A Friday morning coffee with my friend, Michael Port, turned into a quick commute to Toronto Pearson International airport so he could re-book a missed flight.
While he drove me in my car to the airport, I pulled out my video camera so I could capture Michael’s thoughts on his newest book, The Think Big Manifesto. It’s a fun interview and when you read the show notes below, you’ll see why it’s well worth the 8-minute watch.
