This episode of BS with Bob Schmidt features Chip Lutz author of the book “Get Past the Crap” we talk about how life s a big crap sandwich at different times in our lives and we basically have three decisions and you can take it in and we can ignore it, but most of the time if we do it just gets worse. It sits there and festers and get worse. We can take in and go and complain you know it may eventually consume us. But if we think of it truthfully, take option three, which is just take a big bite and you push through it, you know, push through it wherever you're face to face it, head on to be. A lot of times, you know, we're looking at something that might be negative, but for me I tried to twist around like, all right, this is a really crappy situation. What's the positive in the situation? You know, what can you maybe didn't learn out of this? Want to know more? Listen to the podcast. Featuring Charles “Chip” Lutz

This episode, I get to talk to someone who I love, have great respect for, and who makes me laugh, all while teaching me something new about life and leadership. It's none other than Chip Lutz, the Unconventional Leader. I met Chip several years back at the National Speakers Association chapter in Wisconsin, and we have been friends ever since. We've shared a room at convention, he's gotten his certified speaking professional, I moved away to Tampa, and we've kept bantering on lots of things. What I love about Chip's leadership style is it really is unconventional. He admits there are no secrets to great leadership, and he focuses his message on looking at the common every day things in very uncommon ways. Chip served in the Navy and retired as an officer, after earning the rank of chief in the enlisted Navy. He is remarkable - and he will knock your socks off with his witty humorous ways of talking about leadership. Chip is offering you a free copy of his book Leadership by the Numbers, just for signing up for his newsletter at UnconventionalLeader.com, where he shares his unconventional look at leadership each and every month. Enjoy this episode about unconventional leadership, serving in the Navy, and using humor.  Connect more with Chip Lutz Follow Chip Lutz on Twitter Connect with Chip on Facebook Get Chip's free ebook at UnconventionalLeader.com Stay tuned for Chip's new podcast, Leadership Happy Hour, coming to you in January 2017.

Chip Lutz, a member of the LedgeRock Golf Club, shares with Zeke his outstanding success on the local scene before primarily concentrating on national and international events as a senior golfer. "Running our business was a priority while raising our kids," Lutz tells Zeke. "When Bonnie and I became empty-nesters, I had the time to invest my time, energy and resources to be the best golfer I can be." Lutz won eight Berks County Golf Association titles before having expanding his golfing horizons. Lutz explains to Zeke the Lutz family tradition of naming their sons John. Lutz's father was named John, but everybody knew him as Buddy, a Mount Penn funeral director who played on the PGA Tour in the early 1950s. Buddy named his three sons John but gave them nicknames that stuck -- Wedge, Putter and Chip. "My sister should have been named Sandy," Lutz jests. Lutz also tells Zeke about his interactions with Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus as well as his favorite golf courses in the world. “I played with Arnold Palmer three times,” he says. “It was an honor to be with him and I enjoyed the moment. I've been in Jack Nicklaus' company at Concession Golf Club in Sarasota, Florida, a course he helped design. What a gracious man.” Lutz has played many outstanding courses in the world but as for his favorite, he tells Zeke, "I haven't met one I didn't like."

Chip Lutz, a member of the LedgeRock Golf Club, shares with Zeke the story of his remarkable golf year and his amazing success as one of the top senior amateurs in the world. "The last seven years I have taken my golf game to a whole new level," Lutz tells Zeke. "One of my goals when I became a senior at age 55 was to bring my game up and become competitive at that level. No. 55 was a magic number for me as I prepared to be competitive at that point and it has been a success for me." Lutz, 61, talks to Zeke about capturing his third British Senior Amateur title this summer at England's Formsby Golf Club in thrilling fashion, birdieing the first hole of a three-way sudden death playoff, and being the only amateur to make the cut in the U.S. Senior Open at Scioto Country Club in suburban Columbus, Ohio -- finishing in a tie for 37th. "It was a thrilling finish in the British Senior Amateur," Lutz tells Zeke. "I played well enough to enter into a three-way tie. In the playoff they play the 18th hole repeatedly until there is a winner. As it turns out, I managed to get it done on the first try. The greens are different over there. There are a lot more refinements and different approaches to the game." Lutz also shares with Zeke his disappointment about his play in the U.S. Senior Amateur Championship in St. Louis. Lutz, the defending champion, advanced to match play by shooting a 7-over 149 after 36 holes to place 45th -- with the top 64 advancing. But he lost in the round of 32 at Old Warson Country Club, losing in match play to 2012 champ Paul Simson 5-and-3. Lutz also has won two Canadian Senior Amateur titles.

Host Craig Price celebrates the 100th episode with a speakers roundtable. A collection of past guests (and a new one) talk about being a speaker, their mistakes and why they do it. During the National Speakers Association convention this past July, Craig gathered Avish Parashar, Robert Bradford, Steve Rizzo, Jess Pettitt and new friend Patrick Maurer to talk about the ups and downs of being a speaker. What is a professional speaker? Is it just the check that makes you a professional or is there more to it? What do other speakers do that irritates you? What monumental mistakes have you made (this is where the explicit tag comes into play!)? Why do you do what you do?  Get ready for a fun, enlightening discussion as Craig juggles 5 guests at the same time!  Some huge thanks go to Ed Rigsbee with the Cigar PEG for the location. Finding a place for 6 people to record was a daunting task but Ed made it easy peasy. Please go to CigarPEG.com and learn about this great charity and how you can contribute. Also thanks to past guest Chip Lutz for being the bouncer at the speakers roundtable. He was the sole audient (is that a word? it is now) and kept the riff-raff out of the room while the podcast was being recorded.  One of the cool things about the convention was that so many past guests were in attendance so Craig commissioned a quick group photo to commemorate the occasion.  

LCDR Chip Lutz, USN(Ret), MSEd, CLL (whew, that's a lot of letters!) joins Craig to discuss his 22 years of service in the Navy, where he was on 9/11, how the war in the Middle East made him a single parent (not what you think!) and why a little laughter can go a long way.
