How Leadership Can Save and Transform Your Startup with Jeremiah Miller Founder of Forging Leaders

How Leadership Can Save and Transform Your Startup with Jeremiah Miller Founder of Forging Leaders

Author: Luke Bayard: Entrepreneur, Business Strategist and Techie June 26, 2016 Duration: 1:04:11

Today's guest is Jeremiah Miller, founder of Forging Leaders, who in 2009 started his journey out by doing speaking engagements and writing articles when ever the opportunity presented itself. Eventually, in 2010 he was able to quit his 9 to 5 and pursue his passion of helping to make other leaders great.

In this interview we discuss the following questions and topics:

  • How accountability is one of your biggest assets in building a company?
  • Why is the greatest fear we have rejection? And how to over come it.
  • How to convert your business plan into a strategic plan?
  • How to avoid crisis moments with employees and give quality feedback?
  • How to build allies who believe in your purpose enough to sacrifice for you?
  • How to get buy-in from employees and co-workers?
  • Why you should envision building a business as a game and develop a strategy around that game.
  • How do leadership, athletics and grit relate? (my personal favorite part!)

Luke Bayard, an entrepreneur and business strategist with a deep technical background, hosts Cult of Startup Podcast. Here, the polished facade of success is set aside to make room for the real, unvarnished origin stories. Each conversation is a journey back to the chaotic and formative early days, where guests recount everything from horrible miscalculations and embarrassing stumbles to those rare, awesome breakthroughs that changed everything. Luke’s approach is deliberately open-ended and nothing-off-limits, digging into the specific reasons-often messy and unexpected-behind an entrepreneur’s eventual trajectory. The result is an hour that feels less like a formal interview and more like hanging out with insightful startup buddies, where the exchange is as loose as it is informative. Tuning into this podcast means getting a candid education in business building, one grounded in lived experience rather than theory, where the lessons are found in the raw details of what actually happened.
