TEA 277: The Leadership Skill Nobody Teaches (ft. Dr. Mark Matthews)

So a few months ago, I started working with Dr.

Mark Matthews, who I actually have here with me right now.

And I wanna be really honest with everybody that's gonna listen in on this podcast.

Mark knows it more than anybody, but when we first met, before I started work- working with you, 'cause we've been working together for about three, three, four months now, something like that, somewhere in there, and no signs of stopping, and we meet every single week.

And I remember the first time we met, I actually didn't...

I almost didn't do it.

I, yeah, I re- remember talking to you, and I was like...

I said, "Dude, my life is good.

Our business is good.

I've never felt better in a place in my life right now.

Why do I need to work with, like, a high-performance coach like you to help take me to this next level?" And you're, and you're like, "You have to trust, like, th- there's a...

Do you believe there's a new level to unlock?" And I said, "Yes, but I don't know what it looks like." And you're like, "That's what I'm gonna help you unlock." And here we are many months later, and so many good things have happened in our sessions that I didn't expect.

And I started showing up a lot differently in my relationship with Kelsey and my family and the people around me, in my team, and honestly, my eyes have just, like, opened to a world I didn't understand and I never saw because I was so in the, in our business and in life that I, I didn't have this perspective that helped my eyes widen to really see things differently.

And I'm really excited about this, and it's so hard to ex- explain to anybody listening or watching right now because it's like, "What is he talking about? Is this some, like, woo-woo stuff?" It's not.

It's literally just the way that I start to see the world has changed a lot since I've worked with you, Mark.

And, and people feel it around me.

I've h- I've heard that.

Like, people are telling me that I'm, like, different in a positive way.

And, and, and every time we get together, I get to ask you a lot of questions, and you have always exuded this to me, like, your ability to be present in the moment with people and your abil- your leadership capabilities, and there's something about you, Mark, that I'm like, "Man, I just want that." And let me tell you this.

I eventually asked Mark, and, and he explained a leadership skill that I think that nobody teaches.

And af- of all our sessions, we've had a lot of sessions together every week for months now, and the one that I want to talk to you about today has been probably the most impactful of everything, and it is something that I think everybody here listening or watching is gonna benefit from for the, the nature of it will help them become a better leader in their home and their business, and really w- anywhere they go that they're interacting with human beings, they will be better.

But before we dive into that, man, thanks for coming back on.
