046: Passion, Porn, & Pot | A Conversation with Craig Gross

Making Elephants Fly | Conversations with High Octane Leaders, Dreamers, & Creatives

On this episode of Making Elephants Fly, Terry sits down with Craig Gross. Craig is a serial creator and entrepreneur. He started started speaking across the country in 1998 with his best friend, Jake. They called it “Craig and Jake LIVE.” and it eight years they spoke in front of a half million people. Since then he’s been speaking everywhere from churches, conferences, workshops, and many other events since then. In 2006, I was asked to debate the porn king, Ron Jeremy, in front of college audiences. That journey took him debating Ron at Yale on ABC Nightline and over 100 times across the country. Recently, he was featured at the Kajabi Impact Summit. He’s started a non-profit XXX Church addressing porn addiction, written 13 books over the last 17 years, recently launched two podcasts, helped a ton of people through masterminds and coaching, and launched a few businesses along the way. His podcast "Craig Brain" is a live look in as he fleshes out his next book and shares what’s inside his brain. Bottom line Craig is not afraid to get in the messy middle and break stuff. Speaking of breaking stuff his new project is https://christiancannabis.com and the Christian Cannabis Podcast. Where he’s sharing his story of and asking lots of hard questions. Even if you’ve never heard his name you’ve probably seen his work it’s been featured everywhere except Oprah. Places like CNN, FOX, ABC, LA Times, Time Magazine, and in the New York Times. We learn how to know when to start things and when to stop them and what happens when we say yes to adventure. We talk about everything from Kayne West to mentoring influencers. Craig has always asked hard questions and I asked a few of my own. Find out more at http://terryweaver.com and join Terry at the next Thing Event at http://thething.live .
