In the latest episode of Turning Tables, host and growth strategist, Kathleen Wood, and her guest, Brant Menswar, entrepreneur, author and speaker. He is also CEO of Booky Call the world’s first book discovery app and co-host of the wildly popular podcast, Thoughts that Rock as well as author of the book Black Sheep.
Menswar spent twenty years in the music business with two different bands, two record deals and toured the world. He talks about making a change and he says, “I found myself with an opportunity to say gosh if I could help other people discover what matters most to them including myself, we could avoid these scenarios when when life throws you a curveball get yourself on a solid foundation to make great decisions and that's what sort of led me on the journey to write Black Sheep.”
Menswar explains Black Sheep and says it is a metaphor. He adds, “I was 47 years old when someone finally took the time to explain to me why farmers don't value black sheep like the rest of the flock and you know I think most of us when we think black sheep think of an outcast of some kind. And the truth is that farmers don't value black sheep like the rest of the flock because a black sheep's wool cannot be dyed so in effect every black sheep is 100% authentically original.”
Wood and Menswar talk about taking his book to the next level by helping companies and organizations to find their flock of five values to create high performing teams and culture. Wood says,”I happen to personally believe that culture undeniably is one of the greatest competitive advantages that any business or organization can have.”
“There is a video that I absolutely love,” Menswar says about the rehearsal video from the Greatest Showman. He adds, “the movie was the Greatest Showman and this was a rehearsal where the cast was singing a song for the financiers to try to get this movie financed to to get a green lit.”
