The Coffee Challenge: The Power of Asking for What You Want with Bobby Audley

Bobby Audley

Ask for what you want, get what you want. Sounds simple, doesn’t it? But as Bobby Audley explains in this inspiring episode, sometimes it’s the smallest words, the simplest steps, and 50 cups of coffee that can make the biggest difference in our lives.  

By setting the goal of having coffee with 50 people forces you to be clear about your goals. Making the goal public, one person at a time, also makes it much stronger. Having 50 coffees is good because then you have to commit to the specific move that you want to make. You’ll also get input from smart and interesting people.

The hidden insight in the 50 coffees idea is that the biggest changes in your life will only happen through the people that you meet and conversations you have. Human beings create and convey meaning through stories and conversations. If you change the conversations that you’re a part of, then your life changes automatically.
