About this listen
Summary:
This episode features a 'Too Long, Didn't Listen' (TLDL) summary of my conversation with Jon Mayo, founder of the Waymaker Movement and leadership coach for high-performing founders. Key insights include his foundational shift from trying to be the "cool guy" to becoming a conduit for team success, learned through military training when a soldier's feedback revealed how visible frustration deflates entire teams. Jon's distinction between servant leadership and steward leadership fundamentally reframes responsibility, emphasizing that stewardship requires value-based judgment rather than reactive service to every demand. The episode highlights his observation that many successful founders play a three-dimensional game when success actually requires four dimensions, particularly missing the relationship piece at home. Jon's philosophy emphasizes integration across all life dimensions and maintaining a learning mindset by refusing to accept guru-like pedestals that limit growth.
