Episode 45 - Bryan and Shannon Miles: Building a Lasting Marriage and Family Centered Life while leading a 100 million Dollar Company. Oct 23, 2020

Bryan and Shannon Miles are the epitome of a power couple. They've grown their company Belay Solutions, a virtual organization of 1000 employees with remote careers, by emphasizing a vibrant company culture that's counterintuitive to the traditional model. Unlike many power couples however, is the fact that growing an empire hasn’t cost Bryan and Shannon their marriage or family life.

Bryan and Shannon’s greatest desire in life is to have a really great marriage. While growing companies is exciting, it’s not the standard by which they want to be measured. Leading their family in a way that aligns with their values of faith and hard work is at the core of who they are.

Episode 44 - Jason McCarthy : The Leadership Connection between Body and Mind. Oct 16, 2020

Being a leader is hard so finding a purpose in the work you do is important. My guest today did just that. In 2008 Jason McCarthy, was a member of the US Special Forces while his wife Emily was in the CIA and together they founded GORUCK. Their goal was simple: build a rucksack with life or death quality standards and show all walks of life how to operate smartly and safely in some of the harshest environments in the world (using said rucksack.)

Jason and Emily’s path wasn’t easy, they ended up divorced only to later find themselves remarried and building a better life together. Jason shares his message behind marriage being a metaphor for life, the need to communicate with your spouse to keep them close, his deep understanding on the need for embracing the uneasiness of life and why staying active and outside is pivotal to becoming a great leader and father.
