The Battle with Change - Kieron James - Chief Endurance Officer with Greg McDonough - Episode # 078

Chief Endurance Officer

Welcome to another exciting episode! Today’s guest is a true champion of resilience and innovation. Introducing Kieron James, Co-Founder & CEO of Wonderful. Kieron joins host Gregory McDonough to share insights on the power of endurance, both physically and mentally, and how it plays a crucial role in achieving significant accomplishments.

Takeaways:

• Embrace endurance both physically and mentally. Recognize that significant achievements often require sustained effort over time, whether in physical activities like running and yoga or in professional endeavors.
• Understand that business ventures often take longer than anticipated to succeed. Prepare for and accept delays, instead of getting discouraged, and maintain a long-term vision.
• When introducing revolutionary technology focus on educating your market. Clearly communicate the benefits and address habitual behaviors and resistance to change.
• Incorporate regular physical activity and mindfulness practices into your routine. Activities like yoga and running can significantly improve mental clarity and problem-solving skills, aiding professional productivity.
• Be flexible with your plans and recognize when to adapt. Over-training or overworking can be counterproductive; it’s essential to listen to your body and mind and adjust accordingly.
• Anticipate regulatory and market changes and plan accordingly. For instance, the slower fintech fundraising market necessitated a more patient and strategic approach to expansion for Wonderful.

Quote of the Show:

• "Things always take longer than you anticipate. There's just an inevitability about that, but now I fully anticipate that with everything." - Kieron James
