The Golden Thread

business design // leadership // strategy // systems

My podcast guest this week is one of the most original thinkers I know.

Larry King called him “America’s Biographer.”

The guy is a 22-time Emmy winner. He's made documentaries with Richard Branson, Dolly Parton, and Magic Johnson…
…and helped take down human trafficking rings with special forces.

He says “I had to learn how to do business to earn the right to be creative.

Nick will tell you how he built businesses that opened the door to the entertainment industry, where his heart really lies.
...How he’s learned to operate almost entirely inside his unique ability
...Why mentorship shortens the journey
...How he used EOS and Strategic Coach to restructure and scale.
...How he thinks about hiring, team design, and leadership roles.

And how it starts with knowing the difference in self-awareness and self-consciousness.

Here is Nick Nanton. Enjoy.

[Post] Why 'The Golden Thread'?

It’s the single, unbroken, line that binds it all together, connecting the vision - behaviors - numbers - execution.

That's what everyone rowing the same direction looks like.
