How To "XL"! - Odd Man IN! the House (003)

How To "XL"! - Odd Man IN! the House (003)

Hear this one straight from the mouth of an entrepreneur with family roots on a woodsy Kentucky mountain side. The rise and fall... and RE-RISE of Mark Combs, my first "Odd Man IN the House" 1-on-1 interview. The real story started with a "waste of time" when Mark taught himself to wield the most fearsome nerd-child of the Microsoft Office family of programs; Excel. It ended badly. But like many stories, it started again... and again... and again! ...in a most unlikely "succession of successes". DON'T WORRY! He skips the details of being three (or thirty) times smarter than me! I cut in with the newly-named optimism segment, "Never Don't Believe", and tell you about LOSING my Air Force pilot wings up in Anchorage, AK and how devastation turned back into breakthrough! We finish back with Mark though and finish with a laugh! This southern football player-turned-software developer tells tales AND teaches in this fascinating interview. Enjoy!

"Momentum"

In this "overdue" second episode, Matthew brings his unique humor to the topic of Momentum and the dashing Sir Isaac Newton! The new segment "IN Sight-Seeing" is introduced with a related topic du jour... and in the highlight of the episode, Matthew gives an optimistic and inspiring update on his high school benefactor, Mr. Pigott, his wealth, philanthropy, and likely current well-being. Don't miss it!
