Almost every leader acknowledges the importance of culture. But few actually know how to build an engaging and lasting culture for their business. Billy Boughey is the Founder & President at Elevate Experiences.  Billy had a brief stint as a professional baseball player for the Philadelphia Phillies, but now he and his team at Elevate serve to show organizations the importance of culture. They know a healthy culture sets your company up for both the present and the future. Growing up, Billy thought baseball was a solo act.  He’d get on the mound and attempt to conquer the other team by himself.  But over the years, he learned he needed the entire team, and he fell in love with the concept of bring different people’s gifts and talents together onto one team. Billy was also raised by Hip Hop music (The Beastie Boys, A Tribe Called Quest), and developed a love of storytelling. After his professional baseball experience, he saw there was a gap in the market for taking brand experiences and translating them to the marketplace.  His background in team building and storytelling made this new career as Founder of Elevate the perfect match. In this episode of the Leadercast Podcast, we caught up with Billy to hear about how he built his culture at his own company, and how he helps other organizations build engaging cultures themselves.Developing world-class leaders in your community is now easier than ever with Leadercast.

Kat Cole didn’t have the easiest time growing up. At a young age, her family had to leave her father, leaving them with little opportunity or resources. Kat is now the COO and President at FOCUS Brands, North America.  She got to where she is in large part because of the behavior her mother modeled as they were growing up.  As a single mother she showed her family how to be resilient. On a meager income, they were able to survive on a food budget of $10 per week. This upbringing taught Kat how to figure things out.  She never knew all of the answers, but she knew that if she kept searching, she could make the best out of any situation.  This led to Kat’s journey of continual self-improvement and modeling personal change in both her professional and private life. In this episode of The Leadercast Podcast, we speak with Kat about her story and the importance of acting on personal and professional feedback.Developing world-class leaders in your community is now easier than ever with Leadercast.

How do you handle failure? Do you count up all of the ways the odds are stacked against you? Or do you make the decision that regardless of circumstances, you are not going to let failure define your career, relationships, or life?

How busy are you? Do you wear your busyness as a badge of honor, always looking for ways to fill up the tiniest bit of room in your schedule? Chris Barez-Brown, author of Wake Up! believes that most people are so busy that they are on autopilot from the time they open their eyes in the morning to the time they close them at night.  Their brain is so used to their routines and patterns that they are not fully present in the moment. There is nothing wrong with filling your day with meaningful activities, but it’s tough to make the conscious choice to pay attention to your world around you.  So how do you snap out of this autopilot mode even when you are doing things you enjoy like spending time with friends and family? Chris wrote Wake Up! For these exact reasons, and he lives for helping people become more happy in the world around him.  In this episode of the Leadercast Podcast, Chris talks about writing his book, the concept of being on autopilot, and balancing the conscious & subconscious parts of our brain.
