S4 EP205 Hiatus Replay of S4 EP174: 
Miles Spencer, Author of the Amazon Bestseller A Line in the Sand

Bleeped words in this episode: M@ss@cre, 3x Sl@ughter, Ass@ssin@tion 

Happy 2026 People,

Dianne is pleased to share her interview with the amazing Miles Spencer. Miles is a self-described curious guy from Pittsburgh who strayed far from home—and even farther from the expected path to create an incredible life and career that is as fascinating as it is impressive.

 

For more than 30 years, he’s mentored tech founders, built and sold three digital media companies, and helped create over 1,000 jobs. He co-hosted his own show on PBS with Cliff Ennico called MoneyHunt, a predecessor to shows like Shark Tank. The pair also co-authored the book, MoneyHunt: 27 New Rules for Creating and Growing a Breakaway Business.

But Miles' story goes well beyond boardrooms and balance sheets. An avid explorer, he once led over 1,500 people across 14 miles of open sea by kayak and has trekked more than 1,000 miles through the deserts of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Syria. That desert journey inspired his current release, A Line in the Sand, which is a bestseller and is currently sitting in the top 10 in three categories on Amazon.

These days, you can find Miles investing in digital media, entertainment, and consumer brands, while also managing teams, painting watercolors, spending time with his family, and planning new adventures and future publications. 

Check out today's episode and hear all the incredible details from the man himself.
