Today I was joined in The Diner by Erin King, a badass with serious Big Deal Energy (tune into the episode for more about that). We kicked off the conversation talking about life in a big Irish family (we both used our best Irish accents) and Erin shared some wisdom from Nana: “You can be someone’s shot of whiskey or everyone’s cup of tea.” Okay, Nana! Erin shared about growing up at an all-girls school and what that did for her confidence and her love of being a woman, and how her experiences (and hearing experiences from other women) played into her new book that’s coming out. She explained the concept of “Big Deal Energy” (BDE), a prevalent theme in her book, which blends confidence with the audacity to do big things. We heard about her experience pitching to venture capitalists, her business failures and successes, and the idea of borrowing BDE from others to accomplish big things yourself. We rounded out the conversation with Erin encouraging us all to believe that our story is big enough to impact others and to believe in the power of telling it. This conversation was so dope, you’re not going to want to miss it.

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 love 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 in 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 professional life, Diner Talks is aligned with everything I believe in and teach. If this wasn't dry enough, and you would like to know more info about my speaking, events, or coaching feel free to check out my website: JamesTRobo.com.
