Bet on You

When we hear the word “mindset,” we tend to think we have just one.  Ryan Gottfredson, a leadership development professor, researcher, and consultant shares with us that we actually have four!  Knowing these four mindsets, and how to manage them, are the keys to unlocking our full potential.  In this episode, Ryan introduces the concept of “vertical development” – a new way for you to think about your growth on your journey. 

New York Times Best-Selling Author of “The Glass Castle” Jeanette Walls joins Bet on You Radio to talk about her recent book “Hang the Moon.”  During our conversation, Jeanette shares the emotional journey she went when on while writing her first book, a memoir.  Through the process, she met more people who, like her, found a newfound courage when they shared their story.  This level of vulnerability inspired her to write in a new genre, nonfiction.  You won’t want to miss this episode – it’s a high energy, vulnerable conversation that will inspire you to own your past, confront your fears, and bet on you.

Andy Kaufman is the host of the “People & Projects Podcast.”  Andy knows succeeding in business often comes down to your ability to lead people and deliver results. Anyone can talk a good game, but, at the end of the day, it’s all on you.  Tune in to this Bet on You Radio episode and learn key lessons on leading people, launching your goals, and pursuing your dreams.

AJ and his partner Johnny created their wildly acclaimed podcast, “The Art of Charm,” mainly due to a challenge they found themselves in during college: the need to build better social connections.  This sparked “The Art of Charm,” which has opened the door to incredible podcasting success, complete with great experiences like getting made fun of on “Saturday Night Live” to interviewing with Kobe Bryant about his children’s book.  AJ discusses the critical value of connections during our “Bet on You” journey, and gives great guidance on how to become more emotionally intelligent – an area where we can all improve.

In 2013, CEO Steven Sashen went on Shark Tank and proposed a deal of $400,000 at an 8% stake. The Sharks of the show laughed off his valuation, and Kevin O’Leary made a counteroffer of $400,000, but at a 50% stake. Sashen stood his ground and had the confidence, courage and self-trust to say “No” to the offer, realizing that the Sharks undervalued his company. It was a smart decision - - Xero Shoes then grew into a huge success!

What were the keys to his success? Preparation! Steven really understood his business value and the market, so he was able to make the right decision in the pressure tank. But he also had to stay calm under pressure. All entrepreneurs are crazy or hard-wired to a certain extent, but when push comes to shove, it’s important to have Teflon skin with your business.
