What does it take to go from a small-town upbringing to coaching Fortune 500 executives and professional athletes? Join me as I sit down with Jordan Montgomery, owner of Montgomery Companies and author of The Art of Encouragement: How to Lead Teams, Spread Love, and Serve from the Heart. Jordan shares insights into his journey, emphasizing leadership lessons learned in the financial services industry and the role of authentic encouragement. We discuss balancing professional success with family life, his passion for the outdoors, love for the Iowa Hawkeyes, and the importance of being willing to try things and fail. Tune in as we explore the importance of setting daily goals, embracing feedback, and maintaining strong personal connections in leadership.
