The Jody Maberry Show

"If you want to get results, exert influence. If you want to feel like you're getting results when you're not, exert power."

After a great conversation with Tim Dyck in our last episode, he has returned to ask me three questions. This was a fun chat with questions that led to a discussion about the importance of influence over power in leadership positions and how my experiences as a park ranger taught me a valuable lesson.

Tim's questions explore:

• the crucial role influence plays in effective leadership over mere power
• valuable lessons from my unique park ranger experiences and how to apply them to your journey
• financial security tips when transitioning to entrepreneurship
• the impact of storytelling in leadership and business growth
• the story behind the greatest sports logo ever designed and why it matters

From discussing the best sports logos to the transferable skill of understanding power versus influence, this is a fun episode that navigates entrepreneurship and leadership.
