Episode Overview In this episode, John Kitchens sits down with powerhouse real estate leader Jack Perry to explore how thinking like a CEO can elevate your business—even in fluctuating markets. Jack shares his journey from pastor to full-time real estate CEO, why positivity matters more than ever, and how creating a culture of community, mentorship, and accountability helped his team grow to 200+ agents. Key Topics Covered Embracing the Storm The importance of staying positive amid market uncertainties.  “People still buy homes…if you talk negative…your agents start feeling that.” How perseverance through 2009's downturn shaped Jack's leadership. Refocusing the “Why” Behind Buying Avoiding transactional fixation in favor of long-term living needs. Jack's own home purchased in 1988 still houses his family today—emphasizing the real purpose of homeownership. Building Culture Over Commission Cultivating team unity through mutual support (Slack-driven showings, monthly barbecues). Every agent—veteran or new—plays a vital role: “once a rockstar, always a mentor.” Leadership Through Service The power of empathy and hands‑on communication (texting/personal outreach to 200+ agents). Jack's servant leadership style is grounded in authenticity over ego. Empowering High Performers Encouraging ambition: “If you're comfortable doing 5–10 deals/year, we might not be a good fit.” Flagging complacency early; celebrating agents pushing 25–35 deals. Keeping Your Eye on the Long Game Social media as a window into intent and consistency. Insight gleaned from Daymond John's quote: "I look at your social media profile" to assess discipline. Qualifying and Coaching the Right Way Ask deeper questions to uncover client motivations and timelines. Remind clients of their original goals throughout the journey to avoid wheels spinning. Scaling with Integrity Protecting culture as team grows—self-policing, core values in action, not on the wall. Ego-free leadership and letting others operate and innovate within the organization. Resources & Strategies Mentioned Mentorship model inspired by Frank Shamrock's “plus-minus-equal” creed Frequent personal outreach “Outcome over ego” mentality drives collaboration in turbulent times “If you talk negative or doom and gloom…your agents start feeling that.” — Jack Perry   Connect with Us: Instagram: @johnkitchenscoach LinkedIn: @johnkitchenscoach Facebook: @johnkitchenscoach   If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe and leave a review.

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I sit down with Chad Busick, one of my top certified trainers who lives, breathes and shares the principles of championship teams. Chad interviews me as we do a deep dive into my latest book, The Seven Commitments of a Great Team, the journey that shaped it, and why these lessons matter for everyone looking to build something great together. Chad leads me through an honest exploration of what a true “championship mindset” really means, why it's not about chasing a trophy, but becoming the kind of teammate and leader who lifts up others and shows up with purpose, grit, and positivity, no matter the circumstances. I share parts of my personal journey, including the struggles with negativity that almost cost me my marriage and ultimately pushed me onto this path of teaching positive leadership. We go behind the scenes on the writing of Seven Commitments, touching on the coaches and mentors who inspired me, like the unforgettable Coach Richie Moran (whose words “teammates are forever” are at the heart of this story). Together we break down why valuing each other is the foundation of any great team, how individual goals and a shared mission fuel real success, and why staying positive, together, matters most when adversity strikes. You'll hear why these commitments have already struck a chord with so many coaches and business leaders, how simple frameworks like LIGHT and VALUE can unlock stronger teams, and why I believe this might be my most meaningful work yet. There are practical takeaways and authentic stories for anyone who wants to lead, connect, and get better, whether you're building a winning culture in sports, business, education, or at home.

How Positive Leadership Transforms Workplace Culture and Elevates Customer Experience  Shep interviews Ryan Minton, Best-Selling Author and Keynote Speaker. He talks about his new book, Uplifted and shares insights from his experience in hospitality, including the impact of employee engagement, appreciation, and empowerment in creating uplifting work environments and better customer experiences.  This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:    What practical benefits come from creating an uplifting workplace culture?  How does a hospitality mindset improve customer service across different industries?  What impact does leadership have on employee morale and customer experience?  How does positive leadership help reduce staff turnover in customer-facing roles?  In what ways does an employee's mood affect customer interactions?  Top Takeaways:    The hospitality mentality is not just for hotels and restaurants. It is valuable in every industry because it sets the bar for the customer experience standard. It teaches every employee to always show care, gratitude, and kindness no matter what industry they work in.  A heartfelt "thanks for coming in today" can make a real difference in someone's mood and attitude. It is a simple yet powerful statement that leaders can say to make their employees know that they matter. When employees feel appreciated, they're more likely to enjoy coming to work and give their best. It creates a workplace where people want to come, stay, and grow.  Every employee becomes the face of your brand the moment they interact with your customers. When they are not happy at their jobs, customers feel it. High turnover and unhappiness can hurt customer satisfaction, so making sure that employees are engaged, equipped, and fulfilled helps create positive customer experiences.   Strict policies can sometimes get in the way of the human aspect of customer service. When employees are trusted to handle situations as they see fit, they feel empowered to do their jobs. Employees need to grow through training and be equipped with the right tools so that they can use policies as guidelines while exercising common sense to meet each customer's unique needs.   Happy employees lead to happy customers, and happy customers come back. Invest in people through appreciation, empowerment, and uplifting leadership.  Loyalty programs and perks can encourage repeat business, but truly memorable companies don't rely on them alone. Being helpful, friendly, and uplifting is the best loyalty program you can offer. When people feel good about you, they'll keep coming back, with or without loyalty programs.  Plus, Ryan shares the "balloon effect" and how it can elevate customer and employee experiences. Tune in!  Quote:   "Good old-fashioned customer service is just good old-fashioned hospitality. So many brands look to the hotel industry because it has become the standard for customer service."     About:    Ryan Minton is a Best-Selling Author and Keynote Speaker with over 20 years of experience leading world-class hospitality brands. He is the author of Thanks for Coming in Today: Creating a Culture Where Employees Thrive & Customer Service is Alive. His upcoming book Uplifted! The Remarkable Power of Positive Leadership on Frontline Teams launches June 10th.    Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio.    Learn more about your ad choices.

Mindfulness can transform your communication and your career.When we react, our instincts and impulses are in the driver's seat. But when we take the time to reflect, that's when Marshall Goldsmith says we take back control of how we respond.“​​​​Before speaking at work, breathe,” Goldsmith says. “Is my comment going to improve this other human being's commitment? At home, breathe. Is my comment going to improve this relationship with someone I love? If the answer is no, why am I saying it?”As a world-renowned executive coach, speaker, and best-selling author, Goldsmith teaches how a mindful approach can change how we relate to others, to ourselves, and even to our career goals and ambitions. Through reflection, we identify our values, which we can use to live what Goldsmith calls an “earned life — when the choices, risks, and effort we make in each moment align with an overarching purpose in our lives.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Goldsmith joins host Matt Abrahams to explore practical strategies for bettering our interactions with others and ourselves, from his “feed forward” method for giving and receiving constructive critique to his "daily questions" practice, which prompts reflective self-inquiry to keep us focused on what truly matters.Episode Reference Links:Marshall GoldsmithMarshall's Books: What Got Here Won't Get You There / Triggers Ep.138 Speak Your Truth: Why Authenticity Leads to Better CommunicationConnect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:35) - Key Communication Advice (02:17) - An Earned Life (04:14) - Transition to Leadership (05:45) - Breathe Before Speaking (07:00) - Feedforward vs. Feedback (08:00) - Managing Triggers (09:51) - Daily Success Checklist (12:29) - Using AI for Coaching (13:58) - Influencing Up Leadership (15:33) - The Final Three Questions (18:28) - Conclusion

In this episode of The Double Win Show, Michael Hyatt and Megan Hyatt Miller talk with Jon Gordon, bestselling author of The Energy Bus and The Power of Positive Leadership. Jon shares his journey from negativity to a thriving, positive life and the principles he's developed to help teams and individuals succeed.From practical strategies for fueling positive energy to addressing the root causes of negativity, Jon's wisdom is a must-hear for leaders striving to win at work and succeed at home.Memorable Quotes“Every one of us is going to have to overcome negativity, adversity, and challenges to ultimately define ourselves and our team's success. And the main message is: You have to overcome negativity with positivity.”“You're the driver. You decide the kind of ride it's going to be… It's all about ownership.”“You write down your success of the day and every night you go to bed a success. Every morning you wake up a success. You're now creating more and more success because what you focus on starts to show up more in your life.”“The root for the Greek word ‘anxious' means to separate and divide. And so someone who's anxious, they feel separate and divided. What does fear do? Divides.”“The change happened when I started to take walks of gratitude every day because I read you can't be stressed and thankful at the same time.”“You're not the thoughts you think—you're the thoughts you believe. Negative thoughts are going to come in all the time. What thoughts are you believing and what stories are you choosing to believe about yourself?”“There's a feeling that you're winning [at work and at home] and yet at the same time, you're probably always going to feel like. ‘What can I do better? And how can I do this more in both places?' I call it positive discontent.”Key TakeawaysYou're the Driver: Own your energy and your impact. Leaders set the tone for their teams and must model positivity.Fuel Your Energy Daily: Practices like gratitude walks, journaling, and prayer can help leaders stay energized and engaged.Address Negativity Head-On: Successful leaders confront issues directly, fostering accountability and growth without demeaning their teams.Build Positive Team Cultures: Principles like “No Complaining Without a Solution” and “Love + Accountability” transform how teams function.ResourcesThe Energy Bus by Jon GordonThe Power of Positive Leadership by Jon GordonThe Success Journal by Jon GordonLearn more about Jon Gordon's work at jongordon.comWatch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/pr_itESG_GAPodcast:  This episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound
