The Dov Barron Show

We all know the world has changed dramatically in the 21st century. The opportunities that defined past generations and steered their course through life aren't out there for us anymore. You and I were told we've got to go to college and get a degree if we want a chance at having a good job. But is that still true? Did you know that today, 54% of college graduates regret investing in a degree? Over 70% of Americans detest their jobs, hence the Great Resignation. Yet, 2 out of 3 Americans will never be able to stop working and retire.

Maybe we need to ask ourselves some hard questions, like, are we feeding into a broken system? If so, what can we do about it for ourselves and our children?

Stay tuned because that's where we are going on the next two episodes. Our guest is Jeff Lerner. I don't know if you remember the early 2000's boom, then came 2008 and the Global Economy went into recession. In November of that year, during "the Great Recession," our guest, Jeff Lerner, like many entrepreneurs and leaders, found himself at rock bottom. A former professional piano player, Jeff found himself nursing an injured wrist. Then to make matters worse, his landlord evicted him from his apartment. Could it get worse? Oh yeah! His wife was divorcing him. Jeff struggled with depression and the cherry on top was that he owed creditors almost half a million dollars from a failed restaurant venture.

Today, Jeff is a 3x INC5000 CEO with over $100 million in sales to his name. He is also happily remarried with four beautiful children and physically in the best shape of his life. In 2019, a decade after turning his own life around, he founded ENTRE Institute, the world's first institute of higher learning for entrepreneurs, which is now one of the fastest-growing education-technology companies in the world.

He is also the host of the Unlock Your Potential podcast. Jeff is also the author of the same name, Unlock Your Potential: The Ultimate Guide for Creating Your Dream Life in the Modern World.

Difficult conversations are the mainstay of leadership and any and every relationship. Sometimes you have to communicate with someone less powerful than you. Sometimes it's a peer and oftentimes you will need to communicate up the power ladder. You and I both know it takes two people to engage in healthy dialog, particularly if we want meaningful outcomes. But is that possible in what can feel like a potentially volatile situation? Is there a way to genuinely Manage Difficult Conversations, especially when you might be on a lower rung of a power hierarchy?

Separating Black Swans from Black Elephants!

Problems today are more complex and more multi-faceted than ever before.

In order to just make it through the next few years, you and I already need problem-solving skills that are likely far beyond what we’ve been applying. Problem-solving demands a level of thinking that is far beyond black and white solutions. There is context, complexity, nuance, and agility required. But how can you step into that level of leadership? The answer is, we must learn to think about thinking.



Let’s find out how. Our guest for the next two episodes is (ret) Commander David Sears who served 20 years of active military duty within the United States Special Operations Command as a U.S. Navy SEAL officer. David served on multiple east coast SEAL Teams, Naval Special Warfare Development Group, Joint Commands, and Headquarters USSOCOM. Today, David is a leadership speaker, the Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Xundis Global, an independent consultant, and the author of Smarter Not Harder: 17 Navy SEAL Maxims to Elevate Critical Thinking and Prosper in Business and Life.
