700: Peter Shankman, Founder of HARO and Author of Faster Than Normal

<p>This episode is probably my quickest interview yet...but it should come as no surprise, as today’s guest is the one and only Peter Shankman, author of <em>Faster Than Normal</em>. Indeed, this interview was fast…and anything but normal. And that’s why I think you’ll love it. Peter, as he describes in his bio, is a "spectacular example of what happens when you merge the power of pure creativity with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and a dose of adventure, and make it work to your advantage." </p><p>Peter is an author, entrepreneur and corporate keynote speaker. He is famous for founding HARO, which stands for Help a Reporter Out. It is the most popular sourcing service in the English-speaking world, connecting journalists and bloggers with relevant expert sources to meet journalists’ demanding deadlines and enable brands to tell their stories.  He built and sold this fast-growing website in 2.5 years. Again, <em>faster than normal.</em></p><p>Peter has some unconventional beliefs around money. For example, if you want to <strong>make</strong> more money, you have to first <strong>spend</strong> it. He offers some specific examples. Plus where to invest your money this year? It involves a four-letter word :)</p><p>Peter’s book is <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Faster-Than-Normal-Turbocharge-Productivity/dp/0143131222/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1508166639&sr=8-1&keywords=faster+than+normal">Faster Than Normal</a>.
