Steve Sims is known as The Real Life Wizard of Oz. Entrepreneur, Speaker, and Author of “Bluefishing: The Art of Making Things Happen.” Steve became widely known – a secret turned open secret – as the guy to call to make impossible magic happen. 

Steve now focuses on helping Entrepreneurs build and leverage their relationships – just as he did – for maximum impact. Steve also founded and leads his concierge firm, SDSims, which focuses on branding, development, and marketing based on his experience of becoming known as the go-to person to create one-of-a-kind, never happened before and may never happen again, experiences for some of the most wealthy, classy, and private people.

On Insight Sunday, Steve shares the mindset changes he made that moved him from construction worker to founder of the world’s leading concierge firm creating once-in-a-lifetime experiences for corporate execs, celebrities, professional athletes, and private clients – including Sir Elton John, Richard Branson, and Elon Musk. We also talk about learning to ask the right questions to get the answers you need and the role of emotions – such as aggravation and curiosity – in his success and in successful entrepreneurship.

ABOUT THE PODCAST

You were built for speed.
But right now you feel slower than you look on paper.
Most founders try to outwork that slow-down.
It only burns them out.
Your mind is the only machine your company doesn’t upgrade.
So leaders keep pushing against the wrong thing.
Hosted by doctor of psychology and executive coach Dr Yishai Barkhordari.

This week on The Business Couch with Dr. Yishai, I had Janice Lintz, trailblazing advocate, consultant, and Founder and CEO of Hearing Access & Innovations, the leading company with the mission of increasing accessibility for people with hearing loss. 

Our Story Tuesday conversation was so packed and full of value that I just had to share it with you in two parts! 

In part 1, Episode 184 Janice shares lessons she learned about following through as a key to success and systems that allow her to easily shelf and pick-up projects so she can make headway on multiple projects at once. 

In part 2, Episode 185, Janice continues sharing principles for success, including what to do when a project or initiative hits a roadblock or gets stuck. We round out our conversation with her insightful answers for the Couch Round questions! On Insight Sunday,

If you haven’t yet, go back and listen to episodes 184 and 185 to learn from a passionate, social justice driven entrepreneur and thought leader whose mission is backed by her accomplishments as a consultant and advocate across multiple sectors, including technology, innovation, advocacy, government and politics. 

At the end of our conversation, Janice asked a very important question: Why do people NOT make change even when they KNOW it is better? Why do people get stuck in entrenched mindsets and become obstinate or resistant to change?  

So today, I’m covering the psychology underpinning resistance to change and some tips and tactics to deal with it.

This week on The Business Couch with Dr. Yishai, I had Jeff Wald, seasoned Entrepreneur, Best Selling Author of “The End of Jobs: The Rise of On-Demand Workers and Agile Corporations,” a Keynote Speaker, Angel Investor, Startup Advisor, and board member for multiple companies.

On Insight Sunday, Episode 178, Jeff shares his expertise and mindset on the changing nature of the workforce and how leadership can adapt. He talks about the causes and consequences of the “Tech-celeration” during the pandemic, being data-driven, and the end of “jobs” as we know them, plus how companies can be agile and tap into the most highly skilled and high-performing talent.

On Story Tuesday, Episode 179, Jeff shares his experiences and lessons about entrepreneurship, failure, and how entrepreneurs tie their identities into their businesses – for better or worse.

If you haven’t yet, go back and listen to episodes 178 and 179 to learn from a seasoned and successful entrepreneur with his finger on the pulse of the future of work and business. 

At the end of our conversation, Jeff asked me how he can lead and teach his team to embrace making mistakes, to learn how they are different from failure, and to develop their willingness to plow forward knowing they will make mistakes and that it is okay. 

So today, I am talking all about how to teach and train your team to embrace making mistakes.
