Do you wish your situation was different? Do you feel like you're just waiting for the storm to pass so that you can do what you need to do?

Eric and Eli from Speaker labs return and give us major insights on how they navigated their last few years. In this episodes Eric and Eli share on:

• The value to be uncomfortable and take action
• The importance to have a social connection with someone before a business connection
• How you don’t actually need a co-founder with different strengths, you just need someone who enjoys spending their time on a slightly different area
• The need to focus on being adaptable

In today’s episode, Greg is interviewed by Massimo on how his sole mission in life is to challenge all of us to be better. MAKING HUMANS BETTER HUMANS has been at the foundation of his leadership training company, Witz Education, for over 30 years.

As an entrepreneur, thought leader, author, mentor and father, Greg creatively blends psychology and communication skills with street smarts and a no BS approach. From startups to the White House, bringing entrepreneurs and business leaders to the top of their game is Greg’s passion. His rich understanding of organizational and human development coupled with his own corporate experience allows Greg to effectively and energetically design and deliver tailor-made programs that have transformed thousands of Witz clients’ careers and personal lives.

Highlights from today's podcast include:

• How he got into sales and facilitation and why he hated it when he first got started
• The struggles he experienced while growing a business and how he handled the hardest years
• How a turbulent relationship with his father shaped how he leads and acts today
• The downsides of his relentlessness and how he manages the fire within him. I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Massimo Backus on his podcast, The Leadership Mind. 

I had the chance to share my story and expertise and would love for you to have a listen! When great leadership breaks down, it is in the "being," the leader's internal experience that falls short first. The Leadership Mind Podcast explores stories of where leaders' humanity was both the cause of their greatest challenges and their greatest success. If you are looking for a place to learn what makes or breaks excellent leadership, this is the podcast for you!
