Captain’s Notes for Young Leaders Podcast

Being a leader is hard. Being a young leader can be even harder. I’m Tyler Ross. I’m a former U.S. Marine Corps officer, combat veteran, and current operations executive. This podcast is intended for young leaders, employers of young leaders, and anyone interested in studying the art, science, and psychology behind successfully leading teams as a young professional. Don’t let age keep you from leading. Don’t set limits for yourself because of perceived boundaries. Leverage your own abilities, and those of your teams, to accomplish the mission. Age is a mindset, but leadership is a calling. Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tyler-ross0/support

    Episode 18: Sustainable Success (with Brett Dioguardi)

    "Be careful what line of work you get into - you'll be stuck with it your entire career." How many of us received this wise "counsel" from workforce veterans as we neared college graduation or prepared to enter the workforce? There's a pervasive myth out there that says "your first job dictates what your last job will be." "If you start in retail, you'll end in retail." "Find a place you want to stay for 30 years." Sound familiar? Wrong. In today's business environment, it is much more valuable, both personally and to employers, for professionals to have varied, multi-disciplinary experiences that allow them to pull from a larger pool of experiences and perspectives. The "one-trick pony" era is over. Join us for this episode as we invite Brett Dioguardi, current VP of Impact at Summit Coffee, sustainability leader and professional learner, to discuss how to cultivate a diverse, multi-disciplinary, sustainable career path. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tyler-ross0/support

    Episode 17: The Three Cs (with Matt Wiggins)

    Leaders are good because they're good at what they do - right? The answer is surprisingly (or maybe not-so-surprisingly) complex. While competence is certainly an important factor that a successful leader should have, it's only one leg of a three-legged stool on which a successful leader stands. For this episode, I'm thrilled to be joined by Matt Wiggins, a dear friend, youth ministry professional and youth therapist, who helps us break down the "Three Cs" required to become a successful leader: Competence, Character, and Consciousness. Join us as we walk through these concepts, especially from the perspective of a young person and/or of influencers of young people, and understand how to enhance the Three Cs to both be a better leader, and to develop better leaders for tomorrow. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tyler-ross0/support

    Episode 16: Tactical Pauses

    In today's world of buzzwords like "speed-to-market," " efficiency-gains," and "high-speed, low-drag," the concept of stopping the madness to smell the roses seems...out-of-place. But guess what - that's where magic happens. We owe it to ourselves to take a moment from time-to-time, look around us, and take a tactical pause. This can be for as long or as short as you need it, and should provide an opportunity to be present, drink everything in, and clear your mind before moving forward. You may take a tactical pause for a few minutes before making a big decision, for a few hours to attend a child's sporting event at the end of a long work day, or (in my case regarding this podcast), for a few years while you figure out who you want to be in this life. I'm thrilled to be back in the saddle after my own two-year tactical pause. But as with all pauses - there comes a time to push play again. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tyler-ross0/support

    Episode 15: The Power of Positivity (with Erlan Martinez Castro)

    The saying "mind over matter" may be one of the most commonly-used in the English language.

This is an important aspect to succeeding through the challenges of every day life, but has especially powerful applications in the context of being a successful leader.  Erlan is a marketing professional based in Charlotte, NC, with a fascinating background.

    Episode 13: Standing on the Shoulders of Giants (with Mark Owens)

    Successful leaders not only raise the game of those around them; they also build off of the foundation of those that came before them.   Rarely in any industry will you find yourself "alone and unafraid"  without inheriting some history. As a Marine, I inherited the 235+ years of valor and courage that preceded me. In healthcare, I inherited the centuries of medical device advancement that has led up to modern medical technology.  This can be applied to either the micro (small team) or macro (large team) context.  As such, who better to discuss "Standing on the Shoulders of Giants" than Mark Owens, the President and CEO of Greater Winston-Salem, Inc., in Winston-Salem, NC. GWSI functions as the region's Chamber of Commerce; a region that includes nearly 1.4 million total residents.  At this macro scale, the economic and cultural development that Mark is driving has real implications on a massive amount of residents in his region.   And his region is only growing.   Join us as Mark walks us through how he leveraged the wisdom and momentum of his predecessors to propel Winston-Salem into the future. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tyler-ross0/support

    Episode 12: The Importance of Relationships (with Chris Clunie)

    Whether in a professional or a personal setting, nobody exists in a vaccuum.   As such, it should come as no surprise that a key part of success for anyone, no matter their age, is their ability to build, maintain, and leverage relationships.  Join us as we invite Chris Clunie, the Athletic Director at Davidson College in Davidson, NC, to the show as he discusses his meteoric rise from student athlete, to NBA executive, to the second-youngest AD in Division I athletics. One major key to his success: the relationships he has made along the way, and his approach to maintaining them.  Chris, a former teammate of NBA superstar Stephen Curry, is a true leader in every sense of the word: at his school, in his community, and in his industry. As a resident of Davidson myself, I can attest to his impact first-hand.  Enjoy and remember: Age is a mindset, but leadership is a calling. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tyler-ross0/support
