Change Doesn't Need a Date on the Calendar | Between The Builds

I was able to attend and actually my wife and I hosted a meeting for our YPO chapter a couple weeks ago.

I had the honor of interviewing and doing a fireside chat with Jason Garrett, who is the Former head football coach of the Dallas Cowboys.

He was the backup quarterback to Troy Aikman for three Super Bowl rings.

He's now on NBC's NFL network and just a super guy, man.

I got a chance to spend some time with him after the fact and just kind of get to know him.

a lot better, and a couple things that just stood out to me for a high impact leader like himself that has done a significant amount in his life is just the way that he carries himself.

He always has a smile on his face.

Even when he has a level of intensity explaining a point, he still has a smile on his face.

And so I identified with that because it was like this inspirational leadership.

It just oozed out of him as somebody that you would want to follow and to be around.

He was smart.

He was very, um, to the point he had his talk track down.

You could, you could tell that he, he like, he knew what he was trying to say and he had said it a bunch of times and he believed in what he was saying.

And so it was a really cool experience.

But yet every time he did that, he did this with a smile on his face and it was so cool.

He would look at me and he would make a point and he'd smile.

at me at the end.

And it was so neat.

So it's been funny.

I've been watching him on some of the NFL games recently and have been seeing him.

He does the exact same thing on stage.

So Jason, I'm going to try and get you on the podcast coming up because I really enjoyed our conversation.

But one of the things that he was talking about was leadership.

He said, you know, the first word in leadership is to lead.

And we had this conversation about what does it mean to lead? And where he kept coming back to was painting this vision.
