Today we have an episode that is NOT about project management or a topic directly related to it.
Or maybe it is. Maybe this is the most relevant episode I’ve ever published.
In an effort to bring you more content during this pandemic, I broadened my horizons and thought a bit more outside the box. And I reached out to author S.D. Smith to come onto the show to talk about life.
Life. As I like to say, “life is a project. You are the manager.”
In my conversation with Smith, we covered storytelling, what makes us cry, working on what brings you passion, courage, bravery, loss, purpose, vocation, faith, and even Jurassic Park.
So today, loosen your tie (if you wear one), sit back with your beverage of choice, forget about work for a bit, and enjoy S.D. Smith and his world of warrior rabbits.
S.D. Smith
S. D. Smith is the author of The Green Ember Series, a bestselling middle-grade adventure saga. The Green Ember has reached hundreds of thousands of readers and spent time as the number one bestselling audiobook in the world on Audible. Smith’s stories are captivating readers across the globe who are hungry for “new stories with an old soul.” Enthusiastic families can’t get enough of these tales.
Vintage adventure. Moral imagination. Classic virtue. Finally, stories we all love. Just one more chapter, please!
When he’s not writing adventurous tales of #RabbitsWithSwords in his writing shed, dubbed The Forge, Smith loves to speak to audiences about storytelling, imagination, and seeing yourself as a character in the Story.
S. D. Smith lives in West Virginia with his wife and four kids.
