Grit, Resilience and Unapologetic Truth with Michael McLean #117
Michael McLean is not your typical entrepreneur - he’s turned a bankrupt ice hockey club into a championship team, tripled the profits of his family business, and inspired thousands to embrace bold action.
With a no-nonsense, take-no-prisoners approach, Michael’s motivational sentiment will push you to rethink success and purpose. Join us to explore the power of ‘Vitamin N’, the secret to winning every day, and the three most important words you should live up to.
Lee and Michael discuss:
Being the ‘Merchant of Truth’ and the personal philosophy that fuels Michael’s success
Balancing being ruthlessly effective in business with making a meaningful impact on the community
The parallels between building a championship sports team and running a profitable business
The one ‘no-BS’ mindset shift every leader needs to adopt immediately
