A Word with the Wizard: The Art of Being Steve D. Sims

Brand Voice Runway with Hersh Rephun

In this episode, Hersh Rephun chats with Steve D. Sims about understanding client needs, the evolution of his brand, and the importance of authenticity in business. They also discuss transitioning from financial goals to personal ones, maintaining high standards, misconceptions about success, and effective time management.

Forbes and Entrepreneur call him "the real life Wizard of Oz," and for good reason: Steve is a leading practitioner of the Art of Making Things Happen (also the name of his popular podcast). He leads (with son Henry) a community of disrupters via Sims Distillery, schools those who want to learn on how to ask a question based on the answer you want to receive.

He's got testimonials from the likes of Sir Elton John, he's closed museums in Florence for a private dinner party and then had Andrea Bocelli serenade his guests, and you can let your imagination run wild from there – chances are Steve will top it!

He's a best selling Author with "BLUEFISHING - the art of making things happen” & “Go For Stupid – The Art of Achieving Ridiculous Goals”, sought-after coach, Top rated speaker after keynoting at a variety of networks, groups and associations as well as the Pentagon and Harvard – twice! I'm currently reading "Go For Stupid," and loving it... join me as we get down to business!
