Description
Do you wear a mask in your professional life? Not the mask you wear to protect yourself from COVID, but the kind of mask where you hide your true, authentic self. In today's episode of "The Greatness Machine," Darius chats with Michael Brody-Waite, acclaimed speaker, leadership coach, recovering addict and the author of Great Leaders Live Like Drug Addicts. Michael shares some of his amazing story, one of struggle, inspiration and unapologetic humanity. You'll learn how Michael's journey began, and how he believes that every experience, both good and bad, prepared him for the moment he made the decision to get clean. You'll find out why the idea that we have to hide our humanity (particularly our weaknesses) in the professional world can be an obstacle to becoming a great leader. You'll learn the three principles that addicts in recovery have been using for decades to take control of their lives, and how those principles can be adapted to develop powerful leadership skills. You'll discover how his story led to being invited to create a powerful viral TedTalk... and why it almost didn't happen. You'll also learn why, in the areas of personal and professional development, we're long on inspiration, but short on implementation. Join Darius and Michael for this heartfelt and inspiring discussion on living "mask-free" and thriving in all areas of your life. Enjoy! What You’ll Learn in this Show: Michael's journey from addiction, through recovery and into a new life filled with gratitude, success and continuous learning. How practicing rigorous authenticity and surrendering the outcome became essential components of his road to recovery. Why hiding our true selves in the professional world actually gets in the way of great leadership. The process that led Michael to his viral TedTalk - and how it almost never happened. And so much more...

But then the desire to “do more” kicked in. And back in 1996, Tony founded Speck Design and then Speck Products. Speck Products designed and manufactured cases for laptops and phones. And they were the first manufacturer to bring hard cases to the market.</p><p>Speck rode the early wave of success but then the business got harder. And they plateaued once sales hit $150 million. Reading the market conditions, Tony and his partners sold out to Samsonite – a larger organization that had the resources and the distribution network to continue scaling the business.</p><p>Today, as an Integral Coach, Tony works with individuals and small by The Greatness Machine
