1. Episode 25: Kisha Zullo & Who Moved My Cheese? John M Jaramillo 1:17:55

For this episode, entrepreneur Kisha Zullo breaks down the book and draws parallels between its lessons and the journey her career and life have taken. I’ve been hearing about the WIB Summit for years and have seen the resources Kisha and her partners have provided for its attendees in the areas of leadership, money management, entrepreneurship, and personal development. It creates a major ripple effect in the lives of the attendees as well as into our own network and community.

I love how Kisha walks us through what it took to begin her journey of self-discovery – even before knowing what she wanted to do. That it took her own imagination from childhood, when she would create events and experiences for her family while still under 10 years of age, and support from both great bosses and wonderful family to carry out the work she’s meant to be doing in event planning, creating great experiences for all involved.

Some highlights from this episode:

  • How the show Dallas plays into Kisha’s current work
  • Why great clients need to be celebrated
  • How the WIB Summit was almost called the WIBPTBTTAB Summit

Books Mentioned:

  • Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck
  • The Leadership Challenge by Barry Posner and James Kouzes
  • Q: The Autobiography by Quincy Jones

The MAIN QUESTION for you, which underlies my conversation with Kisha is, How is it you proactively work to see what’s out there for you, fighting complacency and comfort to expand your comfort zone?
