Maxwell Frost

My guest today is a wildly successful entrepreneur, who is an incredibly generous, humble and wise individual. That person is John Snyder, my mentor.⁣

If I were to pick the top 3 most influential people in my life over the last 10 years, John would be in the mix. I’ve been incredibly fortunate to absorb truck loads of  wisdom from John over the years during the many meals we’ve enjoyed together.⁣

To say John is good at starting and growing companies, is like saying Michael Jordan is good at basketball. It really couldn’t be anymore of an understatement. ⁣

In this episode we dive into mentorship, leadership, and entrepreneurship, including John selling his insurance company to AIG, which was valued at over $160 million dollars. ⁣

Some topics include:⁣

  • Gratitude as the antidote to anxiety⁣
  • THE most important skill for leaders ⁣
  • Easy doesn’t mean good, and hard doesn’t mean bad⁣
  • How serving others helps reduce anxiety⁣
  • There doesn't have to be a loser to be a winner
  • Just do the next thing
