Um, but then recruiting the right people along the way.Farm to Pet is proving that a simple, single-ingredient dog treat can challenge the highly processed pet snack aisle while building a fast-growing business.Jackson Jones, founder and CEO of Farm to Pet, started with a problem close to home: he wanted something healthier for his dog, Rooney. During the pandemic, he began experimenting in his basement with a KitchenAid mixer, a dehydrator and a simple idea.He told me, “I wanted to create something that was what I considered the healthiest treat for my dog and had an idea that we could take a chicken breast, we could take a turkey breast, and we could dehydrate that and just literally use it and nothing else.”That “nothing else” became the heart of the Farm to Pet brand. The company makes single ingredient treats in a crunchy chip format that dogs love. Jackson explained the common reaction perfectly: “That's one of the first things people ask is, are you sure it only has one ingredient? What else do you put in there?”What began as a homemade snack for Rooney has grown into a vertically integrated pet treat company with national reach. Jackson moved from the basement into one facility after another, ultimately landing in a larger production space that allows the company to meet demand. Along the way, Farm to Pet built sales through local retailers, Amazon and other channels.I was struck by Jackson's candor about the challenge. “It wasn't an overnight success by any means,” he said. “It's been steps and steps along this journey.”For me, the human interest in this story is the combination of love for a pet, entrepreneurial persistence and a clean-label product that is easy for customers to understand. Pet parents increasingly want transparency. Jackson built the company around exactly that.Farm to Pet is also raising capital through a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine. Jackson said the campaign grew out of the need to fund more capacity while keeping the company in family control and inviting aligned investors into the journey. You can review the campaign at startengine.com/offering/farm-to-pet.I love seeing a purpose-driven consumer brand use community capital to grow. Jackson is not just selling treats. He is helping pet owners rethink what belongs in a dog's diet, one simple chip at a time.tl;dr:Jackson turned homemade chicken chips into the fast-growing Farm to Pet brand.Single ingredient treats provide a simple, healthy alternative to processed pet snacks.Farm to Pet is scaling operations with a focus on transparency and vertical integration.Jackson's leadership blends mission-driven passion, humility, team building, and trust.Practical insights for founders show how purpose and community can fuel business growth.How to Develop Mission-Driven Leadership As a SuperpowerJackson's superpower is mission-driven leadership. As he described it, the work starts with “having a mission…that you are very passionate about” and the ability “to kind of see through the next few steps.” Just as important, he said, is “recruiting the right people along the way.” Jackson was quick to emphasize that leadership also means humility. “It starts out, I think, by knowing what you're not naturally great at,” he said. For him, leadership is not about pretending to know everything. It is about building a team, listening, observing, changing his mind and giving talented people “the space and the time and the authority” to run with important work.Jackson illustrated this superpower through his early work with Miranda, who helped shape the company's social media and marketing. He admitted he did not know Instagram and was trying to DM people without much confidence. Rather than struggle alone, he invited Miranda to join the company and lead that work. She became a key part of the team, helping bring the crowdfunding campaign and brand story to life. Jackson's role was not to control every detail. It was to recognize talent, create space for ownership and let her strengths complement his own.Know what you are not naturally great at before trying to lead every function yourself.Build around a mission you care about deeply enough to sustain you through hard days.Look a few steps ahead so your team can prepare for growth before it arrives.Recruit people whose strengths fill your gaps and trust them with real responsibility.Listen carefully, observe what people enjoy and notice where they naturally excel.Give team members the space, time and authority to make decisions and own outcomes.Stay willing to change your mind when new information or better ideas emerge.Let go of work others can do better so you can focus on scaling the mission.By following Jackson's example and advice, you can make mission-driven leadership a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileJackson Jones:Founder and CEO, Farm to PetAbout Farm to Pet: Farm to Pet is a premium pet treat company committed to producing healthy, single ingredient treats for dogs.

Welcome to Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast in the country for loan officers, hosted by Carl White. In this episode, Carl White sits down with Kevin Gillespie to break down one of the biggest opportunities for mortgage leaders looking to grow their branch: recruiting the right loan officers. Kevin explains why successful recruiting is not about waiting for good producers to come along, but about building a repeatable system for identifying the right people, starting conversations, and guiding potential recruits through a clear process. Carl and Kevin discuss why the first recruiting meeting should be less about showing off your products, technology, and compensation plan and more about asking questions, listening, and discovering what the loan officer actually wants. From there, leaders can create a plan that shows how joining their team could help that person increase production, gain more time freedom, and reach their goals. They also explain why consistent follow-up matters just as much in recruiting as it does when building relationships with referral partners. A great candidate may not be ready to make a move today, but staying in touch and continuing to demonstrate value can dramatically improve your chances when the timing is right. Whether you're a producing branch manager, non-producing manager, or mortgage leader looking to grow your team, this episode gives you a practical framework for creating a recruiting process that attracts better candidates, improves conversions, and sets new team members up for success from day one.

In this episode, Jeff Glover sits down with Miami brokerage owner and real estate leader Henry Quintero, recorded LIVE at the 2025 Glover U Live Unreal Retreat in Traverse City, Michigan. With 12 years of experience in real estate and 8 years in a leadership and recruiting role, Henry has built a reputation for attracting, recruiting, and developing top-producing real estate agents. He currently owns a Miami, Florida brokerage with 269 agents, and his team generated an incredible $800 million in sales volume in 2025. Henry shares the strategies and leadership principles behind that growth, including how he recruited 275 agents in his most successful year—with 62 of those agents producing more than $5 million in volume. In this conversation, Henry and Jeff Glover dive into the importance of accountability in real estate, how Henry gets agents excited about accountability, the role coaching has played in his development as a leader, and the lessons he has learned from working with successful agents, teams, and brokerages. Henry also breaks down his strategy for attracting and recruiting top producers, the key characteristics that separate agents who struggle from those who thrive, and the #1 focus area he sees consistently among the most successful real estate teams and brokerages. Whether you're a real estate broker, team leader, brokerage owner, recruiter, or agent looking to build a high-performance business, this interview is packed with actionable insights on recruiting, leadership, accountability, coaching, and growing a successful real estate organization.

DR1THINGS WE MISSEDNERDY ESG STUFFL3Harris ousts CEO after investigation into conduct CARESL3Harris Technologies, the company that overhauled a Qatari plane now used as Air Force One, has replaced Christopher Kubasik as chairman and chief executive after an investigation determined he violated the defense contractor's code of conduct.Kubasik's alleged conduct didn't involve and has no impact on the Melbourne, Fla., company's financial reporting, controls, customer relationships or operational performance, L3Harris said Monday.The company didn't give details on when it received a report of the potential violation. With the aid of independent counsel, the board determined that Kubasik's removal would be in the company's best interest, L3Harris said. He will be allowed to retain and exercise some previously vested stock options but won't receive severance payments, benefits or accelerated stock-based awards.L3Harris Technologies Appoints Sam Mehta, Proven Aerospace and Defense Executive, as President and Chief Executive Officer“The Board determined that the Executive engaged in conduct that was not consistent with the values of the Company as outlined in its Code of Conduct.”Kubasik will still hold onto some of his options that can net him stock worth about $23 million, as well as more than 200,000 shares of stock in L3Harris that he already owns, valued at nearly $57 million. L3Harris has paid Kubasik compensation valued at $66.3 million during the past three years, including $25.6 million in fiscal 2025.The separation disclosure says the L3Harris board decided to reach a deal with Kubasik to get him to leave rather than trying to fire him for cause. Kubasik did not admit to any violation of the company code of conduct, and the deal expressively forbids any of the parties or their representatives from making public statements “inconsistent” with Monday's disclosure.Harvard reveals $2.2 billion SpaceX holding worth more than half its U.S. equity portfolio CARESBusting CEO Pay Curve in 2025, Musk Made Annual Salary of Average Tesla Worker Every 4.2 SecondsS&P 500 CEO pay jumps to record as Musk-inspired compensation plans spread: average S&P 500 CEO pay reached $340.1 millionUS SEC to keep hands off shareholder proposals, worrying activists CARESStaying Alive: ISS Continues Its Influence on 2026 Voting OutcomesISS recommended against fewer say-on-pay proposals than last year: 8.3% versus 9.2% in 2025.ISS supported fewer E&S proposals than in prior years, but investor votes more strongly tracked its recommendations.

The producers you want are watching you before they ever reply, and a rate sheet doesn't make anybody want to follow you. You know you need to be visible, but every time you show up, the only thing you know how to talk about is rates or products, and it isn't landing. Here's what I want you to walk away with today. You build authority by becoming the most valuable, most visible voice in your market, and you can do that without ever leading with a rate or a product. I'll give you a five-move framework to get there. Episode Breakdown [00:01:07] The Leader Who Got Louder When the Market Went Quiet I coached a leader whose market got wrecked by a hurricane. Homes gone, business frozen, and everybody in the industry went quiet and hunkered down. That's what most people do when things get hard, they disappear. I coached him to do the opposite, to become the single most visible person in that marketplace. He started a weekly webinar, not to pitch his company but to help, bringing in the people his market needed to hear from and answering the questions everybody was too scared to ask. He wasn't talking about his rates, he was talking about what his market needed. Within a few months he wasn't just another loan officer in a broken market, he was the authority everybody turned to. Authority doesn't come from selling. It comes from being the most valuable voice in the room. [00:02:03] Move 1: See Yourself as a Media Company First Most leaders think of themselves as a mortgage pro who happens to post online now and then. Flip that. You're a media company that happens to do mortgages, because attention is what earns the conversation, and content is how you earn attention. [00:02:32] Move 2: Talk to the People You Want to Recruit, Not the People You Want to Close This is the most common mistake I see. A leader's content speaks to consumers or to agents, the people he sells to, when the people he's trying to recruit are loan officers. If you want to attract producers, make content that speaks to producers, about leadership, about growth, about the things they lie awake thinking about. [00:03:00] Move 3: Give Value in Public The fastest way to build authority is to solve real problems out loud where everybody can see it. Answer the questions your market is afraid to ask, teach what you know. When you're the one consistently giving value away, you become the one people trust long before you ever make an ask. [00:03:23] Move 4: Feature Other People Authority isn't only about you talking. Some of the most powerful positioning comes from putting other respected voices on your platform, the way that leader did with his webinar. When you're the one convening the room, you're the authority in it, even when you aren't the one speaking. [00:03:43] Move 5: Curate, Don't Just Create You don't have to produce something brand new every single day. Knowing your market cold and pointing people to the three things that matter most this week is its own form of authority. Curation beats constant creation, because being the trusted filter is often worth more than being one more voice adding to the noise. [00:04:05] Why It Works Producers vet you before they ever reply, and a rate sheet tells them nothing about whether you're worth following. Value tells them everything. When you consistently give without asking, you flip the whole dynamic, and instead of chasing producers you become the person they seek out. That's the difference between visibility that's just noise and authority that recruits. One is about being seen, the other is about being trusted, and trust is what makes someone pick up the phone when you finally reach out. [00:04:45] Your Small Win Tonight Write down the three questions the producers in your market are quietly worried about right now. Not your customers, your future recruits. Just naming those three is your win, because that list is your content for the next month. [00:05:00] Three Bigger Moves This Week Publish one piece of content that answers one of those questions and mentions your rates and products nowhere, so your market starts seeing you as a leader instead of a lender. Invite one respected voice in your market onto something you host, a call, a webinar, a post, so you become the one convening the room. Then pick one thing you'll curate for your market every week, so you build the habit of being the trusted filter, and when you show up as the authority your whole team gets easier to recruit into because people already know who you are. Key Takeaways You build authority by becoming the most valuable, most visible voice in your market, and you can do it without ever leading with a rate or a product. When the market goes quiet, get louder. Visibility in a hard season is how you become the authority everybody turns to. You're not a mortgage pro who posts now and then. You're a media company that happens to do mortgages. Most leaders aim their content at the people they close, not the people they recruit. If you want producers, speak to producers. Give value in public and you become trusted long before you ever make an ask. When you convene the room, you're the authority in it, even when you're not the one speaking. Producers vet you before they reply. A rate sheet tells them nothing, value tells them everything. If you want help building authority in your market without leading with a rate, reach out.

Some players dominate because they're bigger. Others dominate because they refuse to be outworked. Aila Courtenay brings both to the floor every time she plays. In this episode of SportsLifeTalk's You Got Next, we sit down with one of the nation's premier Class of 2027 prospects to discuss the journey, mindset, and relentless work ethic that have made her one of the most respected front court players in girls basketball, high school basketball recruiting, and the future of women's basketball. A standout at St. Francis High School in Marietta, Georgia, and a force on the Nike EYBL circuit, Aila has earned a national reputation as an elite rebounder, dominant defender, versatile post player, and one of the most athletic forwards in her class. Whether she's protecting the rim, running the floor in transition, or controlling the paint, she impacts winning in ways that don't always show up on the stat sheet.Throughout the conversation, Aila shares how she fell in love with basketball in fifth grade and how years of hard work transformed her into one of the country's top recruits. While many people focus on scholarship offers and national rankings, she's focused on something much bigger—improving every day and helping her team win.One of the biggest themes of this episode is versatility. Aila explains why she prides herself on doing everything the game requires, from rebounding and defending to handling the ball in transition and making winning plays. She embraces every challenge and believes the best players never stop expanding their game.Listeners also get an inside look at the mindset that separates elite athletes. Aila talks about embracing competition, learning from every matchup, and why playing against the nation's best has accelerated her development. Rather than avoiding pressure, she welcomes it because every game is another opportunity to grow.Away from basketball, fans discover another side of Aila. She shares her love for reading, movies, anime, and spending time with family and friends. She also talks about her passion for academics, why math is her favorite subject, and her plans to study political science in college while continuing her basketball career.Family has played a huge role in Aila's journey. She proudly wears No. 33 in honor of her mother, who inspired her love for basketball and continues to be her biggest supporter. That bond has helped shape the confidence, humility, and leadership she brings both on and off the court.As she looks toward college, Aila says she's searching for more than just a basketball program. She wants coaches she can build genuine relationships with, teammates who feel like family, and a culture where she can compete, grow, and truly enjoy the game she loves.This episode is packed with valuable lessons for athletes, parents, coaches, and basketball fans who love discovering tomorrow's stars before they become household names.

Beyond the Job Board: Inside Sports Recruitment with Janine Mostyn This week's podcast special guest is Janine Mostyn, Managing Director of Huckleberry Sport and one of the most respected specialist recruiters in the sports and entertainment industry. With 20 years in recruitment (and nearly a decade running Huckleberry Sport), Janine has helped rights holders, clubs, agencies and brands build high-performing teams, and supported hundreds of candidates into dream roles across football, motorsport, entertainment, and beyond. In this conversation, Janine lifts the lid on what really happens in sports recruitment: how clients should work with headhunters, what candidates must do (and stop doing) to stand out, and how great recruiters operate with integrity in a competitive industry. She also shares powerful advice on networking and becoming a genuine connector in sport. What You'll Discover: 1.Janine's journey into recruitment and sport: The moment she realised generic sectors weren't exciting enough – and why sport and football felt like "the best feeling ever." 2. From public sector to sports & entertainment: How working at a creative agency, bringing in clients across sectors, led her to naturally gravitate to sports clients. 3. Transferable skills and the "blueprint" for recruitment: The non-negotiables: being thorough, not shortcutting shortlists, and genuinely considering every candidate. 4. Quality over quantity in the sports recruitment space: Why Janine prioritises long-term, high-quality relationships over chasing volume. 5. Do's and Don'ts for clients working with recruiters: How to set realistic expectations (no "unicorn hunting" for 6 months) and define what the essential 80% really is. 6. Do's and Don'ts for candidates in the sports industry: The problem with "apply, apply, apply" and why mass applications (300+ roles) rarely work. 7. The recruiter's perspective: standards, ethics & feedback: What great recruiters actually do behind the scenes: mapping markets, longlisting, referencing, coaching, and much more.

How Do People Discover They're Leaders? Most leaders try to recruit people into a vision, but Jesus modeled something harder: do the work, open your life, and let the right people recognize themselves in it. Mark and Dave unpack why emerging leaders need more than an invitation. They need a visible model, shared values, and space to discover that they genuinely want to lead. If you're tired of convincing reluctant people or wondering why no one is joining you, this episode will show you how to become a leader others can actually find.Save Your Seat for the "4 Questions to Get Started Making Disciples" 45 Min Zoom Lab next month: ⁠https://covomultipliers.com/s/UvpegxJoin our CoVo WhatsApp Field Room: https://covomultipliers.com/s/6Wanp8

On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT reacts to 2026 SEC Media Days and explains why the SEC may have made its playoff path harder by moving to a nine-game conference schedule without gaining additional CFP access. JT also breaks down why Georgia now carries the weight of restoring the SEC's national reputation, why Nick Saban believes Alabama is being underestimated, and how Tennessee's massive recruiting win could reshape the running back market. Plus, JT discusses Shane Beamer's pressure at South Carolina, Jon Sumrall's intense approach at Florida, and whether Will Stein's Curt Cignetti-style confidence can survive Kentucky's brutal schedule. Finally, JT explains why Jason Witten and Oklahoma's rebuilt tight end room could unlock John Mateer and the Sooners offense.

https://teachhoops.com/ If you look at the modern grassroots basketball landscape, you will see a massive, high-pressure push toward year-round, single-sport specialization. Club directors, private trainers, and over-eager parents will tell you that if your athletes aren't holding a basketball twelve months a year, playing in seventy summer showcase games, and skipping the fall football schedule or spring baseball tracks, they are falling behind the developmental curve. But when you step into the "Truth Room," you realize that this intense, hyper-specialized model is introducing an enormous operational leak into youth sports. Year-round specialization doesn't build better basketball players; it builds physically burnt-out, mentally exhausted, and highly fragile athletes who are prone to overuse injuries and emotional fatigue long before they reach their varsity peak. In this episode, we tackle one of the most critical cultural debates in high school sports: The Multi-Sport Athlete. We look at why the absolute best program builders don't just tolerate multi-sport athletes—they actively actively recruit them out of their school's hallways. Discover how playing multiple sports accelerates an athlete's physical coordination, protects their mental health, and sharpens a high-volume Decision IQ that transfers perfectly to the hardwood when the winter schedule tips off. To evaluate whether your program's culture actively fosters versatile athletic development or is quietly contributing to the single-sport specialization trap, ask yourself this question: "Are your off-season training expectations and summer scheduling demands designed to accommodate and value the kid who is currently competing on the gridiron, soccer pitch, or track, or are you quietly penalizing them on your winter depth chart because they chose to own another room during the basketball off-season?" If your gym standard treats a multi-sport athlete like an outsider who has "missed too much time," your culture is stuck in a transactional leak. But if you embrace the overlapping traits of multi-sport competition, you unlock a diverse roster of resilient, battle-tested winners. An elite multi-sport athlete brings unique physical and psychological traits to your winter roster that cannot be replicated by spending twelve straight months playing standard 5-on-5 basketball: The Hardwood Transfer: A kid who spent their fall absorbing contact on a football field or navigating tight spatial vision constraints on a soccer pitch does not shrink when physical friction arrives on a Friday night basketball court. They understand how to establish a low center of gravity, anchor their stance in the low post, and play through heavy contact to secure an interior rebound. They naturally protect your defensive Effective Field Goal Percentage ($eFG%$) because they possess an inherent standard of physical toughness. The Hardwood Transfer: Track athletes understand baseline stride efficiency, linear deceleration, and explosive leaping mechanics. Baseball and softball players possess elite hand-eye coordination and kinetic rotational timing. When you jam these diverse movement profiles into a 120-minute basketball practice script, their physical Rep Density scales rapidly because their bodies are structurally balanced and resilient against overuse strains. The Hardwood Transfer: When a multi-sport athlete walks into your locker room in November, they are starving for basketball. They aren't carrying the psychological exhaust of playing one hundred meaningless summer showcase games. They bring a fresh, competitive energy to the floor. They are experts at adjusting to different coaching lenses—knowing exactly how to submit to The Antagonist's defensive demands or follow The Yoda's tactical schemes because they've operated under different leadership models all year. Coach's Note: "Stop listening to the multi-million dollar club circuits telling you your kids need to specialize at fourteen years old. Look at the data: the absolute best competitors, the ones who know how to close out games under extreme pressure, are the kids who have spent their entire lives competing in every arena possible. When an athlete is a quarterback in the fall, a point guard in the winter, and a shortstop in the spring, they spend all year learning how to lead, how to handle adversity, and how to win. Share the kids, cooperate with your fellow coaches, and let's build complete athletes." Title Ideas: Should Basketball Players Specialize or Play Multiple Sports?

Finally, as Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated film “The Odyssey” hit theaters this week, many are asking how it holds up against Homer's classic.

Enrollment in language courses keeps dropping nationally. Bentley University found a way to buck that trend, and it didn't require a bigger budget or a mandate from above. Dr. Christian Rubio, Chair of Modern Languages and Director of the Honors Program at Bentley, joins host Grant Gearhart to explain how something as simple as a course name change opened the door to partnerships across campus, new degree pathways, and students who never would have walked into a language classroom otherwise. Dr. Rubio also served on the MLA committee that wrote the guidelines for evaluating publicly engaged humanities work, so this conversation goes beyond one school's playbook into what counts as meaningful curricular innovation in language departments right now.Check out Bentley's Languages in Business here.Check out one of the ways Bentley has marketed language study here.

The Penn State Nittany Lions scramble for answers after top running back recruit Aiden Gibson flips to Rutgers, shaking up Matt Campbell's recruiting strategy. Can Penn State recover and secure much-needed depth in their backfield, or will rival powerhouses like Georgia and LSU keep top targets out of reach? Zach Seyko and recruiting expert Brian Smith break down Penn State's next moves, debating whether to target elite high school backs, attack the transfer portal, or pursue realistic flips such as Da'Jon Talley-Rhodes from Indiana. Key topics include the challenges of NIL bidding wars, the strategic significance of recruiting the DMV and New Jersey regions, and the rising importance of transfer portal talent like James Peoples. The impact of recent setbacks at the running back and wide receiver positions raises critical questions about Campbell's long-term recruiting blueprint.

https://teachhoops.com/ Episode Title: Are You Building an Assistant Coaching Staff… or Just Hoping Someone Shows Up? Finding and keeping quality assistant coaches has become one of the biggest challenges in high school basketball. Low stipends, huge time commitments, year-round expectations, and private training opportunities are making it harder than ever to build a reliable staff. In this episode, Coach breaks down how head coaches can stop hoping assistants appear and start building a real staff culture. Assistant coaches do not stay just because of the stipend. They stay because they feel: valued trusted respected supported developed connected to the program If you want quality assistants, you have to build staff culture the same way you build team culture. 1) Recruit ThemDo not wait until August to start looking. Recruit assistants all year. Look for: former players youth coaches teachers in the building college players who moved back young coaches who want to learn reliable basketball people who care about kids The best assistant is not always the person who knows the most basketball. It is the person you can trust with your players. 2) Define Them“Just help out” is not a role. Every assistant needs a clear lane. Examples: player development defense scouting film clips lower-level communication rebounding and toughness parent communication support Clear roles create confidence. Vague roles create burnout. 3) Develop ThemAssistants need to feel like they are growing too. Use a short weekly staff meeting built around three questions: What are we seeing? What do our players need? What is each coach responsible for this week? Give assistants a voice. Let them coach. Let them present. Let them learn. People support what they help build. 4) Protect ThemGood assistants have families, jobs, and limits. Protect their time and energy. Not every assistant has to be at every open gym.Not every assistant has to break down every film.Not every assistant has to answer every parent question. Burnout is real. If you burn out good people, you will be replacing them every year. If a parent complains about an assistant, handle it.If players question an assistant, back your staff.If an assistant needs correction, do it privately. Your staff has to know you have their back. Your staff needs alignment beyond X's and O's. They should know: how you teach how you communicate how you correct players how you handle conflict how you run practice how you represent the program what your non-negotiables are If the staff is not aligned, players will feel it. The best time to find an assistant is before you have an opening. Build your pipeline by: inviting former players to help at camp letting young coaches sit in on practice bringing youth coaches into clinics teaching future assistants your language early This week, look at your staff and ask: Who am I recruiting? What role does each coach own? How am I helping them grow? How am I protecting their time and energy? Do not just build a team — build a staff Staff culture matters as much as team culture Assistants need roles, growth, and support Delegation is not dumping Alignment creates consistency for players Keeping assistants is program leadership Finding assistants is hard. Keeping them is leadership. If you build a staff that is aligned, trusted, valued, and growing, your players will feel it, your practices will improve, and your program will become stronger.

If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My Guest - Tina Seelig has spent 27 years at Stanford teaching some of the world's most ambitious people how to see and seize opportunities. She's a neuroscientist, the executive director of Knight Hennessy Scholars, and the author of 18 books. Her TED Talk on luck has been viewed over 3.4 million times. Her newest book is called What I Wish I Knew About Luck: A Crash Course on Turning Aspirations into Achievements. Key Learnings Tina's dad died at 99 and a half. Three weeks before his first great-grandbaby was born. He was still driving, going to three dinner parties a week, and talking to Tina every day. His curiosity was his superpower. He gave 66 lectures in his retirement community over 20 years, on topics ranging from nuclear weapons to climate change. Train yourself to be a professional noticer. When Tina's dad walked his grandkids into a new room, he'd give them a minute, then say "Shut your eyes." How many doors? Windows? What color is the carpet? Assume there's a million dollars in every room. It's up to you to find it. Opportunities are ubiquitous. You just have to look. Take the headphones off. The most powerful things happen when you engage with strangers. Standing in line. On the plane. Walking through campus. Tina sat next to a stranger named Mark on a plane. He was a publisher. He said no to her book proposal. She kept the relationship going. Years later, his editor approved the same proposal she had given Mark. Within two weeks, she had a contract. Wear something that invites conversation. A logo. A backpack from a conference. A college baseball shirt. Give the world a hook to start with you. Fortune is what happens to you. Luck requires action. Most people confuse the two and miss the chance to claim their agency. "With my luck, it's gonna rain." Reframe it: "With OUR luck, it's gonna be a beautiful sunny day." The reframe changes what you see.  Luck seldom sails solo. Most luck comes through other people. Cultivating meaningful relationships is the most underrated lucky behavior. You don't get a job. You get the keys to the building. The visible work isn't what gets you ahead. The invisible work is. Between stimulus and response is a choice. (Viktor Frankl) Within the constraints of fortune, agency is everything. "Tina, you think like a scientist." One sentence from a professor changed Tina's life. Leaders, know the weight of your words. Twenty years later, Tina wrote that professor a thank-you note. Twenty years after that, his granddaughter wrote back. They had read part of Tina's letter at his funeral. When a student made a bad decision, Tina's first instinct was to punish. She paused. Said, "Help me understand what happened." The whole community learned what empathy and humility look like in leadership. Unresolved conflict sucks the energy out of your day. Resolve it. You become taller, lighter, more open to lucky things. Oliver Greenwald sent Tina a list of 10 ways he could help her with her book. Nothing on the list was exactly what she wanted. She hired him anyway, because of the initiative. Build the sail to catch the wind. Build the ship. Your internal work. Values. Story. Goals. Recruit the crew. The people in your world. Hoist the sail. What you do every single day. Your core values are the keel of your ship. Without them, the first strong wind capsizes you. Keep a failure resume. Document what didn't work and what you'll do differently. Don't perseverate. Move on. "It's all good in the end. If it's not good, it's not the end." We're always in the middle of the story. Tina sends thank-you notes every single day. Five or ten minutes. Three or four sentences. Closes the loop. Builds the relationship. Don't end the dinner without making the next date. Most people drop the ball. Get it on the calendar before you leave. The instant you think something positive about someone, tell them. Be specific. Text. Email. Call. The instant. Tina's champagne moment: her newborn granddaughter at one year old. She just learned to turn over and looks so proud of herself. Reflection Questions What's on your failure resume right now that you haven't yet extracted the lesson from? Are you perseverating, or moving on? Whose thank-you note are you going to send today? Specific, genuine, unprompted.  Where in your life are you waiting for fortune and calling it bad luck? What is the action you've been avoiding because it requires you to put yourself out there?
