90. Jason T Smith - Living with Conviction

Jason T Smith is a A leadership expert passionate about inspiring others to live with conviction. He’s the Founder of Back in Motion Health Group & SOS Health Foundation and in 2013 was named Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year. At his core Jason is a man of “multiplied”, or better termed ‘Amplified Impact’.

This is no ordinary episode. See, I knew Jason, but Jason didn’t know me, yet he agreed to meet me, a total stranger in the middle of a Melbourne laneway just so I could tell him to his face how much of an impact watching him speak had on me. A bizarre way to invite a a guest onto a podcast, sure, maybe I could have just shot him a text, but the conversation that unfolded left me grateful I had the courage to ask and undoubtedly left Jason with one of his most memorable podcasting experiences to date.

We chat about:

* Jason begins with a story of faith

* How my employment situation recently did a radical 180

* Jason explains management vs leadership

* The importance of leading with truth and acknowledging our own flaws

* Jasons story of going from physiotherapist to entrepreneur

* Accepting the hardships that come with taking risks

* The importance of surrounding yourself with good people and more

While editing this episode it was hard not to notice that I’m far from a polished host. In the interest of following Jason’s great example of vulnerability in being able to call out his own “imperfections”, it’s only right that I call out some of mine. In some ways I’m a terrible host. I mean, I couldn’t remember the name of my guest’s book, I struggled to recall some of his incredible quotes, I may have excitedly interjected here or there and to Jason’s point, there was a fair bit of mystery associated with my vague podcast request. It left me wondering, is this venture right for me? Am I approaching it with the professionalism it deserves? Or is absence of having it all together part of the charm? It’s impossible to see from the inside…
