In this episode, Dean Newlund and Joel Primus discuss:

• The vital role of innovative leadership and intuitive decision-making in personal and professional growth
• The parallels between discipline in athletic endeavors and entrepreneurial success
• The power of joy and love in the entrepreneurial journey, emphasizing process over results
• The significant shift brought by mindfulness in our daily engagement with work and expression of love
• Drawing from personal experiences to underscore the risks and rewards of trusting one’s intuition 

Key Takeaways:

• Innovative leadership draws heavily upon understanding and respecting one’s intuition, much like an athlete’s innate sense for their sport.
• The foundation of entrepreneurial success often mirrors the discipline and structured feedback found in athletic training.
• A joyous approach to our ventures, coupled with an emphasis on the love for the process, improves performance and overall satisfaction.
• Mindfulness in our daily activities fosters an intentional presence, allowing us to make choices that align with our authentic selves rather than habitual patterns.
• Corporate structures and digital influences often challenge personal conviction and authentic decision-making, yet their preservation is crucial to genuine success and peace of mind.

“Maintaining humility and curiosity by assuming you’re wrong can open you up to a world of learning and deeper understanding.” — Joel Primus
