No matter what room you walk into, you never want to be the smartest one there, however there are times when people play too small because they don’t believe they belong in a room amongst giants. Today, you’re about to take a deep dive into the mentality of iconic excellence. 

Kris Whitehead is the epitome of human excellence.  He’s the founder of Iconic Alliance, helping business owners navigate the path to being transformative leaders in life and business. He’s an Executive Head Coach for the Apex network and is a bestselling author, speaker, and Elite Business Coach. 

In today’s episode, Tom and Kris share a few laughs at the expense of Kris hinting around a couple of his nicknames as they discuss the earlier iterations of their lives 24 years ago compared to 18 months ago.  Kris brings passion and energy to every conversation he has as he shares how he’s gotten more accomplished in one year than he did in the previous 20 years of his life and career.  Tom and Kris discuss their journeys into the evolution of figuring out entrepreneurship, the lessons learned, and the discovery of the emotional intelligence required to have the confidence and fortitude to make a splash in any room by simply being yourself. They share the story of how the “Goon Squad” formed and take a deep dive on the personal successes of each member and the impact of having a group of like-minded, accountable people to share their mission with.

Favorite Quote:

“Go ahead and feel the humiliation cause that’s what it is to me of catching yourself calling yourself fat and me calling myself stupid. What are the different things I would say that I just said in front of someone and I just outed myself in front of someone I respect? Feel it and be committed to change.”
