Leading with Genuine Care Business, Basketball, and Building a Winning Culture — Mat Ishbia Wisdom Series: Part One
Think basketball has nothing to do with business? Think again says Mat Ishbia, the CEO and President of United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM) and a player on the NCAA National Championship winning Michigan State University team.
In part one of this Wisdom Series episode, we welcome Mat back to the podcast to dig deeper into his unique perspective on business leadership, why lessons learned on the court have translated into corporate workplace success, and his fantastic book on business, Running the Corporate Offense: Lessons in Effective Leadership from the Bench to the Board Room.
And even if sports aren’t your thing, I promise that you’ll still take away so much value from Mat’s insightful, people-first advice.

- Why Mat uses a shot clock during team meetings
