Caged Vision Podcast

"There is no limit to what a man can do or where he can go if he doesn't mind who gets the credit." This is from the plaque that sat on Ronald Reagan's desk during his presidency. Could it be that President Reagan was actually a member of a Secret Society?

How to prioritize what matters when expectations when all eyes are on you.

"I was in my car, leaving for New York when I had this feeling…I need to be home with my wife and baby girl."

Earlier that morning, AC Evans was spending a little time with his daughter before going to accept the most prominent award he'd ever received.

After his daughter literally threw up in his face, AC washed up, suited up, and was off to the airport.

Sitting in his car, AC had a moment that caused him to pause.

No award, no acknowledgment, no accolade, was more significant than his moment to let his wife and daughter know they were a priority.

AC got out of the car, put on his PJs, and spent the day with his family.

This story is just one of many great examples AC Evans provides for leadership, priorities, focus, culture, and making moments count.

AC is this week's guest on the Caged Vision Podcast.

Well, you're in luck! Today I have an AI guru who has lead manufacturing, financial services, and higher education in their most pressing AI initiatives.

How to be an INFLUENCER that matters.

Are you a Go-Getter? Most of you might instinctively respond with an immediate and resounding YES!

…But what about a GO-GIVER INFLUENCER? 

Today, my guest Bob Burg, co-author of The Go-Giver series, talks Influence on the Caged Vision Podcast. We had an amazing conversation filled with the wisdom Bob is known for. Below are a few takeaways:

"We can all have a vision. It's holding on to that vision…having a vision is the easy part, it's holding that vision is often the difficult part, especially when things do go as we want them to go."

"Influence on a basic level is the ability to move a person or persons to a desired action & within the context of a specific goal. That's the definition, but by no means is it the substance or the essence of Influence."

"The essence of influence is PULL."

"A great influencer asks themselves questions to make sure they're facing the right direction. For example: How does what I'm asking of this person align with THEIR goals, THEIR needs?"

"Leadership can come from anywhere in an organization, but for it to be a culture, it's got to come from the top."
