Recruitment Journeys: The Podcast Series (from Mint Recruitment)
For most Recruiters, it's a giant leap of faith to start one recruitment firm… Let alone three or four! But this is exactly what serial recruitment entrepreneur David “DJ” Jackson has done over his his 20+ year recruitment career. (And that's not including the ones that maybe haven't been so successful!) Dave doesn't like the word “entrepreneur”. He says that title is a little bit cringe. But, like it or not, that's exactly what he is. He's undoubtedly a man who takes risks, and turns opportunities and dreams into business realities. And that has been proven again most recently when DJ completely reinvented himself as a Brewer-extraordinaire of non-alcoholic, award-winning beer, Beneficial Beer. This podcast is a roller coaster ride. Hope you can keep up!
Edited highlights of our full conversation. Here's a question. How much of your real self are you showing? This week's guest is DJ Jackson. He's the Vice President of Brand at EA Sports. They're a division of Electronic Arts and one of the world's largest developers and publishers of sports video games. Their slogan, “If it's in the game, it's in the game,” has become a reference point for judging the authenticity of their games. Leading a business that exists in the digital world means straddling artificiality and reality. Information and emotion. Which is a lot like leadership. Leadership has gone through a generational shift in the least three years. Leadership as a performance, which worked for more than half a century, has been made extinct overnight. Human leadership is the complicated, contradictory path to success - both professionally and personally. That creates a challenge for most of us. How much of ourselves do we want to show the world? And how much do we want to keep behind the curtain? But even that has become complex. Because today's world class talent aren't willing to accept whatever you're willing to give. They have their own needs and expectations, too. First among which is they want to work for fully formed human beings. People with feelings, who don't always have all the answers. There's a fine line balancing the confidence that all leaders need to project, with the vulnerability that comes from being a self-aware human. Where are you on that continuum? How much of your real self are you showing?

Whether you know him as the “Ram-Man”, the “Kimura Kid” or as simply a relentless pressure machine terrorizing competition with his takedowns and crushing top game, DJ Jackson joins us on the latest episode of The Unknown Strength Podcast, all the way from the United States, in Maryland. We talk strategy, how DJ cultivates his ‘game', who he would like to face in a super-fight (*cough* Kit Dale), as well as his aspirations for the UFC.
