Today’s episode is from when Brian Kurtz and I were interviewed by Mike J. Agugliaro. Mike, the CEO Warrior, is an inspirational coach, mentor, and author. In this talk, we discuss how to steer away from commodity and mediocrity by learning from others. In this episode, we’ll flush out why the CEO Warrior model works and why it propels people towards action. You’ll learn how to get out of being “stuck” and reframe your mindset so you understand why you deserve success. This talk will unearth the difference between a long game and short game - and the difference between a coach and a mentor. Listen in as I break down the concept of creative collaboration, why it’s so undervalued, and why everyone needs masterful thinking partners. 0:00 – 06:00 - On the CEO Warrior event and why the model works06:00 – 10:00 - Steering away from commodity and mediocrity and learning from others10:00 – 18:00 - How to get out of being stuck18:00 – 23:30 - Why the long-game is important in marketing and beyond23:30 – 27:00 - The concept of creative collaboration - and why it’s so undervalued27:00 – 34:00 - The difference between a coach and a mentor; the common stumbling blocks34:00 – 38:00 - The role of an investment advisor and risk manager
