Have you ever thought about the power and opportunity of curating a mastermind group of C-suite executives and business leaders? What sort of qualifications come to mind that you think you’d need to persuade them to join? Executive coach John Murphy, founder of a mastermind called “A Life and a Living,” joins us to discuss the two edges of this sword. One is executive qualifications – it’s probably easier to do this if you’ve actually been a CEO, COO or senior leader in a company. But the other’s harder to define, because you actually aren’t looking to impress people but to confess to them. In Chapter 7 of “Influencer Networking Secrets” the book, you’ll learn that the proper approach to curating your tribe is to have both; a list of skills and accomplishments as virtues, coupled with a raw, vulnerable and honest acknowledgment of your humanity and weakness. “None of us can compartmentalize ourselves, so that ‘this bit of me’ turns up for work and ‘that bit of me’ stays home.” – John Murphy In this episode: John’s dizzying ascent from entry level life insurance salesman to CEO of Friends Provident – and how personal tragedy torpedoed his visit to the summit Why we’re UNWISE to neglect dealing with people’s personal growth, even if we help them grow professionally How you can dodge infection, avoid business failure or job loss during COVID-19 … and STILL encounter massive personal failure even if you do well at work! The signs blood was shed and the streets that give cred – the CRITICAL pieces you need to start an executive mastermind! Resources Visit John's Website HERE:

Morgan lives in the suburbs of Colorado Springs with his wife, Cherie, and their two children. Every chance he gets, you can find him in the wilderness. “Find like-hearted kings living in the same direction. Sign treaties.

When vulnerability is core to your brand, what do you do with an abundance of time? You create an abundance of space. TEDx speaker, CEO of Round Table Companies and creator of the Virtual Vulnerability Wall, Corey Blake joins us for his third appearance on Influencer Networking Secrets to talk about the power of walls that talk. Corey’s company created the Virtual Vulnerability Wall as a place people could expel their inner fear, chaos, ugliness and brokenness – to be rendered beautifully through stylized graphics and calligraphy by his graphic artistry team. The results are as gripping and gorgeous as when human beings drop the façade and take ownership for their failures – it opens the door to healing, correction and renewal. “There’s something about letting things go, that creates psychological relief. When people return to the wall and see it as art … it shifts from something hidden to a moment of ownership.” – Corey Blake In this episode: How creating space for people to release their darkness into the light makes beauty from ashes The challenge we face bringing vulnerability to a world that isn’t used to it The importance of forgiving yourself when you own your behavior Corey’s misinterpreted “sidelining” during COVID-19, and how you don’t need to be a nurse or truck driver to be “on the front lines” Resources Enter Your Submission for the Virtual Vulnerability Wall HERE:
