 Have you ever wondered:

• How will bipolar disorder affect my relationship?
• Is gaining weight part of bipolar disorder?
• Why do I have trouble sleeping?

If you're one of the 5.7 adult Americans with bipolar disorder, these are likely the same questions you asked when you were first diagnosed. And how do we know that? They're some of the questions we see coming up in the search queries we look at every day, and we thought it was time they got answered!

Transcripts For Joe Polish Podcast Interview with Steven Krein

Here are the complete interview transcripts to our December 7th podcast interview with founder of The Genius Network, Joe Polish:

Joe Polish: Hello, this Joe Polish, founder of Genius Network.com and today I've got my good friend, Mr. Steve Krein on the line and we're going to talk about a thing that Steve's got going on called Organized Wisdom. And the website is OrganizedWisdom.com and Steve, can you hear me OK?

Steven Krein: Yes, perfect thanks, Joe.

Joe: OK, well I'm in Tempe, Arizona at my headquarters here, and I know you're in New York. At least I think you're in New York.

Steven: I am in New York.

Joe: OK, good. We've known each other for a long time. We've done interviews before in the past for Genius Network and you've always had amazing insight to share about your philosophies on business and growth and profitability from small companies all the way up to major league massive public companies and industry sectors and all of these various things that you have a an enormous amount of skill-set in and that you've been doing for most of your entrepreneurial career.

You've got this thing called Organized Wisdom and I'm just going to refer to it as, if someone listening knows absolutely nothing about it, because frankly at the time that we're doing this interview, I've purposely refrained from finding out anything about Organized Wisdom in any great detail.

Because I wanted to not only, be an interviewer today with you to, basically pull out of your brain what this is all about, but also just for the benefit of everyone that's listening to this right now, I will be learning as I'm simultaneously interviewing you. So I'm going to ask you questions that are from my own personal curiosity and things that I think would best help people understand this new innovation that you have created.

I know you have done extraordinarily well in business in your entrepreneurial career. I want to you to give a background, a thumbnail sketch of who Steve Krein is. And then go in to what is Organized Wisdom, and then I will hit you with some questions.
