Tell Your Story – The Mentors Radio

In today’s episode, The Mentors Radio host Tom Loarie talks with world-renown performance psychologist Jim Loehr, PhD, about the power of story — the power of YOUR story. How to find it? Are you following your story or someone else’s

Jim has coached some of the most elite professionals in sports, athletics, business, military and nonprofits. These are professionals who are so well-trained and high-level that what will give them “an edge” and what will give them a sense of happiness or fulfillment has nothing to do with skill or technique. Instead, this is how to retrain your thinking to become your truest self, resulting in “a seismic shift,” as Jim describes it, in people’s lives–from frustration or unhappiness to vibrant happiness and feeling of fulfillment. His Institute of Performance, his books and success are world renown.

In this episode, The Mentors Radio host Tom Loarie knocks it out of the ballpark in an absolutely inspiring interview with multiple award-winning boxing champ Hector Colón as Hector talks about his remarkable journey from the boxing ring to the board room. You’ll hear first-hand, real-world experience on the power of self-discipline, focus, having a higher “why” and purpose, and on always—ALWAYS—putting others before yourself.

Now president and CEO of Lutheran Social Services of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan (LSS), even though he’s not Lutheran or Norwegian—a rarity in the organization’s leadership. Under Colón’s visionary and innovative leadership, LSS has adapted new models and business strategies to increase relevancy and operational efficiency. In a nutshell, Hector Colón took the organization from a deficit of $1MM to a thriving profit which has enabled the organization to invest in further outreach. ALL he learned in leadership tracks back to an amazing boxing coach and his own willingness to be teachable, to listen and learn, to act always with integrity and self-discipline, and to put others first.

The Mentors Radio Host Tom Loarie today talks with legendary San Quentin Death Row Chaplain, the Rev. Earl Smith. Rev. Smith has been on our show before, but in case you didn’t notice it in his interview, we replay it for you today – Thanksgiving Weekend – because every part of his life and story echoes a life of Gratitude.

Even though his father was a preacher, Earl Smith chose a different path, for reasons you’ll hear in the interview. Got involved in gangs, in drug selling, and… eventually… was shot 6 times and left for dead.

That’s when a real-life miracle happened. He survived, but it wasn’t thought he’d pull through in the hospital. The miracle took place in the hospital — nothing outstanding or “showy,” but rather something interior, something deep, something he knew without doubt was beyond this world, which he credits to the prayers and faith of his father.

You’ll learn about all this and more — the surprising way he became the youngest Death Row chaplain EVER in history, the common sense ways he’s influenced and impacted inmates on Death Row as well a other prison chaplains… And more — Rev. Earl Smith is also the Chaplain of two well-known pro-sports teams the San Francisco Bay Area—the Golden State Warriors and the San Francisco 49ers. You’ll learn how he’s used his breadth of listening experience and prayerful wisdom to build and, in a sense, cross-polinate between pro athletes and Death Row criminals such fledgling virtues as Hope, Gratitude, Focus, Humility and a sense of Higher Purpose.

In today’s episode, The Mentors Radio Host Tom Loarie talks with Guest Mentor Salvatore Buscemi about how the top 0.001%—the wealthiest of the wealthy—invest their dollars, preserve their wealth and what they care about. You’ll also learn why that is useful information for any entrepreneur to know, and how to tap into this resource for your own ventures. Buscemi is the CEO and co-founder of Dandrew Partners, a private family investment firm, and he’s been working closely with these investors for years, ultimately authoring several books on the topic, including his latest book, Investing Legacy: How the .001% Invest.

Host Tom Loarie, has spent the past 45 years building healthcare companies from the ground up, and working with some of these unique investors along the way, so this is an exceptionally fascinating, insider conversation!

Creating a vision, building strong teams, developing plans and budgets to support precision execution in business are keys to success, but nothing can be achieved without capital, which makes this episode and interview exceptionally useful information for business owners and entrepreneurs.
