📖 In this episode:

Angus and Timm discuss the internal challenges all leaders face during times of transition - whether starting a new role, getting promoted, expanding your business or rebuilding after a setback.

📖 In this episode:

Angus interviews Natanya Anderson, an experienced social media and marketing leader, about vulnerability, authenticity and growth in leadership.

🔹 Highlights:

  • Early social media was about testing and iterating quickly without much measurement. Now it’s more operationalized but still requires agility.
  • Leading large teams requires clarity in communicating strategy so everyone understands their role. Transparency also remains critical at scale.
  • Many leaders avoid vulnerability out of fear it will make them look weak. But vulnerability can build trust and connection.
  • Self-awareness tools like 12-step programs equipped Natanya to understand her own motivations and make intentional leadership choices.
  • Reflection and seeking feedback are key to building resilience through challenging experiences.

📖 In episode #82 - The Resilience Playbook: The Leadership Hack You're Ignoring

Angus and Timm have an insightful discussion about why we should view pain and resistance as gifts instead of obstacles to avoid.

🔹Highlights:

  • What is the natural instinct when pain arises and why does this actually limit our ability to innovate and grow?
  • How can leaders turn resistance into resilience? What do our failures contain if we respond to them well?

  • What animal provides an example of facing storms head on?

Welcome to another episode of Evolve Leadership Podcast. In the ever-evolving and highly competitive landscape of today's business world, there's a pressing issue that demands our attention: employee retention. We've all witnessed the phenomenon known as the "great resignation," a period marked by a significant increase in people leaving their jobs. It seems that motivation to stay, work hard, and be an integral part of the team has waned for various reasons. As organizations diligently work towards growth and success, the constant turnover of talent, particularly among highly skilled employees, has reached an alarming level that can no longer be brushed aside. Today, we'll delve deep into this critical issue, exploring the root causes and potential solutions.

[1:00] Employee retention and employee motivation.

Employee retention, the ability of organizations to keep their workforce intact, has become a crucial indicator of a company's overall health and resilience. Beyond the visible expenses of recruiting and training new hires, losing valuable employees carries intangible consequences that can significantly disrupt businesses. To illustrate this point, I have a friend who is an executive at a Fortune 500 company. He mentioned that replacing a specialized team member involves the cost of finding a replacement and the expenses associated with training them to reach the same level of expertise as their predecessor. In his case, this process can amount to a staggering $155,000. The challenge of retaining top talent is indeed a substantial issue that requires attention.

[4:17] How leaders need to create environments where employees want to work for them

The statistics can be truly eye-opening. For instance, the cost of replacing an employee can range from 50% to a staggering 200% of their annual salary. So, it's crucial for us to explore how we can foster environments where employees genuinely want to stay. In today's competitive job market, companies are offering various incentives, from higher salaries to perks like tickets to games or even the allure of freebies like ping pong tables. However, retaining talent is where the real financial benefit lies. It has a significant impact on your bottom-line revenue. Here's an interesting fact: approximately 50% of employees who decide to leave their jobs do so because of issues related to their managers. This highlights the critical role that leaders and founders play in shaping the company culture and creating a workplace that people genuinely want to be a part of.

[8:34] The importance of self-awareness

One of the core aspects of effective leadership lies in the ability to enhance employee retention. I recall a conversation from years ago when someone asked me about the essence of a good leader. I was somewhat taken aback, wondering what qualities truly defined one. Their response was both simple and profound: a good leader is someone others want to follow. This leads us to a vital question: how can we bridge that gap? What is it that makes employees want to stay? Leadership often carries an aura of unique charisma or magnetic appeal. However, what if it's not just magic? Let's delve into the realm of human psychology. Here is where we find the transformational power of qualities like resilience, understanding, connection, empathy, compassion, and collaboration. When a leader taps into these attributes, something extraordinary happens. Leadership transcends the ordinary. According to a study in Harvard Business Review, what distinguishes high-performing leaders from their peers is largely rooted in emotional intelligence, accounting for nearly 90% of the difference. Emotional intelligence, a term often used but not always fully grasped, refers to the ability to recognize, understand, manage, and express our emotions, as well as to perceive and respond effectively to the emotions of others. It comprises essential components such as self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, and social skills. Many describe these as 'soft skills,' but as our friend Steven Catalano mentioned in Episode 68, they are, in fact, the 'power skills' of our time.

[8:53] What emotional intelligence looks like for you as a leader

Effective leadership hinges on self-awareness, the ability to understand one's emotions and their impact on thoughts and actions. Our life stories and past beliefs shape us, influencing decisions and interactions with others. These mental 'Gremlins' can hold us back unless we cultivate self-awareness. Leaders lacking self-awareness struggle to grasp their influence on team dynamics. Harvard Business Review reports that self-aware leaders experience a 70% reduction in employee turnover, highlighting its importance in retaining talent. To develop self-awareness, leaders can seek feedback, journal their experiences, or engage mentors and coaches for self-reflection. A client example illustrates the power of self-awareness. A co-founder of a large startup with a team of 200, he neglected the human side of leadership, resorting to assertiveness. Through self-awareness, he learned to delegate, empowering his team and freeing himself to focus on vital aspects. In summary, self-awareness is a cornerstone of effective leadership. It empowers leaders to understand their impact, reduce turnover, and foster a culture of growth and empowerment.

[17:30] Self-regulation and social awareness

We've all been there—reacting impulsively to situations, whether it's with our family or at work. It's a common human trait, but as leaders, mastering self-regulation and self-management is paramount. Imagine a day when personal issues affect your mood and behavior, creating a ripple effect in your professional life. Self-regulation techniques, such as mindfulness, meditation, and breathwork, prove invaluable for managing these moments and keeping emotions in check. But leadership doesn't stop at self-regulation; it extends to social awareness, often termed situational awareness. This means understanding not only the emotions and needs of individuals but also the intricate dynamics of your team and the broader company context. Being socially aware also involves recognizing the personal challenges your team members may face outside of work, from family issues to personal struggles. Building trust and collaboration hinges on this awareness. Research by TalentSmart indicates that leaders with strong self-awareness experience a remarkable 60% reduction in employee turnover. This statistic underscores the critical link between social awareness and employee retention.

Effective leaders actively engage with their team, practicing active listening and fostering inclusivity and diversity within their workplace culture. Regular check-ins with team members serve as a compass for leadership, helping gauge their well-being and gathering valuable feedback.

[21:47] Fostering inclusiveness in workplace culture

Exploring relationship management, particularly in corporate settings, presents challenges, especially as one advances up the corporate hierarchy. It becomes essential to discern who can be trusted and with whom caution is warranted. This observation isn't a slight against any specific company, but it underscores the prevalent experience of a competitive corporate culture, often lacking self-awareness.

As you navigate this landscape, resilience becomes an invaluable trait. Effectively managing relationships demands a heightened sense of self-awareness. This includes understanding the nuances of individual interactions and the specific context in which they occur. Social awareness and situational awareness are vital, as is the ability to self-regulate. You might often find yourself contemplating, "How should I react in this situation? I'm feeling a touch apprehensive about initiating change and shifting the organizational culture." This is where all four components of emotional intelligence come into play. To initiate a culture shift within your company, you'll need to leverage self-awareness and self-regulation. It may require summoning the courage to engage in a candid dialogue with your manager, articulating how your approach can foster better employee retention and nurture a more enduring team culture. Essentially, you are harmonizing all four facets of emotional intelligence to forge a more comprehensive leadership approach within your organization.

[32:05] Leadership is not just about tactics

Your emotional intelligence holds the power to transform your business, leadership, and, most importantly, employee retention. Prioritizing emotional intelligence in your development as a leader fosters harmonious work environments, boosts productivity, and cultivates lasting relationships among team members. As we pursue success, it's crucial to acknowledge the human element intrinsic to leadership. Emotional intelligence is not a mere "nice-to-have" attribute; it's an absolute necessity. Begin by forging a profound connection with yourself, as Tim wisely emphasized. Allow these principles to shape you into the kind of leader you aspire to be. It's worth noting that leadership isn't solely about tactics and strategies—while these are valuable, they require a foundation of character, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence for sustained success.

If you aspire to create lasting, positive change, it necessitates a deeper and more enriching approach. We firmly believe that emotional intelligence is the key. We extend our gratitude for joining us on this journey. Always remember that emotional intelligence serves as the gateway to compassion, drive, authenticity, collaboration, and a profound connection with humanity—a formula for your workforce's success and a brighter future. It's not just a key to increased revenue but also to maintaining the exceptional workplace, you aspire to create.

Welcome to another episode of Evolve Leadership Podcast. Our guest is Michael Stelzner. He's the founder and CEO of Social Media Examiner and the host of one of the marketing industry's largest conferences called Social Media Marketing World in San Diego and he's also the host of the Social Media Marketing podcast. Together, we will be diving into the whole concept of the growth mindset. Let's dive right into the interview!

[4:00] Can you describe your leadership approach back in 2019 and some of the obstacles you encountered?

Back in 2019, the business was performing reasonably well. We noticed a gradual decline in the social media marketing industry, signifying a reduced interest in social marketing. This made it necessary for me to put in more effort to achieve the same outcomes. Consequently, I was working long hours and feeling quite stretched. I had a sizable team, but I sensed that they weren't fully committed to the cause. Back then, I had around 65 people working for me on a full-time and part-time basis. While the business was fairly successful, certain aspects were deteriorating for me. The empire I had built since 2009 was becoming harder to manage. The pressure was mounting as I had been riding the social wave for many years. Concurrently, my three daughters were growing older, with one about to head off to college and the others moving closer to leaving the house. These circumstances led me to contemplate my commitments - to my wife, my business, and my customers. Trying to reconcile it all was weighing me down as an entrepreneur. Then, things took an unexpected turn. Initially, we believed it would only last a few weeks, assuming it wouldn't be a significant issue to overcome.

[9:26] Could you take us back to that period and illustrate how the effects of the business venture began to unfold?

Initially, I informed my staff about the situation, stating that it would likely be a short-term affair, maybe lasting three months. I advised everyone to be cautious and play it safe. I had my office staff work remotely since we were not allowed to be in the office. However, I continued to use the office because my landlord wasn't willing to provide any lease concessions. Being there alone turned out to be beneficial, offering me a mental escape. With my family, I discussed preparing for the worst - stocking up on essentials like toilet paper and other necessities. I even recorded emergency podcasts discussing crisis management, drawing from my experiences during events like 9/11, Y2K, and past financial crises. I proactively made wise decisions by canceling some ongoing promotions, recognizing the need to be supportive of the community. To aid my team, I provided a $1,000 emergency bonus to each member, even though some were hesitant to accept. I assured them they would require it, and this decision was instrumental in helping us navigate the challenges. We collectively decided to weather the storm and as a result, shifted to remote work. Despite its complexities, the situation had a silver lining; it brought me closer to my family. This experience taught many of us the significance of halting the usual business hustle and provided an opportunity for me to focus on mindset and future planning.

[11:40] You opted for strategic hires. Could you explain how that decision was made and provide some details on the process?

Undoubtedly, the pandemic extended beyond a short-term situation. As we progressed, I confronted the question of how to endure it. I had to anticipate the possibility of not being able to hold our conference. Unfortunately, this turned out to be the case due to the San Diego Convention Center being repurposed as a homeless shelter. Our conference, initially scheduled for March 2021, had no feasible venue. Although we managed to exit our contracts, the downside was losing millions in revenue. To navigate this challenge, we adopted a highly creative approach. We envisioned a new future and evaluated my role to determine what I should discontinue. For the longest time, I had been responsible for all writing due to my background as a copywriter. Eventually, we hired a skilled copywriter, even after our office had reopened. She relocated to San Diego and seamlessly integrated into the team, relieving me of copywriting duties. The transition had its challenges, given our differing perspectives, but it marked a liberating shift as we strategically expanded our team to delegate tasks I had traditionally handled.

[14:05] With newfound time, margin, and additional opportunities like speaking engagements and revenue generation, what changes did you experience?

Our innovation skyrocketed due to my dual nature as a creative and operational thinker. As I've previously mentioned, my creativity thrives when addressing challenges. This need triggered a surge in product development. We introduced novel offerings like the Social Strategy Club and a course titled "Becoming Well-Known." While these initiatives didn't pan out, they provided invaluable learning experiences. We generated idea after idea, including the launch of Social Media Marketing Workshops as a substitute for our conference. Amidst a prevailing trend of brief online training sessions, we deviated by offering two-hour workshops featuring 14 presenters, an unconventional move. Attendees were given the choice to either receive a refund for their conference tickets or secure a free pass for next year's event along with the workshop access.

This approach, however, had its challenges. With my swift idea conception and execution, chaos emerged for our operationally-oriented team members tasked with implementation. While innovation was crucial to me, it unintentionally resulted in upheaval for others. The consequences were evident, leading to staff departures during a period of widespread job turnover. While some necessary exits occurred, we also lost valuable team members. This realization prompted me to recognize the importance of balancing ideation and execution. My perspective has evolved, finding the equilibrium between generating ideas and effectively bringing them to fruition. If you'd like, we can delve deeper into this topic.

[27:00] What are some simple or straightforward methods that can assist individuals in moving away from the dominant Alpha style?

It's not uncommon for individuals like us, with alpha personalities, to not frequently interact with other alphas. We tend to fuel each other's drive. While I've advised entrepreneurs and shared my insights, my uniqueness lies in embracing both creativity and operations. This balance allows me to connect effectively with my team, which consists of leaders who oversee their groups. Over the years, this evolution has been positively received, with them expressing that I've transformed into a great boss. In conversations, I've learned to begin by checking in on their well-being, understanding their stressors, and acknowledging their concerns before addressing specific issues. Often, these dialogues delve into deeper conversations that provide them a space to express themselves. Although my initial intent might be focused on addressing problems, I've realized that being a sounding board is just as important. This shift has led to comments like, "You're an amazing boss" and gratitude for being an attentive listener.

[31:25] As things have expanded, how has the process of stepping back from the alpha role and gaining a new perspective through coaching influenced you?

In the initial stages, change was somewhat uncomfortable, especially for someone like me who doesn't easily embrace it. However, as time went on, I found this journey to be incredibly rewarding. Being a Founder and CEO with a substantial team, finding individuals to share concerns with objectively, and advocate on my behalf was rare. A coach fills that role perfectly by providing encouragement, corrections, and guidance, which I've never had before. This has proven to be extremely fulfilling. Our weekly interactions have yielded numerous exciting ideas and projects that often emerge from our discussions. Your presence and input have consistently sparked these creative bursts, leading to actionable plans. This process is both invigorating and valuable. While I might not fully grasp the extent of the ripple effect, I'm well aware of its considerable impact.

[33:25] How has this shift in priorities impacted your relationships with your daughters, wife, and aspects like date nights?

I glanced down at the ground, holding a Father's Day card from one of my daughters. While I won't read it aloud, its contents are heartwarming. At 18, she acknowledges the kind of father I've been and expresses gratitude. This sentiment holds immense value, particularly because I once feared being absent, like in the "Cat in the Cradle" song, where the roles reverse and the father isn't present. This outcome was something I actively worked against, striving for close relationships with my kids. Despite their understanding that there are times not to disturb me, we maintain strong communication. The absence of regrets is apparent. I firmly believe that it's never too late to strengthen bonds with loved ones, including kids and spouses. Reflecting on this, my wife and I have introduced regular date nights, a change brought about by our collaboration. This shift has increased her happiness and enriched our relationship. As a result, I can confidently say that our work together has had a substantial impact on both my personal life and business.

[34:55] As we wrap up, is there a particular thought, quote, or concept that you feel encapsulates everything for you?

I've internalized the notion of "What does this make possible?" that you've imprinted in my mind. This idea urges us to consider the potential outcomes of our actions. For instance, how does anything we do pave the way for possibilities? Decide to enlist a coach—what does it enable me to achieve? It allowed not just the survival of the business, but also cultivated stronger relationships with both my team and family. It created avenues for various prospects that I might not have fully comprehended yet.

In addition, every challenge I encounter, even those beyond my control, acts as a catalyst for new opportunities. An imminent endeavor, something significant which you're familiar with but I can't disclose, stems from past ventures that didn't succeed and issues I faced. This growth mindset has grown from the struggles we've encountered over the years, providing us with the knowledge to embark on our next journey. These experiences have laid the foundation for what's to come, and this forthcoming venture ranks among the most thrilling undertakings we've ever pursued. This phrase, "What does this make possible?", has become my guiding principle across all aspects of life. It encourages me to delve into the potential outcomes in every situation.

Welcome to another episode of Evolve Leadership podcast. No matter the reason, procrastination steals our time, potential, and peace. But today, we're fighting back. We're digging into why we delay things, and most importantly, how to stop. So, let's go on this adventure together. Get ready to uncover the twists and turns of this challenge, not to get lost, but to find your way. Welcome to this episode about The Subtle Art of Getting Sh*t Done

[4:00] Have you ever experienced procrastination in your life?

I'm not familiar with what you're discussing. It's not something that I've experienced personally. When aiming to elevate our business relationships or achieve new goals, we frequently encounter resistance. It seems as if certain circumstances arise to push us back into our previous comfort zones. Additionally, I sometimes find myself grappling with a fixed mindset. This mindset stands in stark contrast to a growth-oriented one. For instance, there are times when I find myself repeating the same actions while expecting different outcomes, or believing that adhering to past practices is the only way forward. These convictions stifle innovation and curtail our ability to adapt and expand. In light of this, I've noticed that procrastination can take hold when confronted with change, a process that often demands more from us.

[10:00] What makes this conversation impactful is: How can we begin taking those steps right now?

The power of this conversation lies in how we can begin implementing those important actions now. The question becomes: how can we foresee the consequences of not acting on these significant matters? This reminds me of something Tony Robbins talks about that greatly resonated with me. He has this powerful exercise where he takes you on a journey into your future self. He asks you to envision where you'll be a year from now, five years from now, ten years from now, and even thirty years from now if you persist in maintaining your current path. The exercise delves into the potential pain of remaining stagnant. As you go through it, you start to realize that the resistance you're feeling towards making necessary changes in various aspects of your life – whether in your business, marriage, interactions with your kids, or others – will likely lead to even more profound pain down the road. This exercise links back to a business concept called opportunity cost. It's about recognizing the opportunities you might be missing out on because you're hesitant to take action. Some of these opportunities may extend into relational aspects, like how you're building your team or the impact your demeanor has on your team's dynamics. Are you inadvertently intimidating or shutting down others? Do you find yourself consistently on edge or irritable? Even these personal behaviors can have long-term repercussions. When you reverse engineer many business decisions, you'll find that they often trace back to leadership and how leaders manage their own lives. The procrastination they experience personally can often manifest in the workplace. It's quite fascinating to observe how these dynamics play out.

[12:45] What are the reasons we procrastinate?

Let's delve into this list. Starting with perfectionism, often linked to fear of failure. The apprehension of not meeting high standards can lead to procrastination. The belief that if we can't be perfect, we won't even try. A growth mindset counters this, valuing progress over perfection, and seeing errors as learning steps. Moving on to "B plus consistency outperforms A plus

inconsistency." Initially baffling, especially for those valuing excellence. But embracing growth means being content with a B plus initially, refining over time. James Clear's two-minute rule suggests immediately addressing tasks taking less than two minutes, known as "The Whippet." Overwhelm, particularly concerning high-stakes decisions, arises as business scales. However, nurturing a "progress over perfection" culture can alleviate pressure. Remember, you're equipped for tough choices. Overcoming overwhelm involves breaking down tasks and involving others for diverse perspectives. For those who self-inflict confusion, consider if it's an avoidance tactic. Involve others, dissect tasks, and regain clarity. Embrace a growth mindset, prioritize progress, and use strategies like the two-minute rule and involving others to counter procrastination. It's possible to navigate challenges effectively without succumbing to overwhelm or confusion.

[15:00] How to combat procrastination?

I practice all of that, and at times, it's more successful than others. But right now, in this season, I've noticed that some of these tactics seem to drag me down. It's a realization I've had. I've also deliberately blocked off all my coaching calls until the afternoon, for pretty much the same reason. See, my mornings are when my creativity and productivity peak, so I guard that time fiercely. I get all my work done in the morning, and then in the afternoon, when my brain's a bit more fatigued, I find it easier to engage in conversations. There's a shift, it's not deep thinking, now it's more about genuinely connecting with my clients. By the way, I've developed some little strategies to help me focus. I take notes and use this little fidget tool I have. It's like a personal touch that helps me stay tuned in during coaching sessions. Over time, I've realized that these things act as coping mechanisms or experimental methods, and now I know they work wonders for me. As part of my routine, I don't schedule coaching calls on Mondays. It's a day I reserve for tackling business-related tasks. Similarly, I try my best to keep Fridays flexible. It's sort of my catch-all day. If a client needs to reschedule or something comes up, I can shift them to Friday. And Mondays, I purposely avoid client calls for the same reason – I've learned this is my day for handling business matters. It's when I clear my plate of the things that would otherwise add to potential procrastination.

[25:43] 20% of what we do is responsible for the majority of our success. Now, the question is: How can you offload that remaining 80%? Can you delegate those tasks or even hire someone to handle the small details, the trivial stuff, or the things that drain your energy?

Within my journal, I jot down a concise list of two or three essential tasks for the day. Achieving those is my victory, and anything beyond that is a bonus. This method aids me in sorting out priorities – identifying those must-do tasks. It might be two things or perhaps one significant task. Regardless, this approach ensures continuous advancement and the ability to make necessary decisions and adjustments. In the end, progress is achieved, and tasks are accomplished.

Welcome to Evolve Leadership, where we dive deep into the intriguing world of time and its impact on our lives. We explore the delicate balance between the demanding nature of the grind and the positive momentum it brings.

[3:45] How has the struggle for validation, accolades, and more unfolded in your life?

Since I was 16 years old, my life has been all about pursuing more, and now at 54, I've started to figure things out. After a tumultuous journey filled with ups, downs, and twists, I've come to realize that my previous path wasn't truly fulfilling, even though it appeared successful to the outside world. It caused me to lose things I never wanted to let go of. Now, I see things with greater clarity and find peace in my life. I believe this journey of self-discovery is lifelong, but I'm currently in the best place I've been in over 30 years. I've learned to embrace every experience, even the struggles, as lessons that have shaped my story. My background took me from the UK into the media world, working with a record company and pursuing music as a frontman for a band, particularly with The Mission. However, my hunger for success brought its challenges.

[10:40] What were some of the challenges, inner demons, or unfortunate circumstances that arose from having such a relentless hunger?

I believed the other side of life was distant and didn't experience many mind-blowing moments. I thought meeting my partner's needs was enough, living in a beautiful home with horses on a five-acre property. Yet, my job kept me away, and what she truly wanted was my presence. Retirement never crossed my mind; I was solely focused on fulfilling my role and didn't consider life beyond it. Today, we remain great friends, and I appreciate the memories, but I've come to realize there could have been more to life than just my job.

[12:41] Can you unpack a little about your journey?

During that moment, I had a significant realization about my role in a relationship as a provider. It tapped into the primal nature of men, the urge to go out, hunt, and gather. Back then, emotional maturity and other important aspects weren't given much attention. It was all about survival and being strong in the eyes of others. I felt like a fierce animal, ready to conquer, driven by a tangible goal that resonated with my sense of duty as a man. It was a simple reminder of my purpose, and I embraced it wholeheartedly. My laser focus on that role made me effective in my jobs, even though I might have been a disaster in other aspects of life. At the time, that was all I thought anyone cared about, and so I went all in. My appearance was a reflection of my intense pursuit of my purpose. While my hair was white, my heart and soul were engulfed in the intensity of my mission, akin to darkness symbolized by blackness. It was a time when the complexities of emotional depth took a backseat, and I defined myself through my ability to provide and succeed in my work.

[14:30] What were some of your expectations about what lay on the other side of achieving that goal?

I used to believe that there was no other side to life beyond what I was living. I focused on providing everything she wanted and needed, and we lived in a beautiful home with two horses, seemingly a dream come true. However, my job kept me away from home five days a week, and she longed for my presence more than anything else. Retirement never crossed my mind; I thought this was my purpose and identity. I didn't consider what else life had to offer beyond being a provider. Despite the challenges, she's a great person, and we remain close friends to this day. At the time, I never thought beyond my job, but looking back, I realize there could have been more to life than just fulfilling my role as a provider.

[17:25] What aspects of your leadership have you refined to strike a balance between pursuing more and enabling your team to be more effective and efficient?

My journey as a leader wasn't about getting good at it over time, but rather out of necessity. I was driven by the fear of failure, which led me to hold on tightly to everything. Despite having some essential leadership traits, emotional maturity, and stability were lacking. As I progressed, the pressure mounted, and I nearly reached a breaking point, both personally and professionally. My relationships with people were affected, and I earned harsh nicknames as a boss. However, I knew something had to change; otherwise, I'd lose everything. I had to let go of my fear-driven approach and learn that failure is a part of growth and improvement. This realization helped me become a more compassionate leader, accepting that people can fail as long as they learn from their mistakes. One of my biggest regrets was not having kids, as work consumed my life, leaving little room for personal experiences. I understood the need for a different path to avoid becoming a broken man in the long run. Through this journey, I've transformed into a leader, husband, and person. Emotional growth has become essential, and I strive to be a better version of myself, embracing the lessons from both successes and failures.

[21:22] At what point in your leadership journey or career did it become a necessity to confront the possibility of burnout and breakdown?

Asking for help doesn't make you weak or lacking in willpower; that's just a superficial fallacy. We all need help at times, and it's completely normal. Thankfully, the evolution of men's attitudes has allowed us to be more open and accepting of seeking assistance. It's wonderful to see that future generations won't have to suffer as we did, and they will likely be even smarter as they embrace the importance of seeking help when needed. Let's break free from the outdated notion that asking for help diminishes our strength and instead encourage a supportive and compassionate society where seeking assistance is seen as a sign of growth and self-awareness.

[22:48] What are some pieces of advice or insights you would share with someone, pulling them aside and putting an arm around them, to let them know what they need to understand?

There's a part of me that feels like it's all over, and there won't be anything else. But looking back, I realize that life always has something else in store for us. I can share this insight with others to offer comfort during their challenging moments. The initial hits can be the most painful because they're unfamiliar and come with intense emotions. It's hard to imagine that things could ever be different or that people would see us the same way again. We might have been on top of the world, but suddenly, it feels like we've lost everything. When someone expresses their struggles, I can't help but grin and offer a shallow laugh, knowing all too well what they're going through. However, I also understand that it's part of the process. The first hits are the hardest, and it takes time to let the emotions sink in. We need to allow ourselves the time to process and go through the experience fully.

Welcome to Evolve Leadership Podcast, where we dive deep into the intriguing world of time and its impact on our lives. We explore the delicate balance between the demanding nature of the grind and the positive momentum it brings.

In the last episode, we talked about burnout and also debunked some of the lies we tell ourselves. Today, we will be discussing seven things you can do to decrease your possibility of going into burnout. Follow closely.

[5:04] You are not alone

A recent Deloitte study revealed that nearly 70% of C-suite executives are seriously considering leaving their current positions to find jobs that prioritize their well-being. Surprisingly, 81% of C-suite executives stated that improving their well-being was more important than advancing their careers, indicating a significant shift in priorities among high-performing individuals. This shift in focus on well-being is not uncommon. Many high performers find themselves caught in perpetual seasons of overworking, leading to exhaustion, mental strain, and physical health issues. For some, this pressure to achieve success can lead to negative self-talk and feelings of vulnerability and weakness, even for those who pride themselves on their mental toughness.

The pressure to prove oneself and the fear of failure can cause individuals to carry the weight of their responsibilities alone, neglecting their well-being and personal relationships. However, recognizing the signs of burnout and seeking support and help are crucial steps in preventing further damage.

[10:45] What are some of the reasons why some guys stay at it when they are experiencing burnout?

One major factor is the sense of responsibility. Many of us are driven by a strong mission, putting it first even at the expense of our own well-being and that of our families. There's a sense of obligation towards our businesses, employees, and stakeholders, often prioritizing these over ourselves. Fear of failure is another significant factor. We fear that if we take our foot off the gas, we might fail, so we keep pushing forward relentlessly. Perfectionism plays a role too; we believe we can't do things half-heartedly, and pulling back might imply that. Financial obligations come into play, as we need to support our families and teams. There's also the fear of being replaced, whether by a competitor or by the board if we can't meet expectations. Moreover, many high-achievers face a limited support system. As men, we often feel the need to tough it out without showing any weakness. We fear that sharing our struggles might be weaponized against us or burden others. So, we end up bottling up the stress, which can become unbearable over time.

[17:25] Seven things you can do in the face of burnout

Number one is to prioritize self-care. It's non-negotiable, man. Find what rejuvenates you, whether it's sleep, exercise, or your favorite hobbies. For me, hitting the weights in my home gym during my journey was a game-changer. It released all the pressure, like a pressure release valve on a boiler. So whatever gives you life, make it a non-negotiable part of your routine.

Next up is setting boundaries. Establish clear lines between work and personal life. Setting such firm boundaries may feel hard, but it protects what truly matters in your life and prevents overworking, which leads to overwhelm.

Number three: delegate and collaborate. As a business owner, you have the secret sauce, and it's tough to let go of the things that made your company great. But learning to delegate and train others can be a game-changer.

Number four is all about practicing time management. It's not just about protecting your time from unnecessary tasks but also finding ways to batch similar activities. Consider scheduling meetings at specific times of the day or even dedicating a whole day for them.

Number five, cultivate a strong support network. As guys, we often want to handle everything on our own and avoid sharing our struggles. But having colleagues, friends, mentors, or therapists to confide in can be incredibly valuable. Opening up and sharing your challenges with others can provide essential perspective and guidance. Sometimes, someone else has been through a similar situation and can offer invaluable advice on how to navigate through it.

Sixth, mindfulness and stress management techniques play a vital role in maintaining your well-being. Meditation, breathwork, and stress-relief practices like tapping can make a big impact in helping you stay centered and grounded amidst the challenges of high-performance life.

Number seven is regularly assessing and aligning with your values. Often, when we start a business or pursue a career, we have specific goals in mind, such as providing a better life for our family or creating more opportunities for them. However, over time, we may find ourselves drifting away from those initial intentions. To prevent this from happening, it's essential to take moments of introspection and reflection. Pause and evaluate if your actions, decisions, and priorities align with your core values and the original purpose you set out to achieve.

[27:00] The path to freedom

If you effectively apply these seven things, your possibility of going into burnout will decrease. So I urge you to take a moment to reflect on what we've discussed and listen to your body, mind and soul.

Welcome to Evolve Leadership Podcast, where we dive deep into the intriguing world of time and its impact on our lives.We explore the delicate balance between the demanding nature of the grind and the positive momentum it brings.

Join us as we unravel the truths and misconceptions surrounding the grind and its sustainability in the long run. We'll share personal experiences and insights that have shaped leaders, including ourselves, and examine the challenges faced when progress becomes synonymous with burnout.

Discover how to break free from the leash of constant demands and find strategic thinking, fostering meaningful relationships, and long-term planning amidst the pressures of day-to-day firefighting. Unravel the secrets of untangling the sacrifices made in the wrong areas of life and the lies we tell ourselves about compensating for lost time.

We'll debunk the myth of working harder for success and explore the paradox of "less effort" leading to greater achievements in various aspects of life. Let's redefine success and prioritize high-impact activities to transform our leadership approach for meaningful progress.

[2:40] Have you ever had conversations about time?

I have personally experienced both the demanding nature of the grind and the positive momentum gained from it. However, I must admit that the grind can be extremely draining and depleting. Let me put it this way: while the grind may offer short-term advantages, it is not a sustainable approach in the long run. Eventually, everything starts to fall apart around you. That's why I'm particularly excited about this conversation, as I believe that many of the experiences that have brought leaders, including ourselves, to where we are today have involved a certain degree of grinding. However, as we continue to progress and strive to reach new heights, we realize that the sustainability aspect fades away, leading us to become stuck or face challenges such as deteriorating health, strained relationships, and frustrated team members who question our decisions. It's disconcerting, and we often find ourselves wondering what went wrong. Therefore, I believe that taking a step back, as you mentioned, and thoroughly examining the underlying issues is crucial.

[5:12] How can someone take a step back and not burn out?

It's as if there's a constant sinking feeling that you're not meeting the demands, and even when you attempt to rest, a sense of guilt creeps in, making you feel lazy. You know you should keep pushing forward, continuously striving. However, instead of effectively managing your business, it feels like your business is controlling you. It's akin to being a dog on a leash, constantly pulled in various directions, rather than being in a leadership position. Strategic thinking, long-term planning, and fostering meaningful relationships with team members all seem distant when you're solely focused on completing tasks and dealing with urgent issues. It becomes challenging to navigate and gain perspective when you're deeply immersed in the day-to-day challenges and pressures of firefighting.

[9:50] What are some of the ways of getting some of these things entangled?

Often, we make sacrifices in the wrong areas of our lives. You may have heard me mention this before, but it's about the confusion between what brings us pleasure and what causes us pain. We mix up the two, thinking that if we engage in certain activities, we'll experience pleasure afterward. However, when we discipline our time, set boundaries, or establish calendar blocks, we fear that we'll miss out on other enjoyable things, leading to perceived pain. What we fail to understand is that the actions we perceive as painful actually create opportunities for numerous other things, which we'll discuss in more detail later. The problem lies in the fact that we confuse pleasure and pain, and in doing so, we make sacrifices in the wrong areas. We end up sacrificing relationships, health, time, and fulfillment.

[12:30] What are some of the lies that we tell ourselves?

Many times, we fall into the trap of believing that we're currently in the grind and can compensate for lost time later. Unfortunately, this mindset often leads to a perpetual state of grinding in the long term, and the idea of making up for lost time becomes a false promise. It's impossible to regain the moments we've missed once we become estranged from our children, finalize a divorce, or face severe health issues. The notion of making up for lost time is a lie exposed by these circumstances. How can we truly enjoy the things that matter and create a fulfilling life that leads to long-term success if we continue to believe in the grind's false promise? It doesn't work, and it's flawed. Furthermore, we tend to fall into the pattern of saying, "When I reach a certain milestone or goal, then I'll prioritize my health or personal well-being." For example, we may convince ourselves that once we secure funding, we'll make time for our health or exercise. However, this becomes a perpetual lie we tell ourselves. We keep postponing self-care, falsely believing that we'll close our laptops and focus on other aspects of our lives once we reach a particular milestone, such as securing funding.

[14:20] Can you discuss common misconceptions among business owners?

There's a common misconception that the more we work, the more successful we'll become. We convince ourselves that through sheer willpower and extraordinary efforts across all levels, we can bring success into existence. We believe that the intensity of our performance and the energy we exert will directly determine our level of success. However, reality doesn't align with this belief. There's a quote by Bruce Lee, which I can look up for you, that highlights the concept of "less effort." This paradox is often misunderstood. Sometimes, the less we strive or exert ourselves excessively for something, the easier it is to attain. When it comes to love, communication, and connection, for instance, less striving often yields better results. It's similar to the analogy someone once shared with me about life being like a game of golf— the harder you try, the worse you perform.

[24:00] How can you make use of your time efficiently and effectively?

Let's get to the heart of the matter—the hours we dedicate to our workweek. Research suggests that CEOs and executives put in an average of 62.5 hours per week. But are these hours spent effectively? Often, we find ourselves engaged in tasks that don't align with our strengths or could be delegated to others. We overlook crucial leadership activities, neglecting our own growth and the development of our teams. The constant grind of sales calls, travel, events, and content creation keeps us busy but doesn't always lead to meaningful progress. However, by prioritizing high-impact activities, we can transform our leadership approach. This involves empowering our teams, setting boundaries, and fostering a collaborative culture that encourages creativity and innovation. When we allocate time to what truly drives our business forward, we become better communicators and leaders.

[35:20] What are some of the key practices that people can incorporate?

The first one is mindfulness and meditation. Now, I understand that some individuals, like myself, may naturally have a skeptical outlook on anything that seems even remotely associated with spirituality or mysticism. We often crave practicality and tangible results. However, what makes mindfulness and meditation so powerful is the ability to pause, create whitespace, and cultivate stillness amidst the chaos. It allows us to quiet the noise and access a deeper level of clarity. Interestingly, some of our best ideas and insights don't emerge when we're glued to our desks or laptops, but rather during moments of contemplation, such as taking a walk or engaging in meditation. It's about stepping back, regaining perspective, and emerging with a calmer, more centered mindset.

Tune in as we explore mindfulness and meditation, empowering you to create whitespace amidst chaos, access deeper clarity, and unleash creativity. Together, we'll make the most of our time, efficiently and effectively, to become better communicators and leaders.

Are you ready to reclaim control of your time and pave the path to long-term success? Join us in these eye-opening conversations that examine time like never before. Subscribe now to Evolve Leadership Podcast, and let's embark on this journey of growth and enlightenment together!

[7:00] What does the experience of working at the four companies plus time at Oracle look or feel like, briefly?

My journey can be summarized as a progression from seeking external approval to finding approval within myself. In my first company, despite a challenging background, I hustled and achieved success, which had a profound impact on my life. With my second business, I experienced recognition and lived a glamorous lifestyle, akin to what I had seen in music videos. The third company brought new challenges, but I persevered, feeling the need to prove myself in a larger arena. Reflecting on my experiences, I realized my strengths in setting and achieving goals, but also recognized the importance of personal growth and introspection. This led me to seek therapy, open up to my partner, and engage with like-minded individuals. When I started my fourth business, I aimed to create social impact, serving underserved learners and promoting human-centered principles. Despite the difficulties, this venture has been the most fulfilling, as it combines education and disrupting the system to empower individuals in sales roles.

[14:55] What would you say to the disruption side? What kind of friction did you face?

There are three lenses or dimensions to consider when answering this question. First, from the perspective of employers, we aimed to drive change by having them not just buy into our vision but actively lead the transformation. It involved convincing them to move away from the traditional approach of neglecting training and focusing on easily attainable goals. We wanted them to recognize the potential of diverse talent and be comfortable embracing different ways of achieving success. Second, we focused on job seekers, helping them see the value of investing in training for more fulfilling outcomes. We wanted to bridge the gap between the challenging nature of sales jobs and the long-term benefits they could offer, even for those from underserved communities. Third, assessment played a crucial role in sustaining the transformation. It involved continuously evaluating the development of human-centered skills to ensure the effectiveness of our programs. While challenging, it was a vital component of the overall process. Going forward, I aim to address internal factors within the education program and company culture to further enhance our mission.

[20:15] How do the 15 commitments of conscious leaders influence our work, especially in the context of entry-level sales in a highly competitive business environment?

The 15 commitments of conscious leaders, which have greatly influenced our work, particularly highlight two commitments: 100% responsibility and curiosity. These commitments are both universally applicable and crucial for success in entry-level sales within a highly competitive business environment. Taking 100% responsibility means acknowledging that external factors may influence outcomes, but focusing on personal accountability, and seeking ways to improve. Instead of blaming external circumstances, individuals must reflect on their preparation, research, and activity levels to adapt to changing situations. The second commitment, curiosity, involves detaching from the need to be right and embracing a mindset of exploration. In interpersonal dynamics, it means being open to different perspectives and challenging assumptions. For instance, in the face of challenges or economic downturns, adopting a curious mindset allows individuals to find hidden opportunities or gifts within the circumstances. By embodying these commitments, our community at SP Academy fosters personal growth and adaptive thinking, enabling individuals to navigate the complexities of the business world with resilience and fluidity.

[26:13] Where are the moments when you've had to dig deep or hit a wall of challenges, and how do you see yourself in those challenging moments?

Between companies three and four, I underwent a significant transformation along the lines of a particular theme. My third company was incredibly successful and highly regarded in the cloud industry. However, when evaluating the outcome, I realized it was good but not great. This led me to question what went wrong. Some of my competitors achieved tremendous success with a similar product and approach. Initially, I fell into a victim mindset, blaming external factors such as investors, board members, market changes, or hiring decisions. I found myself trapped in a loop of victimhood, constantly telling myself these stories. To break free from this cycle, I had to shift from my mind to my body. I began to notice how my body felt when I dwelled in victimhood. The stories I told myself felt intellectually comforting but left me feeling uneasy in my physical being. This realization prompted me to desire a different experience. By tuning into my body's sensations, I acknowledged the discomfort and tension that came with the victim mentality. I made a conscious decision to pursue a different path, one that prioritized a more positive and fulfilling state. This realization marked the beginning of a transformative journey that gradually unfolded over time.

[29:50] Who is the guy on the screen now compared to the former naive guy?

When reflecting on my journey across the four startups, I began by discussing the shift in sourcing approval, which I equate with love. Initially, I sought approval externally, but over time, I have progressed towards sourcing it from within myself. Examining who I was five and a half years ago and how I have grown as a leader, I acknowledge my significant progress. However, this progress has also revealed the vast potential for further growth and expansion. My vision for a fulfilling and vibrant life has expanded beyond mere financial achievements. It encompasses the energy and life force I bring to each day, regardless of the challenges presented by the world. Notably, becoming a parent has profoundly transformed me, and seeking help from a psychiatrist during the transition between my third and fourth companies was instrumental in this evolution. The person you see before you now is not only on a journey to redefine the source of love but also holds a grander vision for personal growth and sees countless possibilities for making a meaningful impact in this life.

[34:03] What is the thing that you would want to tell the guy who is head down, working hard, and lacking in leadership?

I would say, are you truly acknowledging the extensive potential and possibilities that await you by embracing a different way of being? Change typically occurs through two means: expanding one's vision or experiencing heightened costs. Many individuals, including my mentor, excelled in various aspects externally, but internally, I strive to avoid becoming that person. Suppose you are currently listening to this audio or podcast. In that case, I urge you not to wait until discomfort becomes overwhelming, such as from physical ailments or the loss of a loved one, before taking the necessary steps toward the changes you already know are crucial. To assist you on this journey, I believe it is essential to tune into the genuine consequences of not making a change. While we often associate opportunity costs with business concepts like growth, innovation, and investment, we frequently overlook the opportunity costs related to not connecting with our internal source of love. I often emphasize that our greatest struggle lies in compensating for the feeling of unworthiness or inadequacy.

This show is for you, the top-performing leaders. You are the founder, executive, or entrepreneur who faces unique challenges in an ever-shifting leadership landscape. This show is about how to rest, chill, and create margin, space, and a better sense of well-being.

Consistent bedtime routine - The term recreation is about creating ourselves despite the responsibilities and workload but recharging and turning out from unnecessary stress and all the negative stuff. How we should rest and go even faster in the future is essential. Some think, “If I don’t do anything, I’m worthless.” But it is ok for you to have some time to lie down. You should permit yourself to relax. After having a quality rest, you can have a series of good ideas and possibilities coming to your mind. Therefore, rest a while and recreate yourself. Rest is productive. It’s like a bow and arrow; when you pull the needle and strain it, you may feel like you are going backward. But relaxation will launch you forward with much more velocity the following day since your mind is clear and your body is ready. Making that margin makes magic happen. It gives you the ability to have better clarity, objectivity, and the possibility to reach new goals and tackle challenges. According to experts, 20 minutes power nap is excellent for focusing effectively. You can recreate yourself by redirecting your effort, focus, and values toward rest.

Suppose you are in a place where you cannot turn off your work. In that case, it affects you physiologically and psychologically and has another negative impacts like poor sleep, work-family conflict, and psychosomatic symptoms. Psychosomatic symptoms are like being overactive, over energetic and can be habitual. These symptoms spill into your coping mechanisms, behavior patterns, and overly focused-perfectionism. Although we may feel massive business success, reduced job satisfaction, life satisfaction, and work performance will always prevail without the essential rest. Since your life is only centered around work, you gradually start to miss your meals, and nothing is felt about missing them. However, after some time, your body starts showing symptoms like high blood pressure and cholesterol.

The elements you need regularly to protect your life, your family life, and your well-being should be focussed. Any overused strength becomes a weakness. Therefore, unless you turn it off or don’t let it go without getting a rest, you will eventually get anxiety, stress, burnout, and all negative things.

Practice mindfulness - Bedtime routines are good. Taking a walk or reading a book will slow your brain down. Meditation can be practiced as a daily habit. You can relax your body and mind through guided meditation. Tapping on specific body parts like the head and eyebrows can be effective.

Scheduling fun- Most of the great ideas come to mind while participating in something other than the work. So the concept of mindfulness is essential while enjoying the moment. Creating time for fun with the community while sharing your thoughts, experiences, and life will help you to connect with people.

Thinking time – Scheduling time for dreaming and wondering about possibilities in life is essential. When trying to solve a problem, you’re choking off an opportunity and creativity. Music and a stimulating atmosphere are essential. You can write whatever comes to your head and dive back to your work refreshed.

You can put your mobile phone aside and use certain apps to demotivate you from using it for a while. Through doing that, you can motivate and persuade your kids to use their mobile phones less frequently. Having a “me time” and being able to do that is life-giving. Having a creative hobby releases the pressure and freshens up the mind. Having a trusted third party or a friend who can speak the truth about life and share everything is in the best interest of anyone can have. Seeking support for mental health is a real problem. Being mentally strong is critical when getting into a new place. Having a genuine and honest conversation with a trusted person regarding the situation may be the one you are looking for. He can give you more constructive ideas to make your life easier and more relaxed. If you need to seek support and then you need to set guardrails, you have an infinite power to determine what you want to do in your day. You have the ability. If you feel trapped and have to discuss with your team and delegate, or you are the bottleneck of your company, you will become a workaholic. Your leadership may be tweaked. The way you’re leading may be creating your challenges and problems. But if you give yourself the time and margin, you can see your problems objectively. We can make ways to have the rest be a weapon in the hands of the busy. We can provide strategic, productive recreation to become better leaders, fathers, and partners to our loved ones. We can design the life we want. Give yourself a rest; give yourself freedom. Make your life easier and more satisfying through well-deserved rest.

This podcast is targeting high performing leaders like you to achieve your goals successfully without being stagnant in your current position. The expectation of the show is to create a clear and honest conversation by interviewing the individuals who have a fascinating perspective on how they approach their leadership. The previous show which focused on the business world and was hosted by Angus Nelson has been rebranded to the “Evolve Leadership” program, hosted by both Angus Nelson and Timm McLagan.

There are a number of different issues which need to be addressed and tackled within the leadership world today.

Leadership can be a lonely place. Your team cannot understand the problems you have, your neighbors don't know the pressure you are holding, your family cannot have the conversations you need to move you ahead. The more successful you are, more isolated you can become.

This program was created to support great leaders, like you, with real conversations that will matter to your business and lives. This is the best place for you to hear about challenges, issues and thoughts that will help you evolve your leadership and create a successful business.

Traits of a successful leader

Taking actions

A successful leader comprises with several traits. The first and foremost trait is the taking necessary actions when needed. To inspire an ambitious man or to bet on yourself you need to take actions appropriately. How to and when to take appropriate actions should be practiced wisely. Running a business more effectively, efficiently and profitably with growing up in the market is very critical to succeed in any kind of business. That would be an added pressure on the shoulders of the leaders as it includes the process of team building and talent creation. Although the leaders have to navigate the business correctly, you cannot do each and every thing by your selves. If you think you are capable of doing everything alone, it means your workforce is already scarce and deficit with the human resources. This will create a feeling of desperation and you will have to do a lot of tasks by your selves or they will remain incomplete. Therefore it will be hard to unload the burden from your shoulders. The expectation of their program is to assist you in unloading the burden off your shoulders in a better way. The thoughts and suggestions of the people who are invited to the show will contribute to your work in a new efficient way.

Need to take risks

To get any breakthrough in professional or family life you should have to do something new. Although it may be scary, to accomplish something great, we will have to take the risky pathway. Deep down in any man or boy’s heart, taking a risk plays a special role. Shifting the careers or changing the profession may also be a terrifying experience for some persons. However, to become successful, taking needed decisions associated with risks is essential. It may be either successful or failure, however whatever the result is you can get a very valuable lesson for your future endeavors.

Transcription: Have you ever found yourself waiting for a great idea to HIT you?

Ever gotten STUCK because you felt you just didn’t have just the PERFECT idea or plan?

You’ve likely found yourself struggling to muster a creative concept in your life, thinking you’re not like Jobs, Musk, Warhol, Mozart, or Rhianna… as such, you may have, as a result, thought less of yourself – disqualifying yourself from forward progress and the next step towards this thing in your head defined as “success”.

What if I told you it simply isn’t true?

What if you actually have the capacity for great ideas? What if you are capable of conceptualizing that THING you so desperately want to dream up?!

Today, I want to help connect you to your inner creative, base on the book “Creative Curve – how to create the right idea and the right time”… and at the end of this show, you’ll get an exclusive link to download a very special video by our guest. He recorded a brief tutorial just for this audience about how to jumpstart your creative process. So stay through to the end to get that link!

Earlier this year, I was speaking at an MGM Resorts event in Las Vegas and met Allen Gannett. Coincidently, one of his PR people had sent me an early copy of his book, The Creative Curve, and like the great networking that I am – knowing that Allen was going to be there, I had already begun reading it… so, of...

Dave Sanderson was the last person off of the plane, US Airways Flight 1549, or “The Miracle on the Hudson.” Within only a few moments in the air, two engines went dead and Captain Sully glided into the Hudson River on January 15, 2009. The movie Sully, starring Tom Hanks, is about this story.

Dave was the last passenger off the back of the plane on that fateful day, he was largely responsible for the well-being and safety of others, risking his own life in frigid water to help other passengers off the plane. Despite the hazards to himself, Sanderson thought only of helping others and emerged from the wreckage with a mission: to encourage others to do the right thing.

That experience profoundly changed his life and today he travels the globe sharing his inspirational and motivational leadership messages to help people make a difference in how they do business and live their lives.

Bryce Prescott knows that the rules of success are more than principles of business, but executing through the challenges, trials, and emotions.

In late 2014, Mr. Prescott started what became The Rules of Success Podcast as an outlet to share his perspective about life and all of it’s challenges and blessings. The show focuses on the areas of health, spirituality, relationships and business. The purpose is to provide the listener a fast track to both enjoy quicker success and to avoid unnecessary pitfalls. The success he has enjoyed has come with it’s fair share of failure and embarrassment, and it is the polarity of his experiences that is the basis for his refreshing take on balance, success and true achievement.

On this show we discuss persevering through business challenges, mindset, and healthy living.

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

Being the right person at the right time, at the right place

Maintaining an abundant mindset

Why you don’t have to have all of the answers

Masterminds, Coaching, and Meditating

Success leaves clues

Life has a clock on it, cancer

Eating healthy

Using creativity to cleanse yourself of fear and resentment

and more!

Dana Oliver used emotionally intelligent leadership at Medtronic to grow his business unit from $100million to $2billion in annual revenues. Sometimes, leadership looks like a self-advancing bully. Other times, leadership is an empowering opportunity for ownership and investment.

As the Senior Director of Research & Development at Medtronic, Dana wrote a book, “Mantra Design”, revealing the secrets for profitable and lasting innovation, including how to identify your customer’s unmet needs and how to expedite new product development. He provides an easy to understand methodology in the form of 14 quick, digestible mantras that highlight the power of true innovation.

On this show, we discuss the powers of innovation, customer service, and emotionally intelligent leadership.

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

Who do you want to be? Who is your customer?

Three kinds of technology for innovation: Customer focused, Technology focused, or hap-hazard

Starbucks and Victoria’s Secret created an ecosystem of experience

Mantra: “On the bus early, off the bus early”

When you invest in exceptional people, you can increase your productivity by 30%

Leadership is all too often focused on their own self-advancement

EI should be considered more than a skill, but think of it as a style and a philosophy

Culture is a bi-product of leadership

If a company grows beyond $500million, they should consider carving out parts of the business

People need to feel like someone has an interest in their career

  1. Invest 10% of company revenues should be invested back into organic research and development

  2. Develop your product through your customer’s eyes

  3. Focus on the strategically few core platforms that can move your annual operating plan needle

  4. Hire ambitious, get-it-done people, but then lead with emotionally intelligent leadership skills

Don’t ask for responsibility, take it

It begins and ends with your customers

and more!

While my family visited the island of Oahu, an old friend that was in my youth group 25 years ago invited me on to speak to the 307th Expeditionary Signal Battalion.

I absolutely agreed to present and instead of talking about leadership or technology or any of the things I speak about professionally.. I spoke about some really uncommon topics for the military, because I felt it necessary to help them connect with their mindset and soul.

It was so warmly received, I was given permission to share it publicly… and that’s what we’re going to do today. I’m sharing with you, the recording of that speech with soldiers of the US Army base in Hawaii.

Not only did it impact them, I believe it will be encouraging to you too.

Kevin Roberts is, personally, experiencing a fail of his own creation. Recently, he did an interview for Business Insider and, unfortunately, was quoted saying some very irresponsible comments regarding gender equality in the advertising industry.

This fail has cost him his roles as Chairman Saatchi & Saatchi, and Head Coach Publicis Groupe.

This interview was recorded before his career went sideways and I wrestled with publishing this show. In fact, I did reach out to his team to offer an opportunity for Kevin to share his side of the story.  Unfortunately, they did not reply.

Regardless, I believe the content shared in this conversation is still packed with valuable content. I ask that you provide a level of grace to this man for a mistake he’s made and trust that this was a lesson for him to learn and grow… we all deserve that.

On this show, we discuss Kevin’s new book, 64 Shots, the rapid changes in today’s world, and approaching it differently and positively.

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

VUCA world – Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, & Ambiguous

Why it’s about execution, pivot, responsiveness, leadership at every level

Super VUCA world – Vibrant, Unreal, Crazies, Astounding

Paradox of business bloodsport and leadership by compassion

Play the beautiful game, not the brutal

The power of making happy choices

IQ + EQ + TQ + BQ + CQ

The need for talent inspiration

Create better leaders, not better managers

HR administrators,

Responsibility, Learning, Recognition, and Joy

It’s the Fiftieth episode and I wanted to do something a little different. For many of you that don’t know me, I wanted to have someone else ask me the tough questions, to get me to share a deeper side on myself. So I got in the hotseat.

As such, I asked my friend Peter Awad, host of the Slow Hustle podcast to come and ask me the tougher questions. You may remember him from episode #033. His line of questioning takes you into my past, my background, and story.

If you’re new to the show, you’ll gain insights into how I got to where I am and how unusual this crazy journey has been for me and my family.

On this show we discuss talking about yourself, building a personal brand, and putting yourself “out there”.

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

Defending the underdogs

Countering the feelings of being isolated

Why you’re alone in your struggle

There’s more to your story

Angus’ back story in the hotseat

Learning that you’re loved because of who you are, not what you do

A peak into my new book, Empowering Work

What Angus started Up In Your Business

What Angus’ twelve month plan is

Angus singing some classical music

and more!

Living in the present is an easy concept to understand, but not always an easy one to walk out.

For many, the past keeps us in a state of longing or regret. We either want to get back to the “good ol’ days” or feel crippled by the pain of some negative experience.

For others, the future is a perpetual pursuit for “this”, the thing that once you achieved, isn’t as good as the “next” thing. We endlessly chase after the role, relationship, position, income, accolade, or pinnacle that will bring happiness.

Life is often a distraction of comparison, and the pressures of “perfection’.

On this show I’m flying solo to share with you some life-giving encouragement, connecting you to your inner core of power, and cultivate a sense of life satisfaction.

In the email Hans sent me, he posed some initial questions around business struggles he was having. I replied with my initial thoughts and then offered to do a pro-bono coaching call to see if we could explore his challenges a little more deeply.

I think his experience equals a number of entrepreneurs I’ve talked to and wanted to capture his words so you could see you’re not alone if you have the same challenged. Hans allowed me to record it for the show – the call has been slightly edited for time, but not for content.

Ryan Holiday witnessed, first hand, the destructive force of ego when his boss and mentor unraveled from leadership at American Apparel – destroying his company and reputation.

Throughout history, leaders have wrestled with the nature of their own egos – most of all in the spoils of success. In Ryan’s book, Ego is the Enemy, he takes us along a journey of mythology, history, and leadership to reveal the greatest challenge to our own success – we are the potential chaos to our own story.

I loved this book – https://www.amazon.com/Ego-Enemy-Ryan-Holiday/dp/1591847818?ie=UTF8&Version=1&entries=0 (Ego is the Enemy, releases June 14th).

His strategies are used as case studies by Twitter, YouTube and Google and have been written about in AdAge, the New York Times, Gawker and Fast Company. He’s advised many bestselling authors and multi-platinum musicians and became the Director of Marketing at American Apparel, where his work in advertising was internationally known.

On this show we talk about ambition, the power of humility, and accepting the possibility of plain ol’ dumb luck.

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

Wrestling with wanting to accomplish great things and stay small

The paradox misery and motivation… only to perpetuate more disappointment

How humility and self-awareness actually helped historic leaders do amazing things

How our positive and negative influences affects us and why we should watched both sides

How can someone be the best at what they do but not feel that they are special or better than everyone else?

Can one do ambitious things without being an ambitious person?

The power of servant leadership

Difference of celebrity and leadership

Things that you need to know before writing a book.

How to process and overcome your ego.

Fights against your ego and make sure it is not the one that is making decision for you.

How Lifestyle decisions can help deflect ego

Why must anything require being patient? It’s a junky thing to have to wait for anything – I want it NOW… right?

The most well intentioned people will tell you, “good things come to those that wait” or “patience is a virtue”. But that doesn’t resolve the anxiety I’m feeling or the urgency to see this situation resolved.

However, in the pain, fear, and frustration there is a way to rise above to make more effective decisions for you and the people you love.

On this show we talk about hating your current situation, pushing past our need for control, and the art of patience.

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

The dangers of choosing here and now instead of “there” and “when it’s right”.

The impact of desperation in your decision making

Why chaos creates more chaos, lack more lack versus abundance creating more abundance

The art of patience

and more!

Living your life shouldn’t be a competition with those around you. Nor should it be a competition with other people in the world. The only person you should be in competition with is yourself.

You can have a life worth living. No matter where you are today and what you’re experiencing, you can level up to an effective, transformational future.

On this show, I share the two truths that create a life worth living.

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

Life is full of paradoxes

The two paradoxical truths of life

Life is not about me: The opposite of life is selfishness

A talk on “me”

Good things happen when you get out of the way

Life is all about me: You have one life to life

You are one in Seven Billion

There is no other you that do what only you can do

Our problem is that we don’t live for us, we live for others. We’re far too busy trying to impress, compete, and conquer others

Life is like golf: the harder you try, the worse you do

What if, instead, you lived trying to impress, compete, and conquer YOUR SELF?

Finally, you are life itself: Fill yourself up and give yourself away

We all recognize our leadership can be better. However, few are willing to take the steps necessary to change poor habits, bad techniques, or ineffective strategies. Becoming intentional starts with gaining an understanding of why it’s so important. This episode is designed to paint a picture of how your framing of a situation, reaction to a challenge, and words in frustration can dramatically impact others very negatively.

However, once you’ve mastered how to motivate those around you in a healthy fashion, everything changes – both for you and those you lead.

On this show, I use the metaphor of parenting to show how we, as leaders, are actually capable of cultivating the behavior we seek and the leadership we’re training.

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

How parenting taught me how to lead

Children develop their personality by first grade

Using negative motivation to manipulate behavior

Most people struggle with fear in some form or another

The healthy way we motivate the desired behavior we’re seeking

Cultivating behavior is a heart issue, not a behavioral issue

Why you shouldn’t react immediately… to anything

and more!

Being careful with who you share with

The need to identify with those who share your struggle, “me too!”

The power of the words, “I believe in you”

Putting too much pressure on yourself

The discovery that you’re “not alone”

Our deepest fear by Marianne Williamson

When something scares you, it’s often the very thing worth doing
