About this Podcast:   

"A business podcast series

Host Mark Graban (author of books including Measures of Success and Practicing Lean) interviews business leaders who share reflections about their “favorite mistake.”

Our greatest learnings come from our mistakes and failures. Some mistakes end up opening new doors, while some are just learning opportunities that provide a foundation for future growth and success. This podcast is not a cliché job interview question… it's a real conversation. After listening, we hope listeners will pause and think about mistakes they have made that have shaped and influenced who they are.

We discuss this and how to create an organizational culture where it's safe to talk about mistakes, in the spirit of continuous improvement, instead of blaming and shaming or beating ourselves up. This podcast will also appeal to those who work with the “Lean” methodology, as you'll recognize the value of learning from mistakes and encouraging this in a workplace.

In today's episode, Brent tells his “favorite mistake” story about how trusting his dad, who had already been convicted for fraud, led to him getting into a lot of hot water with the feds… with many lessons learned in the process that he's kind enough to share with us today.

We talk about that story and other topics including:

• Was your dad forthcoming about that first conviction?
• Was the CNBC story that accurate?
• Crimes and intent vs mistakes??
• What the five rules that helped you survive prison that can be used in everyday life?
• What happens when your worst fear becomes your reality? Nothing is ever as bad as your mind makes it out to be.
• What has your life been like since you got out of prison?"

About this Podcast:

"As we go into the 2021 Holiday season Thanksgiving has a special meaning for me.  Connecting with Brent Cassity and his beautiful wife Julie has made me appreciate the loving-kindness that comes with knowing someone and not allowing the whispers of others to infect your thoughts.  Life may not be exactly as this couple had planned when they met as Tweens, but they are resilient and they are an inspiration for many.  Brent's podcast can be found at Nightmare Success In and Out https://podcasts.apple.com/.../nightmare.../id1588287560 - His story is not fiction - Take It All In - Consider working with your Representatives to Change the Laws and the Conditions of our Prison System - We must train and attempt to reform those that have errored - We must not treat FELONS as Caged Animals."

 About this podcast:

 "When I invited Brent Cassity to be my guest on Avoid the Maze - I chose to know as little about him so I could have him share his story with you our listeners and I could react to it in real-time. This is the format I use for most of our podcasts but I was very glad I took this journey with him. 

Brent inspired me and I hope he will inspire you as well - he got caught up in white-collar crime and served time for it. Listen to what he has to share and let us learn from the mistakes of others. We do not have to recreate the wheel as he states but we must allow ourselves to be educated and aware of what we are involved in. It is easy to trust someone who you think has all the answers - but are their answers the correct ones?"
