This isn't your typical episode of the Thrivecast. In this solo show, Jason dives deep into the most common wrong assumptions about leading a team. There's a chance your approach to hiring, workflow, role clarity, and personality tests are all wrong! Don't miss this opportunity to level up your firm, so grab a notebook, pen, laptop, iPad, or whatever you use to take notes—Jason's class is in session.

On this new episode of Thrivecast, Jason welcomes legendary speaker, highly sought-after consulting guru, and author, Alan Weiss. Alan formed Summit Consulting Group in 1985 and has published over 64 books along with an impressive public speaking career that has taken him to 60+ countries. Jason and Alan dig into the roots of consulting, debunking popular myths and stereotypes to prove why the consultants will never go away. You're not going to want to miss this explosive episode from one of the world's greatest consultants as Alan shares the lessons and secrets he's learned over the course of his extensive career.

We have a special guest on Thrivecast for this episode—and it's a voice you'll recognize if you joined us at Deeper Weekend last year. J.Dew is a well-known emcee around Greenville, and we're stoked to have him back for #DW22. He joins us on the Thrivecast to discuss what the life of an emcee is like behind-the-scenes and draw some parallels with entrepreneurial firm owners. Jason and J. Dew walk through Deeper Weekend and how the two of them came together to create an experience that catered to attendees, not speakers (for once). Give this podcast a listen to get an idea of how Deeper Weekend comes together, starting with signing a stellar emcee. Sign up for Deeper Weekend to hear J.Dew: https://bit.ly/3prdG9h
