Podcasts about entrepreneurial mindset

What if becoming a manager isn't the upgrade you've been led to believe?What if you could grow your influence and your impact, without giving up the work you actually love doing? In this episode, Filippos Protogeridis shares why traditional UX career ladders don't always work and how he carved out a leadership path that didn't require a team of direct reports.A lot of mid-level and senior designers assume the only way to advance their careers is to become managers. But what if that path isn't right for you? What if there are better options? In this episode, I talk with Filippos Protogeridis, who shares his journey from founding designer to head of product design at a rapidly growing healthtech startup in London.Filippos didn't follow the traditional ladder. Instead of giving up hands-on work, he redefined what leadership looks like for his role, blending vision work, hiring, mentoring, and strategy with the design work he still loves. We talk about why most companies get the “promotion to management” thing all wrong, and how to think more clearly about what you actually want from your next step.If you've been wrestling with questions about growth, leadership, and what it really means to “level up” in UX, this episode is for you. Tune in and rethink what success in design leadership can look like.Topics:• 05:00 – Filippos' Background and Journey• 06:43 – Challenges in Leadership Transition• 14:20 – The Importance of Hiring and Letting Go• 26:33 – Hands-On Leadership and Visioning• 34:54 – Types of Design Leadership Roles• 41:42 – Impact of Layoffs on Leadership• 42:21 – Shift in Hiring Trends• 43:03 – Lean Management and Hands-On Roles• 43:47 – Challenges and Opportunities in Hybrid Roles• 46:21 – Embracing the Founding Designer Mode• 48:53 – Market Chaos and Its Impact• 49:38 – Entrepreneurial Mindset in Large Organizations• 54:58 – Closing Thoughts on Leadership and FollowershipHelpful Links:• Connect with Filippos on LinkedIn• Designary.com—Thanks for listening!

Plus, a look inside Dan's mission to sell 40,000 copies of Teach to Sell—and how his team is making it happen.What you'll learn on this episodeRetention is predictable: most team members don't last 90 days, but those who do often stay for six years.Growth isn't for everyone: many people reject personal development, and that's okay. It helps filter for the right fit.Hiring is a 50/50 game: even with careful hiring, 50% might not be a fit. But the right 50% will stay long-term.Virtual assistants need a roadmap: give clarity, structure, and leadership not just tasks.Leadership is partnership: don't just assign goals; co-create the plan and give them the tools to succeed.Time is more valuable than money: trade a little money to get back your time and reinvest it wisely.Scaling requires leverage: leverage people, processes, and time to grow beyond your limits.Metrics matter: Dan shares his exact investment-to-return model using showing agents to close contracts.Culture drives retention: people stay where they feel supported, guided, and aligned with a bigger mission.Certainty creates magnetism: Dan's confidence in his 40,000 book goal inspires belief and follow-through.Want to Lead With Clarity and Build a Team That Lasts?Teach to Sell goes beyond traditional sales—it's about becoming the kind of leader people want to follow. If you're trying to scale with virtual assistants, build loyalty, or create a mission-driven team that sticks, this book gives you the mindset and frameworks to do it right.

In this episode, Lisa and Stephen discuss:Entrepreneurial mindset development for comprehensive student growthCareer readiness beyond traditional educational frameworksSoft skills as critical professional success indicatorsFamily's strategic role in cultivating adaptive thinking skillsKey Takeaways: Entrepreneurial skills can be intentionally developed through a framework of four interconnected pillars: growth mindset, grit, redefining failure, and seeking opportunities, all of which reshape how students approach challenges and growth.Embedding student-run business experiences within schools creates a powerful learning model that equips students with practical skills, teamwork, and real-world problem-solving beyond traditional academics.The idea of “follow your passion” is misleading, as true passion is cultivated through skill-building, consistent practice, and long-term commitment.Crafting a clear family mission and defined core values empowers teens with resilience and a decision-making framework for navigating personal and professional challenges. “We're not just churning out entrepreneurs.

In the latest episode of The Tactical Leader Podcast, host Zack Knight sits down with Marine veteran, motivational speaker, and entrepreneur T. Shane Johnson to discuss his extraordinary journey from military service to business success. T. Shane's story is one of resilience, survival, and a relentless commitment to helping others, particularly in the veteran community. From surviving an MS-13 gang attack to launching Big Guns Coffee, his path is both inspiring and deeply impactful.The Marine Corps and the Entrepreneurial MindsetT. Shane shared his motivations for joining the Marine Corps, emphasizing the discipline, determination, and brotherhood that shaped his character. The mindset of a Marine—adapt and overcome—proved invaluable in his transition to entrepreneurship. Zack and T. Shane discussed how veterans possess a unique drive and resilience that make them natural leaders in the business world.A Harrowing Near-Death ExperienceOne of the most gripping moments in the episode was T. Shane's recounting of a brutal attack by MS-13. While riding his motorcycle, he was deliberately hit by a car, leaving him with severe injuries, including broken bones, internal organ damage, and punctured lungs. Despite flatlining multiple times, he fought his way back, determined to use his second chance at life to make a difference.A New Mission: Helping Others Find PurposeAfter recovering, T. Shane faced another challenge—transitioning to civilian life. He initially found success in the mortgage industry, but when the 2008 financial crisis hit, he lost everything and found himself homeless. Rather than giving up, he rebuilt from the ground up, using his story to inspire others through books, public speaking, and initiatives like Hike Across America, where he ran 12,000 miles to raise awareness for homeless veterans and suicide prevention.Redefining Homelessness: The Power of IdentityT. Shane spoke passionately about the need to rebrand homelessness and help those affected regain their sense of self-worth. He proposed an initiative where homeless individuals could write and publish books, sharing their stories as a way to reclaim their identity and generate income.
