THE ED MYLETT SHOW · How to Master the Art of Persuasion & Scale Your Vision | Ed Mylett · 19 Sep 2026 podcast

I tell people all the time, success is the credibility of a leader to lead.

Because you think about it, no one ever got, you know, nobody ever said, oh my gosh, you know, okay, I got it.

i'm financially in deep weeds oh my gosh i'm gonna i'm i think i'll go call my buddy joe he's been bankrupt three times you're right right hey joe no no you don't follow joe joe's been bankrupt three times you gotta go find somebody that's successful with

don't get to do oh my gosh well i'm gonna call jack he's been divorced four times you know jack help me with my marriage you see people when they need help

the first thing they think about is who is better than me that I can follow.

And so the credibility of a leader as far as to lead is that they're successful.

I mean, if I'm successful, I say, Hey, I'd want to join my team.

Well, of course, I mean, if LeBron James was in the room right now, LeBron says,

We're going to play a little basketball.

And LeBron says, you know, I'll pick and then John will pick.

Well, when LeBron's there, you've got your hand up and say, LeBron, pick me because you're going to win if you get LeBron.

And every time I'm getting right pick, you're diving behind the chair.

You don't want to be on my team.

You're going to lose on my team.

So what I tell people all the time is that the first thing you've got to do is you've got to get good yourself.

Why would I ever think that I should lead somebody if I'm not any good at it?

Okay.

But once I'm good and I've found my success,

Now I begin to say, okay, how do I compound this?

Well, I compound this by looking at Ed and saying, okay, Ed, let me help you find your sweet spot and let's get you on this same road.
