This episode is a rare and personal look into the life, wisdom, and legacy of Earl Nightingale—the man behind The Strangest Secret and one of the founding fathers of the personal development movement.
My guest is Hall of Fame professional speaker Joel Weldon. Joel was a friend of Earl Nightingales, and he shares insights into the man behind the message, how his timeless ideas came to life and how they remain relevant for you sixty years later.
For career-minded leaders like you, this is more than a history lesson—it’s a lesson in influence, legacy, and the lasting power of an idea.
