Adam Schaeuble Million Pound Mission Man

The Taboo that hides beneath your business suit!  Leaders and top executives hold positions that convey power, prestige, and competence. However, even if you're flying business class on a long haul flight, you are eating aeroplane food at odd times of the day because you're likely flying in and out of different time zones. On top of that, it doesn’t take long for the "glamour" business dinners, missed workouts and exhaustion to catch up. Before you know it, the next business suit needs to have a little more room than the last one, and the fact is, that last one was three sizes bigger than the one you bought 5 years ago.  Those same leaders who hold positions that convey power, prestige, and competence often feel powerless with regard to their own weight gain. Did you know that 27 percent of health spending between 1987 and 2001 was attributable to obesity? The total cost of obesity to private employers is approximately $45 billion per year. So how can we as leaders, slow down, even reverse this weight gain train from going of the track? Well stay tuned because our guest today is Adam Schaeuble, PhD. (pronounced; “Shyblee") He’s an entrepreneur, community leader and host of the top ranked fitness podcast the Million Pound Mission. He’s a man on a mission that started in his home town of Bloomington, IN, where he has created a bootcamp program that’s produced over 35,000lbs of results.  On this episode we go FullMonty on How he got his PhD faster than anyone in history What's behind his Million Pound Mission How he lost 100 lbs How becoming a Minimalist has transformed his business life and his family life Black Hole of Fitness Doom Why "hard work" failed him in fitness, health and business. How being an athlete got him ready to become obese Nutritional ADD... do you have it? How he stopped being a "Crap Magnet" His direct connection to HH The Dhali Lama How becoming a Minimalist has transformed his business life and his family life His 4 step plan that anyone can use to get healthy Why you don't need a new diet or fitness program What he did to become debt free in his early 30's that contradicted everything you know about goals His 24 hour challenge that can and will transform your life!

Rob Dube: Do Nothing!

It can feel like an impossible set of choices: leadership or family life. Being an entrepreneur, growing a business, and becoming a leader seem to be on one side, and on the other there's finding a life partner, maybe having children, and being present for your family. It all seems like an impossible balancing act, one that every leader has to face, and where stress and anxiety become an everyday way of living. Attempting to fulfill this juggling act can make it seem like many things are going to get dropped, or that there is no real way to succeed. But what if we’re going about this all wrong?  What if instead of doing more, we actually need to do NOT just less, but nothing? Is that even possible?  Well, stay tuned because our guest on this episode is Rob Dube. He is co-founder of ImageOne, a Top 25 Forbes Small Giant. He's gone from Blow Pops to Forbes Best Small Companies! Rob started his first business in high school, when he was selling Blow Pops out of his locker. Today, he’s the founder of donothing and author of the best-selling book, Do Nothing - The most rewarding leadership challenge you will ever take.  Throughout Rob’s entrepreneurial journey, he’s developed an unwavering passion for delivering extraordinary experiences that positively impact the lives of his team members, the goals of their customers, and the fabric of the community. He delivers a unique approach to business that has driven the company to success in its industry, as well as to its rank of being a top workplace. imageOne is simply the best at helping clients optimize and manage print; automate business processes; and secure documents. They are well-known as an exceptional company, receiving local and national recognition for having a multi-award-winning culture. On This Episode We Go FullMonty on: Why leaders have it backwards when it comes to being truly successful The place for transparency in business (and why he and his team take it all the way) Why doing more won't get you what you want The first time he did nothing... and how mind altering it can be Why his company teaches financial literacy to all employees Companies That Choose to Be Focused on Being Great Instead of Big Profits A turning point in Rob's life, leadership, and business philosophy And much more...

Brandon Evans: Lost on Purpose

Creating Conscious Leadership and Conscious Businesses We leaders come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and varieties; as leaders we are all driven. The questions that we so often skip over is: Where are we really driving to, and why? If you are a highly successful leader or entrepreneur, you have likely had at least a couple of moments where you’ve wondered what’s it all about. You've maybe even asked yourself what the real point is, or why you're even pursuing whatever it is that you are pursuing. For some leaders, getting to the heart of what that question means is a natural evolution, while for others it's forced by a painful circumstance or situation. Nonetheless, we all get there eventually!  The question is: What has to happen for you to have the kind of awakening that will transform the meaning of your life?  Well, stay tuned because our guest on this episode is Brandon Evans. Brandon is a serial entrepreneur who previously built two companies valued at over $100M, but after experiencing what he describes as a spiritual awakening. His focus has shifted dramatically!  Brandon's new company, 1heart, has a mission to foster a new generation of heart-led leaders who are birthing conscious companies, ultimately using business as a force for good to transform lives and the planet.  On this episode we go FullMonty about: Facing the dilemma of having all the success, yet realizing he was out of sync with his values Facing the internal battle of letting go How he (and many other leaders) try to do the inner journey of self discovery and fail (until they don't) Heart-led leadership The viral article he wrote, titled: Lost on Purpose What does it mean to be a conscious leader? Is there a place for what some call "woo-woo" practices in leadership? Getting fired by investors from the company he founded (after 3 straight years of 300%+ growth) And so much more...

Chris Dyer: The Power of Company Culture (audio)

Can you and I build a culture that improves productivity, performance, and profit...even if everyone’s remote? Corporate culture is where the rubber meets the road between leadership and those we lead. Unfortunately, as much as we might intellectually know that, oftentimes leaders don’t know specifically what to do to create the kind of culture they want. Furthermore, in an age where more and more of us are working with and leading virtual teams, we have to ask ourselves how culture works in this new context. If all that interests you, stay tuned because our guest on this episode is Chris Dyer, a recognized performance expert, entrepreneur, consultant, and best selling author. Chris works with leading organizations to help them transform their cultures in order to boost performance and gain an even greater edge in the marketplace.  He’s the author of the bestselling book: The Power of Company Culture and is the Founder and CEO of PeopleG2, a company that has appeared on the Inc. 5000 list of the Fastest Growing Companies. On this episode we go FullMonty on: 7 pillars of corporate culture Transparency…where it starts and how far to go Why leaders need to stop focusing on fixing problems How Chris used the recession to transform his business Why leading companies are committed to community involvement Why the official employee engagement numbers (which are very low) are dead wrong Why Chris loves working with remote teams (and how you can too) Why you should say "yes"way more often And so much more...

Joshua Spodek Initiative: Bring Your Passions to Life (audio)

Leadership and the Environment Is a conversation about climate change and the environment relevant to you and I as leaders… or is it just the flavour of the day? Environmental issues are part of the everyday news cycle. But here’s the big question: If we think above and beyond either side of the discussion (and the environment being used a political catapult), are these issues relevant to us as leaders of industries? And if so, why are they relevant?  Well stay tuned because we are about to take a dive into this controversial subject.  Our guest on this episode is Joshua Spodek. He’s the bestselling author of Leadership Step by Step, and his resume is far beyond impressive! Joshua is an Adjunct Professor at NYU, leadership coach and workshop leader for Columbia Business School, columnist for Inc., and founder of Spodek Academy. He has led seminars in leadership, entrepreneurship, creativity, and sales at Harvard, Princeton, MIT, the New York Academy of Science, and in private corporations. He co-founded and led (as CEO or COO) several ventures, and holds six patents. He also holds five (5) Ivy League degrees, and he studied under a Nobel Laureate. He’s visited North Korea twice, swam across the Hudson River, and has even done burpees daily since 2011 -- 130,000 and counting.  Due to his commitment to being a leader, he takes 16 months to produce one load of garbage, and in the age of easy access he (by choice) hasn’t flown since March 2016. He's the man Esquire’s Genius issue called “best and brightest”, and NBC said he’s an “astrophysicist turned new media whiz”. So let's welcome author of Initiative: Bring Your Passions to Life!, returning champion Joshua Spodek. On this episode, we go FullMonty on: Why we need to focus on initiative rather than entrepreneurship Why leadership is NOT about telling people what to do, pushing legislation without popular support, or spreading facts, figures, doom, and gloom Why we must learn to lead AND practice initiative Using your lack of integrity to become an outstanding leader Why you being a genuinely happy leader is so important to loyalty Why it's all about the "little things" And so much more...
