Focus, Failures & Reinvention with Greg Bennick (Re-release) | Chasing Curiosity and Sharing Boundless Insights from Ideas that Matter

This is a re-release of my original conversation with Greg Bennick from early 2024.  It is simply too good not to share again.  Greg is a punk rocker, activist, documentary filmmaker, philanthropist, keynote speaker, juggler and expert coin collector.  He’s also written a book, “Reclaim the Moment: Seven Strategies to Build a Better Now.”


I could have talked to Greg for an hour about any one of these parts of his life - he’s got a way of making everything that interesting.  We talk about Seattle’s teen dance ordinance, a real-life Footloose law that he helped overturn.  We talk about how punk music is really just love songs.  And we explore the central themes that tie all of his various pursuits together.  


If you ever struggle with focusing on what matters, finding your purpose or trying to figure out what makes you special in this world - this conversation is for you.


Please enjoy Greg Bennick.


Key Takeaways:

  1. Changing the system from within: Greg’s involvement in overturning Seattle’s teen dance ordinance showcases the power of grassroots advocacy and persistence when making changes from within the system..
  2. Straight edge movement: Explore a subgenre of punk that emphasizes a lifestyle free of alcohol and drugs that is centered around the love of music..
  3. Majestic failures: Nobody advertises their failures.  But behind every best-selling book or successful keynote speech are dozens of failures that paved the way for the success everyone sees.
  4. Re-inventing yourself throughout your career: Your journey is unique.  You have more to offer the world than you think.  Deciding what to do next in your career is not about what, but why.
  5. Focus and Balance: Strategies to maintain focus and balance in a world filled with distractions, as discussed in Greg’s upcoming book, “Reclaim the Moment.”
