Today, Massimo and his guest, Alex Runyan, take a deep dive into the importance of being a part of a team, stepping into our grit, and why smiling through the uncertainty sets us up for success in all aspects of our lives.
A graduate of the United States Naval Academy, Alex served 10 years active duty as a Marine Corps Huey pilot, serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Southeast Asia. Following this, Alex grew his leadership credentials with Slalom Consulting, and most recently as the Director of Organizational Development for the Defense Innovation Unit.
Highlights from today's podcast include:
The importance of challenging yourself throughout your life, and how to recognize the value you provide with your experiences and your character.
Why "new and scary" experiences create opportunity to reveal who we are, and the importance of resilience when faced these extraordinary obstacles.
We reframe the ideas of success and the importance of team before self, and understanding the value that you can't get to, by yourself alone.
