The Conviction of a Leader
The definition of conviction is a firmly held belief. Leadership looks different for each person, but every leader has strong convictions that pave the way for how they guide their people. Whether you're an experienced leader, a current leader, a novice leader, or a soon-to-be leader--this podcast is a must for you. Through this show, we will hear leaders share their convictions, the struggles they face, and the challenges they have overcome by staying true to their convictions. Leadership can be hard and can be lonely. I aim to connect you with leaders who have walked the journey and want to show others the way. This is Beau Vincent, and you're listening to the conviction of a Leader.
The Conviction of a Leader
20. Lead With Authenticity with Justin Harkelroad
Our guest today has gone from insurance agency owner, to software developer, to fitness coach and insurance coach.
Justin Harkelroad started a scratch insurance agency in Fort Wayne, Indiana in 2007 with a business partner after being told about an $18,000 bonus they could make. They worked their way up to the ‘Mega’ designation with Allstate. Fast forward to 2017, Justin and his partner developed ‘Follow Up Tool’, a CRM that allowed texting, phone call automation, and emailing to be in one location. This program proved to be helpful to salespersons to have everything in one place. By 2019, they merged and sold Follow Up Tool.
Later that year, Justin went to a boxing gym in LA and fell in love. He came back to Fort Wayne and signed a lease on a gym. He sold the insurance agency in early 2020 and opened the gym a couple months later. Three weeks after they opened, everything got shut down due to the pandemic. The gym is now very successful, and he is in the process of opening a second gym on the other side of town.
Get out your pen and paper to take notes! We hope Justin’s story inspires you to chase your dreams. You are the only thing standing between yourself and your goals. The sky's the limit!
