Life Lessons From The Original Motivation Master

Interview with best-selling author & entrepreneur, Jim Cathcart

Jim Cathcart is one of the best known and most award-winning motivational speakers in the business. He has delivered more than 3,100 presentations to audiences in every state of the US, most provinces of Canada and countries from Scotland to Singapore.

A business strategist, psychological researcher and philosopher at heart, Jim is also a down-to-earth regular guy. He has worked in warehouses, driven trucks, sold door to door and at trade shows, been a bank teller, plays guitar in night clubs and pubs, and has toured much of the world on a motorcycle.

Jim is currently writing a new book, playing rock n' roll music, and dreaming of a new Triumph Bonneville T120 motorcycle in lovely California.

To learn more about Jim you can visit his website, Cathcart.com, or follow any of his very active social media channels.

Jim has authored 18 books including Relationship Selling and the Acorn Principle. He  has one of the most viewed TED talks of all time with over 1 million views and is a member of the Sales and Marketing HOF. As a professional speaker he has been a 'Golden Gavel' and 'Cavett' award recipient.

Jim is also the former president of the National Speaker Speaker’s association, top 5 sales and customer service speakers, top 50 sales influencers in the world AND still has time to play rock and roll guitar in clubs and tour the world on a motorcycle… my favorite quote I found describing Jim is, "He’d be what Fonzie would have been if he’d gone to business school!"

We talked about human development, personality types, motivation, finding the strength to keep going through tough times, and what it took to become one of the most well-known public speakers in history. This was one of my favorite interviews to date and I took over 3 pages of notes during our hour-long conversation. So if you've ever wanted to become the best version of yourself then sit back and get ready!

Enjoy 🙂
