A Real World Guide on Achieving Success and Happiness

I first met my guest, CC Chapman in 2006 when he delivered a session at Podcamp Boston. I know he doesn’t remember me attending that session, but he made an impression on me.  In fact, in part, his words inspired me to begin podcasting.

What strikes me most about CC is his passion for living and experiencing life.  Through his work he inspires others to dream big, take action, and achieve success – no matter how you define it.  Most of all I enjoy his gentle push—always asking us to think about how we do more?  He follows his heart and he wants us to do that too.

C.C. Chapman is currently Chief Marketing Office at YSN.com (Your Success Now and Young & Successful Media).  This position seems to be a perfect fit for CC—he has the opportunity to work with large brands like SUBWAY to create customized events while at the same time he is encouraging entrepreneurship around the globe.

But today, the focus is on his recent book, Amazing Things Will Happen:  A Real-World Guide on Achieving Success And Happiness. This is a book that you read when you need an infusion of inspiration. This is a book that gives you the courage make a big leap. This is the book that allows you to dare to do amazing things!
