Many years ago, I introduced a new format that alongside our regular episodes called “Lessons for Hannah.” Hannah is my daughter and one of the main inspirations for the Misfit Entrepreneur. I wanted to have a place where she could go and learn from her daddy and his Misfit friends throughout her life….even after I am gone. If you haven’t listened to the first episode of "Lessons for Hannah," I urge you to as it gives some more background and tells the amazing story of how Hannah came to be in our lives.

Lessons for Hannah are short, very useful, and sometimes comical lessons, that I want to share with you and give to Hannah to help in your lives. Because I want Hannah to have these for her life, I’m going to speak as though I am talking directly to her. These episodes are a lot of fun and if you think there is a lesson that we should include in these episodes, please don’t hesitate to send it over to us at [email protected]. We’d love to share it.

Welcome to another solo edition of the Misfit Entrepreneur!

I want to talk about something that I’ve mentioned a number of times on the show, but most people overlook—and that’s sitting down to ask themselves, “What do I truly want?” I’ve had more people reaching out asking me for my thoughts on how they better design their life and find true meaning and purpose.

I think people are starting to realize that too often, we chase results without really knowing our own core values. And if you’re not clear on what you believe in, you’re not going to get what you want.

So, in this episode, we are going to dive deep into how building your very own “personal operating system” can change your life. We’ll look at why knowing your core principles matters, how I built mine, and I’ll give you a simple five-step process to do this for yourself.

This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is Dave Rosenberg. If you have ever wanted know what it means to be radically accountable, Dave is the guy to learn from. He is a former F-14 naval officer (think Top Gun) who founded Locked On Leadership, a premier leadership development firm who has worked with well over 100 organizations helping them to learn what it means to lead and build high performing teams. If that is not enough, he is also a multiple black belt across several martial art disciplines.

One thing that really cause my attention was that during his time in the military, Dave had a lot of leadership roles, but in one role he spent over 100 days leading a team of sailors during preparations for Desert Storm. As he says, “That was one of the most intense leadership experiences of my life. Morale was a constant challenge, and I quickly learned that motivation wears off, but inspiration lasts. The right words at the right time made all the difference in keeping my team focused, engaged, and mission-ready.”

It was this quote that really peaked my interest to have him on the show.

This week’s Misfit Entrepreneurs are Robert and Kay Lee Fukui. Robert and Kay are former fortune 500 standouts, who saw an opportunity to help married entrepreneurs and business owners create harmony between the rigorous demands of building a business and maintaining a healthy, happy thriving marriage.

Their company, Couples by Design teaches entrepreneurs and business owners and their spouses how have it all – a thriving business and marriage by helping them better understand themselves, each other, and how to support each other in business and at home.

We all know the challenges of being responsible for a business and working to maintain a good environment at home, but the stats don’t lie. Some estimates suggest that up to 48% entrepreneurs get divorced. That is way too high and a big problem, because speaking from experience, it is a lot easier to succeed as an entrepreneur, when you have good support at home from your spouse. So I had to have Robert and Kay on the show to share how you can thrive in this area of your life.
