  • Passion, Mindset and Failure w/ Tyler Walter

    It's good to FAIL! It means you're getting closer to success.

    How does someone go from star quarterback, to successful engineer, to a four hour work week and it be the happiest he's ever been? It has to do with following your passions... and my next guest is letting us know the secrets... all the way from Taiwan!

    My guest Tyler Walter is a corporate dropout who followed his passions to life full of travel and greatness. In his own words he says, "You see everyone else thought I was successful but, I felt miserable. Everyone else seemed to be fine signing up for the next 40 years chained to their cubicle but, I was bored to tears. I felt like I was somebody else 40 hours a week and I got to be myself on the weekends where I spent my free time drinking to much and wasting time watching Netflix. I had unhealthy habits and an unhealthy mindset. BUT, I knew I wanted more. I wanted to travel, spend more time with friends, work on something energizing, and live a LIFE BY DESIGN not a life someone else designed for me."

    Tyler gives incredible tips on how important healthy habits are. We discuss how important who you surround yourself with is, as well as his favorite books. Grab a pen and paper, you're gonna need it!

  • Authentic Leadership w/ Dan Owolabi

    Dan has always believed that Authentic Leaders are servants first. That’s why he has made it his mission to help others achieve exceptional results by leading from a mindset of serving.

    Drawing upon his talent for storytelling and his passion for connecting with others, Dan has spent the past 15 years working to empower those around him. For nearly a decade, he served as a public school teacher and pastor in Northeast Ohio. The work, while demanding, was incredibly rewarding—so in 2017, Dan decided to take his passion for developing leaders to a wider audience.

    His immediate success and subsequent speaking invitations eventually led Dan to start The Owolabi Leadership Company dedicated to training and inspiring leaders around the world. By guiding them to build stronger relationships, he has been able to share his fiercely held principle that leadership isn’t a status you get, but a service you give.

    The most effective leaders have learned the secret of Authenticity. They have nothing to hide, nothing to prove and nothing to lose. They know how to battle insecurity and lead with influence by making four key decisions:

    1. Decide to understand yourself
    2. Decide to lead yourself
    3. Decide to understand others
    4. Decide to lead others
