I am blessed to be around remarkable people. There are always Takeaways to learn. That is what I am sharing on this podcast. Takeaways – Life. Lessons. Learned. explores learning from the wisdom of others. I introduced Clyde Horner in Episode 5. He is a Chair with Vistage, the world's largest business advisory and executive coaching organizations. Clyde facilitates 3 executive groups, each of which has about 15 company owners, CEO's, executives, etc. The groups meet once a month. Additionally, Clyde meets with each member one-to-one for 2 hours each month. Between recording and releasing Episode 5 with Clyde something significant happened. Clyde had his 'last' one-to-one with one of his members. He went to have a 2 hour meeting with someone that was at the ending stages of life. When Clyde told me about his 'last' conversation it reminded me of the book Tuesday's with Morrie. I read Tuesday's with Morrie in college. It's a true story where the author, Mitch Albom, sees his old professor being interviewed

Learned. explores learning from the wisdom of others. Clyde Horner is a Chair with Vistage, the world's largest business advisory and executive coaching organizations. Clyde spent most of his professional career as a CPA. These days he spends his time challenging the beliefs of some of the most successful and prominent business owners and executives in Las Vegas. More impressive is that Clyde has been married to his wife Kay for 56 years!!! What is so cool about Clyde, is that he not only works in the self help genre, he lives it! Not many professionals get exposure to any type of development, speakers, consultants, programs, etc. Clyde gets to curate some of the best business speakers (some of them with TED Talks) once a month for his 4 Vistage groups. He gets to hear the speakers (sometimes more than once a month, then he gets to obverse if/how any of h

The Hebrew phrase “L’dor Va’dor” literally means “from generation to generation”. Andrew S. Borans has worked for Alpha Epsilon Pi (the Jewish Fraternity) for nearly four decades. He is largely credited for the organizations growth from 2,000 undergrads to 12,000. Andy started with AEPi September 1980. I was 9 months old! Can you imagine being with the same organization for 38 years? L’dor Va’dor. From generation to generation. Andy has served AEPi as a Field Secretary, Director of Chapter Services, and Executive Director. Starting June 2018, he will become the CEO of the AEPi Foundation and will hawk me for gelt no doubt. Andy was also my very first boss out of college. From 2003 – 2004 I was an Educational & Leadership Consultant for Alpha Epsilon Pi. That year I visited 22 college campuses and drove about 70,000 miles. It was incredible! There is a great story Andy shares in the podcast about my “interview”. The truth is Andy told me for years leading up to the moment the job was mine if I wanted it. An

He promoted to Detective at the youngest possible age. He was the youngest Sargent on the force and is now the youngest Lieutenant.

They get to play with stuff like gunshot detection and facial recognition technology. In every category that he engages, Dori sets out to break the mold, and to defy the odds. What gives someone that type of drive and ambition? What does it mean to be “forward leaning”? Why is commitment to family so important? We talk about all of those Takeaways in this episode. On a personal note, have you ever met someone that m

Rick Myers is the President of Thomas & Mack Development Group – a commercial real estate development company with projects throughout Las Vegas, Nevada. I always envisioned Rick would be my first guest for this podcast. He was the one who taught me to consider “what are you going to say when you get the microphone.” He also taught me about “stature” and how “it matters”… how technical proficiency matters. We revisit those concepts in this episode. What amazed me is how much more I learned from Rick during this conversation. Like, what does Rick mean when he says “dealing from the middle”? And most surprising was how Rick was coached in high school basketball by John Wooden and college football by John McKay!! These are legendary coaches!! There are so many more Takeaways in the Episode. I don’t want to spoil the fun. I hope you enjoy!! In 2009 I was 2 years into a new career as a commercial real estate broker in Las Vegas. The Global Great Recession brought the everyone to their knees. Including me. I

Hello everyone! Welcome to the introduction of Takeaways - the podcast. I also have a blog by the same name. You can find it here. http://www.mdlgroup.com/category/takeaways/ Why am I doing this? Early 2017, I started sharing my Takeaways from the various (business and real estate) events that I attend throughout the year. It has been incredibly fulfilling. I started listening to podcasts in 2016 when Malcom Gladwell released Revisionist History. Then I found Seth Godin's Start Up School. Now I'm a regular - James Altucher is my current favorite. The other catalyst for me leaping in the podcasting world was enrolling in Seth Godin’s altMBA. It’s all about leveling up. Doing. Demonstrating how capable we are in creating. So here goes. I get to attend incredible events as part of my work. There are always Takeaways. I share those on the blog. I am also blessed to be around remarkable people. There too are always Takeaways to learn. That is what I am sharing on: Takeaways – Life. Lessons. Learned. T
