Episode 162: Eric Lucrezia & Profiles In Courage by John F. Kennedy

ABOUT ERIC

Eric is an MBA Admissions Consultant, 5-time author, podcast host, and keynote speaker based in Paris, France. Originally from NY, he's always loved working in education, leadership development, and anything with an international flavor. In his spare time, you can find him at the gym, painting watercolors, or playing the sax with his band. And Eric was my fraternity brother at Hofstra University.

CONVERSATION HIGHLIGHTS

• What's really achieved through the admissions process -- aside from getting into the school you desire.

• Living abroad: Spain, Australia, & France.

• "...being curious makes you want to open that next door."

• ADHD

• Empathy x Vision in Connecting people.

• Having human connection -- what it's all about.

• The power of storytelling interviews.

• Resumes vs. Conversations

• The greatness and fallibility of heroes.

• Power intoxication.

• Carrying your values through the phases of your life.

The MAIN QUESTION underlying my conversation with Eric is, What are the gems in your story? Have you even looked for them? (Pssst: They help with courage.)
