My guest is Ryan Hawk.  Even though it sounds like the name of a superhero’s alter ego… Ryan is actually known as an advisor to Fortune 500 companies, a keynote speaker, and the host of The Learning Leader Show… which is a top-rated podcast with millions of listeners.  He’s interviewed people like ‘Good to Great’ author, Jim Collins, Mythbusters’ Adam Savage and storytelling master and DREAM THINK DO friend… Kindra Hall.  Ryan is also the author of the new book, ‘Welcome To Management: How To Grow From Top Performer To Excellent Leader.’     Listen To The Podcast:     Ryan Hawk RESOURCES: Ryan’s new book, Welcome To Management: How To Grow From Top Performer To Excellent Leader. Ryan’s website: www.LearningLeader.com   MORE OF THE STORY: Ryan Hawk is a lifelong student of leadership, and he’s been able to experiment with that knowledge as a professional quarterback, and VP of Sales at a multibillion-dollar company. Now he works with teams from Fortune 500 companies… teams and players in the NFL, NBA, and NCAA, as well as he, facilitates “Leadership Circles” that offer structured guidance and collaborative feedback to new and experienced leaders around the country. Okay… so on DREAM THINK DO, we talk about concepts that help people to dream bigger, think better, and do more of what they were put on the planet to do. That means we have incredible people who are moving and shaking and making a difference.  What that also means is that we’ve got a lot of rock stars who aspire to move up within their organizations, take on leadership roles, and have even more impact. BUT…  often when top performers are promoted to management-level positions―they find the tactics and strategies that got them promoted are not the tactics and strategies that will make them effective in their new role.  So in this episode, we talk about the 3 keys to moving from a top performer to an Indispensable Leader.    We’d love to hear from you!  Leave a comment and let us know which strategy, story or concept stood out to you!    Quick Episode Summary: 0:02 What to expect today! 2:22 Meet Ryan Hawk 4:55 Why Ryan started his podcast 8:00 Why you should pursue curiosity 8:55 Why you need Ryan’s new book 12:33 Why you need to be exceptional 18:29 The role of a manager 22:47 Creating your own personal advisors 26:12 Become a leader you want to follow 27:49 How to connect with Ryan 28:11 Wisdom of the week 30:55 Mitch's biggest takeaways   Listen to Mitch Mattews Top Podcast here

My guest is Erin Rollenhagen.  Erin is the CEO of Entrepreneurial Technologies and author of the new book, “Soul Uprising.” Erin made a name for herself at 14 when she gained national media attention as she led a protest at her middle school.  And she’s been living by a different set of rules ever since! She carried that rebel spirit into her career, founding her company on the premise that tech doesn’t have to be cold and heartless.  Plus, in her new book, Erin encourages her fellow entrepreneurs and business leaders to trust their purpose and embrace impact as the true measure of success. We talk about what it means to be STRONG and AUTHENTIC in a world that is pushing back on both!     Listen To The Podcast:     RESOURCES: ERIN’S BOOK: “Soul Uprising” ERIN’S WEBSITE: erinrollenhagen.com   MORE OF THE STORY: Founding and building a successful tech business isn’t easy. It’s especially difficult when you launch in the late 2000s on the cusp of one of the most destructive recessions in U.S. history!  Not to mention, also getting diagnosed with an incurable degenerative disease! Plus, you can also throw in not looking like how a tech entrepreneur is ‘supposed’ to look.  But Erin Rollenhagen has always defied the odds and established her own set of rules.  In fact, she went against the grain and at age 14, led a protest against misogynistic behavior at her middle school and drew national media attention (and almost got kicked out of middle school too!)  Erin carried that “fist in the air” stand up for what you believe in spirit into her career as a tech entrepreneur, by founding a company on the belief that technology doesn’t have to be heartless and cold.    Recently, she released her book, “Soul Uprising: It’s Never Just Business,” which encourages business leaders and entrepreneurs to trust their purpose and embrace impact as the true measure of success. We talk about what it means to be STRONG and AUTHENTIC!   Leave a comment and let us know what stood out to you from the interview!   Quick Episode Summary: 0:02 What to expect today! 1:30 Meet Erin 2:41 Why Erin held a protest in middle school 5:59 When Erin started her business 10:43 Strategies for being strong and authentic 16:47 Avoiding emotional pricing 20:57 Do you have faith in your purpose? 21:30 Purpose vs. plans 22:30 How to find what you love doing 26:10 How to connect with Erin 26:37 Wisdom of the week 27:16 Mitch’s biggest takeaways   Listen to Mitch Mattews Top Podcast here

My guest this week is Tim Campos.  While Tim was Chief Information Officer of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg called him into his office and challenged him to fix things and make Facebook more productive.  Tim took that challenge and doubled their overall productivity in a year - making it one of the most productive companies in the world. Not surprisingly… the biggest shifts all had to do with how people were using their calendars.  We dig into the specific strategies so you can make 2020 your most focused and productive year yet!   Listen To The Podcast:   RESOURCES: TIM’S COMPANY: Woven.com    MORE OF THE STORY: Here's a question:  Did you ever have a sense that something was killing your productivity?   Maybe… you get to the end of a long day… you worked hard… you’re exhausted… but you look back and you’re not sure what the heck you got done? Or maybe you’re listening to this particular episode while you’re driving to work… and your brain is already buzzing and you’re tempted to feel overwhelmed… almost like you’ve got a bunch of monkeys jumping around in your head.  (Maybe that’s just me. LOL!) Well… today, we’re going to be talking with the man who helped the employees of Facebook to double their productivity. He did it in a surprising way. Mainly… he went after their calendars.  Wild right? Well… that’s why we’re calling this episode “Why calendars are killing your productivity.”  I think you’re going to dig it.   By the way, Tim is now the CEO of Woven.com, which is an intelligent calendar for busy professionals. His personal motto is “Take the work out of work.”  He’s used that motto and approach to life to help a lot of people and a lot of organizations. As CEO of Woven, Tim's taking the lessons he’s learned to reimagine how people use their calendar, so they can spend time on what matters most to them. Since it’s early 2020… and we’re wanting to help you make 2020 your best and most productive year yet… I wanted to have Tim on to talk about specific strategies to help you take your own productivity to the next level! Comment below and let us know which strategy stood out to you.  Plus, I would love to hear from you on what’s working best for you.  Share your best PRODUCTIVITY tip and/or your favorite hack for beating the calendar and getting things done!     Quick Episode Summary: 0:02 What to expect today! 1:21 Meet Tim 2:49 How your calendar is ruining your productivity 4:28 Our most valuable asset 6:50 Making appointments with yourself 9:35 You will become what you spend time on 11:50 How to make your calendar smarter 16:49 No meetings Wednesday 18:47 How long the average meeting is 21:40 How to connect with Tim 22:02 Wisdom of the week 23:25 Mitch's biggest takeaways 34:14 Mitch's final thoughts   Listen to Mitch Mattews Top Podcast here
