How'd it Happen?

In this episode, I talk about a Trust – specifically how I don’t expect to be trusted even though I tend to trust implicitly.  In a conversation I had with Stephen M.R. Covey on the 300th episode of “How’d It Happen?” we were discussing his new book, “Trust and Inspire – How Truly Great Leaders Unleash Greatness in Others,” and the exercise of taking stock of what you see in the mirror.

In this episode, I share with you what I saw in the mirror. You won’t want to miss this episode. Enjoy!

In this episode, I talk about something pretty heavy -- the Weight of Worry.  The longer you worry about something and don’t take action, the heavier it gets to you – and 90% of what we worry about never happens.  So have a listen to my take on Worry.

In this episode, I talk about this thing called Legacy – this notion that the sum of what we do, who we are, and what we leave behind will continue to live on, quote, unquote.  No pressure there. 

I share with you my take on Legacy, which just might surprise you. But if you approach Legacy the way I do, it might relieve some of that pressure.

Tom Hardin previously spent much of his career as a financial analyst in the U.S. In 2008, as part of a cooperation agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice, Tom assisted the U.S. government in understanding how insider trading occurred in the financial services industry.

Known as “Tipper X,” Tom became one of the most prolific informants in securities fraud history, helping to build over 20 of the 80+ individual criminal cases in “Operation Perfect Hedge,” a Wall Street house cleaning campaign that morphed into the largest insider trading investigation of a generation. As the youngest professional implicated in the sting, Tom was tasked with wearing a covert body wire on over 40 occasions to help the FBI bring down some of its biggest targets in the industry.

In a reunion of sorts, Tom was invited by the FBI-NYC’s office to speak to their rookie agents in 2016 and is now a global keynote speaker, corporate trainer and board advisor on behavioral ethics, compliance and organizational conduct and culture risk. Through rigorous self-examination, Tom took responsibility for his actions as a young professional, used the experience to transform his life and is now on an on-going journey into human behavior and why we sometimes make the wrong decision.

Tom holds a B.S. in Economics from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Tom’s riveting life story is the subject of his forthcoming book, The Inside Story of Tipper X.

In this episode, I talk about expectations – why you have to expect a lot.

You hear a lot of people claim they don’t want pressure; they don’t want stress; they don’t want accountability in their lives.  I don’t believe it, and in this episode I talk about your role as the leader in managing the expectations of your team members.

Jay Tiegs is a Certified High-Performance Coach and transitioning veteran with over 25 years of military service. His mantra “Do Hard Things” has enabled him to overcome many struggles in his life and achieve success, from a directionless teenager who grew up in a fatherless home to a commissioned officer in the US Army, where he successfully commanded two units that specialize in leadership development.

 This is an inspirational conversation about adaptability, transition, reinvention and transformation. We talk about Jay's 25 year career in the Army - how he narrowly avoided committing suicide - being raised by his Father's ex-wife (who was not his mom) - how becoming part of a team made him feel something new - making amends with his birth mom just before she died - how combat engineers use SOSERA (Supress, Obscure, Secure, Reduce & Assault) to remove obstacles in war - Why the military creates so many great leaders - How Jay's purpose extends beyond his uniform - Why HARD (Health, Affluence, Relationships & Development) are the keys to a great life - and how the Do Hard Things Nation is teaching people the confidence and the courage they need to push through barriers and make amazing breakthroughs.
