#0056 – Using Hardships to Propel You Forward with Marie Cosgrove

Author: Jon S. Rennie February 7, 2021 Duration: 35:52
Today I’m joined by Marie Cosgrove. Twelve years ago, she was a single mother of four children when she was fired from her company because she “made too much” in commissions. Instead of becoming bitter, vengeful, or angry, she started her own company. Two years later, she acquired the company that fired her and built it into an internationally-recognized brand. She has a remarkable story which she shares in a new book called Greater Fortune which is available for preorder. I am excited to have her on the show to talk about her journey. We all face challenges in our personal and business life and I know you will be inspired by Marie’s story.  Marie Cosgrove Website Marie Cosgrove YouTube Greater Fortune: Essential Lessons from the Entrepreneur Who Bought the Company That Fired Her _____ Learn about my new book All in the Same Boat - Lead Your Organization Like a Nuclear Submariner Visit our sponsor Bottom Gun Coffee Company use the discount code "DEEP" Become a leader worth following today with these powerful resources: Purchase my bestselling leadership book "I Have the Watch: Becoming a Leader Worth Following" Subscribe to my leadership newsletter Follow Jon S Rennie on Twitter Follow Jon S Rennie on Instagram Follow Jon S Rennie on YouTube Learn more about your ad choices.

For anyone who’s ever felt that leadership advice can be too theoretical or disconnected from reality, Deep Leadership offers a grounded alternative. Host Jon S. Rennie operates from a simple, powerful belief: “Leadership is a People Business.” This isn’t about abstract concepts; it’s about the tangible, often messy work of guiding teams and organizations. Jon brings a unique perspective shaped by his time as a Cold War Submarine Officer and over two decades leading within Corporate America before founding his own manufacturing company. In each episode, he translates that extensive experience into practical, actionable insights you can apply immediately. The conversations here delve into the core of what makes leadership work-or fail-across business, culture, and society. You’ll hear from Jon and a variety of expert guests as they explore the philosophical and practical dimensions of guiding people, discussing everything from daily management challenges to broader cultural forces that shape how we work. This podcast is built on the conviction that leadership matters profoundly, and that getting it right requires depth, reflection, and a relentless focus on the human element. Tune in for thoughtful discussions that cut through the noise and get to the heart of leading well.
