EEC 336: How To Get High Paying Clients with TikTok Live, with Brian O'Neill
Brian O’Neill is a Chicago-based real estate investor, author, podcast host, and coach who turned his life around from being stuck in a high-earning yet unfulfilling corporate sales job. How do you use TikTok/Instagram to promote your brand? What is your strategy? How often do you post and what do you post? How did you grow your following to where it is now? Why should someone with a product or service be on TikTok? What advice would you give to someone just starting out? What if they are camera-shy? Brian O'Neill Brian O’Neill is a Chicago-based real estate investor, author, podcast host, and coach who turned his life around from being stuck in a high-earning yet unfulfilling corporate sales job. For 25 years, Brian felt trapped, living a lifestyle that demanded he stay in his job, despite it costing him precious moments with his young son and leaving him filled with regret. Flying over 100,000 miles a year, he was missing life at home, and it was eating him up inside. The turning point came when his son expressed how much he missed him. This was the wake-up call Brian needed to break free from what he calls the 'W2 prison' he had built for himself. He realized that the real barriers holding him back were all in his head. Now, Brian is living proof that it's possible to break free and live life on your terms. He's made it his mission to help others who feel stuck in their jobs, believing that a shift in mindset is all it takes to change your life. He speaks from experience when he says you're never too trapped to make a change. Brian's message is clear and simple: believe in yourself, change how you think, and you can change your life. Brian firmly believes it's never too late to chase the life you’ve always wanted. Excellent Executive Coaching Podcast If you have enjoyed this episode, subscribe to our podcast on iTunes.

EEC 334: How to Harness the Power of Cognitive Biases, with Lisa Tromba
For more than 25 years, Lisa Tromba has guided companies from mid-market enterprises to Fortune 100 powerhouses in searching for and selecting their executive leadership. You talk about what you call “mind knots.” What exactly are they, and how do they impact leaders? What are some strategies leaders can use to identify their own prominent mind knots? You suggest leaders should ask themselves one key question every day: Who am I practicing becoming? Why is this question so important, and how can it help leaders transform their mind knots into tools that move them and their organizations forward? You call attention to the fact that while cognitive and emotional biases are important to understand when selecting leaders, it’s a leadership lens that is overlooked in most organizations. Can you explain more about the importance of this lens and why it matters? In your book, you refer to what you call a “Captain’s Compass.” Can you describe what a Captain’s Compass is and how it can help leaders overcome their cognitive biases?
