Endlessly curious about the origin of legends and myths, he is considered a global authority on the creation of iconic, “larger-than-life” brands that attract legions of customers and top talent – without having to use “pushy” marketing tactics. Some organizations he has worked with have achieved 15-30X financial growth while becoming a much coveted and highly desirable “Category of One”. His fascination with “legends” likely dates back to the age of 11, watching the “Immaculate Reception”, December 23, 1972, as Franco Harris galloped into NFL history. Today, that curiosity extends to dissecting how the world's top brands become - simply irresistible. Everything from Apple & AC/DC to Lulu Lemon and Led Zeppelin. Specifically, his research focuses on small, but mighty giants that exert the same magnetic, pulling power similar to what NIKE does with shoes and Harley Davidson with motorcycles. These “Big Little Legends” include historic Café Du Monde in New Orleans; world famous, Pike Place Fish Market in Seattle and Webers on Highway 11 in Northern Ontario. Gair's riveting keynote presentations and hands-on workshops are packed with real-life stories supported by decades of in-the-trenches business experience. Described as a “shock stick of energy”, Gair delivers electrifying, uplifting presentations – both live and virtual - that inspire everyday people to stand apart from the crowd, unleash their inner greatness and build an enduring legacy. He has worked with some of the world's most dynamic organizations, including the Apple Specialist Marketing Group, Caterpillar, NAPA, Leo Burnett (Taiwan), Virginia Tech and others, while sharing conference stages with business icons such as Richard Branson and Gene Simmons. His accomplishments include: • Awarded “Speaker of the Year” by TEC Canada. • Recognized as a Vistage ‘Top Performer' in 2020. • Upwards of 600 appearances with Vistage International, the world's largest CEO Peer Advisory Group. • Best-selling author of Big Little Legends, available through Amazon.com, Indigo, Barnes & Noble, and more. • Podcast Host: “The Leadership Standard” with TEC Canada. A former broadcaster, Gair racked up 10,000+ interviews and 30,000+ broadcasts in an award-winning radio and television career. The son of a former pro golfer from St. Andrews, Scotland, Gair is a military history buff, an avid supporter of the Pittsburgh Steelers and a card-carrying Tennessee Squire. He prefers Jack Daniels on the rocks, a frosty Moosehead beer and is a life-long fan of Van Halen who believes both versions of the band with David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar should be considered legendary. A native of Moncton, NB, he currently resides in London, ON with Dana and their brood of two cocker spaniels (Theodore & Sophie) along with a beagle-mix rescue named Maggie. Big Little Legends is his second book.

Our guest today, Mark Taylor (https://MarkTaylor.NYC/), shares what members of his Vistage CEO groups did to avoid mistakes and take the actions necessary to survive, and sometimes thrive, in an everchanging post-lockdown world where no one knows what the "new normal" will look like. Mark is a Master Chair in Vistage NYC, a peer advisory group and the second-largest Vistage Chair in the world, where he coaches and facilitates 7 peer advisory groups in New York City. He is an executive coach to CEOs, a TEDx Speaker, and was founder, CEO, and a leader in multiple businesses over 4 decades. We spoke about how a peer advisory group differs from just having a coach and how it differs from having a business operating system like Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) that I help leadership teams implement. Mark shared what has worked for the business owners he's working with and what has not worked.

We learn from our guest today, a Vistage Chair, how to leverage the power of a peer advisory group to maximize yourself and your business (including how this differs from what people can generally accomplish in their own unstructured networking). Perry Maughmer (www.PerryMaughmer.com) is a Vistage Chair in Columbus, OH, where he facilitates groups of CEOs, small business owners, and key executives, as well as providing individual executive coaching. He is also the founder and CEO of Maughmer and Co. where he provides 6 or 12 month leadership training programs that teach people to live what he calls “relentless leadership.” In this conversation, we cover the ways business owners and leaders leverage peer advisory groups like Vistage to get much deeper into issues than they ever would on their own. We also cover things listeners can do to cultivate their own qualities of "relentless leadership" to avoid stagnation, which can be compared to trying to get to the second floor while standing still on a down-escalator. Definitely worth a listen!
