Thinking Beyond: Conversations with Strategic Thinkers with Dr. David Flint

LinkedIn Influencer and Inc. contributor Jeff Haden joins David on the podcast to talk about his book, "The Motivation Myth." Jeff had a goal to become a writer and worked his way from literally zero writing experience to being the only non-CEO, non-academic sitting on the list of LinkedIn Influencers alongside Bill Gates and Richard Branson. He achieved his goal by setting out a strategy to get there and then diligently working his plan. Jeff's story is compelling and his advice is practical, helping people figure out how they can enable their ability to create value in this world.  To learn more about Jeff, visit his website at JeffHaden.com. https://archive.org/download/JeffHadenPodcast/Jeff%20podcast.mp3

Brandi Plunkett joins me on the podcast to talk about the  entrepreneurial strategy she's developing for her organization which  operates inside one of the largest university's in the nation. An  entrepreneurial mindset and approach is often appropriate, even in large  corporate environments but thinking and functioning as an entrepreneur  when surrounded by long-standing organizational culture can be both  advantageous and limiting. As director of the Center for Executive  Development at Mays Business School at Texas A&M University, Brandi  shares insights and lessons learned, all through the lens of the V-REEL  Framework. https://archive.org/download/BrandiPodcast/Brandi%20podcast.mp3
