My choice. I focus on the elements of individual journeys with people across the globe. The title of my podcast is Conversations with Calvin We the SPECIES. We are one species inhabiting the earth. Preaching now concluded. When Edouard Prisse and his book ‘Sleeping with the Enemy: What the White House Still Misses on China’ came into my field of vision, I gave it thought. We live in a complicated world of an interconnected global economy. We see it every day on a purchasing line. Edouard brings discussion and thought. Yes, thinking is fun. He is fascinating, worldly, brilliant, and easy to understand. Economics was one of my favorite courses at Rutgers. And he likes the economist who wrote my 60’s textbook. I like this question I asked. “Why do you think nations sometimes misunderstand the long-term consequences of economic decisions?" And this is a diverse interview. We talked about the movie, ‘2001: A Space Odyssey.’ Therefore, an all-purpose, provocative interview. A special element. Edouard is older than me. These days, almost no one is older than me.

Calvin Schwartz did. In this transformative business fable, discover the ten counterintuitive lessons that turned a pharmacy graduate into a top regional manager—lessons about influence, failure, strategic tension, and building a legacy that matters. Success isn't about what you know. It's about who teaches you. ** KAE WAGNER’S STORY: Finally, the long-awaited day is here: The book Calvin and I wrote together is on Amazon. You know those moments that feel tiny at the time but end up rerouting your entire year? Yeah. Mine happened on a cold January morning in 2025. Dan R Morris, friend, colleague, and the best marketer I know, sent me a note. “Hey Kae, I think you’d be a great fit for a podcast interview with a guy named Calvin Schwartz.” I didn’t know Calvin. I didn’t know his show, Conversations with Calvin, We the SpecIEs. I didn’t know he’d interviewed more than 400 innovators worldwide. I just said yes. So, we talked. And between the conversation about books, the Bold Authors Network, and Einstein, I realized something. Calvin wasn’t just curious. He was electric. He carried stories the way most people carry oxygen. He had lived enough for three lifetimes and somehow made it sound like he’d just been taking notes the whole time. That conversation ended, and I remember sitting there thinking; This man is sitting on a book. Fast forward a week. I invited him to become a founding member of the Bold Authors Network. PROMO HOUR was only an idea on my whiteboard at the time. I didn’t know if anyone would show up. Calvin walked in on day one and has been there ever since. And then April happened. I read his novel, There’s a Tortoise in My Hair, and somewhere between the humor, the heart, and the stream-of-consciousness brilliance, it hit me: There were four books buried in that one. And one of them was the story he’d been too humble to tell. The one about the Billionaire who mentored him for twenty-five years. Today, on launch day, the Billionaire story is a real book. A book with spine, pages, and the kind of wisdom you dog-ear without apology. ‘10 Things I Learned from the Billionaire’ is now out in the world. Now yours to read. Now ours to celebrate. ** CONVERSATIONS WITH CALVIN WE THE SPECIES hosted by Calvin Schwartz https://www.youtube.com/c/ConversationswithCalvinWetheSpecIEs 680 Interviews/Videos 9200 SUBSCRIBERS GLOBAL Reach.
