Episode 356 - RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU
Welcome to another episode of "The Thick and Mystic Moment," hosted by Robert John Hadfield. In today's episode, Robert shares a compelling story from his time in Denver, where he observed birds tragically colliding with a massive glass window. This incident draws a fascinating parallel to the historical struggles faced by Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis in the 1800s, whose pioneering work on handwashing in hospitals initially faced skepticism and resistance.
Join Robert as he reads a captivating article from 1965, published in The Guardian Journals, detailing Semmelweis's journey to drastically reduce maternal mortality rates. This story underscores the importance of recognizing the unseen barriers in our lives and businesses.
Robert also connects these insights to his own entrepreneurial journey with Audiomover, a company dedicated to converting analog media to digital formats. Discover how a simple customer testimonial mentioning "Saint Paul, Minnesota" led to a significant surge in orders, highlighting the power of localized marketing and understanding customer language.
Through these stories, Robert emphasizes the value of noticing connections and obstacles that others might overlook—a crucial skill for success in any endeavor. Whether in life, business, or entrepreneurial activities, being able to see what others can't is often the key to success.
