John Brandt tells his inspiration and how she influenced him to connect to her potential [00:47]

Q: Can you remember how exciting how it was as well as scary to take that job?
A: I can!...But what was really important in that part of my life was to make that change, not only that I have to be pushed by somebody else and certainly be mentored, I have to make a decision, I just decided "I'm not really going to be ever, ever work for anyone. [03:34]

The decision I have to make for at that time, "Do I wanna do this?" Then I finally gave myself a gift, and the gift was "Never again do work that I didn't want to do. I would never again spend time just wasting time for a paycheck. I would always try to work I love. And that made a huge difference in my life. People will tell you do this, and do that. [4:58]

Once you give yourself that freedom, once you do things you only love...you of course work harder, you of course work better....everything gets better once you do that. [05:30]

We live in a world basically you're advised to basically get an education for a job, you should do that job, and you have to do that thing for your entire life. And, this is not true. You can do multiple things and you should do things that will make you happy. [06:15]

Well exactly, and all those energy goes into that, you're also not spending your energy worrying what other people think. Or why they're disappointed in you. [7:03]

Q: What is your definition of Nincompoopery?
A: It is not the person itself, not the nincompoop, it's the nincompooper...because there's a larger process that has not been examined by managers there. [8:57]

Q: Can you tell me about an example of a company or leaders of company...
A: We also have to train...not just technical skills but also on collaboration, communication...if you're going to ask employees to make decisions that affect your margins they better understand how you make money. [17:36]

We don't do a better job in this country of teaching people about economics and most company who people who work for them who don't know the difference, don't know how to read an income statement. They don't know the difference between a profit and loss, it's not because they're dumb, but because nobody taught them. [18:02]

Q: What are the different types of nincompooping?
A: Anybody who has ever tried to change in any of the organization knows that nobody is up for change....The first group of people is "Woe-is-all-of-us"..."woe-is-you"..."woe-is-change"... [19:24]

My Quest for the Best Lightning Round [31:18]
I would say the easiest ... is using Bullet Journaling...is a way to bring everything in your personal life and business life into one analog notebook so that nothing gets forgotten, or at least not forgotten for very long. [32:30]
