In this week's edition of the AmiSights Podcast, we talk to sociologist and entrepreneur Travis Luther. After selling two successful companies—including founding the MOSO Pillow—he now teaches entrepreneurs and leaders how to transform past trauma to create a prosperous future that's all their own. He discusses his career change and his fascinating research behind his keynote, “What We Learn When We Learn We Are Dying – Life Advice From the Terminally Ill.”
“It was time for me to return to some other things I was interested in before, and do some things in the second half of my life that feel a little more aligned with who I am right now and what I thought I might accomplish,” he said. “The point of what I'm doing now is trying to get people again to realize that they have a right” to their own life.”
The main topics of today's episode will be:
Why it's best to solace a problem you personally experience when looking for a business idea.
How entrepreneurship can offer people who have experienced trauma a sense of control in their lives.
How getting stuck on the idea of having an instant solution will result in nothing ever getting done.
