Decision Point

Late last year, I happened to stumble upon a Tedx video that really inspired me. The woman giving the talk shared a powerful story about getting fired from her C-suite position and what it means to be true to yourself when faced with adversity.

Her name is Heather Monahan and she's a best-selling author, keynote speaker, entrepreneur, and founder of Boss In Heels. Heather was kind enough to come on our show to share more about the event that changed the course of her career and what she gained from that difficult experience that has helped her become a leading voice when it comes to creating confidence in others. Listen in to hear her story.

Al Samouelian is the CEO at RPM, a logistics and supply chain company, and one of the fastest growing companies in America. Al hasn't been sheltered from adversity during the COVID-19 pandemic, but he recently got a perspective check when his 5-year-old daughter serendipitously placed a book about mental toughness on his desk one morning.

We invited Al onto the show to talk about that moment with his daughter and his journey from sales leader to organizational leader. But as the conversation progressed, we got into some other areas, including a truly impactful story about his late father, Big Al. Listen in to hear the full story.

Is gratitude a key component of mental toughness? Scott MacGregor thinks so. He's the Founder and CEO of Something New LLC and the author of "Standing O!" and "Standing O! Encore" which are collections of essays from athletes, CEOs, and entrepreneurs sharing the lessons they've learned from influential people in their lives.

We talked with Scott about how living a life of gratitude has helped him overcome adversity in life and in sales. The conversation may change your perspective on the power of gratitude - and not just gratitude for the good things. But also having gratitude for the hard things that shape us and make us stronger. Listen in to hear Scott's story.

Morgan Ingram's road to sales success has been anything but ordinary. Morgan is the Director of Sales Execution and Evolution at JB Sales and is also the host of his own show called The SDR Chronicles, which provides motivation, tactics and skills for all aspects of the SDR journey. He's also a successful public speaker and - at heart - a motivator.

In order to become the kind of voice that could coach others to success, Morgan had to learn how to channel his natural enthusiasm amidst adversity and failure. And as you'll hear at the top of our conversation, his dedication to perseverance and preparation came in quite handy during an unexpected conversation with a stranger that changed everything.
