    Episode 259 - Zachary Green - Courage of the Warrior Mindset

    I had looked forward to this episode and my conversation with Zachary Green, and I was not disappointed. Zachary Green is US Marine veteran, a former firefighter, and a successful entrepreneur. Zachary founded his first company out of the trunk of his car and scaled it to over $30 million. He was recognized as the Ohio Chamber Entrepreneur of the Year and a White House-selected delegate to the Global Entrepreneurship Conference. Zachary is also an internationally best-selling author. His book Warrior Entrepreneur - Lessons from the Battlefield to the Boardroom is compelling. The book covers his deployment in the Marines and his work as a firefighter. Zachary also shares his near-death experience from complications due to COVID. It details his invention, Foxfire®, which illuminates firefighting equipment, jackets, and helmets, making them visible in dangerous, smoke-filled environments, and Lumaware (https://lumawaresafety.com/), for commercial safety applications. In this episode, we talk about the warrior mindset and "grit" which is Zachary's term for the indomitable spirit, never giving up, never giving in. It's the drive that kept him alive, kept him running into burning buildings, and pulled him through his darkest hours. You can learn more about Zachary on his website: https://www.zacharylgreen.com/. To find out more about Warrior Enterprises, check out the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/WarriorEnterprisesLLC/. You can also connect with Zachary on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zacharylgreen/. Finally, you can call or send a text to Zachary at 513-235-6383. I highly recommend his book Warrior Entrepreneur, available at Amazon, and anywhere great books are sold. ******************************************** Want to learn how to attract, hire, and retain top-tier employees?

    Episode 256 - Greg Bennick - Courage to Ask "What If..."

    This was one of my most enjoyable interviews. Greg Bennick is nothing short of amazing. He's an author, filmmaker, producer, singer/songwriter, philanthropist, non-founder and co-founder, and an extraordinary juggler. Greg is a TEDx speaker, speaking coach, and influencer who is devoted to transforming the world by inspiring personal and social change. I'm not sure where Greg finds the energy, but it all starts with his philosophy: What if...? Asking "What if...?" opens up doorways that for most seem closed and remote. Imagine what your life could be like if you had an idea that could potentially change the world and simply asked "What if...?" Greg is an engaging storyteller and you'll appreciate his sense of humor and infectious spirit. I hope you enjoy this episode and much as I did. You can connect with Greg on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregbennick/ or on his personal website: https://gregbennick.com. His new book - Reclaim the Moment: Seven Strategies to Build a Better Now - is available on Amazon and other national booksellers. ******************************************** Want to learn how to attract, hire, and retain top-tier employees?
