It’s hard to believe it is episode 199, and next week will mark a massive milestone of recording, producing, and releasing an episode every single week for almost 4 years straight!

In this week’s episode, I wanted to reflect over the past 199 episodes, and get you prepared for the next 200 episodes! 

Over the past 199 weeks, I’ve had on leaders across numerous professions:

• TedX Speakers

• Ex-Navy Seals 

• Best-Selling Authors 

• Up and coming leaders, to CEOs of massive brands

• Sales Professionals from BDRs, to AEs, to VPs of Sales 

• Marketing Professionals to talk about what makes them successful

• Customer Success Leaders to talk about how to retain/grow your customers

These professionals were across a variety of industries too:

• Solopreneurs starting their own journey

• Coaches, Community Leaders, Public Speakers

• Partnership Leaders

• Podcast Hosts

• Those sharing mental health struggles/tips

• Financial Advisors 

I’ve learned some massive lessons along the way, and some interesting trends:

1. What you experience early in your life and career really lays the foundation to success later (Transfering your skills)

2. Business Acumen is crucial: Relatable to who you are speaking with. Real world skills and experience is something I believe needs to be a bigger focus early in our careers and life.

3. Develop Cross-Functional Skills: understanding other roles at the company allows you to be a more well-rounded employee

4. Action is more important than perfection

I am excited to get even more tactical myself, and utilize the skills I’ve learned like writing Blogs, creating a newsletter, and who knows, maybe even get more long-form content onto YouTube too. 

So excited that you’ve been on this journey with me, as we continue to develop our own skills, and become the best versions of ourselves along the way.

Please enjoy this week’s episode of The 20% Podcast!
