Marty's spent a lifetime meeting challenges head on, succeeding in three professions, anticipating crisis, and leading through chaos. Background When he left the SEAL Teams, he joined UBS as an investment professional (7 years) focused on high net worth individuals. Seventy-five percent of his clients were self-made entrepreneurs and half had no college education. Marty learned many lessons regarding what success looks like, and what attributes are shared by successful people. He left the financial services industry to build business divisions in small, rapidly scaling companies. This involved defining market value, working with M&A pros, and buying or selling business units or companies. It also involves organizational design and scaling strategies (IT tool and processes implementation, integrating software, hardware, and talent solutions) to meet demand or new external challenges to doing business. Marty is currently the CEO of four companies within an ESOP enterprise structure. He writes about these experiences, how to achieve a winning mindset, and leadership lessons learned, in his book Be Nimble: How the Creative Navy SEAL Mindset Wins on the Battlefield and in Business. The book was released January 1, 2022. The sequel, Be Visionary: Strategic Leadership in the Age of Optimization, is set for release December 2, 2022. https://martystrongbenimble.com/ IAmRefocusedRadio.com Like I Am Refocused Radio?
