Welcome to Episode 90 of "Strategy + Action" with your host, Jason Croft. In this captivating interview, we dive deep into the incredible entrepreneurial journey of the remarkable Nick Kennedy.
In the first half of this power-packed podcast, Nick shares his awe-inspiring journey, starting very simply as a college student selling pancakes out of his dorm room. A keen problem solver from the outset, Nick realized he could create solutions and help others along the way. He takes us through his remarkable trajectory, from being part of a company that sold a check-in kiosk business for eight figures to launching and selling a thriving private plane subscription service company, Rise.
However, Nick's journey doesn't stop at entrepreneurship; it's just the beginning. Discover how he transitioned into executive coaching for CEOs, where he helps leaders not only confront their emotions but also focus on personal and professional growth. Nick's insightful take on leadership is that it's not just about external strategies but, even more importantly, about understanding one's own emotions and being introspective to make a positive impact on the world.
In the second part of this engaging interview, Nick delves into the critical role of a coach and the profound value of having someone guide you through your challenges. He differentiates between offering advice to friends and coaching clients, highlighting how clients are more likely to heed advice due to the financial investment they've made.
Nick shares a personal anecdote about his collaboration with Jason to create the transformative "Seven-day Audacity Challenge." This challenge revolves around making audacious decisions to drive personal growth. It's a journey of empowerment and self-discovery that Nick believes is essential to unlocking one's full potential.
The interview further emphasizes the pivotal importance of having a coach or mentor who can challenge you, helping you navigate both your personal life and your career. Nick's firm belief in the power of audacity and taking calculated risks is evident throughout the discussion as he draws on his own life experiences.
