The Corporate Bartender

What's up everyone and welcome to The Corporate Bartender!

Happy New Year to everyone! Let's get 2025 off to a rip roaring start, shall we?

We've got the Lior Arussy on the show today! Don't know Lior? Well, you're in for a TREAT!

Ever wonder why some people come through challenges stronger and more successful, while for others it's a rough road?  Lior, who has done this a bunch of times, believes that the critical factor determining failure or success lies in the story people craft around their experiences.

In his new book, DARE TO AUTHOR! Take Charge of the Narrative of Your Life, he provides a reality check and a toolkit for taking charge of your life story, focusing on the power you possess, and using it to build the career and life you want.

There are so many golden nuggets in this one, you're gonna take a lot of notes! Go get the "good pen!"

This conversation was a PHENOMENAL, it was one of my FAVORITES of 2024, and TCB Nation, I think you're gonna dig it!

Happy Holidays to everyone! The holidays are chock full of inspirational moments, and we want to add one to yours. We've got an amazing guest today, who's got some fantastic stories.

We've got the Rusty Komori on the show today! Don't know Rusty? You probably should, so stick around!

Rusty is an inspirational keynote speaker, executive coach, and tennis professional based in Honolulu, Hawaii. From 1994 through 2015, he was a high school tennis coach, where he led his teams to an unprecedented 22 consecutive state championships, a national record in all sports that stands to this day! He's also the host of the televised series Beyond the Lines and the author of three books, including his newest release Superior: Creating a Superior Culture of Excellence.

We're going to be talking about superior performance and how to create a culture steeped in this idea. Everyone knows that I love a good framework - and Rusty's book has FOUR! You're gonna get a lot of really useful gems today, some truly astonishing stories - there are ELEVEN folks (that Rusty knows of) who are still on this earth because of Rusty and his ideas. Plus, Rusty's just a great dude.

This conversation was a BANGER, and I think you're gonna dig it!

2020 was 4 years ago, but if you're like most of us, we're still navigating the challenges of figuring this 'remote employee' thing out. Well, we know someone who's cracked the code on this topic.

We've got the Tricia Shields, CHRO of a company called Naviant on the program today. Who is Tricia, we're gonna share all the Green Bay cheesehead goodness with ya!  

She's full of tips and tricks to get (and keep) people involved, checked-in, and feeling connected. Her company leverages technology to help build and maintain a thriving culture (she's been doing it for years now), and she's gonna lay it out for us today!

This conversation was a ton of fun, and I think you're gonna dig it!

As the philosopher Ice Cube likes to posit, "Today is a good day!"

We've got the coach for coaches, Mark Scherer on the program today. Who is Mark Scherer, we're gonna read you in!  

He's helped hundreds of people navigate the toughest chapters of their lives. He's changed the lives of folks headed for divorce, helped kids with disabilities become high performers, and the rehab industrial complex doesn't want Mark anywhere near their revenue model. 

And he does it at lightspeed! Mark has a system called the Quantum Leap Technique. No, it doesn't involve Scott Bakula, it it's almost as magical.

This conversation was a BANGER, per normal, we covered some heavy ground, and laughed a ton. Prepare to have your mind blown, I think you're gonna dig it!

We're keeping the ball rollin' and cranking out new, awesome TCBs for you as we round the corner into 'the holidays.'

As 'people side of the business' people, we're always looking toward the next disaster. This week I go mano a mano with disaster preparedness expert, Patrick Hardy on the program. If Patrick is new to you, we've got your back!  

When disaster strikes and biz continuity is on the line, Patrick is the guy you want in your corner! He's got just about every FEMA certification you can imagine, he's got a framework to help you get ready, and he's a hoot to hang out with! He's also the author of, Design Any Disaster - The Revolutionary Blueprint to Master Your Next Crisis or Emergency."

Oh, and he's got a YouTube channel where he takes on disaster challenges. You can watch him rescue 230 cats or give CPR for over 20 hours (a world record)! What????

This conversation was a FANTASTIC, we talked some serious shit, and laughed a bunch. You know what I always say, and, yes, I think you're gonna dig it!

We're trying to keep those summer vibes kickin', before it pumpkin spices all over us!

Seasons are patterns, and so are humans, and if we wanna change 'em, we need some new habits. Our guest today has a fantastic tool to help make substantive shifts in you (and your employees' behavior). His name is Oran Cohen, and he's the creator of a tool and founder of a company called GWork. 

Oran has nearly 20 years of experience steering organizations using behavioral science. He's worked with the likes of Google, Deloitte, Nestle, and Unilever. GWork is a powerful tool, and Oran is a helluva guy.

This conversation was a BLAST, and I think you're gonna dig it!

It's summer time and I can't believe it, but 2024 is more than half OVER!!

Kids Today....that's the refrain, and it has been for time immemorial. More seasoned folks have always looked for a talisman or soothsayer to help them figure out the next generation of folks. Well, we've got Hannah MacDonald Dannecker on the program and she's on a mission to bridge the gap between the previous generations, and Gen Z.

She's speaker, consultant, and she runs marketing for the Better Together Group of Companies, oh AND the author of Well Shit - Time to Grow Up.

We've all heard of emotional intelligence, or EQ right? What if i told you that I was from the future and I had a line on the NEXT EQ? Well I'm not from the future, but Scott Mautz might be! 

Who's Scott Mautz and how does he know? Stick around and we'll tell ya. We're talking about the concept of mental strength and what it means to be a Mentally Strong Leader (also the title of Scott's new book). I also appreciate an author bio that includes an insult from a daughter - apparently she doesn't find him "riveting." Whelp, we did!

Mental strength is what's going to take your leadership to the next level. This conversation was a banger, and I think you're gonna dig it!
