To reign in the last episode of our double digits, We invite the one and only Jan Rutherford to join us! Jan shares his journey from being the 'littlest Green Beret' to becoming a leader in self-reliant leadership. He discusses the importance of embracing discomfort for personal growth, the challenges of leadership, and the significance of developing others. Through anecdotes from his life and experiences in the military, Jan emphasizes the need for trust, delegation, and the courage to face fears in leadership roles. The discussion also highlights the unique leadership training expeditions he conducts with veterans, showcasing the transformative power of outdoor experiences in developing effective leaders. In this conversation, Jan Rutherford discusses the essence of living a good life, emphasizing that it should be experienced in the present rather than as a future goal. He highlights the importance of solitude and reflection, particularly in nature, as a means to gain clarity and insight into one's life. The discussion also delves into the dynamics of group interactions during expeditions, the significance of understanding one's dark side, and the necessity of endurance in leadership roles. Ultimately, Jan redefines success as living a life of service to others, where personal fulfillment and family pride take precedence over traditional achievements.
