In this final episode of the year, my team and I have selected 2 clips from each of the top 5 episodes of 2021. I recognize that these episodes are often quite lengthy, and we’ve started pulling out some shorter clips from each episode that we’ll be releasing on our YouTube channel. You can get there real easily by going to top1.fm/youtube, and be sure to subscribe when you get there. Our goal is to have clips available from every episode over the course of the next 6 months. I should also mention that every single on of the interviews we do on this show are with #1 and top 1% level performers who are active, quota-carrying, individual contributors. With that, let’s get into this. What I’m going to do is play the 2 clips from each episode and then I’ll let you know who it was and what episode it was from. At the end, I’ll share a couple of additional ideas on digging into the show, especially if you’re a new listener. Here we go.
