Full Show notes at www.LearningLeader.com Read our book: The Score That Matters - https://amzn.to/3AAPyds The Learning Leader Show With Ryan Hawk Ep # 598: Sam Parr Notes Sam's mantra (which he has tattooed on his thigh): “Bold. Fast. Fun.” It's really hard to beat someone who moves fast, takes risks, and has fun doing it. Think big, but you have to get started. We see Hustle Con and the 2,500 people and think that's just how it always was. It started as a small book club, then a small event that made a little money... And YEARS later it's HustleCon which helped launch The Hustle, which then eventually sold for 10's of millions. We have to get started and keep going. The most important skill set (according to Sam) is the ability to convince people of something. Persuading others. You have to believe in it yourself, be a clear thinker, and know how to communicate that to others to make them believe in it too. This skill will help you accomplish a lot. Writing – Write like you talk. Writing clarifies your thinking… Think in headlines – Thinking in headlines will make you a clearer thinker. It will help you see how an idea should be framed, identify different ways to tell your story, and show you the soul of your topic. Back against the wall - “I firmly believe in putting my back against the wall.” Deadlines, pressure, and harsh goals will pull out the best from you. Copy by Hand – Sam copied the best sales letters of all time by hand. Let the writing you admire pass through your fingers. This method is called copywork. What Sam learned backstage at his events with rich people/CEOs - "They weren't smarter than me." We're all just figuring it out as we go.: " Cold emails -- Work that muscle. AirBnB cold email story: "I cold emailed this guy named Brian. And he had a company called Air Bed and Breakfast. I said, 'Hey, this sounds like a cool thing. I want to interview. I think I can help make it better by doing a few things.' And they said, 'Are you in the Bay Area?' 'Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm there.' And he said, 'Alright, great. Come to the office on Monday.' So I booked the flight and I flew out and got an interview there. That's how I got introduced to startups. And then I eventually moved to San Francisco."  Sports - Love them because they are objective. The time doesn't lie. Same with business. The numbers don't lie. You know you're going to feel pain (before running a 400m), but you do it anyway and push through it. That's what makes them great. How to raise tough kids? "I'm scared. I think about this all the time. Will need to remove the things that make my life easy like all the service providers have now." Hiring - Freaks, weirdos. The others. Want people passionate about something. Anything. Bottom 4th of the resume. Be skilled at something, not a generalist. Writing/communication - No typos. Clear writing = clear thinking. We want clear thinkers. Especially for leadership roles. Fame - "I don't want that anymore, but I still want to be taken seriously by the big boys. I'm still insecure about building something other than a media company." Advice: "Be a fucking animal." Don't let anything stop you. Excellence - "Like your shit. Enjoy it. Must have endurance. Be like a cockroach and stay alive. Survive. Don't quit. Don't be vanilla. Do dope shit."

Larry talks with Carlos T. Carter about excellence and what it means to him.

Pursuing Excellence in Every Moment | Multifamily Collective Imagine how different your life could be if you pursued excellence daily. There's a Greek philosophy called "arete," which means striving for your highest potential in all aspects of life. Embracing this mindset means waking up each day focused on achieving excellence. I admire Tom Peters, a management guru who talks about "excellence in the next five minutes." This concept challenges us to focus on being excellent in the immediate future. However, our emotions often get in the way, hijacking our logic and pushing excellence aside. Emotions can derail our best intentions, whether it's road rage or frustration with a customer service issue. I encourage pausing and thinking about excellence in the next five minutes. When faced with a catalyst, take a deep breath before responding. Consider why a person might be a roadblock and try to think logically about the situation. This slight shift can make a significant difference. Next time you encounter frustrating customer service or deal with traffic, remember to prioritize excellence. Embrace this philosophy and let it guide your actions, steering you towards a more fulfilling and productive life. If you found this discussion helpful, please like, comment, and subscribe for more insights on leadership and multifamily industry trends. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mike-brewer/support

What does it take to become a soldier in the British Special Forces, to break world records in cycling and fitness, or to write a book that drastically improves the lives of many who read it?  Most of us would be happy with achieving just one of these things, but today's guest has done them all! Dean Stott is a speaker, author, and world-renowned expert in risk and security consulting, and he joins us today to share what it takes to build a mindset that relentlessly pursues excellence. Dean's core philosophy is all about taking action, and he explains how this mindset helps in overcoming challenges both foreseen and unexpected.  Our guest walks us through his process of building mental toughness, how to rise above fear, the importance of research and careful planning, and how to build a mindset of resilience. Dean's final words of wisdom and hope explain why it's better to participate rather than anticipate.

Read our new book, The Score That Matters https://amzn.to/3VFVYAm Full show notes at www.LearningLeader.com The Learning Leader Show With Ryan Hawk Episode #579: David Perell - Setting The Standard, Cultivating Your Taste, Pursuing Excellence, Becoming a Sloganeer, Always Working/Never Working, & Lessons From a Mysterious Billionaire Notes: Set the standard – “It's your job to have the highest quality standards of anybody you work with. Every day, you'll face pressure to lower them. Don't do it. If you can set a high standard and simply maintain it, you'll do very well for yourself.” Have a high-quality bar. Do three things: Define it: Clearly state the standards. (read The 11 Laws of Showrunning) Maintain it: This is hard to do. Raise it: Keep pushing. You need to define what quality looks like. Set the true north. David worked with a coach to establish his core values. And he was going to narrow it down to five and the coach said, “Nope, it's just one. It's the one that everything in your life orbits around... It's The Pursuit of Excellence. The biggest piece of low-hanging fruit for leaders is getting funnier: Nobody trains themselves to get funnier though. It's strangely taboo. That's why it's such an opportunity. "Laughter is the sound of comprehension." Say something memorable. Humor is memorable. A good way to think... Deconstruct something funny. David spends a lot of time understanding why Theo Von is so funny. The key to excellent storytelling: a moment of change. Conflict and suspense carry stories. Robert Caro writing the LBJ books... "What would I see if I was there." He moved to where LBJ lived to see what it was like to be there. How to cultivate taste: Make a list of things you love/hate. Look for things you love (but aren't supposed to), and things you hate (but are supposed to love). Make things. Don't be a passive consumer. Be a connoisseur. Be discerning about what you consume. Amor Tolles - History is bad for knowing what's good now. Consume old things. Museums - Pay attention to what elicits a reaction. Why is it a 10? Why is it a 1? What do you love? What do you hate? Why? Archegos is David's favorite Greek word, and it gets to the heart of good leadership. Four meanings: Author, founder, pioneer, leader America's founding fathers are the canonical example Lessons from a mysterious billionaire mentor: David asks very specific questions, listens, and takes lots of notes. When meeting with a mentor, show up with energy and specific questions. They are tired of hearing the boring generic questions. Be specific. The mentor talks 98% of the time and David just types what he says. He now has 18,000 words worth of notes. Some lessons: CEOs are Sloganeers: CEOs shouldn't write strategy memos. They should drive slogans.  Three lines. Three words each. (Bezos: Focus on the Customer) CEOs should tell the same stories over and over again, refining their pitch like a comedian. Gauging reactions Asking questions Listening to push-back Seeing what makes people's eyes light up Your message is only landing once people start making fun of you. Good goal in life: Always working, never working Story from Patrick O'Shaughnessy. He was asked how much time he spent preparing. Initially, he said, "not much." Then he thought for a while, and said, "I'm preparing all the time. My whole life is preparing to ask these questions."

Have you ever found yourself at a crossroads, where one path leads to the ordinary and the other to exceptional? This week's Leadwell podcast guest, Walter Nussbaum, shares his inspiring journey from the former to the latter—how a disciplined mentor and an epiphany over dinner at Bullwinkle Steakhouse set him on a course toward outstanding leadership and personal growth. We delve into those life-altering 'fork in the road' moments, and Walter's narrative serves as a testament to the power of positive influence and the pursuit of excellence.Leadership is more than a title; it's a complex blend of skills, social savvy, and above all, character. In our conversation with Walter, we uncover the critical elements that define a 'total leader' and the importance of the Arete mindset—a philosophy that champions maximizing current potential and pushing the boundaries of what we can become. This episode isn't just about recognizing one's innate talents but also nurturing them to inspire and encourage growth within teams and organizations.To wrap up, we explore the often-overlooked force of affection in leadership. Just as an elderly woman gave up smoking out of love, we discuss how affection-driven leadership can transform obligations into passions and foster a culture of excellence. Walter's insights on practicing and instilling these principles in our daily lives are invaluable. If you're ready to embark on a quest for leadership excellence, Walter Nussbaum is the guide you've been looking for, and we've got all the ways you can connect with him in our show notes.

That achievement certainly didn't come without its challenges and adversity along the way. She shares the power of belief in oneself and how to pursue excellence in our own race, in what was an incredibly inspiring conversation.-------Offer from Xact Nutrition: This episode is presented by our friends at Xact Nutrition and they are offering you 15% OFF your order when you use the code JUSTINSTRIDE.

It's been a long time coming and now, it's finally here! This week, I'm joined by my brother, Tyler! If you've listened to “The Table” or any of our lost episodes uploaded on this show, you already know and love him. In this episode, we start with some follow up from last week's bonus episode where the new name of the show was announced. As the person who first uttered the phrase “Pray Before Chips”, how does Tyler feel about the new name? He shares his opinion then takes us into our first topic: the pursuit of excellence. We dive into the importance of excellence not only in ministry, but also in our jobs, marriages, & even hobbies. Following this, we explore how to navigate forgiving sins that are illegal. Is it our responsibility to hold those people accountable? Should we just forgive as Jesus does then just move on? Does it depend on the severity of the crime? What's the balance there? Where's that line? We have some thoughts. We hope you enjoy!

Why? That is the question I find myself asking more than anything else. It's the question I teach my son is most important-- you should always know "why" you do something or you believe something. It is rooted in the Socrates quote "the unexamined life isn't worth living", because if we don't ask why, I worry we are guessing our way through life. But that's why I do this show, to be challenged to think differently. Nanxi, my guest today, approaches life somewhat differently. She understands the importance of asking why, but she more often asks "why not?" It seems like such a subtle difference. In many ways it seems like the same question just asked from a different angle. When you step back and think about it though, "why not" is much more open and optimistic, where "why" can seem much more closed and skeptical. I think that is in line with how Nanxi lives. As you'll hear, she believes "pursuing excellence" is the most important value for her. She takes that "why not" approach to say "why not try to be the great at a whole bunch of different things in life?" Whether it be the companies she founded and led (most recently Blaze Technology, but she's been named Forbes 30 Under 30 and previously served as CEO and co-founder of Enplug and sold it for a 200x return), the Board of Directors she serves on, the TV show she produced and won an Emmy for, the top finish she had in the World Series of Poker, or the concert piano she plays-- she embodies pursuing excellence. But that "why" vs. "why not" debate led to some really interesting discussions. Part of the value of asking "why" is to try to understand if pursuing excellence is something that you truly value and is authentic or if it's something you inherit from your childhood experiences and social pressures. Asking why also helps to understand if you have a healthy balance between your own enjoyment and personal achievement vs. helping others and giving back. As Nanxi explained though, these questions can be almost impossible to answer with any confidence, so sometimes taking the "why not" approach seems like the better way to go. As with most things in life, it seems like managing the duality between these two approaches is probably best--and I think ultimately it is that balance that makes Nanxi so successful and fulfilled in life.

Today's guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Shellie Ransom-Jackson, CEO of Benchmark Construction Consulting and Management Inc. Shellie found the Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur community and movement at a time when she was seeking mentorship that aligned with her desire to build and grow her business in the construction industry from a Christ-centered perspective. Shellie shares that she is a natural-born risktaker and truly had to learn how to seek and yield to God when it comes to decision-making and pursuing business opportunities.  If you've ever struggled with people-pleasing in pursuit of excellence, you'll appreciate the challenges that she has overcome and is overcoming with the help of the Holy Spirit. Learning to work by the power of God's grace has already led to Shellie experiencing more than she'd imagined in business.
