BUILDERS with Alex Snider

What makes a successful business leader?

There’s a lot of debate, especially in our rapidly changing times where there is an evolving dichotomy between old school and new school approaches. But what if there were core ingredients regardless of your work and leadership style that generate true success? And just how can we all leverage those to propel us forward in even the most challenging times?

In this episode we are joined by François de Neuville to talk about Self Mastery’s role in business success.

After a decade as a commando-paratroopers Platoon Leader, surviving a tsunami and earthquake while rescuing a child and embarking on a life of paragliding pilot adventures, humanitarian and natural disaster volunteerism, and digital nomading, Francois knows a thing or two about high performance, high stress environments and resilience.

We covered so much ground around leadership, business growth, teams and the role and impact of self mastery with powerful takeaways including:

The role SaaS and Automations are playing in revolutionizing businesses

At this point SaaS tools are commonplace, but are you reaping the returns of your investment?  

How do we choose and connect the appropriate SaaS tools for our businesses to be as productive, profitable, and impactful as possible and how does automation not only increase speed but reduce risk?

This episode, ironically, was marked by tech and process challenges including a road closure due to mudslide that meant Michael Hayles was struck in a low signal zone and could not join BUT his fantastic business partner Alex Taylor jumped in to stand in his place to deliver some incredible insights on:

Where and how to get started

Platform selection

The key success factors to implementation and adoption

Massive time saving examples

The significant risk reductions these technologies create

The things we so often see companies struggle with that waste money and negate the benefits of their investments

What it really takes to navigate a down market…

Lean times call for, well, getting lean. But did you know this applies not only to your business but yourself? 

In this episode we are joined by Kirsten Chapman, to talk about the ins and outs of navigating a down market for your business and yourself.

As a founding executive team member of Indigo Books & Music, Canada’s largest and most iconic brand of book retailers, and having weathered multiple recessions, Kirsten understands the resilience required of startups and the nuances of leading through times of change.

We covered some serious territory on this call in under 30 mins! So as you’re staring into the abyss that is this recession, this conversation dives into the things to consider when looking to make the most of this time for your business (and yourself) to come out on an upward trajectory:

What Goes Down, Must Come Up 

Get Lean and Clean House 

Connection is King 

Know Your Customer 

Participatory Processes 

You have to trust yourself to be able to trust others

Resilience In Recession: The Role Of Emotional Fortitude From A Former Undercover Agent

In this episode we are joined by Itamar Marani, ex-Israeli Special Forces, to talk about the tools used by Mossad agents to perform under immense prolonged pressure that he has successfully leveraged to help entrepreneurs create meaningful growth.

With an incredible journey that’s the stuff movies are made of including being the youngest federal agent and Air Marshal in Israel’s history, being ranked Top 10 in the world for Amateur Brazilian Jiujitsu, managing multi-national SEAL teams and 9 figure asset security around the world, Itamar undeniably knows what it takes to outperform under pressure.

Massive gratitude to Itamar for the incredible breakdowns and personal stories shared in this conversation. 

If you feel that someone with the same skillset as yourself could be achieving more… this one's for you. 

What insecurity am I trying to avoid? 

Who do I want respect from? 

Motivation is a band aid. 

You don’t rise to the occasion, you fall to the lowest level of your training. 

Don’t let one moment paint your whole view of the world. 

Your plan needs to account for your humanness.
