Passion is a great thing. It's what makes the world go around. But when does passion become too much such that it tends to limit and restrict your growth?
This week, we learn about the concept of blinded passion as we bring in Deborah Anthony on the show today. She talks more about it as well as other great takeaways from her book, Beyond The Limits: A Journey To True Passion. Deborah is also leading our group coaching program at Experience Leadership.
A little backstory here â when Deborah got fired from a previous job, she decided to write a book because she didnât want such a painful experience to go to waste. Her book is a great reminder that we all have hardships that we need to go through in life. And the biggest lesson she wants everyone to walk away from is the power of taking personal ownership.
In this episode, you will hear:
Blinded passion: How does passion limit and restrict your growth? Creating the difference between activity and progress How do you combine your whys? Lessons from the book, Beyond The Limits What's ahead for Deborah Anthony in 2021Subscribe and Review

What corporate culture is. Why culture is the way to lead. How each person within an organization leads an enterprise and manages an economy of one. How leaders can create a culture of rebels while at the same time channeling them in a unified direction. How to develop your companyâs culture while still focusing on scaling the company.

Today we have a special guest joining us. Dr. Kaliym Isalm is an author and the founder of The TrainingPro Academy. He also runs a boutique educational consulting firm and works as an Assistant Professor of Practice at Southern Illinois University. Kaliym has written four books and, in this episode, we are talking about his most recent, The 12 Inch Rule of Leadership.
When Kaliym joined his fraternity, he had to memorize a 12 inch rule. What he came to find over the years is that those who could recite those 12 rules on command (even long after they first joined the fraternity) had a much steeper career trajectory than those who forgot the rules. This launched Kaliym into an in-depth research project which turned into a book.
Throughout our conversation, we talk more about this process of bringing The 12-Inch Rule of Leadership to fruition. We also get into Kaliymâs educational and career background and discuss some of his best leadership principles. Tune in to learn from the many varied experiences of Kaliym Isalm.
In this episode, you will hear:
Kaliymâs experiences in the Air Force. How he got into education. The two phrases that sum up his leadership: innovation and taking chances. How he leveraged technology to make a difference. The importance of value-based learning. Where Kaliym came up with the idea for The 12 Inch Rule of Leadership. What the book covers. How to be an effective communicator. How to maintain the dignity of simplicity when you give a message.Subscribe and Review

Today we are excited to have Frank Cupersmith with us. Frank is the CEO and former owner of RowCal, an association management company.
The really interesting thing about Frank is that he decided exactly how he wanted to exit his business. This is something all of us could learn from. Every entrepreneur is going to leave their business somehow. You may sell it, it may fail, or you may even die as the owner. Regardless, youâre going to leave somehow; you might as well do it by design.
This is exactly what Frank did. He was able to sell his company and now has more freedom in his life. We are thrilled to have him on the show to talk about this process and what it did for both his company and himself internally.
If youâre looking to learn from a strong exit strategy or simply want to make a difference the way that Frank has made a difference, tune in.
In this episode, you will hear:
Frankâs background in real estate. What his experience of going out on his own and launching a business was like. How he and his partner built momentum in their business. How they started acquiring people and building trust. The importance of investing in your employees. The difference between being an investor and being an owner of a business. How to release people that donât align with your core values. What gave Frank the courage to sell his shares in his business. How that gave him greater work-life balance.Subscribe and Review

In this summer entrepreneur series, we have been talking with business owners all over the spectrum. Some run eight-figure businesses and some run smaller ones. Today, though, we wanted to introduce an entrepreneur who is within the genesis of his business.
A lot of early entrepreneurs donât put the right systems in place right away. They donât lay the necessary foundations for building a strong business. So I thought it would be really helpful for all of you emerging entrepreneurs who have experienced this struggle to hear from someone who is just a few steps ahead of you.
Brad Houston is the owner of Guyâs Sewer and Drain, a drain cleaning business in the Twin Cities/Minneapolis/St. Paul area. Today he is joining us to talk all about his journey to becoming an entrepreneur and the process he has gone through until now to grow his business.
In this episode, you will hear:
Bradâs career history. What drove him to entrepreneurship. Why advocacy is so important to him. His vision for Guyâs Sewer and Drain. How being successful as an entrepreneur allows you to make more impact. Bradâs highest values in life and business.Subscribe and Review

As you likely already know, in an entrepreneurial journey, no one starts out as an entrepreneur. Take my story for example. Straight out of college, I jumped into the nonprofit world. After years of struggles and pay cuts, I became extremely passionate about the budding entrepreneurs I was meeting and the big dreams they carried. It was at this point that I decided to step out on my own to help them and, in that, became an entrepreneur myself.
Weâre smack dab in the middle of a series on entrepreneurship where weâve been highlighting a lot of our clients. However, today we wanted to switch it up a bit by expanding on the story I told above. Iâm going to share all about my entrepreneurial journey and that of our team here at Experience Leadership.
There are five lessons that I've picked up over the last decade of being an entrepreneur. During this amazing time of supporting entrepreneurs and leaders within our communities and around the world, I had to learn these five lessons over and over again. They not only apply to me though; theyâve been practiced by many of the leaders that I've had the privilege of working with over the years as well. Tune in to learn these five keys to being a highly successful entrepreneur.
In this episode, you will hear:
Entrepreneurs are driven by something beyond money. Why we dig deep beneath the surface with our clients. Entrepreneurs are humble enough to both teach and learn. Entrepreneurs focus on the things that matter. There are two types of entrepreneurs: technicians and visionaries. Entrepreneurs are aware of their limitations. The importance of connection and relationships in entrepreneurship.Subscribe and Review

Businesses exist to help others to bring value to others. But they're so busy doing it, that sometimes they can't sum up why they do what they do, or what difference they are making, or the problems they're truly solving for others. A huge factor in growing your business is being able to truly tell your story, but itâs also a common dilemma many businesses have.
A lot of people have websites and online presences that have been just their branding. Their products have been forced into these boxes. But they haven't really thought through what makes them different.
Todayâs leadership spotlight is on Mark Zubert, founder of One Wheel Marketing. With over 20 years of marketing communications experience, Mark has a passion for partnering with small business owners to help them get their message out and highlight how theyâre impacting lives.
In this episode, you will hear:
Markâs entrepreneurial journey Their goal to help companies tell their own stories Some adjustments businesses needed to figure out during the pandemic The struggle to build a business culture as things are going remote How to keep your culture aligned and moving forward How theyâre helping local businesses figure out where their local customers areSubscribe and Review

Not only has he brought his expertise based on his integrity model and his role as a sales leader but he has also helped us understand how all of that integrates into culture.
