What do you do to get under the layer to really get down to those lower levels? Is it just follow-up questions, mindset, worldview, and how that works for you? How'd you get this job anyway? What are things like around here? What did your boss do before they were your boss? Wow did you end up with this job? Why are questions such a big part of This is Strategy? If you had to charge ten times as much as you charge now, what would you do differently? If it had to be free, what would you do differently? Who's it for, and what's it for? What is the change we seek to make? How did you choose the questions for The Strategy Deck? How big is our circle of us? How many people do I care about? Is the change we're making contagious? Are there other ways to gamify the use of questions? Any other thoughts on how questions might be gamified?

What have we done to so delight our core customers that they're telling other people? How has your international circle informed your life of questions? What do I believe that other people don't believe? What do I see that other people don't see? What do I take for granted that other people don't take for granted? What would blank do? What would Bob do? What would Jill do? What would Susan do? What happened to them? What system are they in that made them decide that that was the right thing to do? And then how do we change the system? How given the state of the world, do you manage to continue to care as much as you do? Do you walk to school or take your lunch?

Welcome to the premiere of the "I Own It Podcast," where we dive into the minds of business leaders and innovators to uncover the strategies that have propelled them to success. Today, we're sitting down with Jeffrey Hayzlett, a renowned business mogul and thought leader, to explore the concept of leverage and its pivotal role in his career. Episode Highlights: Jeffrey Hayzlett provides a comprehensive definition of leverage, describing it as the strategic utilization of various resources—such as capital, power, and influence—to achieve one's objectives more effectively and efficiently. He recalls his early experiences with leveraging resources during his childhood, where he enlisted other kids to help him mow lawns, showcasing his innate talent for strategic thinking and resource management. A central theme of Hayzlett's approach to leveraging is creating mutually beneficial scenarios. He stresses the importance of ensuring that all parties involved derive value, underscoring the role of power and influence in crafting successful outcomes. The conversation takes an intriguing turn as Hayzlett shares how his appearance on "The Apprentice" served as a leverage point to boost his career. He discusses strategically featuring a Kodak product during the show, which not only increased the brand's visibility but also opened doors to numerous opportunities in television, consulting, and branding. Offering insight into his strategic mindset, Hayzlett advises listeners on starting with the end goal in mind, understanding the needs and challenges of the other party, and devising solutions that address those needs to achieve success through leverage. The episode wraps up with an exploration of how effectively applying the concept of leverage can profoundly influence one's career trajectory and personal brand, particularly in the competitive business landscape.
