[LL]: Mindset #3: You are already enough

Hey Leader 🙌 Let me take you back for a second… I was 21, sitting on that couch, a Taco Bell bag next to me, staring at my reflection in a blank TV screen. I didn’t feel like a leader. Didn’t feel confident. Didn’t feel… enough. Meanwhile, my roommate Adam was everything I thought I […]

[LL]: Mindset #2: People Want You to Win

Hey Leader 🙌 I want to give you a simple but powerful leadership shift this week. And it starts with this belief: People want you to win. Let that sink in. Because most leaders walk into conversations thinking the opposite. They feel judged. Evaluated. On edge. Candidly, that used to be me.  But here’s the […]

[LL]: Mindset #1: The Foundation of Influence

Hey Leader 🙌 Over the next few weeks, I am breaking down six charismatic leadership mindsets inspired by Charlie Hooper of Charisma on Command. Why?

[LL]: Fundamentals Win

Hey Leader 🙌 A few weeks ago, at our Mastermind retreat in Fort Lauderdale, my friend and rockstar Fit Body owner Uriel shared a presentation that stuck with me. He walked through the performance difference between his first and second locations, which landed differently than anticipated.  Naturally, everyone expected some advanced strategy or cutting-edge tactic […]

[LL]: The Reps Behind the Flag 🇧🇷

Hey Leader 🙌 I’m still glowing from the Winter Olympics and here with an inspirational story and lesson.  History was made when Lucas Pinheiro Braathen became Brazil’s first Winter Olympic medalist, also the first Winter Games medal for South America. He skis down hill alpine at violent speeds, where one mistake ends the run. Born […]

[LL]: Study Human Nature or Be Ruled By It

Hey Leader 🙌 We just wrapped our first Mastermind Workshop of the year in Fort Lauderdale, and it was a massive success. Well… minus a handful of our rockstar owners who got snowed in. Leadership lesson #1: You can’t control the weather, but you can control your response. Here’s the bigger takeaway. Barrett, my Executive […]

[LL]: Offense Wins Games. Defense Wins Championships. 🥇🇺🇸

  Hey Leader 🙌 First, respect where it’s due. Both the USA men’s and women’s hockey teams brought home gold. 🥇 The women dominated with precision and poise.  The men battled Canada into overtime and finished the job. But here’s the leadership lesson most will miss. Yes, offense scored. Defense sealed it. Goalie Connor Hellebuyck […]

[LL]: If You Talk to Everyone, You Talk to No One

Hey Leader 🙌 Early in my career, I’d send group emails looking for someone to take action, but that started with: “Hey team…Can you execute?” Inclusive.  Efficient. And completely ineffective. Why? Because when you talk to everyone, you talk to no one. In marketing, we call it an avatar.  If your message is for “people,” […]

[LL]: It’s ALL Your Responsibility

Hey Leader 🙌 This week’s leadership lesson? Extreme ownership. Everything is your responsibility. Even when it’s not your fault. I drove this home at the 10X Intensive Workshop I taught with Bedros Keuilian and Jay Redman last Saturday.  A room full of ambitious entrepreneurs, 2 of whom want to own a FitBody.  Hungry.  Locked in. […]
