Eating Crow

This episode is epic.Paul Watkins is a book you should not judge by its cover.He's intelligent.He's well-read.He's thoughtful.He's also intentional.What you may not see at the surface is his penchant for adventure.Extreme adventure.Paul is seeking danger.He's seeking growth.He's seeking development.He's also setting an example for his kids.He wants them to know the world is their oyster - and there for the taking.I find Paul to be one of my favorite guests and humans.He is one of the few people I follow on LinkedIn - consuming his Daily Dose.You should as well.

Will and John are the odd couple.They work well together but couldn't be more different.Will has been in the talent game for some time.John has been a brand builder and marketer for some time as well.They understand how people think, and how they work together - or don't.They've partnered to help companies understand how to build great teams and avoid the wrong mix.How? They get leadership teams on the same page - about what they need and who they are REALLY looking for.Seems logical right?Yet, very few companies truly understand what they are looking for, and what they aren't.Had a blast with this one, hope you enjoy it.

Wes Claytor is our first repeat guest.Why?Because Wes' story continues to evolve and needs to be shared.Wes' was one of our best episodes 3 years ago. He is again.He's experienced heartbreak, loss, suffering and pain.He's eaten crow.He used that pain to change his life.As a man, as a husband and as a father.What's amazing, is he's not only sustained this positive change, he's thrived.Wes runs. A lot. Now he runs for others, using his endurance events as a platform to raise money and heal minds and souls.I love this guy.You should too.

Kevin Casey was doing it all wrong......selling, that is.He realized traditional selling techniques pushed potential clients away, unintentionally.So he started unselling - a strategy he's now perfected, heck, he's even written a book about it.He's fully transparent about his eating crow moments and how he's completely rethought his approach to selling.Kevin is also the kind of guy you could have a beer (or a few beers) with and lose track of time.Listen to his weekly video tips and sign up for his book, "Unselling"

John Morris is my kind of person.Big, Bold and on a mission.John found that school wasn't his "thing".He also found that sales was.It fed into his competitive nature. If he couldn't "win" he didn't want to play.Telling his father that school was tough.But, like any father that's paying attention, you lean in when your kids need you to.John's dad knew his son would be successful. He told him that.That's all John needed. A salesman was born.John's story of trial and error. Of leading, learning, failing, and learning again is what this show is all about.He's open about his style, as a leader, a husband and a father. Like most of us, he's still learning.He's found a home with a company that lets, no wait, encourages, him to be himself.They've even given him a podcast and he's one of the best in the game.Follow John Morris, you will smile and learn something every day.I know I do.

Rachel Clissold found herself. Now she helps others find the best version of themselves.Her journey is the stuff of a Netflix series.She grew up feeling trapped - in her home, in her life.She left, abruptly and at a young age...on a journey of self discovery.Along the way she found herself.Her eating crow moments were at a younger age than most.It's hard to pinpoint Rachel's gift: part spiritual, part physical, part emotional and part mental.She can SEE her clients and get to the root of their issues - quickly.How? She "feels" what they are feeling, visualizes it, sees it...even the the pain.Sounds like a Netflix series, doesn't it?I'd watch, and you should too.

Steve Cutler is on a mission.He's here to challenge old ways of thinking...the status quo.Steve walks the talk - in the mountains, literally, he grew up there and they are in his bones.He's study the history of food - and movement, remarkably, they are inextricably tied to together.Steve sees excuses as an indicator of poor performance in other (if not most) aspects of life.I've interviewed a lot of people on this show, he's probably one of the fittest people I've met.He's also upped his social media game and is getting the message out there as a coach and leader.Follow him, I do.

Teddy Mitrosilis is a throwback. He's a writer, a bit of a renaissance man, and a leader.After majoring in Journalism at the University of North Carolina, while playing baseball, he ventured into media.Stops at ESPN and Fox led to a successful career at a startup, STRIVR, where he played a key role in building out their customer and consulting offerings. This was an important step for Teddy - he had been "commenting" on other people building things - now he was part of the solution.But, Teddy knew he wanted to write.He also knew he wanted to teach others.A funny thing happened, people were looking for his help to build a brand, to become their best...and they were drawn to Teddy's style and methodology.He started The Process, an online newsletter that helps people become their best.His inspiration? His dad: "The little things, every day, will make you great..."That's how Teddy approached baseball, a game of details. He did the little things every day. His latest newsletter, The Daily Creator, allows him to combine his love for writing and coaching people who want to be better (writers).You don't "Follow" Teddy, you join his Community...and his Mission.
