Sharon Guerin On Unlocking Your Hidden Potential and Taking Control of Your Life EP 14 Mar 30, 2021

Show notes

On today’s show, we interview Chef Sharon Guerin, who shares with us her life story about how she became an executive chef. And how she applied the Personal Agility methodology to unlock her hidden potential and take control of her life. Sharon has been cooking since the age of nine, and she always harbored this secret desire to be a chef and have her own cooking show. But then life happened. At one point in time, Sharon was a single mother, working five jobs, struggling to take care of her five kids. In November 2017, at the age of 54, she decided to leap of faith, and she quit her job as the staffing director of a health care agency. As fate would have it, a chance encounter with Maria Maratelli opened up a world of opportunity for Sharon. They got talking, and Sharon confided in her aspirations to start her YouTube cooking channel. Three days hence, as promised, Maria went over to Sharon’s house to help shoot her first-ever YouTube video. The rest, as they say, is history. “How did things start falling in place all of a sudden for Sharon?” you may ask. Sharon’s success is no fluke. Rather, it is the result of taking some very intentional steps and using personal agility. You will learn how having Maria as a coach helped Sharon let go of the long-held beliefs that held her back. Though extremely tough, you will also learn the importance of making your near and dear ones behave responsibly and with accountability. And last but not least, John and Sharon emphasize how having your own tribe, your own mentors, can help you tide over some of the most trying times. Enjoy! What You Will Learn In This Show

My life story and how I evolved into the culinary queen
Using the Agility methodology to unlock your hidden potential
How faith and positivity can help you realize your wildest dreams
Letting go of the long-held beliefs that are holding you back

What was the origin story for your brand, The Culinary Queen?

Why Doing The Right Thing Is Hard w/John R. Miles EP 13 Mar 26, 2021

Show notes

What would you do if you are at the crossroads of your life where you have the option of taking the harder right or, the easier wrong? On today’s show, John shares a deeply personal story where he chose the more difficult, harder path at the risk of jeopardizing his entire career. Additionally, you will learn the Three Things that will help you to make similarly difficult decisions. Back in military school, John found himself in the midst of a high-profile cheating scandal. The answers for the Naval Academy electrical engineering exam were leaked. This impacted hundreds of Midshipmen at the Naval Academy. John was a member of the brigade honor committee when this took place and tells his very personal story about what happened. When the Superintendent mishandled the crisis, it launched an investigation by the Baltimore Sun and the Navy Inspector General. John was called upon by the Secretary of Navy and even had legal reps defending his innocence when the Superindent tried to make him the scapegoat. And so, at this point, John had the option of caving in or doing what was ethically and morally correct. John decided to take the harder right, even at the risk of jeopardizing his entire career. History is replete with examples of stellar individuals who always chose the harder right – even in the face of utmost adversity. John gives the example of Gandhi, who spearheaded India’s freedom struggle. This timid and seemingly “unremarkable” man fought racial injustice in South Africa before helming the Quit India Movement that forced the British out of India. Gandhi could NOT have freed millions of people from colonialism and oppression without taking the harder path, again and again. On today’s show, you will learn the Three Things to help you do the right thing. You will learn that -

It is NOT about your ego – rather it is about integrity and making decisions that you know in your heart are the right ones.
It is NOT a decision that you make in haste – think about the long-term repercussions and how your decision affects those around you.

Tune in for some inspiration! What You Will Learn In This Show

How to take the harder, right
The three things to help you make the right decision
How to prepare yourself for the aftermath after making a difficult decision
And so much more…

The Key to Finding Passion in Retirement w/Giles Stewart EP 12 Mar 23, 2021

Show notes

You have a fulfilling career and now step into your next chapter. But, What is the key to finding passion in retirement. In this episode, John R. Miles interviews Giles Stewart about his career, it's biggest moments, and how he is leading his best life as he enjoys retirement. Ever wondered how giant companies like Dell and Lowe’s face and overcome some of their biggest challenges? On today’s show, we interview Giles Stewart, a former Fortune 500 Executive who shares with us his wisdom on culture, empowerment, passion, retirement, and how future leaders can bring about positive change. Giles first came in touch with John when they joined forces to help Lowe’s recover from the worst cybersecurity attack in the history of the retail industry. You will learn how John, Giles, and the entire IT department at Lowe’s worked in a collaborative manner to create a new state-of-the-art command center. In this segment of the show, you will get some important lessons in execution, empowerment, and creating a long-term vision. In 2013, Giles moved on to another iconic company, Dell. Here, Giles shares how working at Dell was a totally different experience compared to the more structured operations at Lowe’s. While Giles was employed at Dell, the company grew at a blistering pace via the acquisitions route as it evolved from a hardware company to a software and services company. You will get a peek into the acquisition’s playbook used by large organizations and learn how they overcome their cultural differences upon assimilation. Feeling the need to make a bigger impact, Giles left Dell to work in a smaller organization, Acelity. When Giles joined, his team was in complete shambles, and morale was at an all-time low. You will learn how Giles helped create his team’s new identity using an honest, no-bullshit, and refreshingly fresh approach. Having retired from professional life, Giles has found his passion once again as he spends his day’s rowing and blogging. Questions That I Ask In This Show

Could you share your experience at Lowe’s and how you helped deal with the largest cybersecurity hack in the history of the retail industry?
What were some of the cultural differences between Lowe’s and Dell?
Why did you decide to leave Dell to work for Acelity?
How did you turnaround the reputation of your team at Acelity?
What is your advice for smaller companies that are being acquired by a larger company?
After retirement, what was the key turning point that re-ignited your fire?

What You Will Learn In This Show

Opening up the acquisition’s playbook
Understanding the cultural differences that exist between large organizations
Finding a hobby that aligns with your interest
How to shed stress and cultivate mindfulness

Overcoming Pancreatic Cancer and Taking Life to New Heights w/Sindy Hooper EP 10 Mar 16, 2021

Show notes

The purpose of today's show is to bring awareness to pancreatic cancer survival. In today’s show, John interviews Sindy Hooper about overcoming pancreatic cancer survivor and competing as an Ironman Triathlete. Sindy shares with us her incredible story of grit, hope, and finding success in extreme adversity. Back in 2013, things could not have been better for Sindy. She was leading a happy existence with her physician husband at their countryside home. Sindy had just turned 50 and was in the best shape of her life. A huge fitness enthusiast, Sindy was training for Ironman Canada when she felt a few sharp abdominal and back pains. Further investigations revealed that she had pancreatic cancer – a disease with an average life expectancy of just 6 months. After going through Whipple surgery where “they removed her gall bladder, bile duct, duodenum, bottom third of stomach and half the pancreas,” Sindy went through 18 rounds of IV chemo, 28 days of radiation, and a month of oral chemo. While she was going through her treatment, she decided to do what any rational person would. Sindy decided to participate in Ironman Canada! The Ironman features a 3.9 km swim,180 km bike ride, and then a 42 km marathon, to put things in perspective. So, in August 2013, Sindy became the only pancreatic cancer survivor to finish an Ironman. In the process, she also raised thousands of dollars and gave hope to millions worldwide. How do you retain a positive mindset even when your future looks bleak, and all odds are stacked against you? Tune in and get inspired!

How Sindy survived pancreatic cancer – one of the deadliest forms of the disease with a less than 5% survival rate
How she finished the Ironman while I was undergoing chemotherapy
How she retained a positive mindset even when all odds were stacked against me
What she recommends to other growth seekers in how to take control of their lives
And so much more…

Stop Being A Visionary Arsonist and Self-Sabotaging Your Dreams w/John R. Miles EP 9 Mar 12, 2021

Show notes

In today’s momentum Friday show, John unpacks the “visionary arsonist” concept. So often in our lives, you aim to reach the stars but often you end up burning down your own dreams and preventing yourself from achieving your main goal. As entrepreneurs, we love to innovate. And, we are constantly enamored by every shiny new object that crosses our path. We hate the status quo. And exploring the new and the unknown gives us an adrenaline rush that we find irresistible. However, more often than not, these “shiny new objects” send us on a wild goose chase that only results in loss of time & productivity, and even failure. John shares his many experiences from corporate America to better explain his “visionary arsonist” concept. So, if this is something that resonates with you, and you find yourself lacking conviction and prioritization, tuning in today will particularly help you out. Enjoy! What You Will Learn in This Show

What does it mean to be a visionary arsonist?
How to keep your focus and avoid being swayed by every shiny, new object
How to build conviction and prioritize wisely

Keeping Your Focus While in Conflict w/Master Chief Tuck Williams EP 8 Mar 09, 2021

Show notes

In today’s Passion Struck ™ podcast episode, John interviews his long-term friend and navy veteran Master Chief Tuck Williams who shares his wisdom on keeping your focus, conflict resolution, and managing change. Tuck joined the Navy in 1989 and recently retired after 30 years in service. Of these 30 years, Tuck spent 12 at sea. He has served in far-flung places like Spain and Japan and has been decorated with numerous service medals. You will learn how to overcome some of the biggest challenges that are impeding your progress. Tuck shares some of the most important lessons learned in his three-decade-long service, from steering clear of distractions to swift conflict resolution. Finding the right mentors also helped Tuck immensely along the way. When he was just 19, he was drafted to Japan. An unsure and slightly out-of-sorts, Tuck, fortunately, found a great mentor to lean on who helped him settle down. Be it the military or corporate America; the only constant is change. And if you run away from change, you are committing hara-kiri as eventually your enemy or your competition will end up having a leg up on you. But, how can you prevent conflict and chaos in a dynamic environment? What all can you do to show up a responsible, caring, and thoughtful leader? Other topics discussed in today’s show include keeping your emotions in check at the workplace, tips for handling toxic people, and the importance of making good choices. Enjoy! Questions That I Ask In This Show

What exactly is information warfare?
Why are we not focusing on the urgent things that can truly move the needle forward for us?
How did you keep your focus when you were serving in the Navy?
What were some of the daily habits and routines that helped you find success in the Navy?
How can you avoid being a visionary arsonist?
What are some powerful lessons you have learned from some of the best leaders you have ever worked with?
How did you learn to evaluate an organization to unearth the underlying issues?
What tips do you have for handling toxic people and ensuring productivity and momentum?
What advice do you have for your twenty-year-old self?

Applying Personal Agility to Unlock Your Passion w/Maria Matarelli EP 6 Mar 02, 2021

Show notes

Wish to learn techniques that can work wonders for your professional life and your personal life? Today's episode will teach you how you can apply personal agility to unlock your passion and creativity. In today’s show, we interview Maria Matarelli, CEO of Formula Ink and co-founder of the Agile Marketing Academy and Personal Agility Institute, where she reveals how her agile management strategies can catapult you miles ahead of the competition both in your business and personal life. Always a hard charger, Maria started working at 15 and paid her way through college. When she entered professional life, she decided to pursue agile project management – which was then an unknown field with very few experts. Maria progressed quickly through the corporate ranks, and as a 22-year-old, she was managing a 120-person team and saving her employer $1.5 million every year through her project management expertise. So, when she was handed out a measly 5% increment, Maria decided to push back against the system, and ultimately, she managed to wrangle out a 100% salary increase. This win proved to be the turning point for Maria as she realized that if she worked hard enough and made herself indispensable, she could bend the rules. After some more agile project management stints, Maria decided to branch out by kickstarting her own consultancy. While this was a brave and farsighted decision, the first year-and-a-half certainly tested Maria’s mettle. Maria went all out to realize her vision, from running through her entire bank balance to buying one-way tickets to Thailand and India. Agile techniques, Maria reveals, can help you improve not only on a professional level but also personally. So, if you are routinely bouncing off things, lack consistency and follow-through, then listening to Maria will surely help you out. Enjoy! Questions That I Ask In This Show
