Scott Spate, what is your vision currently? My
vision is to reach a million people, especially
men, to help them become so much more bold in
their faith with their families and with their
leadership. Because I think leadership is bigger
than just in your workplace. It's in your community,
it's in your family, it's in everything that
you do. And we need people to be more bold today.
in there in those three areas and it's and it's
not about you know putting something out there
and and having free speech as we're as we're
seeing right now going around it's really about
just taking a stand for what you believe and
being authentic and having integrity oh i love
it scott i'm gonna we're two mathematicians with
chalkboards right now going crazy uh we have
a saying in first class business we actually
have the Leadership Academy of First Class Business.
And our saying is leadership is a lifestyle.
That's exactly what it's about. Our principles
of leadership are love, patience, persistence,
consistency, and reliability. And that's what
everything that we build goes back to. And it's
because of great leaders like yourself. It's
because of learning from the United States military.
um and saluting the flag and growing up in texas
where i got to learn about those aspects and
boy scouts of america and beyond there's so many
factors that helped me with my leadership um
in terms of of leadership then in terms of the
mastermind what do you see for yourself in the
future for guiding that and the million men that
that dive into that because it's this is a i
have found it's been a hard world to be able
to not just stick to those principles but sometimes
those principles lead to others you know not
wanting to work with you and that can be somebody
as simple as saying like i don't like your woo
woo stuff um you know hey you're too touchy -feely
or you're too commanding um you know you're trying
to domineer and you're narcissistic because you're
leading like there's lots of labels that come
out these days and and misinterpretations of
what leadership is and of course there's the
hitler side of leadership you know leading with
hate and controlling people with manipulation
and coercion so How does a man step in to full
integrity and authentically guide others and
bless other people's lives when so many people
want to tear that down? Great question. And I
think the biggest thing that comes to mind is,
you know, when we as men decide to become vulnerable,
that's when critical growth takes place. And
as you were talking, I was thinking about, When
somebody comes at you with those things that
they're accusing you of, they're struggling in
their own life with some of that very thing.
And it's their way of saying, I don't want to
deal and I don't want to face my own crap. And
my mastermind is not about dealing and it's not
about counseling. It's about moving forward.
It's about men surrounding each other, coming
together and saying, hey, I'm struggling in this
area. You know, I telling telling a group of
men, these these groups are 10 or less. So it's
a little bit more intimate. Looking across the
room and saying to somebody, you know, I am struggling
with porn or I, you know, my marriage is on the
rocks or I'm struggling in my work. I'm not a
good dad. I've been gone, you know, away from
my family. I've been whatever they're struggling
with. Coming together and being vulnerable. And
I always tell my students, because I train chaplains,
men and women, I say the more vulnerable you
are, the more you're going to grow. And that's
the bottom line. And I've been reading, not to
give a shout out to her, but I've been reading
Brene Brown's book, Dare to Lead. And that's
exactly what she starts with. I'm getting ready
to teach that to a bunch of soldiers in a few
months. And that's exactly what she starts out
with, vulnerability. That's critical. And I think
that's where you start is looking inward instead
of looking out and saying, OK, what do I need?
Where do I where do I need to grow? Absolutely.
And now you mentioned on here peak performance.
Right. And going forward with that. So I don't
mean to lead the witness a little bit, but I
just I see you emulating it. So so I will there.
You mentioned talking about the problem. or the
challenges that may exist in life and i think
it's important not to ignore because life can
be overwhelming on the flip side though peak
performance typically moves from the the survival
method into a position of thriving from survive
to thrive how does that how does that play into
the mastermind and how do you guys balance the
art of of diving into excellence while also making
sure that you make room for those who are struggling
at a point where problems kind of all they can
see So I actually wrote a book several years
ago called Living Your Life in Peak Performance.
Stop playing small. And I kind of I kind of related
the book to, you know, NFL players versus a college
high school football player or an NBA player
versus there's only a select few that reach that
level. But in life, we've all got the potential
to reach a level that is beyond what we we could
ever think or imagine. I think we hold ourselves
back. And so when I think about peak performance,
I think about somebody that says, OK, I am willing
to step up and do the things that nobody else
is willing to do. And so a lot of times when
I teach groups, I talk about the fact that, you
know, somebody is inside of a house and they
see that, you know, they need to get out. They
need to go. They need to go do something. But
they kind of get to the to the door and they're
like that. I'm not I'm not exactly ready to to
do this. And so, you know, they hold themselves
back and then they go to they may they may get
enough courage and they try to get to the car
and they say, OK, I can get to the car, but I'm
still not ready to go full out. But that individual
that is willing to get to the car, get out on
the highway, push forward, chase after their
dreams, whatever they may be. then I think that
they find that they are a lot happier in life.
They find their joy. They find their purpose
in life. And that kind of goes back to, you know,
so many people, what's my purpose in life? What
do you love doing? You know, your purpose doesn't
have to be a career or a job. Your purpose can
be, as you, as you talked about earlier, being
a dad. Yeah. What do you, you know, if, if you
focused on being a great dad, are you a peak
performing father to your four kids? Yeah. And
I think it's we can we can narrow that down to
am I am I a peak performer in these in these
core areas in my life? Going back to your leadership
academy, the five pillars. Right. Am I a peak
performer in all of these areas or am I just
struggling in one bucket? I think Dan Miller
that wrote he's passed away now, 48 days to the
work you love. He equates that to having a car
and an air and all four tires. If one tire is
flat, then the car is not going to go very well.
And so having that same balance in your life,
if there's air in all five of those pillars in
your life, whatever they may be, they're going
to be different for everybody, right? Absolutely.
But if you're focused on making sure that all
those areas that are important to you, your values
and your vision are important, you're going to
be successful in that area. I love it, Scott.
Make a few plugs here if that's okay with you.
Are you okay with that? Absolutely. This is featuring
your vision, but, man, we've got so many things
that overlap. And it's also just such value to
the audience that I want to make sure to honor
the resources that we have for all of you listening
in. So I'm going to show two different screens.
We've been building these AI widgets, these interactive
pages that are just blowing my mind. I cannot
believe we built this. I built the first one
on accident. We'll talk about that in another
show. But Passion Pro here, this is a program
I built years ago. And I've been meaning to pull
it into more interactive user interface. But
this is to help you. find what that purpose is
in life and live a life of fulfillment um and
so you're going to get the links that you can
dive into this and figure out what your passions
are this is designed for everybody from career
experts to mothers and fathers and teenagers
who are looking for what is it that i want to
be remembered for you know what is it that i
really want to live for and in addition to that
you mentioned this concept of those tires and
wheels Fletcher Ellingson is one of my personal
coaches. He's a phenomenal coach. He's now a
co -host of the show and he's got his life wheel.
And so he gave me a piece of paper with these
things on it and told me to color it in. And
he's like, did you print it out? I said, what
does it mean to print? And of course I messed
him a little bit, but we did it. virtually and
we didn't have this so i plugged this in the
chat gbt and asked it to build something and
it literally built this page it took me about
four hours total to build what i would consider
a 50 000 system and just again i didn't really
prompt it with that much and it helped me build
this whole thing um and the whole point of this
wheel up here is if you can see that okay if
your self image is low then your tire's flat
in that area of life and so you want to start
working on that side of your life so that you
start creating more balance in what you have.
So right along with what you were talking about.
Thank you, Scott, for playing the seat on that.
My friends, if you guys go to let us see, is
it go global mastermind dot com? You can find
out more about the mastermind that Scott has
built out. Of course, you can find his book on
Amazon. We just looked at that. And I highly
recommend staying close to leaders like Scott.
That's what I do. It seems like I'm aggressively
like Scott. I'm like, OK, how do I make sure?
I latch onto this guy and make sure that I can
pull from his wisdom for the rest of time. And
we look forward to seeing you guys all on the
next episode of Vision Pros Life. Scott, would
