Mark Eglinton on Creative Collaboration

Today I am speaking with author and co-writer, Mark Eglinton. 

Mark has written many books including 

• Blindsided with Rugby World Cup Winner (and previous guest on this show) Michael Lynagh, 
• Heavy Duty - Days and Night in Judas Priest - with musician K.K. Downing  
• Reboot: My Life My time - with professional Footballer, Michael Owen. 

In this conversation, you will hear about the lessons that Mark learned early on in his career as he tried to shortcut the system through the family business. Mark shares how he quickly learned what he was good at and what he wasn’t, and more importantly,  not to waste time trying to do the stuff he wasn’t good at. 

He shares how his experience as a caddie on the Old Course at St Andrews, was a great testing ground for developing relationships, asking great questions and getting to know people. And of course we will explore and discuss topics like effective collaboration, overcoming procrastination, creating structure and approach, getting to know your subject, finding the voice and doing the work. 

There is advice all the way through this conversation.
