Do you remember the last time you saw yourself doing nothing?

Today, I'm thrilled to welcome the inspiring Michelle Sorro. Michelle is a Spiritual Business Mentor, the Host of the top 1% worldwide podcast on self-development, Fire & Soul, a dear friend, and my coach. From being a successful TV retail host making over $200 million in sales, to launching a super successful podcast, to helping others spread their voice, to a seven-figure master coach, Michelle's journey into becoming who she is today was, with the benefit of hindsight, as she likes to say, perfect.

In early 2021, Michelle took the first steps into a fascinating journey of self-discovery that helped her shed labels and get closer to her soul's purpose. One crucial insight Michelle got from her mesmerizing journey is the importance of mental health hygiene, and that's the main focus of our conversation.

While some leaders' fear is thinking the person behind them wants to take their job, others measure their success based on how well they've prepared their successors. As leaders, we must think it is not about training our replacement, it is about setting the conditions for the person that replaces who's replacing us.

Today, I'm thrilled to welcome a fantastic leader and great friend, Colonel Blake Glass. Colonel Glass has over 28 years of dynamic experience in the most extreme, volatile, ambiguous, and uncertain environments, making calls and leading operations in Iraq and Ukraine.

Tune in and listen to the fifty-ninth episode of Avant-garde Entrepreneur. You'll hear Colonel Glass' thoughts on making decisions in high-pressure situations, what we can do in those moments when we don't know what to do, and the importance of building resilience in our teams. Colonel Glass also shares his unique perspective on leaders' accountability and responsibilities, thinking outside the box when training leaders' replacements, how leaders should handle their emotions, and so much more.

In This Episode, You Will Learn:
