Comparing Internal vs External Scoreboard and Finding Balance in the Age of Social Media @RyanHawk

On differentiating between the two scoreboards that run our lives

Ryan Hawk, the voice behind "The Learning Leader Show," eloquently shares his passage from a budding sales rep to a beacon of guidance and performance excellence, and the cherished upcoming book project with Brook Cupps. This episode paints a vivid portrait of Hawk's ethos, rooted in the multifaceted nature of mentorship and the vibrant tapestry of life's locales.

As the conversation crescendos, we revel in the universal language of music, its power to forge indelible bonds, and the memories etched in the melodies of Tom Petty, O.A.R., and the Dave Matthews Band. These shared experiences, from the electric energy of live concerts to the cherished moments with our children, underscore the essence of why we toil and triumph.

Our episode is an invitation to savor these narratives, to recognize the sacrifice and gratitude inherent in military service, and to partake in the wisdom and warmth that Ryan Hawk extends, not just as a leader, but as a storyteller for the ages.
