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.

Travis Chappel | Episode #18

Travis is an international speaker, founder and CEO of Guestio, and the host of two awesome podcasts: Build Your Network and World Class. Travis grew up in southern California where religion dominated his entire childhood. After graduating from college, he decided to pursue a passion in podcasting where he would go on to create a Top 25 Business Podcast.

Speaking: Your level of pay in life is directly related to the skillset you have that not a lot of people do. If you're able to overcome the initial terror of public speaking your career and success will be exponentially greater. Travis spoke to a church crowd of 1500-2000 people at the age of 15 years old. He also recommends getting as many experiences as possible, such as Toastmasters.

Career Switch: The sooner you can come to the realization of what you want to do, the better. Parents are often responsible for instilling values in us about where to go to college and what to become. The fear of letting them down often limits our ambitions. Making a major decision or shift in life comes with many feelings; both good and bad. Just remember: you're the only person who has to be you! Start gaining experiences and trying new things.

Content: Step 1: Consume as much content as you can. Your input becomes your output. Step 2: document everything you do. Step 3: get great guests in order to bump up your quality. You must be able to add value to the lives of others.

Networking: "Network Ned" is the ultimate bad networker. This person has tons of business cards, is constantly pitching their elevator speech, and is more transactional than anything. The other type of networker is the person who is so turned off by "Network Ned" that they don't try at all. There is a happy middle where relationships and friendships are at the core of the conversation.

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.

Social Dilemma: A recent documentary about the power of Social Media. This directly pertains to teens and how society currently functions. To combat this, Shane offers some tips about "Architecting Your Day."

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