E81: Climbing “Your Everest” - Personally and Professionally with Jeff Wagner

THE POWER OF REINVENTION with Kathi Sharpe-Ross

Jeff Wagner, owner of the Jeff Wagner Agency, is a long-time friend and business colleague. Jeff has over 30 years of experience in various industries - Hospitality, Tourism, Entertainment, Properties and was the Former VP of Worldwide Marketing for The Hard Rock Café and Casino.

After several big jumps in his career, Jeff Reinvented his life and has learned that being an entrepreneur can be both wonderful and a grind. Today Jeff has further defined his north star and discovered his love for the outdoors - finding “his Everest.” From hiking in Iceland to climbing his own “Everest,” the advice and wisdom that he shares in our conversation is a must-listen. He’s learned so much about himself in this journey and can pivot and apply this focus and dedication to all parts of his life.

Some powerful takeaways from today’s episode:

• Every day is a challenge and a victory
• Sometimes you have to dig in and start doing the work before you have a plan
• You are your own brand
• You need to nurture yourself - personally and professionally
• “I did not climb Everest. I climbed’ my Everest’.”
  • Let yourself try new things
  • One mountain at a time
• Have to let the strategy go, grow and change
• Figure out how to make what you are doing even better
  • Put your passions first
• The “Yes” person in you can take a backseat sometimes
