The Coach Bru Podcast

A compelling case for why you need to be a know it all but you just don’t need to be a do it all. And how to “inspect what you expect” from others. Brought to you by: https://www.chinupchestout.com

This episode we touch on a different kind of 80/20 rule. NOT Pareto’s Law, more like Bru’s 80% Maxim or whatever you listeners want to name it. This episode is brought to you by: https://www.ChinUpChestOut.com

An inspirational story about a visionary leader, how you can be one & how you can support one. https:www.bru.news/list

Building a case for infotainment or edutainment. Because there’s the job you think you do and then there’s the job you’re really do. Do you know which is which?

Style versus Substance, customer curation and how to ensure your product or service lives it up to its marketing.

Are you going out of business and just don’t know it yet?

In this episode Coach Bru chats with the incredibly talented artist and illustrator, Piper Colston. They discuss way more than just illustrating Bru's new book Roody Kangaroo Moves Forward. The two delve into the creative process, how to find inspiration and creativity via activities "outside work" as well as the learning experiences both had bringing the book to life early in 2022.

Whether that's in a stadium, a nuclear sub, the business world or anywhere else for that matter. What does it take? It takes the X-Factor.

We often brainwash ourselves into thinking “our business is different” or “our industry is different.” Or that political campaigning must be different than entrepreneurship. This misconception couldn't be further from the truth. The fundamentals are fundamental in every industry and when you can create a system, you bring calm to chaos and clarity to confusion. Whether you’re a politician or entrepreneur, you’re in the same business. You’re first and foremost in the relationship business, then the business of whatever field you work in. A campaign, whether it’s a political campaign, a crowdfunding campaign or a business-development campaign is essentially a system with a clearly defined outcome, starting point and finish line. In this episode we break it all down with guest expert Paul Weaver, who is a career educator (college professor) and is running a campaign for local office in his town.  NOTE: We do NOT discuss politics, merely the parallels between an election campaign and new business development. You'll IMMEDIATELY hear about numerous opportunities and strategies you previously hadn't considered.   For more information go to: http://www.CoachBru.com For more info on our guest go to: http://www.ElectPaulWeaver.com

An in depth interview with Steve Colfer, Head Coach of the 2019 NCAA Champion Cabrini University Men's Lacrosse Team. In 19 seasons at the helm of the Cabrini men’s lacrosse program, Colfer has mentored the Cavaliers to 19 consecutive conference championships and 18 straight appearances in the NCAA Tournament. Colfer is a 13-time Coach of the Year and owns a commanding 284-72 career record. His .798 winning percentage ranks among the top 10 coaches of all-time in Divisions I, II and III.  In 2019, Colfer led the program to the University's first NCAA championship with a 16-12 victory over Amherst College.  And in the process they closed the season on a 15-game win streak, finishing the season 22-2, one win shy of the NCAA record for wins in a season. We discuss this season the media called a "magical run" (which I predicted before the season even started) as well as: Building a championship culture The power of hope Why you should root for your competition Empowering your staff and team leadership The importance of continuity Plus a whole lot more.

An in depth interview with perhaps the most controversial and widely misunderstood coach in America, Jason Brown. Jason is the star of the Netflix documentary series Last Chance U. Seasons #3 and #4 feature Jason and his team at Independence Community College. We dive into how he is such a lightning rod and polarizing public figure, as well as WHY he's misunderstood. The conversation also turns to authenticity in a world of fakes as well as the fact that there's very little "reality" in reality TV. We also discuss Jason's terrific new book Hate Me Now, Love Me Later as well as his time at Indy and the experience of being followed around by television cameras 24-7. There are a lot of people I meet who I recommend write a book, most don't. Jason is one of the few who not only took the advice but also did it in record time.  You get to see a VERY different side of the man in his book, I recommend you get yourself a copy here:  www.TheRealCoachJB.com

Interview with veteran, leadership expert, entrepreneur and author, Jon Rennie.

So good that, if you aren't 100% satisfied with it, I'll buy the book back from you. That's how good, now go get it...

A discussion on depression in entrepreneurship.  The interview is based on his groundbreaking article  #HustleHarder - A Study of Mental Health in the Entrepreneurship Community. Val is saying what millions of entrepreneurs are feeling but believe it's taboo to talk about. We also expose the fraudulent online goo-roos who promote "Hustle Porn”. Which is using the power of social media to convince others to take risks not right for them, by pushing a lifestyle that isn’t just unreasonable, but downright dangerous for many people. Note: I use Proof Factor on my website. I'm not an affiliate, I receive no compensation for promoting it.
