Elevation Nation

To elevate ourselves in the workplace, we more likely than not will have to have difficult conversations with leaders, managers, or other people who make decisions. It almost seems like nervousness and anxiety is inevitable. However, we discuss some helpful techniques that have worked for us to prepare and manage a difficult conversation in the workplace. And of course, it starts with exercising some mental fortitude.  

Jack Settleman is the Founder of Snapback Sports, a sports media company that has cemented itself as a leader in the new age of sports media. SnapBack Sports has the largest sports Snapchat account in the world with over 1 million followers and over 500+ million views and a top sports podcast called SnapBack Podcast.

While Jack is killing it as a CEO and content creator, he is so much more than what he does for work. Jack has a passion for community service, NFTs, the Baltimore Ravens, and showing love to his fans, friends, and family each day.

This week, we go beyond sports and have a deep conversation with Jack about who he is and how he got to where he is now… because at the end of the day, he is just another young adult trying to figure out the real world.

As a young adult in the real world, it can be difficult to decide how and where to put our money. Whether our cash is going towards rent, a savings or brokerage account, retirement fund or the local sushi spot, figuring out a balanced system can be overwhelming. We talk through our very different financial mindsets and how we sometimes need a little mental fortitude to stay true to our goals.

It is getting to that time of the year when college graduates are starting their first jobs. As a common theme on The Elevation Nation Podcast, we take the time to get vulnerable and share what we struggled with in our first few weeks in our first job. More importantly, we talk through our advice to new hires on how to use mental fortitude to find footing in this new environment. 

After college Jeremy Stauffer was on a typical engineering route. Graduate with an engineering degree and join the corporate world. Although he liked his job, Jeremy has always had a love for boating. So much so, that he tried starting a boating company while working his full time job. When he realized that he found himself focusing so much more time and attention on boating, he quit his job to go all in.

We talk with Jeremy about this experience and how we uses mental fortitude to run his own boating company brokering, operating and captaining all types of boats.

You could say that he is the “captain of his own life” now.
