Hello and welcome to another edition of the Captain’s Coach Podcast. I’m your host Luke Poulos and today I am bringing you a great conversation with Fred Stuvek. Fred is the author of the book It Starts With You: Turn Your Goals Into Success. I am about half way through it myself and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to kickstart a business, a team, a program, and just their personal life in general. Fred has been highly successful in the business world where he has held senior leadership positions in private and public companies, both domestically and internationally. Key successes include an international medical imaging start-up that led to a successful IPO, and forming a private medical services company, which he subsequently sold. Fred is a graduate of the United States Naval Academy and was a Quarterback on the Football Team. He is also a member of the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame for achievements in football, basketball, baseball, and track where he was a Captain for three out of those four sports. Today we jump around from his time in high school to his business ventures and everything in between. A continual theme is the importance of personal accountability and self-awareness and how it pertains to leadership on and off the field.
