Welcome to Episode 37 of The Most Important Podcast Ever with BJD.
Today… we’re doing something a little different.

Usually, I’m the one asking the questions—listening for the inflection points, drawing out the stories, and trying to understand what life has taught the people sitting across from me. But for this episode, we decided to turn the tables. And I couldn’t imagine anyone better to take the interviewer’s chair than my friend— and one of the best communicators I’ve ever known—Michael Voss.

If you listened to Episode 18, you already know Michael brings a sharp mind, a quick wit, and a storyteller’s soul. He’s the guy who hosted my global town halls back in the Best Buy days, helped shape the way we communicated to thousands of employees, and—more importantly—he’s someone I have trusted with my story for years.

So today, it’s my turn in the hot seat.

Michael asks about the early chapters of my life, the winding journey through retail, the heartbreak and the healing that shaped me, and the lessons I’m still learning as a father, a leader, and a guy trying to move through the world with a grateful heart. We talk about why this podcast exists, what I hope it becomes, and what I’ve learned from the extraordinary people who’ve already shared their stories with us.

It’s vulnerable. It’s candid. And like every good conversation with Michael, it’s also a lot of fun.

So… let’s turn the tables.
Here is Episode 37—my conversation with Michael Voss.
