What makes a good leader? This is a question Clint is devoted to exploring to discover what it really means to lead with excellence. Something that great leaders have in common is a philosophy of unity and accountability. They understand when it's time to convince versus when it's time to convene and great leaders spend more time bringing their people together, rather than pushing them in a single direction. Tune in to hear more of what sets the best founders and business leaders apart from the rest as we dive into more of their stories from the front lines.1:55 Are we being manipulated?3:05 Contemplating modern existance3:44 What we lack is leadership. 4:13 What do great leaders have in common? 4:50 "If you can't lead yourself, who's to say you can lead others?"5:36 Convince vs. Convene7:57 Treat everyone like they matter.
There's been a lot of talk lately about classified documents. So much so, it begs the question: why does this keep happening? Join Clint Betts as he reflects on why paper is such an integral part of our lives and how something so small can hold much power. There's no doubt that this latest scandal has made leaders everywhere rethink their management (or mismanagement) of important items. Either way, someone needs to have an intervention with these people. 2:28 The thing about classified documents3:08 Where did we go wrong?3:42 The first time7:31 Old vs the young7:53 "Where are the grandchildren?

Surely you've heard the words of Ghandi, "Be the change you wish to see in the world." This quote seems more applicable today than ever before. In a world where the bad is featured on the news far more than the good, isn't it about time for some change? Perhaps we could all benefit from more sincerety, especially when vanity and judgment are the unspoken terms and conditions of every social media app out there. If you're still wondering how you can change yourself for the better this year, try going full sincere - it will be worth it. 1:47 A New Year bring's hope and wonder2:56 Rookie mistake: never go full sincere4:27 People take everything personally5:25 The problem with social media5:40 "We’ve got it backwards.

When Rage Against The Machine was accidentally booked to headline in Clint's hometown, total chaos ensued. As his neighbors hid in fear of the rebellious band, the show of the century went on and Clint heard a song that blew his 11-year-old mind. It was then when he realized something that would forever change his outlook on life. This isn't a story about a Footloose-esque kind of town, but rather, it's an important story of figuring things out for yourself regardless of what others say. At some point or another in our lives, we each (hopefully) learn to form our own opinions based on our stories. 3:00 Fearing the Machine5:04 Omens of destruction5:55 A life changing song6:51 "It was the first time I realized, adult don't know anything.

Who is to blame for the current state of things? When the distrust of the media, the widespread culture of division, and the general sense of bad luck are an everyday occurance, where do we turn for peace of mind? Some say to follow your gut. Many advise to look to other's philosophies like those of leaders. In the end though, love is really all we have left to lean on.0:08 The prices are rising0:29 Distrust in the media0:54 True freedom1:40 "I wonder who we're supposed to listen to.

Have you ever delivered a eulogy? Join Clint as he traces back the steps that brought him to this moment where he delivered a eulogy for someone he was very close to. It's circumstances like these that make us reevaluate how we live our lives and the way we treat others. Perhaps it makes us want to see those we love more often rather than only coming together in times of death and sorrow. Whatever the case, at least these times make us appreciate life more and grant us moments of inner reflection. 0:44 Winter in Montana2:00 "My head's doing everything in its power to avoid my heart."3:27 An unfortunate circumstance for meeting4:30 He's a hero-CEO.com-Further reading: https://www.ceo.com/i-dont-want-to-be-dead/-Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ceonewsletter/message
Clint tells a story about his hero, someone he was very close to, and how they changed his life. Who is your hero. What does it mean to you to be one? When you die, all you leave behind are the imprints you made on those who knew you, so always try to leave things better than you found it. Hopefully we are all someone's hero one day and will be remembered for the good we choose to do now.0:35 Back then, we talked about water1:11 The town loved him1:43 "We were sad every time he left...He only wanted to talk about family, fishing, and who needed help."2:40 His legacy -CEO.com-Further reading: https://www.ceo.com/like-kings-of-old/-Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ceonewsletter/message
I was born in Utah and, God willing, I'll die in Utah. To live in this state, one must have some sort of relationship or view on The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Rumor has it they founded this state. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/clintbettsshow/message
One thing Clint enjoys about the news is the formality. They create an aura of professionalism and seriousness, which somehow makes you forget they’re incapable of either. Don’t we all enjoy a good charade? After all, it counts as entertainment. Telling wild stories and formulating narratives is their bread and butter. The deadly combination of business professional formal wear, an expensive haircut, and a somber look can change the world. 0:40 "A newsman must always look somber and sincere.
