Ed Latimore 2.0 - The Parts Where We Didn't Talk About His Twitter Expertise
Ed Latimore is such a diverse guy that you could pick any one of his interests or areas of expertise and spend more time than you have learning from him.
This episode includes parts of our conversation that weren't relevant to the Twitter strategies that Ed shared in Episode 11.
We talk about life after graduating with a Physics degree, why he wants to create a course to teach students how to think about math, his public speaking, travel, his boxing career and more. I think you'll agree he's a fascinating guy and I'm happy to bring you this previously unpublished part of our conversation.
(Update: For various reasons, Ed has since retired from professional boxing).
Watch the Periscope with Scott Adams that happened after we discussed pursuing that opportunity during our chat.
Here's a link to Ed's interview on the Jordan Harbinger Show.
Even more fun is a link to Ed's appearance with Scott Adams on his ever popular, daily Periscope broadcast: https://youtu.be/vcmIvAj6wJw

Ed Latimore - How to Leverage Twitter to Amplify Your Message and Grow Your Influence
Ed Latimore is a writer with a keen intellect and a powerful punch (literally). His unique background and perspective has attracted the curiosity of silicon valley angel investors, controversial influencers, top-notch podcasters and thought leaders from all over the world.
Ed has been a guest on top-rated podcasts like "The Knowledge Project" with Shane Parrish, "The Jordan Harbinger Show" and "The Art of Manliness" with Brett McKay, among others.
I noticed Latimore when random people, not connected to each other, were sharing and retweeting his content. I reached out to him when I realized he is a fellow Pittsburgher, a Duquesne U student (now graduate with a physics degree) and a professional boxer. Who does that?
I was happy to chat with Ed about how he exploited Twitter to grow his audience exponentially and create an online business in the process and change the trajectory of his life. (You're welcome for that physics reference-bonus points for the definition, a law or equation!)
