    S5 E20 | Tom Chaby: From SEAL Leadership to Peak Performance

    What does it take to perform at an elite level whether you're in combat, the boardroom, or under the bright lights? In this episode Captain Tom Chaby, retired Navy SEAL and founder of T3 Advantage, breaks down the mindset and leadership principles that drive top performers. With over 26 years of SEAL experience and work alongside organizations like the Tampa Bay Lightning and the University of Alabama, Tom shares why leadership starts with leading yourself first. He unpacks his 60-20-20 leadership philosophy and the four critical intangibles: mindset, discipline, resilience, and leadership. Tom challenges the popular belief in "positive thinking," introducing a powerful alternative: neutral thinking, where performance thrives under pressure. Through real-world stories from combat zones to championship games, he explains how perception shapes performance and why most people get pressure wrong. The conversations dives into how elite teams stay focused on process over outcomes, and how small mindset shifts can unlock massive results. Whether you're leading a team, growing a business, or just trying to perform at your best, this episode delivers practical, battle-tested insights that you can apply immediately. Sharpen your edge and operate at a higher level after you tune into this episode of "Money" Market.   WATCH NEXT: HOW FEEDING TAMPA BAY IS SOLVING HUNGER AT SCALE WITH THOMAS MANTZ https://youtu.be/Fn2WLpyMXsA?si=X_yCfoMK6qWTTEnY SUBSCRIBE: https://youtube.com/@themoneymarketpodcast?si=FmEkdfmwb3KeQ2C1   Follow The "Money" Market Podcast here: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6e7E0DaJZQkuw339G7nGI4?si=27d047641a1d4b17 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-money-market-podcast/id1733948143 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moneymarketpodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneymarketpodcast Website: https://moneymarketpodcast.com   The Bank of Tampa | Member FDIC

    S5 E19 | How Feeding Tampa Bay Is Solving Hunger at Scale with Thomas Mantz

    Food insecurity isn't about food at all – it's about economics, opportunity, and the strength of a community. In this episode of "Money" Market, host Owen LaFave and CEO of Feeding Tampa Bay, Thomas Mantz, break down the real cost of providing the dignity of a meal. Feeding Tampa Bay is one of the largest hunger relief organizations in the United States, spanning across 10 counties and providing more than 100 million meals a year. For Mantz, what began as a career in banking led him to knowing his true calling as a servant of his community and helping to solve this endemic problem of hunger. Mantz explains how hunger isn't simply solved by delivering more food. It's tied to economic gaps, rising living costs, debt, and the everyday realities families face while trying to keep the lights on and food on the table. Through powerful stories of teachers relying on food banks to families navigating crisis after crisis, Mantz shares why dignity must be at the center of every solution. This conversation dives into the logistics behind Feeding Tampa Bay's massive operation, the economic ripple effect of food insecurity, and why partnerships between nonprofits, businesses, and government matter more than ever. Listeners are challenged to rethink what it means to support their neighbors and invest in stronger communities.
