  Becoming what we celebrate with Peter Katz

  Aug 14, 202629 min

  This was SUCH a fun episode. This week on Fry Your Chickens, Juno Nominated Recording artist and Hall of Fame speaker Peter Katz stopped by. We covered a lot, including: What it means to "become what we celebrate" Why putting in the time can lead to great things. And (per Darcy's request), whether someone with the last name Katz is a dog person or a cat person. Peter Katz is a Juno nominated recording artist, hall of fame speaker and someone who is giving back to the young people of the world. And he's a great interview. AND... he's the first person in the history of the podcast to perform his own version of the "One bear sized chicken or 100 chicken sized bears song".

  From the Courtroom to AI: Why Generalists Will Rule the Future (with Joe Curcillo)

  Aug 6, 202645 min

  Episode Description: In this episode of Fry Your Chickens , I'm joined by Joe Curcillo—a former civil engineer, trial lawyer of 40 years, professional keynote speaker and mentalist, and author of The Generalist Advantage . Joe explains why having a diverse background makes you a better decision-maker and why being a "generalist" is actually your greatest superpower when navigating a complex world. Joe breaks down why AI fundamentally lacks purpose and human judgment and why he isn't afraid to yell at ChatGPT when it hallucinates. (Joe and Phil will be the first two they come for when skynet goes live) Plus, Joe shares invaluable lessons from four decades in the courtroom—including the true secret to reading people. And of course he answers the ultimate question (posed this week by singing dogs): Would he rather fight 100 chicken-sized bears or one bear-sized chicken? (Spoiler alert: Joe has actual experience in this area). In this episode: Why the future belongs to generalists working alongside AI. Courtroom secrets for taking control and reading a room. Why you need to stop "waiting to speak" and start actually listening. The terrifying true story of a farm chicken named Teddy.

  Mike De Jong Saves Business Owners From Themselves

  Jul 31, 202647 min

  On this episode of Fry Your Chickens I sat down with Mike DeJong, a successful franchise owner, author, keynote speaker, pilot and a whole lot more. Mike helps franchise owners get out of their own way. We covered the big question (no not the bear / chicken one, although we did cover that too): Are you a: 1. Hunter 2. Architect 3. GSD – Get Stuff Done person? What I learned from this – I need process documentation. Map out what I’m doing to hand it off. And it doesn't have to be fancy - just do it. Other things we covered: Would Jedi mind tricks work on a bear sized chicken? The plural of moose is… moosies? Bottom Line: Even ifyou aren’t a small business owner this is great advice.

  Timeless Wit and Wisdom from Winston Churchill (aka Randy Otto)

  Jul 23, 202647 min

  How do I describe this episode: Do I say "Randy Otto is a Churchill impersonator?" No. "Randy Otto portrays Winston Churchill" No. The only way to describe it is to say "Randy Churchill IS Winston Churchill." And he's amazing. In this episode Randy talks about how he became Winston Churchill. From his father's love of Churchill to a college professor who encouraged him to meeting the great Hal Holbrook (aka Mark Twain) to a 40 plus year career. Along the way he has met and received endorsements from many of Churchill's family. And not only do we hear Randy's story we also hear advice from Winston. Finally, the ending of this podcast is not to be missed. So much great stuff. Enjoy! LINKS: https://www.nationalchurchillmuseum.org/ https://www.churchillspeaker.com/
