EP 253: Living and Leading With Courage with Dave Hollis
Oct 25, 2021Call it a gut feeling or the nagging voice in your head that won’t go away, we’ve all faced dreams and decisions that, for one inexplicable reason or another, are terrifying to face.
However, as my guest in this episode of Spa Marketing Made Easy shares, that’s your purpose calling, and it’s time to answer with courage.
In this episode, I had the honor to talk with Dave Hollis, a New York Times best-selling author, host of the popular Rise Together podcast, a keynote speaker and a life and business coach on GrowthDay, and a dad to four kids. Dave’s history includes CEO of a media start-up, former President of Sales for the film studio at The Walt Disney Company, a talent manager across film, TV, and music, and work in publicity, research, and technology in the entertainment sector.
It goes without saying that he has worn an array of hats, but as you’ll hear in this episode, despite whatever role he’s filling at any given time, he’s found that courage is the key to finding his way to his more purpose-, intention- and impact-filled life and work.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Having a fixed versus growth mindset and how our childhood experiences can pave the way for our adult mindset and decision-making tendencies
- Dave’s journey from shifting his career from a massive corporate world and culture into the entrepreneurial space and how that set off a domino effect of change in perspective
- How courage is the ingredient that brings our greatest purpose to life and moves us toward our vision, even if we’re not entirely sure what that is yet
- Finding team members with intrinsic drive and motivation and how to identify it within potential team members quickly
- Dave’s intention for his new book, “Built Through Courage: Face Your Fears to Live the Life You Were Meant” and his strategic and purpose-led approach to bringing his book into the hands of his ideal readers
