Marketing Smarts: The Mentally Strong Leader with Keynote Speaker Scott Mautz

The best leaders are mentally strong. How do they get that way? Our guest, Scott Mautz, believes there are 6 mental muscles that equate to mental strength. And we have to keep working out those muscles – just like we do physical muscles at the gym. Scott is a Bestselling Author, Keynote Speaker, and passionate expert on mental strength, peak performance, change, employee engagement, and leadership. His latest book, The Mentally Strong Leader, explores why mental strength is THE leadership superpower of our times. This episode covers everything from mental strength to leadership. Here’s a small sample of what you will hear in this episode:

  • What is mental strength?
  • How does self-regulation work?
  • What are the 6 Mental Muscles?
  • How do you build habits?
  • What is the secret sauce of being successful?
  • How should you assess risks?
  • Have Anne & April ever been to a casino?
  • What are 5 things Scott would take to a deserted island?
