Willing to Fail with Ryan Leak
Tuesday Apr 04, 2023
Tuesday Apr 04, 2023
Ryan Leak is an incredible speaker, author, coach, podcaster, and content creator.
He'd attribute much of what he's been able to accomplish to the fact that he's willing to fail at stuff most people aren't willing to try.
Listen to Ryan unpack his perspective on failure and how he relentlessly pursues the art of getting better.
You can purchase Ryan's books (which I'd highly recommend), book him as a speaker, or sign up for his free encouraging texts on his website here:

The 7 Key Ingredients of Leadership with Terrell Daniel
Tuesday Jan 24, 2023
Tuesday Jan 24, 2023
Listen as Terrell Daniel of Chick-fil-A Tech Road delivers the 7 key ingredients to his secret sauce for leadership:
- Know yourself, lead yourself - gain self-awareness, invite feedback, then apply self-care
- Lead by example - don’t ask anybody to do something you aren’t willing to do yourself
- Know your team, lead them differently - there isn’t a one-size fits all leadership strategy
- Blame the process, not the person - be easy on the people not on the problem
- Constant gentle pressure - it’s our job as the leader to keep putting the salt shaker in the middle of the table
- Fail fast - get comfortable with making mistakes - if you’re not messing up you’re not trying hard enough
- Be purpose-driven - relentlessly tie everything back to the "why"
