TV Host Donny Deutsch on Executing Your Big Idea Learn from someone who knows about entrepreneurship first-hand, and who's done it well.

When I was broke and living on my sister's couch back in 2008, I was in love with a TV show called The Big Idea.

Do you remember it?

It was hosted by today's guest on The School of Greatness, Donny Deutsch, and it was a huge inspiration to me early on as an aspiring entrepreneur.

So when I got the chance to interview the host for the podcast, I had to take it.

I loved meeting Donny and thanking him in person for his work that inspired me (and many others) in their entrepreneurial journeys before shows like Shark Tank existed.

Donny is a hugely successful advertising executive, author, and TV personality and we dive into all the parts of his career in this interview.

I was especially fascinated by how Donny views risk, challenge, and uncertainty and how he lets those fuel him.

Whether or not you agree with him, you'll learn a lot from Donny Deutsch in Episode 326.
