Corporate America to entrepreneurship with Kate Erickson. LF 004
Kate Erickson joins me on the Learning on Fire podcast and explores the most important learning and educational moments that shaped her life.
Our guest – Kate Erickson
Kate’s journey takes her from working in Corporate American to an entrepreneurial leap that resulted in creating a copywriting agency, that didn’t work out, then back into Corporate America. It took courage, insightfulness and the understanding that combining passions and expertise can be a winning formula.
Her decision to take another leap of faith and partner with her boyfriend on the now hugely successful Entrepreneurs on Fire as Content Creator and ‘Implementer’ has helped them become digital nomads and be able to travel the world while continuing to run their business.
If you would like to explore ways to combine your passion and experience then how about this FREE course Your Big Idea. Kate’s partner and EOFire host John Lee Dumas walks you through step-by-step to find Your Big Idea with video tutorials and timed exercises. yourbigidea.io

Choose to live your life in gratitude with Georgian Benta. LF 003
Georgian Benta from the Gratitude Podcast joins me on the Learning on Fire podcast and explores the most important learning and educational moments that shaped his life.
Our guest – Georgian Benta
Most of us have to make a conscious effort to be grateful, we need an experience or some contrasting story that we hear about to remind us that we can be grateful and that we really should be.
My goal with this project is to inspire those that find it harder to be grateful, to choose to live a life filled with gratefulness or at least to get a boost of this amazing feeling when things don’t seem to go the right way.
My vision is to inspire 100,000 people to focus on gratitude and on what makes them grateful in their life. Help me spread the word and share what you find on this blog with your friends and family, with the ones that need it most.
