Ordinarily, I wrote my own guest introduction. For this episode, however, I'm using an introduction from Julius himself, taken from his August 2018 retirement article in The Players' Tribune:"I’m ready to admit that I’m okay with giving up the identity of 'Julius the football player.' I’m O.K. with not being recognized as an NFL athlete — because I’m more than that. I have stepped out of my identity before, and I will continue to do it again and again throughout life. I believe helping others is what I’m supposed to be doing at this point in my life. Hopefully I can help by encouraging more of my peers to connect with who they are outside of the game. If ultimately that’s what I’m remembered for, I’d be very thankful.Because this is the thing I want to do most in the world, and now, I’m going to give all of myself to it."https://www.theplayerstribune.com/en-us/articles/football-julius-thomas-journey-into-selfJoined by Miami Dolphins Chaplain, Terry Boynton (a previous guest on the show) we discuss Julius' journey from professional athlete to PHD student, his desire to help others with their emotions and feelings and the power of talk therapy. We also collectively discuss the impact of stress and breaking down emotional cultural norms.This is a really powerful episode for anyone interested in learning about the importance of mental health.

Thinking of starting your own podcast? Good. Now let's talk about the podcasters mindset! There's a lot of misunderstanding when it comes to podcasting. Allow two experienced podcasters that both own their business (one in marketing and insurance and the other in legal) help you understand what to think about when it comes to podcasting and content in general. If you are a lawyer, financial advisor, insurance agent, or business professional, we hope this chat helps disclose some truth behind starting a podcast -- all of it to help you build the podcasters mindset.  ------ If you are in a professional services business, you are probably thinking, why would I have a podcast? Let this conversation be your guide as to why you should have a podcast as an individual in a professional service business. While this chat is some months old, it is absolutely applicable right now. Since this chat, the individual Eric speaks with, Michael Elkins started his own lawn firm, MLE Law in Miami, Florida. There are references to his old firm which proves that creating content applies to both someone at a larger firm and someone running their own business. The bottom line is, if you are a business leader with specific thoughts to share, you should consider creating content either on your own or with a team. We hope you enjoy this chat about podcasting with both Eric Kasimov of KazSource and Michael Elkins of MLE Law.  The post EP092 | The Podcasters Mindset appeared first on KazSource.

He’s currently an author, motivational speaker, NFL analyst, and podcaster . He’s also a 30-year NFL front office veteran, working directly for Bill Walsh, Al Davis and Bill Belichick to name a few. He’s won 3 Super Bowls, 1 with the San Francisco 49ers and 2 recently, Super Bowls 49 and 51 with the New England Patriots.As an NFL innovator he’s credited with being one of the first executives to scout moral character. Bill Belichick described Michael as “one of the smartest people [he's] worked with” and if I were you I’d consider taking some notes because Michael’s intelligence and wisdom are on full display in this show as we discuss all different topics related to his book Gridiron Genius where he provides lessons in leadership and life as learned from some of the greatest leaders in sports.Some topics discussed: Culture: how to build it, how to foster it and how to grow it … as learned from Walsh and Belichick; Leadership: Michael discusses his 5 pillars of leadership which were cultivated over his 30 year NFL journey; Growth Mindset: We talk about having a wide breadth of knowledge beyond one’s chosen discipline as means t be successful professionally and personally. There is so much covered in what is easily one of the most in-depth and fascinating episodes I've ever done. I hope you enjoy listening to Michael as much as I did. So, without further-adieu, I give you world famous, NFL Front Office legend, Michael Lombardi.Enjoy the show!

Christina Qi’s reputation as the most sought after woman in her industry is well earned. Right after graduating from MIT, she co-founded Domeyard, a high-frequency trading hedge fund that was started out of her dorm room. Six years later, at the ripe old age of twenty seven, Christina and her co-founders are now the preeminent forces in the Hedge Fund and FinTech space. Christina’s list of accomplishments is astounding, though you’d be hard-pressed to get her to discuss them. Christina and her co-founders have been named to the Forbes 30 Under 30, they’ve received front page features in Forbes, and the Nikkei (which is the world’s largest financial newspaper). Additionally, Christina has been quoted in the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg News, and the Financial Times. She’s also a visiting lecturer at MIT and Domeyard, despite its short existence, is now a case study for MBA Students at Harvard Business School. Christina and Domeyard didn’t just disrupt their industry, they turned it on its head. In this episode, Christina and I discuss business culture, disruption, emotion versus logic, raising venture capital and for good measure, her thoughts on the New England sports scene. Christina brings humility, empathy and humanity to an industry long stereotyped as one of arrogance and ruthlessness.
