Today’s conversation is with Sean Iddings, the co-author of the book Intelligent Fanatics: How Great Leaders Build Sustainable Businesses. Sean’s research is focused on finding leaders (both in business and other domains) who have achieved remarkable success through unconventional methods.

Sean (and his co-author Ian Cassel) have now published a second book called Intelligent Fanatics: Standing on the Shoulders of Giants. They write extensively about their research at www.IntelligentFanatics.com.  Outside of his work with the Intelligent Fanatics research team, Sean is also the founder of Unconventional Capital Wisdom, a registered investment advisor in New York State seeking to invest in high-quality companies led by intelligent fanatics.

In this episode, we discuss a number of interesting concepts that are applicable to both business and to general life, including how to identify intelligent fanatics, what investors should do when an intelligent fanatic leaves the company they founded, and how to take the principles used by intelligent fanatics to drive personal growth. Please enjoy this wide-ranging discussion with Sean Iddings.
