On today’s show, we interview executive coach, keynote speaker, and renowned author, Todd Palmer who shares with us his distilled wisdom on grit, entrepreneurship, and mentorship. Back in 1988, while Todd was still enrolled as an undergraduate the Eastern Michigan University, he took up a permanent teaching job at a community college. But just as things were looking up for Todd, he lost his job. And to make things worse, his personal life hit a rough patch as his marriage ended in a divorce. A single father with no income, Todd decided to take the bull by its horns and start his own business in 2007. This, however, was easier said than done because he found that no banks were willing to back him up. Fortunately for Todd, his mentor lent him $20K using which Todd bootstrapped his business – Diversified Industrial Staffing in 1997. After two years of hyper-growth, Todd found himself saddled with $600,000 in debt. So, he had his elder brother step in as a mentor, and they mutually decided that some drastic measures were in order. So, in 2006, he decided to completely restructure his business. And he started this process by firing his entire staff. These efforts paid off big time as Todd’s business was featured in Inc. 5,000 Fastest-Growing list SIX (!) times in a row. Despite his entrepreneurial success, Todd felt unfulfilled. At this juncture, he decided to pivot once again and don the hat of an executive coach. A sought-after thought leader in his field, Todd shares the importance of staying vulnerable and authentic. Enjoy!

We live in a society that teaches that there's only two paths, win or lose. But the path to success isn't that simple, and one key ingredient of success is learning from failure. The truth is, there's no such thing as failure. As Nelson Mandela so famously quoted, “I either win, or I learn.” Even when things don't seem to be working out, we're learning valuable lessons. To succeed in business and in life, we need to understand that we won't always win in the traditional sense, and that's okay! We have to stop torturing ourselves for making mistakes. In this episode, Founder and CEO of Extraordinary Advisors, Todd Palmer shares how to fail forward. If you're not failing forward, you're not succeeding. -Todd Palmer Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode How to be intentional in everything we do Whether we're struggling with finding the right systems to implement in our businesses or facing something out of our control, like a pandemic, challenges are inevitable. It's how we handle the challenge that determines if we win. Why we must lean into uncomfortable conversations It's okay to feel stuck in a box, but we have to tell people. Communicate about potential problems and ask for help. Uncomfortable conversations are often more uncomfortable in our heads than they are in the real world, so lean into them. How to embrace mistakes rather than fear them When things don't go according to plan, we get an opportunity to learn from our mistakes and grow from them. There's no way to lose; we either win, or we learn. Guest Bio Todd Palmer is the Founder, President and CEO of Extraordinary Advisors.

Failure is sometimes a better teacher than success. But too often, when we run into failure, we don’t see the learning opportunity. We believe the lie that it’s the end.

Rules are meant to be broken! I know it's not something you heard from your Mom but I know that's something you've heard along the way (I know I have). For me, as an Unconventional Leader, life is about looking at things (and doing things) against the norm and I know that's how you look at things as well. You're in luck because this week on the show, I talk with the Chief Rule Breaker, Todd Palmer.
