EP #83: Communicating Impact with Bill Hobson
Every action you take is a message.
I studied broadcasting because I wanted to be a media personality. Many people in my life have called me “personality” but not the type I thought I’d be. Impactmaking isn’t about what you are known for or who knows of you. It’s about taking positive actions and communicating a encouraging message in all that you do.
Bill Hobson is a real media star but he wouldn’t describe himself that like that. He’s about as humble as they come. His humility is a positive message in itself. Yet, he ads much more with the work he does. He hosts multiple shows - each with a different focus but a message of impact. Today’s conversation is all about connecting with others through through effective communication.
