In the 1999 film The Matrix, Neo was given two choices: take the blue pill and stay asleep, or take the red pill and, as Morpheus puts it, "...you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes." Which one would you choose? In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius talks with Rand Stagen, highly sought-after speaker and Managing Director of the Stagen Leadership Academy. In this wide-ranging discussion, Rand shares some of the insights he's gained in the world of conscious leadership, including the aforementioned line from The Matrix, which has provided inspiration for Rand and his team in their work. You'll learn how Rand and his business partner applied the principles behind high-intensity fitness training and applied them to leadership development. You'll discover how getting out of our own way can often result in us becoming conduits for profound and powerful ideas. You'll learn why the community told Rand that he needed to "get out of the way," changing the business from a semi-secret model to something that could be scaled to create a bigger impact. You'll also discover how using conscious leadership can help elevate others as well as ourselves. Join Darius and Rand as they explore ways to elevate your identity to the next level and demonstrate that business can, in fact, be a force for good. Enjoy! What You’ll Learn in this Show: How Rand took the principles of physical fitness - a structured high-intensity regimen that creates predictable results - and applied it to deep mental work and development. Why it's essential to take leadership to the next level, along with suggestions on how that can be achieved. How getting our egos out of the way can often result in us becoming a conduit for new and powerful ideas. How we can help elevate those around us by engaging in conscious leadership.
