The whole premise for The Shut Up Show started many years before my co-host Phil and I ever met. Say what?! Yes, it’s true. Find out more about that serendipitous story as Phil and I interview Scott Ginsberg, the only person in the entire world who wears a nametag 24-7, whose “shut up and don’t give a shit” philosophy became the impetus for The Shut Up Show.

Fun Facts:
- Scott was inducted into Ripley’s Believe It Or Not for wearing a nametag 24-7.
- Scott is the author of 25 books.
- Scott literally (and I literally mean “literally”) showed up at POKE New York to offer his employment after researching “coolest places to work in NYC.”
Defining Shut Up Moment:
Scott told people to shut up a long time ago and decided now, as his life is changing and wanting to start a family, is the time to shut up himself. He wrote a 10-page letter of resignation to himself and left his successful speaking business after 13 years to jump into his first corporate job that he hand-selected to hire him.
Shut Up Tips:
Look for signs of fear. Pay attention to the lies we tell ourselves. Identify your triggers and have a good partner to help you recognize your triggers. – Scott
There is no formula for preventing fear. Just stop caring. Learn to not give a shit. Care about the stuff that matters. Care strategically. – Scott
What other people think of you is not your business. – Phil
Tweeting is talking to yourself in the corner. Meet people for coffee. Schedule video chats. Install collaboration in your schedule to stay connected to other humans. – Scott
The question isn’t how do we prevent burnout. The better question to ask is whether the business has inevitable burnout. – Scott
Life has changed. Get out when the time is right. – Scott
It’s about meeting people where they’re at. – Berni
