Shane Feldman | Episode #20

Shane is the founder and CEO of COUNT ME IN, a world-renowned social entrepreneurship incubator. What started as a small project in his high school locker, now is made up of 10.2 million people in 104 countries. It has launched more than 30,000 ventures worldwide, contributing to over $2.6 billion to the global economy through service. Shane also does keynote speaking for companies, groups, and organizations.

Community Leadership: Every successful venture in this world is based around community. We must be able to listen to understand, not just to respond. Giving members and those around a sense of ownership in something is critical.

"We can't do everything about everything, but we can do something about something." - Shane Feldman

Patty Hendrickson | Episode #13

Patty is a professional public speaker from La Crosse, Wisconsin. She speaks to companies, organizations, and student officer teams about leadership development.

Energy: Bringing the energy to everything you do is crucial. Patty says to meet people at their energy level. This will allow you to make a better, more meaningful connection.

Public Speaking: It's not about you, but rather your audience. "Connection before content." This means that the relationships you build as a speaker are extremely important. Try to warm up your body before giving a speech on stage. Taking a moment of silence when you are about ready to begin is a great tip.

Team Leadership: Creating a sense of trust and vulnerability on your team is a must. This will allow ideas to flow more smoothly and a more efficient team. Try sitting by the person you know the least at your next meeting or activity. Value the opinions of underclassmen or new members.

Lamarr Womble | Episode #14

Lamarr is a motivational speaker and founder of Passion for Leadership. He primarily works with middle school, high school, and college students from across the country. From leadership to personal development, school culture to passion, Lamarr is driven to empowering the lives of future leaders.

Passion Mindset: This frame of mind is an on-going piece of work. You must be prepared to handle adversity at all times and make the switch when it'd needed. Understanding what you were made to do is key to being an effective leader.

School Culture: The first step is to go on a "listening tour." Take some time to hear what other students, faculty, and teachers have to say about what's taking place within the halls. This will give you the most realistic starting point in regards to your school's culture. From there, you can work to develop certain pillars you would like to emphasize.

Teen Adversity: The pressure and expectations about going to college can negatively consume high school students. Between AP courses, writing essays, filling out scholarships, and standardized testing, it can be a lot to manage. Focus on defining your success and practicing empathy and execution at all times.

Patrick Lencioni | Episode #19

Patrick is the founder and President of The Table Group, author of 11 books that have sold over 6 million copies, and a professional leadership speaker. He has spoken to Google, NFL/NBA Teams, Southwest Airlines, and Chick-fil-A. His work has been featured in Fortune, USA TODAY, and Harvard Business Review. He hosts two podcasts: At The Table and The Simple Reminder.

Humility: Pride is at the root of all problems for us. Many people, especially high schoolers, become masters at pretending to show humility. Just understand that all of these vanity metrics will one day mean absolutely nothing. Learn to accept yourself and celebrate others in their wins. Don't get caught up in the societal comparison trap.

Growing Up: Suffering is a part of growth. It's completely normal to suffer and experience hardships in your teenage years. For Pat, being small and immature was a major struggle. Also, he suffered from severe OCD as a child. Sometimes we need to learn from adults that aren't our parents. Find a mentor and or someone that understands and accepts you for you.

The Ideal Team Player: Humble, Hungry, Smart. Put in the work not because people will praise you, but because you embrace the grind. Learn to understand people (Emotional Intelligence). These 3 areas are huge when applying for a job. Check out Pat's book The Ideal Team Player  to learn more.

Meredith Edwards | Episode #17

Meredith is a model, Mary Kay consultant, and host of the podcast "meredith for real: the curious introvert."

Art of Curiosity: A lot of us, like Meredith, sometimes want to talk your ear off while other times would rather throw some headphones on and be alone. Being curious breaks through any fear or intimidation you may experience. Developing this skill requires intentional listening and empathy.

Traveling More as a Leader: Leaders must travel. Getting to experience different cultures, people, and societies is a life-changing opportunity. Great leaders take every chance they can to go out and explore. Meredith personally loved traveling to Nicaragua.

Teenage Longevity: This is what Meredith said distinguishes great teen leaders from average ones. Many people seem to "peak" in high school and never go on to do anything meaningful. Don't get discouraged if you're not living up to your peers while a teenager. Oftentimes, what they are exhibiting is a false sense of success. Being able to maintain greatness is a much more impressive feat.

Wade Hilligoss | Episode #11

Wade is the Senior Support Manager at Hudl. This is a leading performance analysis company that allows players, coaches, and teams to review film and prepare for their next big game. He graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with a master's and undergrad in broadcasting/journalism/media.

Internships: Being involved and taking every opportunity available is exactly what Wade did in college. These real-world experiences prepared him for his future careers. While in these internships, push yourself and try to learn as much as you can. Understanding the purpose of each opportunity is key (money or growth).

Writing: This skill shows up everywhere in your life, whether you realize it or not. No matter what job you choose to do, writing will elevate your value. Hone in on your storytelling, concise writing, and communication abilities.

Interviewing: Focus on the three areas laid out in the book, "The Ideal Team Player." These are being Humble, Hungry, and Smart (about people). Flip the roles around in the interview to truly understand what someone wants. Beforehand, write out your answers to any and all possible questions. Finally, always have an example to back up what you say.
