His conversation with Rich not only touched on his fantastic resume in the gaming and later tech industry and how both of those paths led him to where he is today as CEO of Articulate Marketing. But, of course, it wouldn't be an amazing story without some toys and tech that came along for the ride.

68: Getting Wise With Stuck In My Mind Podcast's Wize
Rich recently stopped by the Stuck In My Mind Podcast and had a great conversation with Wil, aka Wize, the show's host. The conversation went so well that Rich wanted to introduce Wize and his work to the Toys & Tech of the Trade audience. Wize truly is a podcasting natural, and there was plenty of podcasting talk and advice for folks looking to get into the podcasting space, plus a bit inside baseball New York talk. Wize is a prime example of a podcasting success story, and the crazy thing is he's been in the space since 2019 but has the energy and presence of someone who has been podcasting for far longer. Thanks, as always, to the fine folks at PodMatch for putting Rich on Wize's radar.

60: Underdog Showcase: Leah Spasova
In this week's episode of Toys & Tech Of The Trade, Rich sits down with Leah Spasova, CEO of LIFESEXPERTS and Instructor and course creator at Bin Burnout and Thrive. Leah is a psychologist specializing in sex and relationships, educator, entrepreneur, animal activist, content creator, and more. This conversation covered the usual spectrum of topics the podcast is known for and tackled the struggles of being a workaholic, the burnout that comes with it, and how its impact is seldomly discussed, given the current acceptance of hustle culture. Leah shared many of her struggles and the strategies she implemented to treat workaholic tendencies. If you are someone struggling in this department, this conversation will hopefully give you some guidance and techniques to help you but if you need an extra bit of help, check out Leah's resources at www.binburnout.com. These tools are an excellent resource for fellow entrepreneurs, C-level executives, Senior Managers, and Business Leaders to help them reflect on, assess and improve their work-life balance, ending the expensive and exhausting burnout-recovery-burnout vicious cycle many experience throughout their career. The Bin Burnout and Thrive site offers a range of self-test questionnaires to help assess where a professional is in terms of burnout, workaholism, perfectionism, and their ability to balance work and personal life. Bin Burnout & Thrive also provides many resources to help individuals learn how to recover from burnout and workaholism independently. Furthermore, they invite those committed to themselves, their well-being, and long-term success to a structured course providing a step-by-step transformative journey in a supportive environment and community Leah is one of the many brilliant folks from the Underdog community we've showcased in past episodes.

Toys & Tech of the Trade continues to showcase the talented individuals from within Noah Kagan's Underdog community, and this week Rich sits down with Anna Fitzgerald. She has had a unique journey when it comes to her career. Anna is a creative life coach, but that is scratching the surface of her unique talents, including cellist, artist, songwriter, and more. Anna has a Master's Degree in Radio/TV/Film and a Bachelor's Degree in Art Education. Anna educates Rich on what a Flow Coach does and how her journey was a factor in her current career path. Her triumphs are the backbone of her story, and the self-discoveries she made along the way truly influence her approach to life and personal development.

#56: Underdog Showcase: John Hill
Thanks to Noah Kagan, the Underdog community that came together has been a huge source of inspiration for Rich. He wanted to show his appreciation to the group and its members by sharing their stories. We kick off the series with John Hill, aka John Small Mountain. John is an entrepreneur, content creator, author, and martial artist who uses his talents to help others improve their sales techniques and tactics. John advocates approaching sales with empathy and a more human touch versus the cut-throat tactics that always seem to be instilled in sales strategy. Rich and John discussed how he got started in sales, his time in the military, and a whole lot more. John not only shared plenty of actionable advice but some great resources for listeners to check out.
