Andrew Carnegie was a Scottish-American industrialist, philanthropist, and one of the wealthiest people in history. Carnegie was also a proponent of mastermind groups and played an essential role in influencing Napoleon Hill's thinking on the subject.

Top Talent Is Fungible: You need G.A.S.

Are you looking for industry experience when hiring? If so, I plan to challenge your thinking and hope to change your mind when we finish this time together. A friend of mine named Scott Hardegree introduced me to a concept called G.A.S. regarding the people we hire and retain at work. G.A.S. is an acronym for Gives A S@!t. Scott and I are ex-military, so the language is less offensive. For this intellectual work, I toned things down. We were deep in a conversation when he shared this gem, and the language is too sticky not to share it with you.

Impact Player
Impact Players from Impact Coaches

I watched a documentary about Nolan Ryan last night called Facing Nolan. In case you don't recognize the name. Ryan is the only pitcher in AL/NL history with at least 5,000 strikeouts. He was a right-handed pitcher who consistently threw pitches clocked above 100 miles per hour (161 km/h). He maintained this velocity throughout his pitching career. Ryan was also known to throw a devastating 12–6 curveball at exceptional speed for a breaking ball. Ryan is the all-time leader in no-hitters with seven, three more than any other pitcher. Did you know his career almost did not happen?

Question
Why Self-Silencing?

I fell in love with music at a very young age. My mom said I could repeat song lyrics from the time I was three years old. When I got older, I loved sneaking into her bedroom and playing her record albums. One of my favorites was and still is Simon and Garfunkel Live at Central Park. An iconic song from that album is The Sound of Silence, which was released in 2015 as a haunting cover by the band Disturbed.
