What does it take to build and manage a successful TEAM? Scott and Vince sit down with University of San Diego Head Football Coach, Dale Lindsey, to discuss managing a successful team. While building a team in sports versus team building in business may have some clear differences, the principles that go into the development and management of a successful team are the same.

Scott, Vince, and Coach Lindsey talk about identifying the right people—those that align with the core values of the organization and ensuring that they have the right personality to align or adapt with the team philosophy. They discuss how leadership types play an important role in driving the team—in bringing the best out of the team. They talk about the importance of leaders listening to their leadership teams. Whether that's coaches with their coordinators or CEOs with their executives. If you're not listening to them, you may need to ask yourself "why did you hire them?"

Tune in this week for this great conversation with special guest, USD Head Football Coach, Dale Lindsey.

Scott and Vince kick off season 3 talking about Vulnerability. While they have talked about this important topic before back in Season 1, Episode 6 with special guest, Scott Empringham, this time around they dive into being vulnerable in your professional life, as well as your personal life.

Time in time again, being vulnerable with your colleagues, employees, your team, and even your clients, can improve—and build—relationships. We all know that business thrives on relationships—they are a key component. It is often hard to have a relationship without trust, and there is no better way to establish trust than by being vulnerable and showing who you really are.

Tune into this great conversation and see if applying the practice of being vulnerable is something you are doing, or perhaps something you should be doing in your work life as well as your home life.
