How to Break Patterns and Change Your Life with Scott Miller Aug 26, 2022

Show notes

How can we shift our thinking in order to break a pattern? And how can we take positive action to make transformative changes in our lives?

That’s the focus of Scott Miller’s new book, “Master Mentors Vol. 2.” It examines key insights from 30 of the world’s most transformational leadership thinkers – including Seth Godin, Susan Cain, General Stanley McChrystal and more – and provides simple steps to implement the same insights in your own life.

In today’s episode, Scott joins me to talk about the most valuable lessons he’s learned from his own mentor, the concept of transformational insight, the subtle nuances between self-worth, self-esteem and self-confidence, why vulnerability is a key element of leadership, and more.

“I think the power of transformation has the power for you to see yourself differently. It has the power for you to challenge your paradigm, your mindset, your belief system, to say, gosh, I always thought about gratitude in this way, but now I'm gonna think about gratitude in this way. Or I thought about what's next for me or my business model. They're personal and professional. I think it's really intended to help kind of shake you to say you've been in this pattern of thinking this line of behavior and just shaking a little bit to say, is that serving you well? Is that serving those around you?” – Scott (06:03)

Top 3 Takeaways

A mentor can be anyone. “I don't think you have to know or be in an intimate relationship, professional relationship with your mentor at all,” Scott says. It doesn’t matter that you can’t meet with them for one-on-one guidance; a mentor is anyone who helps you understand how to improve your life, and in the age of podcasts and YouTube, you can get that wisdom in a variety of ways.
Try to assume positive intent. Everybody makes mistakes, and sometimes even the most well-intended words come out wrong. A person’s words say more about them than they do about you.
Self-worth is inherent and unchanging. “Self-esteem and your self-confidence ebbs and flows based on your sense of self and the kind of relationships you're in and the things that you do that you value or don't value,” Scott says. “But your self-worth cannot be changed and no one else can change it.”

In This Episode

(01:13) Why you don’t need to meet your mentor to benefit from their wisdom
(05:21) Scott’s definition of a transformational insight
(07:14) The practical applications of insights, and using them to transform your life
(11:30) Bobby Herrera’s life-changing bus ride
(22:50) Self-worth vs self-esteem vs self-confidence
(31:51) “Your future truth should be your present.”
(36:03) BJ Fogg and the power of tiny pattern-breaking habits

How to Become Known as an Authority - Mark Schaefer Aug 05, 2022

Show notes

Check out this week's episode of Insight Out with my guest Mark Schaefer!

One of my favorite episodes of Insight Out is my conversation with John Espirian. During that interview, he mentioned his mentor was a guy named Mark Schaefer.

Since I respect John so much, I decided to read Mark’s book Known, and invite him on the show. Fortunately for me (and you)…he said yes. This episode is our conversation.

Mark is a globally-recognized blogger, speaker, and author of seven best-selling books:

· Social Media Explained

· Return On Influence

· Born to Blog

· The Content Code

· The Tao of Twitter

· KNOWN: The Handbook for Building and Unleashing Your Personal Brand in the Digital Age,

· Marketing Rebellion: The Most Human Company Wins

He is the co-host of The Marketing Companion, one of the top 10 marketing podcasts on Apple Podcasts.

He is in the Top 10 of the most re-tweeted marketing authorities in the world and was listed as one of the Top 10 authorities on Social Selling by Forbes.

He is among the world’s most recognized social media authorities and has been a keynote speaker at some of the most prominent conferences in the world.

Needless to say, his work has landed pretty much every noteworthy publication including the Wall Street Journal, Wired, The New York Times, CNN, and The Harvard Business Review.

It is an honor to have Mark on Insight Out, as we explore the themes from his book Known that will help you on your path to becoming an authority in your space through personal branding, content, and an ability to stand out in a noisy world. This was a fascinating conversation and even explores some emerging trends like nostalgia marketing and synthetic influencers that may just blow you away.

How to Activate the Genius of Others - Liz Wiseman Jul 29, 2022

Show notes

Today’s guest is Liz Wiseman, author of New York Times bestseller Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter, The Multiplier Effect: Tapping the Genius Inside Our Schools, Impact Players: How to Take the Lead, Play Bigger and Multiply Your Impact and Wall Street Journal bestseller Rookie Smarts: Why Learning Beats Knowing in the New Game of Work. Liz has conducted significant research in the field of leadership and collective intelligence and writes for Harvard Business Review, Fortune, and a variety of other business and leadership journals. A former executive at Oracle Corporation, over the course of 17 years, Liz was the Vice President of Oracle University and a global leader in Human Resource Development. Her management research and executive development firm The Wiseman Group is focused on developing leaders around the globe who can take on the world's toughest challenges. Her client list includes Apple, Disney, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Twitter. As you will see in this show, I met Liz when she spoke at Tesla and it resulted in one of the most memorable and emotional professional experiences in my life. On the show, we dive into the concepts of Multipliers and Rookie Smarts and she tells personal insight stories that have helped make her the person she is today. She explains the interesting reason why she decided to leave Oracle, and how that planted the seed for one of her books. We discuss her insights as a mother of 4 and a busy professional, and how her world was changed when she realized the management skill she used at work is the exact same skillset she used at home. She also shares how and why she created labels in her books to help provide a framework and language to discuss what she calls the “undiscussable” - A multiplier is a genius maker and helps to activate everyone around them to be their best by spending their energy on extracting and extending the genius of others. A diminisher does the exact opposite, by restricting others and holding them back from showing their what she calls “native genius”. We will discuss this in detail, including giving an example of the “accidental diminisher” - someone who has positive intentions but inadvertently diminishes those around them. She also gives some sage advice for parents on how to balance life and family. I’m beyond thrilled to release today’s show and can thank Liz enough for being my guest so please enjoy this episode of Insight Out!

How to Lead Teams From Anywhere - David Burkus Jul 22, 2022

Show notes

As the world is slowly reopening, companies are faced with a tough decision on how the workplace should look like. Should they bring their employees back to the offices, opt for hybrid models, or stick to remote work? Can they really manage to effectively lead teams from anywhere?

In this episode, Billy Saleebey speaks with David Burkus, a 5x best-selling author and one of the best business thinkers on the globe. His forward-thinking ideas and books have not only helped leaders and teams to optimize their potential but have also earned him the ‘Bruce Wayne of Management Thinkers’ title. His works have been featured in multiple media streams, including Bloomberg, CNN, BBC, The Wallstreet Journal, USAToday, NPR, and BusinessWeek. Burkus’ Ted Talk has had over 2 million views. He was also ranked on the Thinkers50 list as one of the World’s top business thought leaders.

David has never been afraid of challenging the status quo and all the conventional wisdom that exists out there in the business world.

Today we talk about a lot of these concepts, especially the ones he outlines in his new book Leading From Anywhere: The Essential Guide To Managing Remote Teams. You will hear David sharing about the evolution of remote work, the future for in-person offices, handling distractions, and setting boundaries. You will also hear our guest sharing about the importance of having a shared identity in a company, building trust and communication in an organization, and some ideas to help remote workers feel included.

How to Make the Decision to be Your Best Self - Mike Bayer Jul 15, 2022

Show notes

Mike Bayer, or Coach Mike as he is commonly called is not your typical personal development coach. Far from it.

With over 40 appearances on Dr. Phil, his New York Times best-selling book Best Self, and his just rebased book One Decision, Coach Mike brings emotion and authenticity you rarely see. Yes, authenticity is a buzzword these days, but Mike has made his life’s work to help people find their true self…or more precisely, their best-self.

And today he shares how he found his best self by helping others find theirs. He vulnerably shares what it was like to grow up not able to be himself which led to drug addiction as a young man.

We learn how this paved the way for him becoming sober, then having a career as a counselor and interventionist, and even helping celebrities and pop stars navigate rocky relationships.

He shares insights from his books and approach to coaching that will help anyone who wants to gain clarity on purpose and how to live the life you’re meant to live…I’m excited for this one, so let’s jump into the conversation.

You can learn more from Mike:
