When you wrote Passion Struck, I was advised once upon a time that if you write a book, you try not to write it for everyone. You try to write it for maybe one person that you really have in mind. Who did you write Passion Struck for in a way?
Yeah, I love that. Just to tie up, one thing that we always do with our guests is a quick lightning round. These are just short responses, but give some insight for our listeners. And so if you don't mind, for you, what's one of your favorite quotes that you tend to reference most?
So good. In relation to that and some of the things that you said, what's one thing that you own that you should probably throw out?
Oh, love that. Yeah, we accumulate so much over life and thinking it makes us bigger, but then it actually just adds a lot of stress in many cases and more things to manage, right? I always like to say I'd prefer to be friends with a guy that has a boat than have one. Yep. I love this. Thank you so much.
This has been a really enlightening episode just because of your history being so unique in your pathway and some of the lessons and frankly, some of the lessons you learned not just from your own life, but from some of the people you've interviewed.
John, thanks for your time so much today. Great interview.
This is your host, Adam Outland. And outside of this podcast, I'm also the leader for a division of our company, Southwestern Consulting, and our division is the Southwestern Student Coaching Program. And that division, we started back in 2020 because the desire we had was to take all these skills that we've equipped executives with for
Over a decade, I've coached executives and managers and sales professionals on the skills, the habits, the motivation, and the systems to be successful in their job and in life.
And what we realized from working with 30, 40, 50 year olds was if we could have gotten to them when they were in ninth grade, in middle school, in high school, and equipped them with the same things we're teaching them now, the ripple effects would be huge. And so back in 2020, we decided to formulate a coaching program for youth
equipping youth with the same types of skill development that we typically work on with adults. We just apply it to their world. And what that looks like is teaching them the study skills, the communication skills that they can use every day in the classroom and outside the classroom, coaching them on the mindset and the motivation of someone who's a top performer And what does that mean?
It means helping a young teenager create and craft a vision for themselves. Because without a vision, we perish. But with a vision, we can be equipped with the motivation to dig into our study habits. We can see the connection between our future and the excellence that we have to form in our habits now to be successful in the long run. And we also work on the emotional intelligence.
It's how we balance our emotions and manage those emotions when they come up in a way that allows us to communicate effectively with others and to communicate with ourselves. It's about equipping young people with self-talk. That means equipping them with the language that they can use to better direct their thoughts and their mind to accomplish their goals and their aims.
And lastly, we equip them with the systems. That means for us, the tools, the time management, and the organization strategies are to not just work hard in life, but to work smart. And when we combine all these different areas that we work with our teens on, what we find is that they form the habits early in life that allows them to achieve their goals later in life and even right now.
And so our passion is to equip as many young people across this world as we can. And we're doing pretty good so far. We've got teens in seven different countries who have been through our coaching program to date. We've worked with over 400 teens, and we would love to be able to serve you as well. Here's how it works. If you want to investigate coaching, we start with a parent consultation.
That's a free call to discuss your students' particular needs and our program details. We work with Olympic athletes all the way down to teens that are just struggling to motivate themselves to do the daily work necessary in their class. So wherever your teen is, we'll meet them where they are and get them to the next level. And that starts with a parent consultation with you.
A student planning session, that's the next step. If we agree that the value that coaching can bring matches your team, then we will move to a student planning session. It's basically a free one-on-one coaching session with your team. And that is designed to support them, but it's also designed to ask a lot of questions to help explore whether or not they want to be coached.
Because at the end of the day, they ultimately have to be the one that pulls the trigger. And then after your student planning session, we get them paired with the right coach for them. We have an amazing staff of coaches from ex-division one athletes, people who've come from the Ivy League system.
We have coaches who have come from entrepreneurial backgrounds and acting backgrounds, so we can pair them with the right fit for them. And then once they partner with their coach, they'll benefit from two coaching sessions a month to really zone in on their personal growth and their skill development.
So if you're ready to give your student the tools they need to be successful, click the link in the show notes for more information, and to make sure you can schedule your free parent consultation today.
Welcome back, Action Catalyst listeners. This is another Overtime with Outland. Today we'll be discussing episode 465 with Preet Martin, president of Southwestern Ventures, part of the Southwestern family of companies. A few concepts that we pulled from Preet's interview that would be useful for our listeners. Number one is that simple doesn't always mean easy.
