Episode notes

Have you ever lost everything? Our latest episode of the podcast features a story of risk, loss, and eventual transformation. Chad Brown formed a real estate firm with a partner and several investors before the 2008 economic crisis hit, causing them to lose every single investment. This led to not only a deep depression but financial struggles that affected his personal finances as well.

Chad's story highlights the importance of self-discovery and feedback to identify blind spots and ignored issues within ourselves. Excuses weaken character, but taking responsibility is emphasized in the self-discovery process. By using this methodology, Chad transformed a financial planner’s life from complaining about his team's lack of dedication to becoming more attentively focused on his employees.

Chad primarily works with small and medium-sized business founders, helping them navigate, manage, and lead their businesses effectively. He believes it's important to have people in our lives that give honest feedback, even when it feels uncomfortable.

If you want to learn more about the speaker's methods and insights, we suggest starting with Naked Leadership Podcast hosted by Chad, Adrian, and Dan. In Episode Episode 145, This Is How We Do Confrontation, you'll see how Chad and his team process and work through tough situations.
