Scott and Mark have a free-flowing discussion touching on a wide range of topics, from leadership principles and parenting philosophies to self-care and finding meaning. With many years of leadership experience building their businesses and raising kids, they share stories and insight. A key theme is how adopting different mindsets or "alter egos" helps us connect with others and perform our roles, whether as a parent, spouse, boss or employee. Just as Superman puts on a costume, we portray different sides of ourselves.

TOPICS:

• The importance of adopting "alter egos" or different mindsets for different roles in your life. This helps with performance and connecting with others.
• Having clear policies and principles in business and parenting to make tough decisions easier. This provides consistency and prepares people for the real world.
• Being a leader involves making difficult decisions for the greater good, not just protecting your team. True leadership requires honesty and a willingness to take responsibility.
• The best leaders are often reluctant ones who take on the responsibility as needed, not those seeking glory and spotlight.
• To avoid burnout and "midlife crises", you need to find balance, purpose and self-awareness. Carve out time for your interests and self-reflection.
• Writing things down, like keeping a journal, can help provide direction when things get difficult and remind you of what really matters.
• Parenting is ultimately about preparing kids for the world, not overprotecting them. Kids need structure, consistency and honesty to develop into functional adults.

When Brian Moran was growing up, his father gave him a piece of advice that stuck with him: learn to sell. After playing collegiate baseball, studying marketing, and running two online businesses, Brian launched SamCart, an e-commerce shopping cart software that helps small businesses get their online stores up and running. SamCart made quite the splash — and proved Brian truly knew how to sell —  when it turned into a $1 million dollar business overnight.

In this episode, Brian chimes in on why friendships are invaluable when growing a business, why badly performing ads are nobody’s fault but your own, and how he’s designed a new type of signup funnel. Instead of pushing his traffic to a demo, Brian has a genius strategy where’s he’s effectively able to recover his marketing spend immediately, create a high-intent audience, and warm his audience through content.
