In this super special edition of the Caged Vision Podcast, I interview Brigadier General (Brig Gen) Shawn Campbell. We discuss his nearly 3 decades of leadership in the US Air Force and newly minted US Space Force.
Brig Gen Campbell dives into how doing things differently as a leader is many times what is required to reverse failure and achieve success.
He is an example of a true pioneer in change management and transformation on a massive scale. For example, his instrumental efforts in building the first new independent service of the DoD in nearly 75 years from the ground up - the new USSF.
If that wasn’t enough, he was on a tight budget and an even tighter timeline.
You have to hear this story. It shows that we can all accomplish more than we ever believed possible.
He drops an amazing quote from Churchill, "Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.”
He provides some great examples of both successes and failures he himself experienced throughout his life and military service.
He is now responsible for nearly 700K Total Force personnel and over $60B in funding annually..almost hard to imagine.
It was truly an honor to have Brig Gen Campbell on the podcast, and I highly recommend listening to his insights.
"If you’re standing still, you’re actually moving backward” ~Brig Gen Shawn Campbell
"There is no limit to what a man can do or where he can go if he doesn't mind who gets the credit." This is from the plaque that sat on Ronald Reagan's desk during his presidency. Could it be that President Reagan was actually a member of a Secret Society?
Well, whether he knew it or not, President Reagan certainly had the mindset of what Tim Schurrer calls The Secret Society of Success.
On today's Caged Vision Podcast I interview author Tim Schurrer on his new book The Secret Society of Success. Be sure to download and listen to here great stories like:

How to prioritize what matters when expectations when all eyes are on you.
"I was in my car, leaving for New York when I had this feeling…I need to be home with my wife and baby girl."
Earlier that morning, AC Evans was spending a little time with his daughter before going to accept the most prominent award he'd ever received.
After his daughter literally threw up in his face, AC washed up, suited up, and was off to the airport.
Sitting in his car, AC had a moment that caused him to pause.
No award, no acknowledgment, no accolade, was more significant than his moment to let his wife and daughter know they were a priority.
AC got out of the car, put on his PJs, and spent the day with his family.
This story is just one of many great examples AC Evans provides for leadership, priorities, focus, culture, and making moments count.
AC is this week's guest on the Caged Vision Podcast.
AC is the CEO and Co-founder of Drips.com, a conversational SMS platform.

How to be an INFLUENCER that matters.
Are you a Go-Getter? Most of you might instinctively respond with an immediate and resounding YES!
…But what about a GO-GIVER INFLUENCER?
Today, my guest Bob Burg, co-author of The Go-Giver series, talks Influence on the Caged Vision Podcast. We had an amazing conversation filled with the wisdom Bob is known for. Below are a few takeaways:
"We can all have a vision. It's holding on to that vision…having a vision is the easy part, it's holding that vision is often the difficult part, especially when things do go as we want them to go."
"Influence on a basic level is the ability to move a person or persons to a desired action & within the context of a specific goal. That's the definition, but by no means is it the substance or the essence of Influence."
"The essence of influence is PULL."
"A great influencer asks themselves questions to make sure they're facing the right direction. For example: How does what I'm asking of this person align with THEIR goals, THEIR needs?"
"Leadership can come from anywhere in an organization, but for it to be a culture, it's got to come from the top."
You can access all of Bob's amazing content, including his books, podcast, video series, and the amazing new course he's launched at www.burg.com.

Creating the Customer Experience Through Data
The 2nd show in a 2-part series on Customer Experience. In this episode, we cover the 'data' aspect the CX and how to form the ideal experience for your customer.

The Fundamentals of Customer Experience
Show Notes:
Your customers want an experience with your brand that is:
- Unique
- Memorable
- Personalized
The problem is your staff have different personalities and approach customer experience differently.
The imposter shepherds will: 1) Steel your passion 2) Kill your vision What are these imposters: 1st, CERTAINTY is not your shepherd. The quest for certainty is draining. 2nd imposter, INSECURITY. You’ll never be fully alive as a leader following your insecurity. Insecurity will eventually lead to dishonesty, which erodes your credibility & undermines moral authority. 3rd imposter is ENVY. Envy will just lead you to do what everyone else is already doing. You’ll end up arrogant or depressed.
Storytelling Your Vision:
-
Your employees want to be relevant to your organization
-
The problem is they're disconnected from your strategy:
-
It's not contextual/relevant
-
They don't know how to add value
-
As the CEO, you understand, because you've been an employee
