00. Welcome to Leadership in a Nutshell: Cracking the Code of the Driven Mind

Hey, my friend. Welcome, welcome, welcome to Leadership in a nutshell where we are cracking the code of the driven mind. I am your host, Kenny Chapman, and today is our introductory episode where I'm going to give you a little snapshot of what to expect with this podcast as we rock and roll and share some energy, share some strategies and help each other get getting through this amazing game we've decided to play involving leadership. So you might be going, what, Kenny? Another podcast? What? Really? No, I want you to stop you right there. And let's be really clear. Yes, there are a ton of podcasts out there. However, there's not anything just like this where I'm going to take small snippets and I'm going to come to you raw. I'm going to come to you real, in short, digestible chunks. We're going to average 10, 12, 15 minutes an episode where I'm just going deep, where, you know, here's what I know. You, you want to be the best leader that you possibly can, but you don't have a ton of extra time and your driven mind is always thinking about the next thing. Right? Do you know I'm right? Give me a little. Uh huh. Yeah. Okay. He's seeing where we're at right now. Trust me, I get it. That's exactly why I've created this podcast in this format so we can just chunk it down, take some bite sized pieces, take 10 minutes out, you know, help you get, and most importantly, stay excited about leaders. It can be a grind, it can be a struggle, it can be a challenge. And so that's why I've created it, that's why we're doing the format that we have here today. More on that in just a moment. But just, you know, who am I? As I mentioned, I'm Kenny Chapman. Yes. I'm an author, I'm a speaker, I'm a coach, a consultant, a business junkie, a transformation expert, a breakthrough strategist, all those types of things. Longtime entrepreneur, short attention span, the monkey brain. Yes. That's not important to you. However, what is important to you is that I began my entrepreneurial journey in 1994 when I bought my first business and I became a leader the day I hired my very first team member. And since that time, I've owned multiple companies, multiple industries, all kinds of different things that I've learned and I've devoted my life to studying, to understanding, to applying personal development methods, leadership techniques, breakthrough strategies, eliminating limiting beliefs, all the different things that are in our way, if you will. You know, my friend Les Brown taught me that sometimes we need to just take a step into our greatness. And that's what I want us to do together here on this podcast. So here's my goal for you. Use this podcast as a break from the insanity, if you will. You know, it's all the chaos going on. Just take a moment, step out, use this for some motivation. A shot in the arm, if you will. Whether it's first thing in the morning, whether it's lunch break, maybe it's in the car, It's a quick 10 minute break walking around your office, getting out to use it to recenter to shift your perspective and focus, getting to understand and realize there are other leaders just like you. You are not alone. My that's why I've created this in this bite sized chunk to where we can take a moment, take a timeout if you will, and just go, hey, let's chat about this. Driven mind, influence, impact, leadership skills, relationships, health, self care, challenge, issues, strategy, whatever that is. Anything and everything that improves your life situation as a leader will be raw. We'll be real. And I'm going to come to you straight from the heart because that's the only way I know how to do it. I'm authentic in everything I do and I'll do my best to keep you engaged and just give you a few nuggets each and every time we're together. So I'm going to want some engagement from you in between our episodes so we can keep on, you know, keeping this together as we take this journey together. I'll give you some action items, I'll give you some homework, I'll ask you to reach out on certain things and what we're doing here, we're launching with a few episodes as you see here, and then we'll be dropping an episode once a week. So it's not too much, gives you a little time to implement the strategy. It's only short moments of content, but there's some big lifting that needs to be done based on the content that I'm going to be sharing with you and dropping. So certainly I may do some interviews where I, you know, add some episodes and drop some additional things. But you can plan on every single week. We will dropping be dropping new content, new valuable information for you to improve your situation. So if you like what you're hearing so far, do us a favor, go ahead and subscribe so we can stay connected. You don't miss any of these episodes and I am super excited. Don't wait any longer. Step into your greatness and jump ahead. Meet me in episode number one where we're going to dive into managing the driven mind again. This is leadership in a nutshell, where we're cracking the code of the driven mind. And I'm your host, Kenny Chapman. Thanks for joining me. My.
