Segment 1 with Dr. Thom Mayers starts at 0:00
In a calm sea, every person is a pilot. But what happens when there is a crisis? What happens when your leadership is really tested?
Dr. Thom Mayer has been a leader in times of crisis for over 25 years, navigating some of the most significant challenges imaginable. On top of being the Medical Director for the NFL Players Association, he served as the Command Physician at the Pentagon Rescue/Recovery Operation on 9/11, Incident Commander for the anthrax outbreak in Washington, DC that same year, and led a Team Rubicon Mobile Emergency Team in Ukraine following the outbreak of war. His latest book, “Leadership Is Worthless...But Leading Is Priceless” draws on his experiences heading the 9/11 Pentagon rescue efforts, dealing with on-field emergencies in the NFL (he was at Damar Hamlin’s bedside after his injury), and training mobile response medical Teams.
Segment 2 with Jeremy Hurewitz starts at 22:17.
Selling is always such a key part of the success of any small business and I was intrigued by the title of this book, "Sell Like a Spy".
Jeremy Hurewitz is the author of "Sell Like a Spy." He spent the first decade of his career overseas building the media association Project Syndicate while based out of Prague and Shanghai. He spearheaded a business development strategy that saw the association grow from a few dozen member newspapers in mostly Eastern Europe, to a truly global association of over 300 newspapers in over 100 countries.
