impacted their decisions.

So today that idea has finally become a reality.  I interviewed Scott Rawlings, owner of Fullgive leather.  We talked about his recent success crowdfunding over $13k, a favorite book of his called Success is a Journey by Brian Tracy, the principle of perseverance, and how all of that has impacted him.

Book that influenced Scott: Success is a Journey by Ryan Tracy.

Principle from Banker To The Poor that affected Scott: Perseverance.

Impact of that principle: Learned success is dependent on never giving up, with his small business.
