The EntreLeadership Podcast

The last 18 months have been this generation of business owners’ greatest challenge. A natural byproduct of a challenging situation is fear. You’ve probably felt your fair share of it recently as you guided your team through the chaos. But as a leader it’s your job to lead no matter the circumstance, and that’s going to require courage. In this week’s episode of The EntreLeadership Podcast, we sit down with Ryan Holiday to discuss his new book, Courage Is Calling. Ryan challenges us to ponder the question, “What would the world look like if we all acted courageously every day?” Then, in our second segment, George Kamel sits down with Ramsey Solutions’ Executive Vice President Blake Thompson. He breaks down how we, at Ramsey, have been taking calculated risks since the early days when The Dave Ramsey Show still only had one station.   The EntreLeadership Podcast Ryan Holiday's Website Courage Is Calling by Ryan Holiday The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker Ramsey Solutions' Website Watch the Borrowed Future documentary trailer Borrowed Future podcast Download the Mission Statement Mapper Schedule a call with Tim, the Producer.   Learn more about the offers from our EntreLeadership Partners: BELAY  |  Gravy  |  Hite Digital | NetSuite Learn more about your ad choices.
