176: Pete Durand - 5 Lessons My Father Taught Without Saying A Word

The highest form of leadership for a man is being a father

There is nothing more powerful and more difficult than the role of father

You can't fire the kids when they don't perform

Performance improvement plans and write ups don't work so well in this setting either

And, what makes it even more difficult is the fact that the mistakes? The bad habits? They are often a reflection of the qualities our kids mimic in us, making them a mirror to our own failings. 

Recently Pete Durand wrote a post on LinkedIn detailing the 5 things his father taught him without ever saying a word.

172: Dave Bennett - Jazz, Rock N Roll and Classic Bodybuilding

A few years ago I had the opportunity to see the great Jerry Lee Lewis in concert. 

As fun as it was, he was pretty old...he could barely make it on stage, let alone jump on the bench while playing the piano

As fate would have it, however my wife and I had season tickets to the Utah Symphony where today's guest was performing a "Jerry Lee Lewis" type tribute

Dave Bennett's show was the exact opposite of Jerry Lee's show

Dave jumped on the bench while pounding on the piano

The energy was infectious!

And, through a photo we posted on social media of Dave doing his thing we got connected

Dave and I found we had a mutual love for jazz, rock and roll and classic bodybuilding

Join me for an engaging conversation with this dynamic performer about his life, his career and how taking control of his health has helped him perform and have more energy at his 40th birthday than ever before!
