TMBA 681: Our Take On The Parable Of The Mexican Fisherman And Year End Thoughts
Podcast 46:05 | Download | Spotify| Stitcher | iTunes | Comment
As 2022 draws to a close Dan and Ian are in a reflective mood. In this week’s show they ponder the ‘lifestyle business take’ on ‘The Parable of the Mexican Fisherman’ and come up with an alternative interpretation involving YouTube.
They also discuss some the positives and negatives of their own business year including the results of their ambition to scale Dynamite Jobs, the power of reconnecting in person with colleagues, friends and mentors, and why alignment between founders is critical:
“I think we can up the leadership game a little bit. And a lot of that is about figuring out these concepts and ideas that scale through the organisation and create alignment. It’s creating empowerment and autonomy in each individual actor to know that they’re doing meaningful things on a day to day basis. That level of leadership is a tough nut to crack”.
Listen and learn:
