--:-- Hanley: What is up, guys? We have a very unique episode for you today. I had backstage VIP access to an event last week run by my buddy Mick Hunt, which allowed me to spend time with Damon John, Les Brown, Chris Voss, and many others. On the way home, I recorded my biggest takeaways into an Instagram live, and I wanted to share them here on the podcast.

Hanley: The advice given to the audience is different from what's discussed backstage. I want to give you that behind-the-curtain perspective. Huge props to Mick Hunt and his Lead Loud series. The visuals here are less than quality, but I hope you take away the audio and the message. If you enjoy these stream-of-consciousness episodes, follow me on Instagram, where I go live about twice a week.
--:-- [Pause]
Hanley: I talk through major ideas, something that happened in my company Linkora, and break them down live. If you enjoy that format, I'll post versions of it here on the podcast. Love you for being here. With that, I'm out. Again, I apologize for the visuals. If it offends you, scroll down, and you can catch the episode via all the audio podcast platforms as well. All right, I'm out of here. I'll catch you on the flip side. Peace.

Hanley: What is up, guys? I'm driving from Greenville, South Carolina, back to Charleston. Greenville is lovely, with nice people and a beautiful environment. I was there for Mick Hunt's Lead Loud leadership series event. Mick's network is incredible, with speakers like Chris Voss, Nick Nain, Les Brown, Damon John, and more.
--:-- [Pause]
Hanley: The event got me thinking about how we show up in the world. It's important to show up for your friends and the people who matter. Showing up matters more than we give it credit. It's about being there for others, even when it's inconvenient.
--:-- [Pause]
Hanley: Chris Voss taught me about the intentionality of effort. If you want to be good at something, you must be intentional. His philosophy is about working for "noes" instead of "yeses," which is counterintuitive but effective. I built my sales process around his teachings, and it was successful.
--:-- [Pause]
Hanley: Nick Nain emphasized being different rather than better. Different doesn't mean fake; it means being true to who you are. I struggle with this in my podcast, trying to stay within a niche, but I want to explore more topics and be authentic.
--:-- [Pause]
Hanley: Les Brown's talk was phenomenal. He shared his story with such passion that it brought tears to my eyes. It made me reflect on what I was put here to do. I feel most alive on stage, helping others become their best versions.
--:-- [Pause]
Hanley: I love helping people achieve their success. Whether it's coaching leaders or helping someone with a business issue, seeing the positive impact makes me fulfilled. I want to focus more on this in the second half of my career.
--:-- [Pause]
Hanley: Showing up for people is crucial. It's about being there for your spouse, kids, or friends. The universe rewards those who show up. I'll try to be that person more often.
--:-- [Pause]
Hanley: If you have any questions or need help, DM me. I appreciate you guys. Hopefully, you found some value in this. I'm listening to Sean Ryan and AJ Gentile's Y Files podcast now. Since we're moving slow, I'll let you go. Love you, I'm outta here. Peace.
