Business, Basketball, and Building a Winning Culture — Mat Ishbia Wisdom Series: Part One

Think basketball has nothing to do with business? Think again says Mat Ishbia, the CEO and President of United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM) and a player on the NCAA National Championship winning Michigan State University team.

In part one of this Wisdom Series episode, we welcome Mat back to the podcast to dig deeper into his unique perspective on business leadership, why lessons learned on the court have translated into corporate workplace success, and his fantastic book on business, Running the Corporate Offense: Lessons in Effective Leadership from the Bench to the Board Room. 

And even if sports aren’t your thing, I promise that you’ll still take away so much value from Mat’s insightful, people-first advice. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why Mat uses a shot clock during team meetings
• What advice Mat has regarding business decisions
• Why the CEO should know how other roles work
• How to motivate your team to be the best in their role
• Why banning technology from meetings can shorten meetings
• What it means to W.I.N.
• Which strategies Mat uses to meet his goals
• Why Mat encourages CEOs to call their clients directly
• How No-Meeting Thursdays have boosted productivity
• Why we need to be okay with failure
• And so much more...
