What if your leadership wasn't planned? What can we learn from becoming a leader by accident?

This week on the podcast, William interviews Jim Rafferty, the author of Leader by Accident: Lessons in Leadership, Loss and Life. Leader by Accident recounts the tragedy that thrust Jim into a demanding volunteer role, and how that experience fueled a subsequent journey into entrepreneurship.

Jim is a marketing and communications consultant and Principal of JMRketing, LLC, in Baltimore, Maryland. A former radio announcer and program director, Jim now puts three decades of marketing experience to work in helping businesses communicate more effectively with their audiences. Incurably married and the father of two grown children, Jim spends his spare time singing wherever people will listen and sharing cringe-worthy Dad jokes on social media.

Check out Jim's book at https://www.leaderbyaccident.com/ and continue learning from this outstanding leader.

I want to invite you to check out the Committed Mastermind, a community I help lead along with world-class leaders like JC and Karen Hite, Vinnie Fisher, and Jonathan Mast, plus incredible mentors like Dr. Gary Chapman, author of The 5 Love Languages, and many others.

What can we learn about leadership from the Happiest Place on Earth? 

The first time Jeff Barnes visited Disneyland, he hated it. The experience just wasn’t for him, and he couldn’t imagine coming back to ride a ride or have an ice cream cone on Main Street.

But after a chance encounter with the life story of Walt Disney, Jeff’s mind was forever changed about the man and the kingdom he created. He fell in love with Disneyland and became a forever-fan of the man who built an empire based on a loveable mouse.

In this episode, William interviews Jeffrey Barnes, a Walt Disney historian and the author of two bestselling books, The Wisdom of Walt and Life Lessons from Walt, each capturing the details of this entertainment legend’s life and the lessons his successes and failures can teach us all.

A motivational speaker and workshop presenter, Jeff channels his love for Disney into engaging live and virtual experience for audiences, helping them learn life’s greatest lessons and discover the foundation of the magical destinations that are loved around the world.

When he’s not giving a personal tour of a Disney park, you’ll find Jeff exploring local ice cream shops or traveling throughout the United States visiting friends.

Sign up for Jeff's weekly emails at https://thewisdomofwalt.com/, and discover the insights he's written about in his books (links at the same site).

Jerry Macnamara often says "success without fulfillment is the greatest business ripoff." Why does he say that, and why is the leadership gap the greatest threat to what and who you lead?

Jerry Macnamara has successfully led award-winning companies in multiple industries: retail, manufacturing, internet, construction and business services. He’s sold products, he’s sold services, and over the last 25 years, he’s grown companies in B2B and B2C.

He says, The product doesn’t matter. The service doesn’t matter. The industry doesn’t matter. The channel doesn’t matter. Business is widgets. (PS – Your business is NOT different.) The only thing that matters is your approach.

Jerry's company, Proven Chaos, helps CEOs create compelling companies that outperform...and still make it home by dinner. Get in touch with him at http://provenchaos.com/
