7 Strategies to Build a Better Now in Life and Business In this episode of A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso I have a powerful conversation that could change the way you experience every moment of your life and your business. My guest, Greg Bennick, speaker, humanitarian, and author of the inspiring new book Reclaim the Moment: 7 Strategies to Build a Better Now, joins me to share how to stop letting life and your business slip by and instead start living it with intention. Greg has spent years speaking around the world about resilience, meaning, and transformation. In Reclaim the Moment, he offers seven practical strategies that help you take back control of your time, your focus, build your business team, and ultimately your joy. Whether you feel stuck in the past, overwhelmed in the present, or anxious about the future, Greg's insights will guide you toward living and doing your business more fully and with greater purpose. This is not just another interview about self-help or business theory. Greg brings raw stories, proven strategies, and a deeply human perspective that will challenge you to shift from being passive in your own life to becoming active, intentional, and engaged. These are tools you can start applying immediately—in your relationships, your business, your career, your personal goals, and your mindset. Tune in for practical wisdom, heartfelt stories, and a fresh outlook on how to reclaim the moment and build a better now. And if you can't catch us live, make sure to listen later to the replay—you won't want to miss this conversation that could spark the change you've been waiting for. You and your business will be grateful you did! Greg Bennick's book, "Reclaim the Moment: 7 Strategies to Build a Better Now", is a fun and insightful read.  Greg, takes stories from his life that are both filled with humor and meaning.  He also uses research to support his ideas, taking them from theory to reality. The fact about this book is really going to build a better you and a better business.  Greg's 7 Strategies may be some things you have heard before, but he expands on them in a unique and insightful way.  These 7 strategies, if you follow his prescription will take you and your business from ordinary to extraordinary. I found two of them especially important when dealing in my own business that I could use work to develop.  The first is "Laughter".  In the world of business where everything is so serious, we don't take the time to laugh in our places of employment. And yes there is room for it! The benefits of laughter are both physiological and psychological, and desperately needed in a way too serious world. The second was the Reverberation Effect™.  The whole idea that we can start with an idea, and then connect with others, and rather than it losing steam we actually can amplify it.

How Peer-to-Peer Networks Will Surpass the Best CEO Driven Companies What if your smartest move as a leader is to stop trying to be the smartest person in the room? Join me on A New Direction with Coach Jay, as I sit down with Rod Collins, author of Nobody Is Smarter than Everybody: Why Self-Managed Teams Make Better Decisions and Deliver Extraordinary Results. We're diving into the playbook that replaces top-down control with collective intelligence through peer-to-peer teams—and shows why the crowd, when organized well, consistently outperforms the lone hero. In this conversation, you'll discover the seven power shifts of peer-to-peer networking teams: from hierarchy to networks, meetings to real-time cycles, opinions to evidence, secrecy to radical transparency, bottlenecks to distributed decision-making, rigid plans to rapid iteration, and compliance to shared ownership. If you lead a business, a sales team, or a creative squad, you'll walk away with practical ways to unlock faster decisions, higher accountability, and outcomes your competition can't match. We'll get tactical. How do you set clear decision rights without a bossy org chart? What metrics matter when peer-to-peer teams manage themselves? How do you replace status meetings with continuous, visible workflows? Rod will break down through real life examples that you can deploy this week—think peer commitments, short feedback loops, and “the few rules that create a lot of freedom.” Expect examples, frameworks, and step-by-step moves you can test immediately. Bring your team, your questions, and your curiosity. Tune in and listen in to  a conversation that could change how you lead—and how your people thrive. Miss it live? No worries: catch the replay and share it with your whole organization. LISTEN IN RIGHT HERE and let's prove, together, that nobody is smarter than everybody. Rod Collin's Book "Nobody Is Smarter Than Everybody: Why Self-Managed Teams Make Better Decisions and Deliver Extraordinary Results" is a mind bender of a book.  As open of a mindset that I believe I had, and as much of a growth mindset that I believe I operate in...Nobody is Smarter Than Everybody challenged me. Honestly, I have lived in a hierarchical world.  Where I am used to someone being in charge and being the leader that makes the decisions.  In fact, I am that person.  The thought of peer-to-peer groups actually being faster and more efficient seemed so counterintuitive to me.  To embrace it was a mindset challenge I needed to change. However, as I read the book and reading example after example of how peer-to-peer teams embraced this change of structure, I found myself realizing it is the correct model. Can we be honest with each other?  Technology is moving faster than one human can adapt to.  In the technological and AI world we find ourselves, we cannot individually handle the amount of information and utilize it effectively.  Let's also state a fact that here we are in the 21st Century, operating business with early 20th Century Industrial Revolution model.  It simply cannot work. We need peer-to-peer solutions with all the combined brain power. This is where Nobody is Smarter than Everybody comes in.  Rod Collins makes the strong case with examples of how if we are going to compete with networks we need to become a network utilizing all the brain power we have available to us in our companies by shedding the egos and titles and finding solutions to our business problems. You may be thinking to yourself, well, that will never work for my business.  Someone has to make the decisions, it will be too slow, nothing will get done.  Well, I asked the same questions, but think again, because it does work, and work consistently.  Our problem is that we don't like change, and rather than embrace it, we resist it. This isn't some fuzzy, feel good book, this is a business book with factual evidence that demonstrates to everyone that if we are going to be...

26 Jerks in the Work Place...Are You 27? Your workplace should be a place of growth, teamwork, and purpose—but what happens when one person throws it all off track? In his new book The One-Minute Jerk at Work, Rich Salon—better known as “Rich the HR Guy”—shines a bright light on the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways toxic behaviors can creep into your office and derail your career. On this episode of A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso, we'll unpack these behaviors, why they matter, and what you can do about them. Have you ever had a coworker like Wesley the Weasel who constantly takes credit for your ideas, or Micromanaging Maria who micromanages every move, or Rumor Mill Roger who thrives on stirring up drama with Rumors? Rich calls them “one-minute jerks”—people who may only need sixty seconds to poison a conversation, a meeting, or even an entire workplace culture. Together, we'll explore the practical tools from his book that help you identify these jerks early and stop their behavior from taking root. But this conversation isn't just about spotting the jerks around you—it's also about a little self-reflection. Could you be number 27...the one-minute jerk without realizing it? Rich's insights go beyond finger-pointing and invite us to hold up a mirror, recognize blind spots in our own behavior, and make changes that foster trust, respect, and productivity. Whether you're a leader trying to build a stronger team, an employee navigating difficult dynamics, or simply someone who wants to work in a healthier environment, this episode will give you the strategies to create a more positive and effective workplace. Join me, Coach Jay, for this powerful and eye-opening discussion with Rich Salon—because the jerk at work doesn't have to win. Rich Salon's book, "The One-Minute Jerk at Work" is a fun, fast, educational read that you will take with you to work immediately.  You will be diagnosing your co-workers and wondering why they became a "Micromanaging Maria" or a "Pessimist Pete" and how they are disrupting the workplace. The next question is "what can I do about it?" Rich offers suggestions there too. The book also comes with self-reflecting questions that you need to ask yourself.  The fact is we all lack self-awareness and Rich Salon wants to make sure that you are also taking a close look at yourself because while there are 26 mentioned in the book you may be number 27. Insightful, enjoyable and well written, The One-minute Jerk at Work will be a fun read to explore and do some critical self-analysis so you avoid being a "Jerk at Work" yourself.

Business Start Your Engines with 5 Flags to Enhance your Sales and Strategy Why do so many companies struggle to grow—even when they have talented sales teams and visionary executives? On the next episode of A New Direction, I, Coach Jay Izso, sit down with Wall Street Journal Best Selling Author Scott Edinger to discuss his latest book, The Growth Leader. Scott's research uncovers a costly disconnect between the C-Suite and the sales force—driven by the fact that business strategy and sales strategy often live in separate worlds. The result? Leaders obsess over quotas and transactions instead of delivering a powerful, customer-driven experience. In The Growth Leader, Scott shows that bridging this gap is not just possible—it's essential. And it starts with what he calls The 5 Flags Start: Define Success, Embrace Your Power Play, Identify Your Customer, Create Value, and Execute. Each of these steps is a practical move any leader can take to transform how their organization thinks about growth, sales alignment, and customer engagement. During this episode, Scott will break down each of these 5 Flags, revealing how they help leaders align their vision with real-world sales execution. You'll hear why defining success goes far beyond revenue targets, how to identify your “power play” that differentiates you in the market, why knowing your customer is non-negotiable, and how creating true value leads to stronger, longer-lasting business relationships. And finally—how to stop talking about growth and start executing it. If you're an executive, entrepreneur, or sales leader who's tired of missed targets, siloed thinking, and wasted potential, this is the episode you can't afford to miss. Join us live Wednesday, August 13th at 5:30 pm Eastern, and discover how to align your strategy, empower your sales team, and lead your organization into sustainable, customer-focused growth. Scott Edinger's book, "The Growth Leader: Strategies to Drive the Top and Bottom lines" is fundamentally and practically fantastic! The bottom line is this, you as a CEO want your team to sell more, you get frustrated because they are not selling.  So what do you do?  You send them to more training.  You give them more books to read.  And what do they come back with? More scripts, more words and phrases, how to convert, etc. And that's your problem!  Because do you know what is missing from all of this?  Zero focus on the customer experience...ZERO! Scott Edinger uncovers all of this through research and his success in the consulting field working fortune 50 clients, and finds the same problems occur in every business.  The business strategy is not connected to the sales team, which is the front line of your business, and closest to the customer, and rather than focus on the customer experience, they focus on quotas.  It doesn't work! This book is the straight talk about why your sales team is failing and, why you are not achieving the revenues that you desire.  It comes down to this one statement:  "You don't have a sales problem...you have a leadership problem".  And if you think clever sales techniques are the answer to your sales issues, or that by adding more pressure to your sales team will increase sales...think again... Because you're really not acting as a Growth Leader. Great book! Get your copy here! Please reach out to out great sponsors of A New Direction.

"But now, O Jacob, listen to the Lord who created you. O Israel, the one who formed you says, “Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you... I am the Lord , your Holy One, Israel's Creator and King. I am the Lord , who opened a way through the waters, making a dry path through the sea. I called forth the mighty army of Egypt with all its chariots and horses. I drew them beneath the waves, and they drowned, their lives snuffed out like a smoldering candlewick. “But forget all that— it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.

Don't confuse Human Hacking with Manipulation...Like Everything there can be a Dark Side, but Now When It Is Used for Good What if you could ethically influence others, build instant rapport, and create lasting positive impressions—just by understanding human behavior more deeply? On the next episode of A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso, we welcome Christopher Hadnagy, world-renowned social engineer, cybersecurity expert, and bestselling author of Human Hacking: Win Friends, Influence People, and Leave Them Better Off for Having Met You. This is not your average conversation about relationships or persuasion—this is a masterclass in human connection rooted in psychology, empathy, and real-world application. Chris has spent his career studying how people think, communicate, and make decisions. In this episode, he reveals how the same principles used in cybersecurity and social engineering can be powerfully applied to everyday life through social engineering or "human hacking"—whether you're leading a team, building a business, networking, or simply trying to be a better version of yourself. From decoding body language to navigating tough conversations, Chris breaks down the tools to ethically influence outcomes while making others feel seen, heard, and valued. We'll dive into practical techniques of human hacking that go beyond manipulation and into the realm of authentic connection—where the goal isn't just to get what you want, but to genuinely elevate the lives of those around you. Chris calls it “leaving people better off for having met you,” and he'll show us how to make that mindset the foundation of everything we do. If you're a leader, coach, entrepreneur, or simply someone who wants to have more meaningful and effective interactions, this episode is for you. Join Coach Jay Izso and Chris Hadnagy as we explore the hidden power of human behavior—and how mastering human hacking can change your relationships, your business, and your life. If you are looking to hire a great speaker and master of practical influence, please go to Chris' website Social Engineer | The Experts in Social Engineering Chris Hadnagy book, "Human Hacking: Win Friends, Influence People, and Leave Them Better Off for Having Met You" is absolutely phenomenal!  He starts by taking in to one of his jobs trying to break into a high security facility and then moves us into how he is able to get past security to find sensitive information.  Hold on...it's his job!  He is paid to do this. But what is even better, Chris pulls back the curtain and literally shows us how to use social-engineering or "human hacking" for the good in our everyday conversations and relationships.  Wait!  Before you go down the road of thinking this is some form of "manipulation"...it's not.  Chris acknowledges there is a "dark side" to human hacking, but what if we could use these skills for good?  What if we used them to enhance our relationships, communicate more effectively, be better sales people, be more authentic sales  people and yes, even increase our bottom lines by doing things the right way. The book is filled with detail after detail of how we can use "human hacking" for good, and not for evil.  He also gives us the secrets behind the darker side of manipulation by showing us what exactly a "con artist" is trying to do to you and how they use their skills to phish out information. Powerful and fun.  Practical and authentic.  This book is an eye-opener for anyone who really wants to understand the psychology of ourselves and others and how we can use these powerful tools to truly make the world a better place.

Never Give Up on Your Dream... How Baseball and More can Teach us Lessons That Can Encourage Us to Keep Pursuing our Dreams in both Life and Business. What if the path to your biggest dreams wasn't found in swinging for the fences, but in mastering the little things? On the next episode of A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso, we welcome Joel Goldberg, Emmy Award-winning broadcaster, television host, and veteran reporter who travels with the Kansas City Royals. Known for his front-row seat to Major League Baseball's highs and lows, Joel has spent decades learning not just about the game — but about the people who play it, and the everyday habits that create lasting success. Joel's latest book, Small Ball Big Dreams, takes readers inside the clubhouse and behind the curtain, sharing stories from professional athletes, business leaders, and high performers who've built elite cultures by focusing on what he calls “the small ball” — the consistent, intentional, behind-the-scenes efforts that don't always make the highlight reel, but win championships on and off the field. In this episode, we'll explore how values like trust, preparation, resilience, and human connection can radically transform organizations, teams, and lives. As Joel shares, greatness isn't built on grand gestures — it's found in the morning routines, the hard conversations, the extra reps, and the way leaders show up every single day. From World Series-winning clubhouses to Fortune 500 boardrooms, Small Ball Big Dreams reminds us that culture isn't something you declare — it's something you live, one small action at a time. ⚾ Join us  for a conversation that blends baseball wisdom, leadership insight, and practical takeaways for anyone chasing big dreams. Whether you're a fan of the game or just ready for a new direction in your life, this is one episode you won't want to miss! Joel Goldberg's book, "Small Ball Big Dreams", is an absolute gem.  Because of his career as an announcer and all his radio and TV travels, Joel interviews many of the stars that you know, and many that you don't know. But in every interview there are valuable lessons for staying with your dream, becoming a better leader, and living a better life. The book really emphasizes that your life is not a straight path.  It will have obstacles, challenges, and at time discouragement.  In fact, what you initial thought you were set out to do, may in fact change and that change with the right attitude, effort, and resiliency will prove to be more fulfilling and serve a great purpose than what you could have ever imagined. When I finished reading the book, I was challenged, but more so, I was inspired!  What will be the next challenge that will push me to my new direction?  What do I need to let go of, that I will become the person with a life that impacts others.  Perhaps former Major League umpire Te Bennett summed it up best, "You have got to look at yourself in the mirror, and ask, 'what can I do better?'."

Taika Waititi is officially directing a new Judge Dredd movie, with Drew Pearce (The Fall Guy, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation) writing the script. Both are longtime fans of the Dredd comics and are promising a return to the dark satire and heavy worldbuilding of the original 2000 AD stories.In this video, I break down everything we know about the project, including the team's goal to distance it from the 1995 and 2012 versions, their hopes for a Dredd universe, and whether Taika's style can actually work for something this gritty. I also share my own thoughts—because let's be honest, the Stallone and Urban movies still have their charm.Drop your thoughts in the comments: Are you excited for this version? Or worried it'll be too goofy for Mega-City One?

Columbia University has recently suffered a significant data breach, compromising the personal information of 1.8 million individuals, including social security numbers and financial aid details. The hacker, motivated by political opposition to affirmative action policies, claims to have stolen 460 gigabytes of sensitive data. This incident is part of a troubling trend of politically motivated cyber attacks targeting higher education institutions, particularly following the Supreme Court's decision to bar affirmative action practices in 2023. The limited media coverage of this breach raises concerns about data security and the integrity of academic institutions.In a related development, malware detection has surged by 171% in the first quarter of 2025, according to a report from WatchGuard Technologies. This increase highlights the growing sophistication of cyber threats that are outpacing traditional defenses. The report indicates a staggering 712% rise in new malware threats on endpoints, with the LSASS dumper identified as a leading threat. This trend underscores the need for organizations, especially universities and small businesses, to recognize the escalating risks and adapt their security strategies accordingly.Huntress has announced a collaboration with Microsoft to enhance cybersecurity for businesses, integrating its enterprise-grade solutions with Microsoft environments. This partnership aims to provide essential protections for endpoints and identities, allowing organizations to respond more effectively to cyber threats. Meanwhile, Microsoft is discontinuing the use of its Authenticator app for password storage, prompting users to transition to alternative solutions. This shift emphasizes the need for users to rethink their credential management strategies in light of evolving security practices.The podcast also touches on the implications of recent incidents involving major IT service providers, such as Ingram Micro's ransomware attack, which has raised concerns about vendor trust and supply chain fragility. As vendors face scrutiny following security breaches, the erosion of trust in their products becomes a significant issue for managed service providers (MSPs). Additionally, the discussion includes emerging concepts in artificial intelligence, such as context engineering, and the growing prevalence of AI note-takers in meetings, which raises questions about the balance between technological efficiency and human interaction in the workplace. Four things to know today 00:00 Columbia Breach and Malware Surge Show Why Compliance Alone Fails in Today's Threat Landscape04:19 Huntress and Microsoft Join Forces to Bring Enterprise-Grade Security to SMBs and MSPs07:18 Palo Alto Networks Denies Involvement in Ingram Micro Ransomware Attack08:53 MCP's Universal Plugin Model Could Transform MSP Integration and Governance This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by: https://mspradio.com/engage/ All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

This Sunday, as we celebrated Baptisms! Katy preached from Ephesians 2:1-10 on what its means to be in Christ—a reality where we move from death to life, disorientation to direction, and division to belonging. Baptism symbolizes this new life and eternal purpose. We're not alone; we're part of a restored family, empowered by the Spirit, called to follow Jesus and join in the renewal of our city.

St Kevin and the Blackbird (1996)And then there was St Kevin and the blackbird.The saint is kneeling, arms stretched out, insideHis cell, but the cell is narrow, soOne turned-up palm is out the window, stiffAs a crossbeam, when a blackbird landsAnd lays in it and settles down to nest.Kevin feels the warm eggs, the small breast, the tuckedNeat head and claws and, finding himself linkedInto the network of eternal life,Is moved to pity: now he must hold his handLike a branch out in the sun and rain for weeksUntil the young are hatched and fledged and flown.*And since the whole thing's imagined anyhow,Imagine being Kevin. Which is he?Self-forgetful or in agony all the timeFrom the neck on out down through his hurting forearms?Are his fingers sleeping? Does he still feel his knees?Or has the shut-eyed blank of underearthCrept up through him? Is there distance in his head?Alone and mirrored clear in love's deep river,'To labour and not to seek reward,' he prays,A prayer his body makes entirelyFor he has forgotten self, forgotten birdAnd on the riverbank forgotten the river's name. —Seamus Heaney

Get Your Aging Career Car Back in Shape to Take On the New Roads Is your career running out of gas? Maybe it's time for a tune-up—and this week on A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso, we're pulling into the garage with author, career expert, and former pastor Chris Fontanella. His latest book, Overhaul Your Career: Seven Tips for Restoring Your Classic Model for New Roads, offers a powerful roadmap to get your professional life humming again—whether you're changing lanes, stuck in neutral, or looking to turbocharge your purpose. Coach Jay dives deep with Chris to explore why so many people feel stalled in their careers and what it really takes to restore your inner drive. More than just a motivational boost, this conversation taps into timeless principles, spiritual insight, and practical tools for reshaping your mindset and direction. It's not just about finding a job—it's about discovering your vocation, reigniting passion, and rolling forward with confidence. Whether you're a recent graduate wondering what's next, a mid-career professional questioning the road you're on, or a seasoned executive looking to realign your life's purpose, this is the episode that will speak directly to your soul. Chris Fontanella doesn't promise shortcuts—but he does promise a deeper, richer path to meaning and fulfillment in your work life. Chris Fontanella's book, "Overhaul Your Career: Seven Tips for Restoring Your Classic Model for New Roads" is such a great read for anyone entering in the later stages of their career and considering retirement. The fact of the matter is, we as humans are really never ready to "retire".  Inactivity is the real killer of us all.  And Chris Fontanella explains to us that the reality is that we need work to fulfill us.  It is so important to our lives to continue to be productive even in the last half, third or quarter of our working career. Overhaul Your Career, is a complete guide on how to go into your next career after  your main career is over, or you no longer align with it.  As Chris explains, "YOU ARE IN CONTROL"!  You make the choices.  But changing a career, later in life, will take guts and a rebel spirit.  And you need to be a "rebel with a cause" and that cause is your next career. He also, makes it plain to his reader that you must maintain your individuality and at the same time rediscover who you really are.  You may be thinking, "but I know who I am", but the question is who is the real you?  It is so easy for us to be in a career and lose ourselves and no longer remember the person we truly are. Whether you need to "reprise" yourself, "reinvent" yourself or do something completely different and become the next Colonel Harland Sanders, everything for your next career and how to get there is right here in this book, Overhaul Your Career: Seven Tips for Restoring Your Classic Model for New Roads.  Get your copy by clicking right here!

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITStrange medical claims, political controversies, and pop culture updates collide in this fast-paced look at today's most intriguing headlines. We begin with an extraordinary health story from Australia where a woman alleges that hidden mold in her apartment led to a dementia diagnosis at just 37 years old. Though seemingly implausible at first glance, the case raises questions about environmental toxins and their potential neurological impacts, particularly for those with genetic vulnerabilities.The conversation shifts to the American political landscape where we examine two stories highlighting governance through executive action rather than legislative process. Former border official Tom Holman's tough talk about immigration enforcement stands in stark contrast to the reality of New York City hotels currently housing migrants. Meanwhile, Delaware's governor has signed a controversial order establishing the state as a refuge for those seeking transgender medical procedures – including minors – sparking intense debate about parental rights, medical ethics, and child welfare.Ending on a lighter note, we explore the future of the iconic James Bond franchise as acclaimed director Denis Villeneuve takes the helm under new ownership by Amazon MGM Studios. As a self-proclaimed "die-hard Bond fan," Villeneuve promises to honor the tradition of 007, but questions remain about casting the next Bond and whether the series will continue Daniel Craig's gritty realism or return to earlier stylistic approaches. Who would you cast as the next James Bond?

After more than three years of bloody stalemate, Ukraine has launched unprecedented strikes deep into Russian territory—destroying nearly a third of Russia's strategic bomber fleet and targeting the crucial Kerch Bridge to Crimea. Now, Trump's peace push may now be stalled—not by Ukraine, but by Putin himself. With over $400 billion in Western aid already spent and millions of lives disrupted, is the war entering a more dangerous phase? Victor Davis Hanson examines this latest development on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ Just when we thought the war might have some type of conciliation or armistice, Ukraine struck in a way that it had never done before and it was very effective. “  There was a drone attack on the Kerch Bridge, that only link, really, that's accessible for easy transport from mainland Russia into the Crimea. It's essential. … It shows you that Ukraine is now kind of having a turtle strategy. It's not going to waste its limited manpower slugging it out. But it's going to use drones and it's going to make over a million of them.”

Leadership Lessons from the Legends: Pat Summitt and John Wooden This week on A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso, get ready for a masterclass in leadership, personal growth, and lasting impact as we welcome back breakthrough coach and best-selling author Brian Biro. His latest book, Lessons from the Legends, dives deep into the coaching brilliance of two of the greatest leaders in sports history—Pat Summitt and John Wooden. Join us for an inspiring, practical conversation rooted in the values that build champions—not just on the court, but in life. In this episode, Brian reveals the core principles that defined Summitt's and Wooden's legendary success: character over talent, discipline with compassion, preparation as a lifestyle, and leading with integrity. These aren't abstract ideas—they're daily practices you can apply whether you're coaching a team, in leadership in a company, parenting, or pursuing personal excellence. Brian unpacks how these values created not just wins, but legacies. You'll hear powerful stories of how Pat Summitt demanded accountability with fierce love, and how John Wooden's “Pyramid of Success” was more than a philosophy—it was a way of living and leadership that turned ordinary athletes into extraordinary people. Brian will help you see how these timeless lessons can help you build trust, grow influence, and lead with clarity and purpose in every area of your life. If you're tired of shortcuts and surface-level solutions, and you're ready for leadership wisdom that endures, this is the episode for you. Don't miss A New Direction—where success isn't just defined by what you achieve, but by who you become. Brian Biro's Book, Lessons from the Legends: New Applications from the Timeless Wisdom of John Wooden & Pat Summitt is powerful, impactful, practical, timeless, and desperately needed by all of us in today's world. Brian Biro, has examined the lives of these two successful and powerful coaches and has written a easy-to-read and thought-provoking book to stimulate your mind to living a better life and becoming a better leader. When you think about Pat Summitt's time as the University of Tennessee head coach, you think of championships.  And you might believe that for her, it was about winning championships.  However, that was only the result, what she was really doing was growing young women into champions  and leaders in life. John Wooden was famed for his precise detail in all that he did.  He developed his Pyramid that emphasized the cornerstones of industriousness and enthusiasm that the Pyramid would be built on.  He not only taught it to his players, he lived it every day of his life.  And as he developed the pyramid in his last 12 years of coaching he would win 10 National Championships.  But his focus was not on the wins, it was making sure that the young men who played for him, would demonstrate great leadership. I have to be honest, this book is so full of wisdom, that I cannot possibly remember it all.  I want to desperately because every lesson in the book is something I want to live by too.  It took them years, even decades, to master their coaching.  In the end, it requires work.  And by the end of the book I found myself truly understanding I have a lot more work to do. Great book!  Get your copy by clicking "Lessons from the Legends". Please reach out and thank the sponsors of A New Direction: Enhance Your Audiobook Experience with Zoundy!

In Business or in Life, How YOU handle Crisis will make the Difference In this powerful episode of A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso, we sit down with global legal and compliance expert Fabiana Lacerca-Allen to explore the mindset and tools needed to lead through the most challenging moments. As the author of the thought-provoking book Crisis Capable – Building Your Capacity to Survive and Succeed in Every Environment, Fabiana draws from decades of experience navigating legal and corporate crises for Fortune 100 companies, as well as her remarkable personal journey—from growing up during political unrest in Argentina to becoming a trailblazing executive in the U.S. “Crisis Capable” isn't just a book about corporate strategy—it's a guide to personal resilience, ethical leadership, and staying calm under fire. Fabiana emphasizes the importance of preparation, agility, and emotional intelligence, offering practical frameworks that apply whether you're leading a business, a team, or yourself through uncertain times. We talk about what it means to build “muscle memory” for crisis situations, how to create a culture of accountability, and why integrity must remain non-negotiable—even when the stakes are high. Throughout our conversation, Fabiana shares compelling stories that illustrate how to transform pressure into purpose. From boardrooms to global stages, she has advised some of the most influential leaders in the world, and her insights are not only timely—they're timeless. You'll hear how adversity shaped her leadership philosophy, and how we can all develop the internal grit and external tools to lead when everything is on the line. Whether you're an executive, entrepreneur, or simply someone seeking to strengthen your ability to thrive under pressure, this episode is a must-listen. Join Coach Jay and Fabiana as we chart a new direction—one that equips you to face crisis not with fear, but with confidence, clarity, and capability. Fabiana Lecerca-Allen's book, "Crisis Capable: Building Your Capacity to Survive and Succeed in Every Environment" is such a great read.  Filled with true stories of Fabiana's life as she grew up in Argentina during a time of crisis and uncertainty as the country was transitioning from military dictatorship to a democracy. And how her family lived, survived and thrived. From her experiences, Fabiana walks us through timeless and needed strategies to handle both the crisis in life and in the business environment.  These practical lessons are so good that no matter what age you are, or what your station in life you may be in, they absolutely apply. It all starts with becoming more situationally aware.  Sadly in today's society as we mostly look down at our phones, or cannot leave our phones alone, we have lost the capability and art of being able to look at our surroundings, understanding the situation, and remain calm and level-headed to have a plan of how we will proceed and move so that we can maintain an advantage in whatever situation we find ourselves in. As an attorney who has dealt with complicated conflict, she applies what she has learned from her lifetime of trials and tribulations and is able to take the crisis out of the crisis. Encouraging us to choose our reactions, staying calm, having a plan, be less impulsive, grow our self-esteem, become more confident and set our boundaries. She further does an incredible job of encouraging the need for greater emotional intelligence and foremost knowing your values so that you know exactly what you will and won't do. Such a great read, well written and full of fantastic practical insights for everyone. Get your copy by clicking Crisis Capable.   Please say thank you to the sponsors of A New Direction!

Knowing Your Identity Coupled with Strategy Will Leave a Lasting Legacy A New Direction welcomes Wall Street Journal Best Selling Author Alex Brueckmann for a live, game-changing conversation about his latest book, The Legacy Strategy. In a world desperate for direction and authenticity, Brueckmann delivers a powerful message: true leadership isn't about chasing the next goal—it's about defining who you are and what you stand for. Get ready to explore the deep architecture of lasting impact. At the heart of The Legacy Strategy lies Brueckmann's powerful framework: The Nine Elements of Organizational Identity. From Purpose and Values to Brand Promise and Culture, these elements aren't just buzzwords—they're the DNA of enduring organizations. In this interview, we'll break down how these components work together to shape everything from strategic decisions to everyday behavior. If you lead a team, a business, or even your own personal mission, this is the blueprint you've been waiting for. Alex's approach isn't theory—it's battle-tested. He's worked with global leaders to align identity with action, turning abstract ideals into tangible outcomes. This episode will take you beyond surface-level strategy and into the soul of leadership. Learn how to leverage your organization's identity to navigate complexity, inspire trust, and build a legacy that outlives you. Join us live and bring your questions—this is your chance to engage directly with one of today's most thoughtful voices in leadership strategy. Discover how the Nine Elements can redefine your impact, your clarity, and your legacy. The Legacy Blueprint isn't just a conversation. It's a turning point. Alex Brueckmann's Wall Street Journal Best-Selling book, "The Strategy Legacy: How to Future-Proof a Business and Leave Your Mark" is an absolute must read!  This book will make you rethink how like most businesses have neglected your business identity for strategy. And it's not going to work like you think. Alex gets us to think in terms of how we need to start with our people, figure out our moral compass, we believe, what we stand for, get to know your people deeper, and create a business that leaves a lasting legacy. Alex's 9 Elements of Organizational Identity are well-thought-out, well organized, and make so much sense.  Putting things in the right order, so that you and I can get our businesses and organizations in order.  Once we start with the people part, then strategy comes in to play...but only after our shared identity is clear. I found that having a strategy of further foresight was also intriguing.  So often we stop after one, two or five years.  But Alex encourages going further, what about 15 years from now?  What is the impact of your business, then?  What will it look like?  Are you preparing for it now. The Strategy Legacy is not only a lesson in "future-proofing" your business, but Alex takes us step by step through the process, describing "why" and how long each step will take.  Honestly, after reading this section, I have to be honest it will be quite the challenge, but the results are worth it.  Nothing that has value is ever easy, and you will have to put in the work. Really a great book!  I understand why it was a Wall Street Journal best seller. Get your copy of The Strategy Legacy by clicking here.
