I spent 13 years as a business consultant working in large corporates in Europe and Asia Pacific, as well as small companies across New Zealand.

I bring the lessons I learned to the journey of being an author, and it's fantastic to meet people who also come from business. In today's interview with Charlie Gilkey, we discuss business strategy to aspects of the creative life. 

Highlights of the conversation include:

    Charlie's background as a logistics coordinator in the US Army, as well as studying for a PhD in Philosophy, and now a business strategist running his own company online.
    Logistics is the art and science of getting people and stuff from here to there. How this relates to the business world and how creatives can learn from this experience.
    A philosophical way of looking at the world, and defining who we are, as well as our goals
    Eliminate before you delegate, and tips for outsourcing so you can focus on the important stuff. Plus how you can work out what the important stuff is!
    Aspects of strategy for business
