It seems only fitting to wrap up the year, VBL Podcast wise, anyway, with an interview that I recorded a while ago, but unfortunately had some technical issues with it. Saying that, my IT team has done an awesome job at cleaning this baby up, and although it was recorded in video format, here it is for your enjoyment in audio only.
Diggy is a fantastic guy. He has a positive outlook on life in general and has one philosophy above and beyond everything else: There is absolutely no need to live a life you are not happy with! I couldn’t agree more, so I made contact with him, got talking and here is the interview that was “almost lost,” for you to enjoy.
Among other things, I and Diggy (real name Dirk) discuss:
- how he is a location independent professional, traveling around the world and working seamlessly;
- why personal growth is what gets him up and about every day;
- how his words of wisdom on dating have helped him enjoy life to the max;
- why eating healthy as an entrepreneur is more important than most people think;
- why he put together his eBook Upgrade Reality; and
- much more.

As someone who has written well over 150 articles on the subject of self-improvement and the importance of always bettering oneself—although the quality of the audio might be a little sketchy on this one from time to time—the quality of the knowledge and the content coming from Diggy certainly couldn’t be any better!
Enjoy this last VBL Podcast of the year, everyone, and we’ll kick off again in January 2011. As always, feel free to leave your comments below.

Hey Chris,
Thanks so much for putting this interview up!
I remember we recorded it (I was in my hotel room) when I was traveling Europe a couple months ago.
It’s been great connecting and we’ll definitely stay in touch next year!
Have a fabulous holiday season and a blast of a new year’s eve!
Best wishes for 2011!
Cheers!
Diggy
Hi Diggy
All my pleasure, buddy. Yes, you’re right, I believe you had just arrived in Amsterdam when we shot this. Shame the video was too poor to use, but the audio came out good enough after a lot of a tweaking. The content was just too good to shelve!
Thanks for the well wishes and make sure you have a great festive season, wherever you may be.
All the best,
Chris
Diggy is such a cool guy, I have been reading his blog for quite a while and I was thrilled to listen to this interview. The interview had a lot of cool highlights but my favourite was what Diggy said about what makes a successful person: Successful person believe in themselves and their ideas and don’t negative influences take off track. (Paraphrased the last part a bit)
Overall great interview wish the audio quality was a little better on Diggy’s end; but thats technology what can you do about it!
Hi Jason
Yes, these things happen – like I said, I had my guys do everything they could with it to make it postable. Better to have it like this, than shelve it forever, I figured.
Thanks for the comment and support on the blog these last few months. Sincerely wishing you a great holiday with your family.
Enjoy, and stay tuned in!
Chris
Wow, it must be a lucky day for me when I get to hear about not one, but TWO great writers in Diggy and yourself, Chris. Keep up the good work
Hi Stuart
Thanks for the kind words… Much appreciated.

Looking forward to the Chris’ review of Diggy’s book.
It’ll come soon, for sure. Gotta role out the brand new-look VBL first!
