This happens every time a new generation pops up, but there is something different about Gen Z.

This episode will cover stories and facts about them as well as tips on how to lead them.
Not finishing strong should not be an option. However, I have failed to do this many times in my life.
I was leading a cross country race in middle school and got lazy at the finish line and got passed (shout out charlie).
I earned the starting spot on 2 different basketball and soccer teams and then lost it because I got comfortable.
I've done this in relationships & even in my career in certain areas.
This episode will share some personal stories about not finishing strong as well as how I'm learning to overcome this.
I’ve spent the 1st 4 years of my career in a sales. As I transition to customer success, I want to share my top x sales tips:
-
Be interested over interesting
-
If your prospect has ever been on a podcast and you don’t google to check before the call, you are being lazy.
-
If they have written a book and you do not buy it… that’s weak.
-
After clarifying next steps on a call, end it relationally.
-
RELEVANT follow up.
-
Ask one more question.
-
You can’t work smarter if you’re not smart yet.
-
Don’t let the highs be too high or the lows be too low.
-
Be a goldfish.
-
Ruthlessly disqualify people. You know deep down if there is actually a chance of they will buy.
-
Don’t burn bridges… people come back around.
12.hand written note

This podcast has gone through a lot of changes over the years.
While I am not making a major update at this point, I will not be doing daily podcasts in August.
I am switching to weekly this month.
Check out this podcast for an update on why.
I promise you that eliminating the option to make a decision will be way easier for you.
An extremely successful person passed away recently and the vast majority of what was talked about at the funeral was...
about this man as a husband, father, and grandad.
Your family doesn't care that much about all the work you do. They want YOU.

There are so many parents out there who need to hear this message. Let your kids start their own family.
Matthew 19:5 in the Bible says, "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh".
It's so important to have friends that don't hold back with.
We need to be inviting people to speak into our blind spots.

I can't possible speak to every story, but this is what I'm learning in my own current fitness journey.
I've obsessed too much over the most optimal training at times, which has gotten in the way of me enjoying my training.
It's also difficult to sustain in my current season of life.

By the title alone, you probably assume that this is clickbait.
On one hand, it is. Of course I'd love for you to bring your friends to church.
But on the other hand, people who are far from God are typically far more receptive to the Good News if they are at your dinner table as opposed to coming to church on Sunday.
You have a testimony and you have a story for a reason. Start there. Don't rely on the pastor. You got this!

One of the things that I've noticed about myself is that I often treat my home like my business if I am not careful.
I am often focusing on tasks, priorities, efficiency, etc.
As much as I don't like the term "Be Present" because I think it's overused, I could use a healthy dose of that.

This activity wrecked me. I continue to do it often.
I often believe the lie that I'm on my own. I believe that I have to prove my worth by clinching my fists and working harder.
I forgot that God is my father. I operate best when I have a childlike faith and I operate as a little boy who wants to make his father proud.
Challenge: Look at a toddler picture of yourself and listen to this song.
You won't regret it!

If you want to run a marathon, more power to you. I have not run one yet, but I will one day.
With that said, I see so many people "yo yo" their way through fitness. They may train a little bit to run one race and then completely fall off the wagon.
You'll benefit far more from developing the habits of being a runner for a long time than you will just running one race.

People say that there is no time for fun and that all of your time goes away when you have a baby.
One one hand, that is true.
On the other, you can create more time and be more productive if you are intentional.
Having a baby made me realize how much crap I had in my schedule. By removing the crap or "trimming the fat," I was able to create so much more time for myself.

I have a skull that sits in a drawer in my house. It's the first thing I look at every single morning.
It reminds me one one thing: I am doing to die.
I hold it and recite Psalm 90:12 which says, "Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom."
This gives me the perspective that I need going into each day.

Yes - Having mentors is one of the best things you can do for your future.

Most people have running trauma. Let's face it. For most of you, it was your punishment in your sport growing up.
You try to run now because you want to be fit, but it sucks... Therefore you suck at it.
Here's what you have to do:
SLOW DOWN. You should be running 80% of your runs at a conversation pace.

If your "church hopping" goes from weeks... to months... to years... it's time to pick one.
Yes, you need to find a biblically sound church. But obsessing over your preferences (worship style, entertainment ability from pastor, people who are "like you") is not what you are called to do as a Christian.
You will never experience the beautiful nature of the body of Christ until you go all in. Just pick one:)

Dr. Bryan Sagray's Bio:
If you don’t feel like you are performing at your best and are looking to take you life to the next level, the solution isn’t as complicated as you may think. Let’s see how…
Make small changes over time that build a life of intention and purpose.
This seems difficult because most of us are stuck in the modern digital era where everything must happen quickly and right away. That we must hustle constantly…
Society has taught you the wrong things though…
Society makes you believe we only have time for work.
Society makes you believe success is a full bank account.
Society makes you believe we have no time for what matters.
This is what society will have you believe LIFE is really about. This is WRONG!
You need to shift your thoughts to what Life is TRULY about.
Life is about connecting with Nature.
Life is about spending time with family.
Life is about building strong relationships.
Life is about physical and mental well-being.
This is where you NEED to focus your time and attention.
Changing your perspective / mindset, learning to reshape your thoughts / actions, and creating consistent small habits that will build momentum is how you LEVEL UP!
My name is Bryan Sagray, and I’m a High Performance Personal Coach for people ready to transform their life to live EVERY single day with intention AND purpose!
Being a spouse, leader, entrepreneur, foot & ankle surgeon, friend, and endurance athlete with a degree in nutrition, I have experienced first hand the struggle of life.
I’ve been through burnout, hardship, & failure over my long career. Learning who I am is what transformed my life mission to be one focused on intention & purpose.
Uncover the simple daily habits my clients use to create intention, develop a real purpose, improve consistency, reclaim time for what matters most, and build better relationships with family, friends, & colleagues! SMALL changes for larger impact!

Christian Huff is a follower of Christ, a husband to Sadie Robertson Huff, a father of 2, a mentor to Many, & the most JACKED man in the state of Louisiana.
In 2021, he started a podcast called 4:8 men.
The podcast is based on 1 Timothy 4:8, which reads "For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come."
In this episode, we talk a lot about physical and spiritual training. We particularly discuss how young men these days are being influenced in the gym. While it's great to be physically fit, it can easily turn into an idolization of yourself. Christian gives some great advice on how to focus on God instead of yourself in life and while in the gym.
We also discuss his new 4:8 Man Challenge, which is a 30 day devo and workout program.
Don't miss this one!

Michael Smoak is the founder of HigherUp Wellness. With hundreds of thousands of followers on social, (after posting for only a year) this guy has a bright future.I know of A LOT of fitness influencers, but this guy is one of my favorites. He doesn't post online to flex about how fit he is. He posts online because he's genuinely passionate about it and wants to help YOU.Read his bio to learn more:"The mind and body are not separate. What affects one affects the other.”I work with Executives and Professionals like you every day who are looking to take their professional career to the next level with a foundation of physical health. People tell me they’re willing to do whatever it takes to climb the ladder in their companies. Yet, most of them are overweight, chronically tired, and eat whatever they can get their hands on in a time crunch. So my question then is always “are your REALLY willing to do whatever it takes?”If you prioritize time in your day to look after your physical body, your brain function is exponentially improved. This will lead to better energy levels throughout the day, a sharper mind, and as a result, YOU performing better in your role! If you are serious about gaining an edge in the corporate space, physical health should be in your top 5 priorities. At HigherUp Wellness, I teach you exactly how to build that time into your busy corporate schedule. Small actions, huge payoffs.

Here is a little bit about Dan Lathrop:
As a first time manager, I struggled deeply with feeling confident. I knew it and my team knew it.I didn't know who I was and I felt completely paralyzed.Have you felt this way?The dread, fear, anxiety, frustration and indecision. Feeling inadequate at every turn.What would it mean for you to overcome these challenges?As a Leadership & Life Coach I know how important it is to be secure in your identity. If you are rooted this is the first step to growing...think about plants, without roots they won't survive. Imagine leading your meetings in your true skin. Not trying to be someone you're not but accepting you for you. You would feel confident and your team would increased faith in your and your leadership ability.Watering your roots allows you to increase your self awareness - learning to lead yourself so that you can lead your team.Imagine having insight into each team member and best ways to manage/communicate with them individually and as a group.What value would demystifying your teams behaviors be worth to you?Looking to discover more about who you are? Let’s hop on a call to get to now each other. You’ll leave wanting to dig more into you - authenticity is a result of self awareness and identity. Discovering your identity will help you be more secure in your skin, leading to greater impact in your leadership and multiplying leaders.You cannot lead others if you’re unable to lead yourself.Identity can help you harness your leadership to develop leaders not followers.

Here is a little bit about Andrew Hartman:
At 27, I lost my sense of smell due to stress at work.
I was a knowledge worker, responsible for my own schedule, and I was stressed out of my mind.Waking up in cold sweats was the norm, often from project management nightmares.I couldn't keep my calendar or to-do list straight, and every day felt like a battle, culminating in me unable to smell anything or even taste food. I realized the red warning lights of mental breakdown were flashing all around me, and something had to change.This was rock bottom for me, starting me on a 15 year journey to find a way to restore my mental health while still making progress on strategic priorities.
And guess what: it worked. Every week, my Time Boss (Aka me) plans out my week for me, ensuring I run at the highest sustainable pace, making massive progress on my priorities, all the while maintaining peace.
And there's hope for you too.
The Time Boss Model is a distilled version of 15 years of learning. I've ran the experiments, made the mistakes, learned what works and what doesn't. It's my joy and privilege to now share that with others.
I lead every Time Boss Group, and I do all the 1x1 coaching, because I believe in this work deeply, and I get the deepest joy from helping people make peaceful progress in their life.
I believe that each of us has a part to play. Each of us has a unique contribution that the world needs. Time Boss helps us prioritize that unique contribution, while maintaining our peace and mental health. It empowers us to find our highest sustainable pace, and make as much impact as possible, for as long as possible.

Having climbed the corporate ladder for over 10 years, I have gained a clear understanding of what it takes to become a leader. As a first-time manager, I have experienced burnout due to overload and I've had my fair share of mistakes. But I love it because:
Anyone can be a leader.
You too. 👈🏻

Jack has been through a lot of hardship as a young professional, but the way that he continues to honor and praise God is something that I was drawn to. Read his bio below:
I thought I was going to be a priest, but then God told me no
I was crushed.
All I wanted was to give my life entirely to Him.
How could I still do that and live in the world?
I discovered the universal call to Holiness
No, I don’t hear confessions or celebrate mass or celebrate weddings nor funerals or baptisms.
Instead, God has called me to a different path.
To still be devoted to him in daily prayer.
To still glorify Him in all of my work
To still serve Him and everyone I meet
And lay my life down for my wife and Him.
My mission is still clear I am called to heaven.
This is not my home but while I am here I will work with Christ, and bring others to Him
I will help others grow in detachment, generosity, and prudence in their finances
I will serve with my time, talent, and treasure
I will raise a family devoted to Christ
I will build a business devoted to Christ
I will build a nonprofit devoted to Christ
I will build a life devoted to Christ
________
If you want to join me… schedule a meeting
There is a beautiful plan for your life.
And money can be a huge blessing in your life and others lives.
We just need to learn the balance of detachment, generosity, and prudence.
Let’s be saints!

Stephen recently had me on his podcast and now I am having him on mine. Here is his bio:
For 14 years, I was a top performer working with C-Suites of Fortune 500 companies on strategy and tech.
But I became dissatisfied.
In 2018, I decided I wanted to bet on myself and build a business but I had a wife, one kid at the time and a mortgage.
I started a local company with a partner while working my 9-5 and grew it to 6-figures and profitability our first year.
Then the pandemic and twin girls happened in 2020 when I thought I was ready to leave corporate.
My plan changed but my Objective did not.
In 2022, I successfully exited the company I started and quit my 9-5 job.
I started coaching hi-earners my trademarked process to eliminate distractions and build wealth.
Now, my mission is to create a community of contrarian thinkers who don’t want to work till they are 70, enjoy a few years of retirement in their old age and die.
Everyone needs a strategy for their life so they don’t wind up with regrets and can live a life of significance, purpose and fun.
What I help people do comes down to 4 things:
1) Define what is meaningful and significant to them
2) Eliminate time-sucks and money-wasters
3) Reallocate freed up time and money to achieve the goals that matter most
4) Accelerate timelines to attain your Objectives
I do it through my trademarked 7-step process called the Lifestyle Strategy Playbook™.
It was developed from my years with globally-renowned strategic thinkers and behavioral psychologists focused on adapting and managing change along with in-depth financial planning experience.

A few more random facts about me…
📈Financially independent at 33
⛷️I love all sports except baseball
💸Built a profitable 6-figure business in its first year and sold it 4 years later while still working my 9-5
🍕Unofficial pizza connoisseur
🤿Love scuba diving, especially with sharks
🤘Happily married with 3 crazy, fun kids

If you don’t feel like you are performing at your best and are looking to take you life to the next level, the solution isn’t as complicated as you may think. Let’s see how…
Make small changes over time that build a life of intention and purpose.
This seems difficult because most of us are stuck in the modern digital era where everything must happen quickly and right away. That we must hustle constantly…
Society has taught you the wrong things though…

Life is about connecting with Nature.
Life is about spending time with family.
Life is about building strong relationships.
Life is about physical and mental well-being.
This is where you NEED to focus your time and attention.
Changing your perspective / mindset, learning to reshape your thoughts / actions, and creating consistent small habits that will build momentum is how you LEVEL UP!

We live in a self-focused world. The self-help and personal development industry is booming. Organizations are cultivating their talent more than ever.
Personal development is a GREAT thing — but it's not the ONLY thing.
If you're not intentional about the outcomes of your growth mindset, you're short-changing your influence.

Tim Schurrer was the right hand to Donald Miller for almost a decade as COO of StoryBrand. During his time working at StoryBrand, as well as at TOMS Shoes and at Apple under Steve Jobs, he discovered a secret society of people who taught him a new way to define success that's counter to what culture is selling. For most people, success is within their grasp-they've just been looking for it in all the wrong places. Tim is on a mission to give them the map because everyone deserves a life and career they love. Tim lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with his wife, Katie, and their two kids.
In this episode, Tim shares some gold about how to embody this mindset. The earlier we can learn how to think like this, the better off we will be!

Tyler Meckes has been a LinkedIn friend of mine for a while. He's got a podcast of his own that I've had the pleasure of being a guest on. It was about time that I had him on here! Here is his bio below:
Following Graduate Studies in Exercise Science, I accidentally fell into the Sales and Marketing world. The transition from college into the business world has taught me that diverse skill development, and the ability to transfer those skills into your current job is far more important than the subject you studied in college.
Across my selling career, I have always been particularly interested in very strong alignment between Sales and Marketing, and have found ways to incorporate Partnerships and Marketing to build my territory, and strategically drive revenue through creative, customer-centric means.
As a Full-Cycle Account Manager, I leveraged the concept of “Content-Led Partnerships” to build relationships and create brand-awareness through Video Content, and Podcasts. While building out the Revenue Expansion and Go-To-Market functions at Start-Ups ranging from Seed to Series B, I learned how crucial an effective Marketing strategy can be in building pipeline, and reaching customers at-scale.
Now, I am able to combine all of my previous experience to help customers design frictionless Sales, Marketing, and RevOps strategies in HubSpot as a Growth Strategist at Impulse Creative.

As an entrepreneur, former executive, husband, and father of three, Cory Carlson understands the pressures working parents face. He is passionate about helping business leaders win at home and work.
Twenty years in corporate America gave Cory amazing opportunities as he worked his way up to the executive level. But he also saw brokenness: work without purpose, burnout, lack of focus, strained marriages, and absentee parents. Business leaders especially were often not living life to the fullest.
When Cory discovered coaching, it helped him become a better leader, husband, and father. So he left his corporate career to help other leaders win at work and at home. Cory does this through executive coaching, speaking, and writing.
Currently, Cory lives in Cincinnati with his awesome wife and three amazing children.
Cory has a Civil Engineer degree from the University of Missouri and an MBA from Rockhurst University.
His first book released in June 2019 titled, Win at Home First, and is an inspirational guide for work-life balance. His book was Amazon's #1 New Release in 3 Categories and listed in FORBES as ‘7 Books Everyone On Your Team Should Read’.
Cory just released his second book, Rise and Go. This book is a resource to help leaders get back up quicker after getting knocked down from the challenges of leadership and life.
He hosts the leadership podcast, Win at Home First, a Top 1.5% global podcast per ListenNotes.

--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hampton-dortch/message
Bob is a child of God in Nashville, Tennessee. As an entrepreneur, podcast host, and former professional athlete, he's been blessed to live a multi-faceted life. As a professional baseball player, he traveled the nation and performed in stadiums of over 15,000 people. As an author, speaker, and podcast host, he's worked with thought-leaders, bestselling authors, and world-class musicians, including people like Rory Vaden, Rachel Cruze, Fred Stoeker, and Jason Gray. His podcast (That Singles’ Show) is hosted by KCBI Christian Radio in Dallas, and my work has been featured on various other nationally syndicated radio outlets like WAY-FM and THE FISH. He has an inborn desire for helping people discover their passion for God, and that was the reason he wrote his first book, Our Hearts’ Desire.
Before he wrote Our Hearts’ Desire, he played minor league baseball for the Toronto Blue Jays and the St. Louis Cardinals. He played in dozens of states and multiple countries throughout his career, and chased what many would call a childhood dream. But I can honestly say that God wasn’t his focus. At that point in his life, the crowds seemed more powerful and the relationships more tangible. He could feel the impact those things had on him, but he couldn’t say the same about God.
You WILL NOT REGRET buying his book Our Hearts' Desire!

There is something that you might not know about me. Fitness and nutrition is by far my biggest hobby. I grew up running track and playing soccer so I always ran a good bit. But when I got to college, I hung up the running shoes and hit the gym. While I really enjoyed lifting in college, I didn't have a plan. Everything was so sporadic. I gained some muscle and got stronger because I went from no lifting to somewhat consistent lifting.
But it wasn't until 2020 that everything changed. I finally decided to believe all of the people that said that nutrition is equally (if not more) important than lifting in order to hit your fitness goals.
Learning about fitness and nutrition has truly changed my life, and my goal is to help you change yours. With a few simple things to understand as well as a few mindset tweaks, you can do more than you could ever imagine with your fitness goals.
On this podcast, I talk about...
-Being consistently good over occasionally great
-Fitness myths
-How to fuel your body by eating well
-How to build muscle and burn fat
P.S. This podcast is about learning to lead yourself so that you can one day lead others well. My personal belief is that a huge part of leading yourself is learning how to take care of your body. The more you take care of your body, the better you will show up for the people who need you.

If you've followed me long enough, you know that this episode title is not totally accurate. Just because you don't have a leadership title DOES NOT mean that you are not a leader. In fact, there are many great leaders that don't even have leadership titles.

Mallory went to Samford University with me and excelled at a very high level. In this episode, we will talk about...
-The impact that sports and her parents had on her growing up
-How she invested in herself in the early days of college, which led to tons of leadership opportunities
-What she learned from serving as the president of her sorority (200+ girls & a multi-million dollar budget)
-How she is soaking up as much as she can in the early years of her career so that she can continue to grow into the best leader she can be.
