We’re revisiting episodes 303 and 305 with Ruben Gonzalez and John C. Morley. Denis asks our guests who their favorite leader is and what the one question is that they would ask over coffee. We tackle the downsides of how today’s leaders are too concerned about being ‘liked’ that they avoid hard conversations and the importance of never giving up after a setback. Tune in!
In this episode:
- Ruben shares why Nelson Mandela, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and Mahatma Gandhi are his favorite leaders and what is one question he would ask them.
- How today’s society has become so afraid of truth and toughness that people have begun walking on eggshells about everything.
- John shares why immersion is the key to implementing lessons to change your life.
- Why you need to think outside the box in order to make things happen.
Key Takeaways:
- Have the courage to not only get started but also to not quit.
- We need to work with people to get the best out of them – That includes having hard conversations.
- Be proactive, rather than reactive.
- Change your mind, change your life.
- Don’t wait for opportunities to come, make them happen.
Tweetable Quote:
“The coach’s job is to teach, correct, and lead the way. And the athlete’s job is to work their tail off and do whatever the coach says. If they both do their job, they have a greater chance of the team winning. That’s business.” – Ruben Gonzalez
