In this week’s edition of our end of summer best-of interview series, Dr. Jay speaks with business titan Frank O’Connell about his career as an innovator and leader of major corporations, and about the ideas on risk-taking and leadership that he shares in his book, Jump First, Think Fast.

Frank O’Connell is known for his unconventional approach to high performance, through his strategic thinking, brand building, breakthrough marketing, and new product ideas. A few of his many accomplishments include serving as President of Reebok Brands North America, President of HBO Video and, as a lifelong motorcycle enthusiast he served as CEO of Indian Motorcycles. 

During the conversation, Dr. Jay and Frank discuss how to determine good risk vs bad risk, if entrepreneurship is innate or can be taught, the importance of building relationships and how to do so in today’s more digital world, developing a strategic plan, why mindset is much more important than skill set, and a whole bunch more.
