Episode 10 - How to Self Lead By Example with Todd Herman
Episode 10 - How to Self Lead By Example with Todd Herman Welcome to Building a Bigger Table The podcast for misfits, mavericks and magic makers who want to create a profitable, sustainable business that makes as much impact as it does income. In This Episode: I’m very excited to welcome Todd Herman to the Building a Bigger Table Podcast for episode 10. He helps elite performers - whether they’re entrepreneurs, entertainers, athletes or public figures - achieve their most ambitious goals by becoming more resilient, creative, confident and courageous. Originally from Alberta, Canada, Todd grew up on a farm as a shy, insecure and dyslexic young boy. It’s safe to say he’s not your typical high performance coach, but he’s living proof that you can absolutely create your own destiny and achieve things that seem outside of the realm of possibility. That’s exactly why he’s so real, relatable, and damn good at what he does. In this episode we cover Todd’s inspirational story from the low points to the high, and he shares what he’s learnt along the way. He reveals what differentiates high performers from ordinary folk, and the level of commitment you have to put in if you want to truly make it at something, so if you’ve got big dreams - listen up! Then we dive deep into what Building a Bigger Table means on an individual level as opposed to systemic one. We address the risks we take and rewards we make as business owners or people in the public eye when we choose to speak up on controversial issues … and we debunk the performative allyship and call out culture we see today on social media. If you’re striving to be a better leader from the inside out … then this episode’s for you! Key Takeaways: The importance of self leadership The unspoken risk all entrepreneurs take The damage of digital trauma and trolling Why echo chambers are unproductive Quotes: ”It's the one thing that unfortunately, I think a lot of society has lost right now where people are out there judging so fast so quickly. [...] There's just a real lack of kindness and integrity.” “There is this performative allyship that you were just talking about. There's this performative nature that people are out puffing their chest on social media.” “A system is always built up by what individuals. Individuals make up a system. And so if you want to change a system of something that you perceive to be there, then the individuals have to change.” Meet Your Host: Hi, I’m Shaa.
