The Marriage Behind the Mission

Before we teach you anything, we want you to know who's teaching it. This is a sneak peek of Maximize the Moment ahead of our official launch in August — and in this first conversation, Tasha and Walter Carter turn the mic on each other. No framework, no lecture, just two founders getting real about the paths that shaped them and the marriage that carries it all.

Walter shares how military service, contracting, and coaching men and families forged the "governed leadership" at the heart of his book, I'm Different, I'm Governed. Tasha traces her journey from court reporting and captioning to becoming a Maxwell Leadership-certified coach, and the season of life that inspired her book, Becoming Unlimited.

Together, they open up about:

• What "governed leadership" really means — and why it starts with conviction, not impulse
• How DISC became Maximized Growth's signature framework for self-awareness and connection
• The five domains of governance (mindset, spirit, resources, physical, systems) that anchor their marriage and business
• An honest, funny, and vulnerable look at their physical health journey as a couple
• Why they walked away from one podcast summit with three shows: Maximize the Moment, The Governed Life, and Becoming Unlimited

The Marriage Behind the Mission

Speaker 1 0:03

I go with the flow. What are they gonna tell me?

Speaker 0:06

All right, let's go.

Speaker 1 0:07

This is the intro. Okay.

Speaker 0:09

Ready? Communication opens the door. Leadership walks people through it. And growth is what happens when the right relationships are built on the other side.

Speaker 1 0:24

Welcome to Maximize the Moment, the podcast from Maximized Growth, where we help leaders and organizations turn communication, development, and relationships into real, measurable growth. I'm Walter Carter.

And I'm Tasha Carter. Together we're your host, business partners, husband and wife, and the team behind Maximized Growth.

Speaker 1 0:44

Each episode, we open a real moment, hand you the principle behind it, and give you the practical move to meet it.

Episode

Meet Walter & Tasha: Backgrounds & Governed Leadership

Speaker 1 0:56

Meet the leadership team behind Maximized Growth. People think you build a company with a plan. You built it with a decision, usually one you make before you're ready. Before we teach you anything, we want you to know who's teaching it. Today there's no framework and no lecture, just the two of us turning the mic on each other.

Speaker 1:17

That's right. And I'm going to interview Walter. Walter's going to interview me, and by the end, you'll know exactly who's behind maximized growth and why communication, leadership, and relationships are at the heart of everything that we do. All right, Walter. Before maximized growth, before any of this, who were you and what were you doing?

Speaker 1 1:38

Well, I'd like to say that I was a man being shaped by the military service and gathering what it meant to be responsible. The Army taught me discipline. Contracting taught me how to be precise in my precision and precision making. And coaching men and families taught me what it meant to connect with people in real time. That's pretty much what it is that I was doing at the beginning.

Speaker 2:05

So that's really good. Your book is called I'm Different, I'm Governs. So for everybody listening, what does govern leadership actually mean to you?

Speaker 1 2:15

Governed leadership means I don't move from impulse, applause, or emotion. I move from conviction. It's a leadership anchored in principles that don't shift when pressure shows up. Governed means I'm led by something higher than preference or purpose, but it's discipline and spiritual anchoring and alignment. It's this type of leadership that is it's intentional and acquainted with accountability. And that's how I see it.

Speaker 2:45

So when I think about leadership, I think about you, you ooze leadership. So when did you know leadership was the thing, the work that you actually wanted to do, what you wanted to give your life to?

Speaker 1 2:58

That's a great question. It kind of clicked when I saw people change because of the level of impact that I was presenting and promoting when we were engaging in conversation or dialogue or when questions were prompted inside of what it is that they were trying to accomplish. I really leaned in because there was a level of coach in me before I even knew that's what I was doing that just exuded from me. So I kind of leaned into it the more and more I was doing it.

Speaker 3:31

And so our listeners are listening to us now, getting to know us. What do you want the listener listening right now to know about how you lead and how are your difference?

Speaker 1 3:41

I lead with a creed, clarity over chaos. Many years ago, I was anchored in a particular scripture, Proverbs 4 and 7, where it says wisdom is the principal thing. Seek wisdom, but in all that getting gaining understanding. So understanding and clarity were the relationships of how I showed up so that I could perform that in all of my thinking and relationships that I was building.

Speaker 4:06

Okay.

Speaker 1 4:06

Now it's my turn. Tasha, you didn't start in leadership development. Take us back to your court reporting days, your captioning in your first company.

Speaker 4:16

I actually started my career as a court reporter and a captioner, capturing spoken word in real time and turning that into text for people really who couldn't have access to it otherwise. And when I founded that company and built out the captioning arm, which I was serving deaf and hard of hearing community, that worked. It scaled to six figures literally in the first year. But more than the revenue, it really taught me something that I still carry today. And that is precision matters. And so does presence. When you're captioning live for someone who's relying only on the words that you're producing, there's a connection there that you have to pay attention to what's being said in the room. And here's the thing: you learn to listen at a different level. Right, right. And most people don't understand that that's a skill, the deep, accurate listening, that's the foundation. And here's the thing for everything, not just business. I mean, you and I know this for marriage, for relationships, and for leadership developments. So before I coached a leader on communication, I was actually being groomed and trained to hear on a different level for communication purposes. And the thing I always say, God doesn't waste anything.

Speaker 1 5:36

Very nice. Very nice. Your book, Becoming Unlimited, where did that title come from? What were you thinking when you decided upon that title?

Speaker 5:46

So basically, the title came from a season in my own life where I realized how many limits that I was living inside that weren't real. They were inherited. And I know somebody's gonna understand when I say this because you can believe that you can achieve something, but at the same time, feel like you're not allowed to have it. Feel like that success is not meant for you, that it's meant for other people. So you go through life supporting people and people pleasing, only to feel like I'll never be able to have or never be able to experience. So for me, a lot of this was traced back to my own stories about the capability that I was feeling in the moment, my worth, my place. Becoming unlimited is the moment that I decided to stop operating from someone else's ceiling and really start building from my own potential instead. And so the book, Becoming Unlimited, it's all about having no limits. It's about identifying your potential, about identifying the life that you want, the life that you're gonna achieve, and not asking for permission, but knowing that you get to be a victor, because that's what you tell me all the time. You get to be a victor. So that's where it came from.

Speaker 1 7:07

Let me see. What else should I be asking about you in this season that we're in? One of the things that I've noticed and that we're doing and we're doing more of is that we like to include disc and disc assessment and valuing people and anchoring them in their identity.

The DISC Assessment

Speaker 1 7:27

Tell us about disc and how that has become our signature.

Speaker 7:31

Oh my goodness. So when I first took the disc assessment myself and I learned how I'm wired, that was a game changer for me because at the end of the day, it's a practical framework, almost like a directory to understand you, your learning style, your communication style, as well as a way to understand others. And so for me, it was a no-brainer to be able to pay this forward. So I love becoming a disc consultant because when you're in a position of leadership, when you when I say you have to be self-aware and others aware at the same time, it's a no-brainer. And so disc is a way to help you learn your behavior, learn your your motivators, learn again all of the things that that are you, it's data. And once a leader can read that data, they stop taking things personally, they stop misreading intent and start actually connecting. But even if they do, even if they misunderstand, even if there's a disconnection, it's also a tool to help us to learn how to recover faster from it, too. And it's a great way to build trust. And from a leader's standpoint, that's everything.

Speaker 1 8:49

That's beautiful. That's beautiful. One of the things that I think is spectacular about the dynamic that we have is that we cover the spectrum of disk. You being a DI and I being a CDS. Come on now. We cover we cover the spectrum. So that's a beautiful

What We're Most Proud Of

Speaker 1 9:06

thing. When you look at maximized growth today, what are you most proud of that we've accomplished in the last three years?

Speaker 9:15

I would say the lives that we touch, the lives that we can actually see the transformation. You can point to a spreadsheet in business and you can see the dollars, you can see the growth. But when I say the lives that we've impacted, that's what I'm most proud of. And I'm even prouder because we say this all the time. We get to do this from the overflow. So when we're touching lives, it's not just because we read something in a book. It's not just because we've seen it on social media. It's because we believe in transformation and we get to pay transformation forward to other people. And to me, that makes what we do most fulfilling, that we are called to do this, that we are changing lives. And here's the thing: we're still growing ourselves.

Speaker 1 10:06

That's right. That's right. I'm intrigued by what it is that in this season of life, in this season of maximized growth, you know, I see max maximized growth as my adopted son. And so where we're going, you know, I want him to grow up, you know, him being almost 14 years old. I want to see him get to be of age and be developed, that the systems that are in place are working for us and not against us. So I pose this question to you.

Marriage & Business: Keeping the Fire Burning

Speaker 1 10:39

As a husband and a wife running a company together and wanting to be married and stay married, what things would you lend to couples doing this this way to keep the fire burning, the friction low, and body what it is that we're doing, you know, to accomplish an end?

Speaker 11:00

I feel like we should have started the whole podcast with this question. Amen.

Speaker 1 11:04

Amen.

Speaker 11:05

Okay, so I'm gonna start with a story because you know I'm a storyteller, right? So we were just at my mom's house this past weekend, and we were talking to my brother about something, and my stepdad was looking at both of us, going back and forth in this dialogue in a healthy way. And the words that he shared is gonna answer your question. He said, It's like I'm looking at the same person when you said something and I said something, and he said, Y'all have the same voice.

Speaker 1 11:37

Amen.

Speaker 11:38

That right there said everything to me because what he saw was the culmination of the hours that you and I have spent talking and not just about business, but talking, getting to know each other, communicating about everything. Nothing is off limits. But I think also that we value systems and processes. And even in our marriage, there's been a system and a process for how we function. And what I believe has been healthy is that both of us have been on a journey individually of growth, of healing, that we have surrendered to God and God has led us together. What has happened is our coming together, and we now are getting a chance to have an iron sharpened iron relationship with each other. It didn't start with business, but I'm gonna say this. We both answered a call. We both both have purpose to this, and the explosion of this is we get to do business together too, and we get to share. And I said this already from the overflow, but people don't know is that even after we get through training, even after we get through talking and doing a workshop or whatever, we go home and we still love on each other, we still nurture each other, we still get to know each other, and we're still doing it. And I just think that's the most beautiful thing in the world. We ride the work together, we ride home together, and we also respect each other.

Speaker 1 13:18

Yeah. But something about what it is that we do and what we're doing with others that I think is the biggest thing and the most special thing is everything is anchored in your identity and the relationships that we get to form and build, even to the point of understanding the methodology and ideology and approach of what it is that we're doing and how we're advocating and how we're increasing our territory and empowering others, and just scaling as a business like that, um, just setting goals, and and none of the goals are are really about money. It's about fulfillment. It's about fulfillment. And and that that aspect of what it is that we're we're doing, I feel engaged to something larger and bigger than us. Absolutely. So and I think about our marriage, the institution of marriage, just something that's ordained and blessed of God, that we are operating systematically. We're building relationships, we're operating and utilizing the five domains of governance so that we understand each other's mindset.

The Five Domains of Governance

Speaker 14:28

So talk about the five domains, just in case somebody hasn't had a chance to listen to the Govern Life podcast.

Speaker 1 14:35

Well, the five domains of governance, you know, mindset is an aspect that we have a need to have a relationship with so that we don't find ourselves with a fixed mindset, but one that is of growth and one that is always creating levels of alignment because frequently we can be misaligned and we are bumping our head up on a ceiling that was never created for us. But when we put our right mind in the right way and we operate with our now faith about what it is that we get to do, the ceiling is the sky. So that's one domain. Our second domain is spirit governance. Spirit governance is a domain where we operate, where we're again anchored in our identity of who we are and whose we are. And when we know that there's a level of fulfillment about how we're going to strategically align ourselves with his word. And I may have said that one second, but that was paramount. The third are resources. And resources are an aspect of what things in our community, what things are we utilizing that allow us to scale. And one of those resources that are paramount in that lane are relationships. And so one of the things that I wish that I had learned how to be more strategic with early on in my life and understood the value of relationships. And not that I did people wrong or I put people in a bad position, but knowing how to connect and win and advocate strategically. Strategically would have advanced my career long before I experienced the hurt of relationships. And that's a whole aspect of things that I will be covering throughout my podcast and connecting people with the different ways to be governed. Fourth, on the domains that I think is extremely important to know and be connected with is the physical body. This body is the temple of God and how we operate and utilize to strengthen it is something that you just can't just throw to the wind. You know, taking care of this body, being physical and physically fit is something that we it doesn't happen to us accidentally. It's an intentional aspect of what it is that we're doing. And because the one day away from being able to do and fulfill your call is away from being able to empower someone. You don't always know what your assignment is, although you may always know what your purpose is, and sickness and being acquainted with not being able to take care of yourself. You just don't want to be in that situation. School governance is something that you have to be mindful. Showing up to the doctor, getting your checkups, taking care of exercise, nutrition, all those things factor in and they matter. Now, lastly and definitely not least is systems. The things that that allow us to be successful from day to day and what's what protocols are necessary, that we are strategically aligning ourselves to be in a position to win and advocate for predictable outcomes. I can't speak on that between relationships and systems. If you don't get anything from being governed, that you get those two things because they matter. They matter, they matter. That's not suggesting that the other domains, because the absence of mindset and the absence of physical governance and the absence of spiritual governance, those other things are gonna run among.

Speaker 18:10

Okay, so let me recap that because I always like to take what you do and make it personal. I'm gonna review what you said. Okay, so mindset, and I'm gonna go back to the question that you asked about how are we able to be married and be in business together. Okay, so mindset. Number one, I feel like, and I told you this before, that I feel like there was, I had to have a mindset before I could even come and be in relationship with you. There was a mindset of growth, a mindset of healing, a mindset of abundance. And I had to own that for myself, just like you had to own that for yourself. And us working on that individually, I think that has helped us to come closer. One, to be able to be attracted to each other, wouldn't you say? Oh, yeah. And then to also be in relationship with each other, which is the next one. And I'm not saying these in any order, okay?

Speaker 1 19:03

But it also helps us identify and wrestle with conflict and get over conflict a little bit easier with the right mindset because the level of alignment that we have, posturing of our mind, it's about not necessarily being right, but getting it right. Yeah. The mindset of how we're gonna posture to have the level of alignment with the mission and vision, what it is that we're trying to accomplish. Yeah. So it's not about me, it's not about you, it's about what we're trying to accomplish. Right. And I think a lot of people miss it. That is the intent for marriage.

Speaker 19:37

Yeah.

Speaker 1 19:37

Yeah.

Speaker 19:38

Yeah. Okay, so mindset, yes, that's the first. Okay. And then I'm just gonna go in random order for how remember, okay. So then that does speak to relationship because honestly, if I had a mindset of lack or a victim mindset, I wouldn't be able to receive from you. And so there was some healing that had to take. We both have been married before. There was some healing that had to take place in order to get to a level of readiness for this relationship. Okay. And so that's one of them. And that might be a whole podcast episode by itself. But then I'm thinking spiritual, which I agree with you, that does trump everything because my relationship with God is so important. Your relationship with God is so important, and that's what we have in common is we believe that our whole lives are surrendered to God and God has purpose plans, assignments for us. But without that alignment, I couldn't handle this. You know, I couldn't handle being an entrepreneur, I couldn't handle being a mom. I couldn't handle just being me because I know at the end of the day, that is my foundation.

Speaker 1 20:55

That's right.

Speaker 20:55

You know? Okay, we said mindset, we said spiritual, we said relationship, and then

Physical Health Journey

Speaker 21:00

physical. We gotta talk about physical because you and I, when we first got married, we were in good shape. We were in great shape individually. Individually. You were going to the gym by yourself. You actually saw me at the gym. That's right. I was going to the gym. I had a trainer, I was on a mission, you know. I was fit. I was I had a routine. You had a routine. I had our eating regimen.

Speaker 1 21:23

And then we got together.

Speaker 21:24

And then we got together. What happened?

Speaker 1 21:26

We we fell off. We took our eye off the prize.

Speaker 21:31

Because we both individually were doing it. We got together. We were in love.

Speaker 1 21:35

And we were aligned in our love, but we weren't aligned in our physical governance. And it took us off course. I don't I don't even want to tell them.

Speaker 21:45

I'm gonna tell them myself.

Speaker 1 21:47

40 pounds.

Speaker 21:50

You gained 40 pounds?

Speaker 1 21:51

No, you did. I gained I gained 50. I gained 50.

Speaker 21:56

Wait, hold on, let me do the math.

Speaker 1 21:58

No, I gained 40 pounds. Gain 50.

Speaker 22:01

First of all, I'm trying to calculate my own self. Okay, so I did gain some weight. I just know that when we went on, when we finally went on our honeymoon in December, and we were in Miami, Florida, and I remember being in the dressing room, and I almost wanted to cry because the number on that, those jeans that I had to buy that I'd never been in my entire life.

Speaker 1 22:28

You were in double digits.

Speaker 22:30

Yeah. First of all, that part. But the double digits that I was in, I was about to go to the next dimension.

unknown 22:38

Yeah.

Speaker 22:39

And I was like, what in the world? And so I was thinking to myself, after this, because this is December, I said, I need to do something. But I didn't know you were thinking it too.

Speaker 1 22:51

Yeah. One of the things that I'm proud of is that my body, my physical governance from 18 to 48, I was in great shape. The more after 40, you know, as a man, your body is changing, your metabolism is changing. And 48, I started to really feel it. When I crossed over 50, there was no doubt my metabolism was not in the same place, but neither was my exercise regimen.

Speaker 23:22

Yeah.

Speaker 1 23:23

And so I needed to start restructuring some things. So from 50 to the time that I met you, I think that I was up and down from 225 to 245. And then COVID hit. And then in the year of COVID, I was 51. And in the year of COVID, I had gotten back down to 235. And I said, going into 2021, I'm going to fine-tune this thing and be fine all over again. That's what I told myself.

Speaker 24:00

Yeah.

Speaker 1 24:01

And I got to a point to where I said, you know, I'm going to do better. And I fluctuated some more. I got all the way up to 257. Mind you, I I had two other businesses going as well as running someone else's business. So I was about my business, but I wasn't about my father's business.

Speaker 24:21

Yeah.

Speaker 1 24:22

And so I had to change some things. So I got back in the gym and I restructured some things and I got back down to 235. And then we connected. Yes. And we started eating good.

Speaker 24:37

Because you cooked cooked so good that I retired. I don't cook anymore. Because I mean, you just you got it.

Speaker 1 24:45

We were eating good.

Speaker 24:46

Yeah, yeah. You we were.

Speaker 1 24:48

How many days er day?

Speaker 24:50

Every day. And I was eating. Ear day. Every day. So silly. You were cooking like a gourmet chef. Yeah. And I'm going to be real honest. I got up to almost like I was. Okay. I was I was a 6'8. Now I was on my physical journey and I had lost weight, but then I gained, so I was settled at a 6'8, but I got up to a size 16. And that dress that I had to wear for that thing we went to was size 18. And I had to put on a size almost 20. And I was like, oh my God.

Speaker 1 25:28

Yeah.

Speaker 25:28

What happened?

Speaker 1 25:29

Well, let me who am I? You know, we were growing. We were growing financially. We were growing physically. We were growing mentally. And we were in love too. And emotionally. We were growing. But the what did your doctor say?

Speaker 25:45

Oh yeah. He said I went to the physical and he said, stay happy, but lose the weight.

Speaker 1 25:52

So I got to 275 and I was looking at myself. Now I wasn't now the number sounds big and I was big, but I wasn't sloppy.

Speaker 26:04

That's true. I mean, we look good still.

Speaker 1 26:07

But when I say that, you know, I didn't want to incur any health issues.

Speaker 26:12

Well, I think that's the thing, because I was starting to feel physically like I was aching, I was hurting, I was out of breath. Now, this is really sad. What we do for a living, we were standing in front of people, and I just remembered a couple of times speaking and losing my breath while I'm speaking in front of people. I'm like, we're professional speakers. I have to make sure that people understand that. Like we do this for a living.

Speaker 1 26:40

And for me, you know, I I just got to a place to where it's like I I remember when. And it's like to be a soldier, a contractor, and teach wellness and then fall off. Literally fell off.

Speaker 26:55

Yeah.

Speaker 1 26:55

I felt some type of way. I felt like I had a my identity was not who I said that I was anymore.

Speaker 27:02

Yeah.

Speaker 1 27:03

And that meant something to me. Yeah. You know, I'm grateful that I don't have any health issues, praise God.

Speaker 27:10

Yeah.

Speaker 1 27:10

And I didn't want any. I know that obesity is acquainted with a lot of health issues. When we sat down and talked about we're going to be strategic, we're going to get over this hump.

Speaker 27:22

Well, that's where systems governance came in. That's right. Now we were already operating in systems governance. It's just that's an area that we neglected. That's right. And so I think we already knew how to, to be honest, and I think somebody needs to understand this. We picked back up the healthy habits that we already knew and we went to work.

Speaker 1 27:42

That's right.

Speaker 27:43

You know, and so now I'm happy to say I'm back, y'all. I'm me. That's right. And I'm still working on me.

Speaker 1 27:49

Tell them how many pounds you're down.

Speaker 27:51

Well, you knew how many I gained, how many did I lose? 50.

Speaker 1 27:55

You down 50, and I'm down 65. I'm down 65 pounds. I can honestly say on today that I am 210 pounds.

Speaker 28:06

You look amazing.

Speaker 1 28:06

Bless you. Bless you.

Speaker 28:09

This is every day, right?

Speaker 1 28:11

Amen.

Speaker 28:11

Ain't God good? He is good. And I just, to me, I'm grateful. And I know this isn't the conversation that we started with, but I'm glad that we're having this conversation because I think people do need to hear the story behind the married couple who's running maximized growth that we're not just out here just trying to put on, that we really are living a maximized growth life.

Speaker 1 28:38

Yeah, every day.

Speaker 28:39

Every single day. And I'm so grateful. It's fulfilling. You know, I have peace, I have joy, and I don't even feel like the same person. I don't look like the same person. I have changed. You know, there's a meme that's on social media, and it's a caterpillar and a butterfly, and it looks like they're sitting across from each other having them having lunch or coffee or something. And the caterpillar looks at the butterfly and says, You've changed. And then the butterfly says, I know. And that's how I feel. Like people who knew me then, they don't know me now. I'm not the same, Tasha. I'm Tasha Carter. Amen. I am not the same. And I'm so grateful.

Speaker 1 29:23

You feel like a Shabbat again. Amen.

Speaker 29:27

But what I'm also grateful for is that you and I are purpose partners and that we get to do this life together and we're impacting lives, not just our external customers, but our internal customers too. And so this is the first podcast of many.

The Maximized Growth Podcast Lineup

Speaker 29:45

I keep going back to the word maximize because when we went to a podcast summit last week, we went thinking that this Maximize the Moment was going to be the only podcast that we were planning for. And we walked away with three. We got triplets. We have The Governed Life, hosted by Walter Carter, Walter Coach Carter.

Speaker 1 30:05

I'm different. I'm governed.

Speaker 30:07

Yes. And it's based off your book that's literally about to come out. We have Becoming Unlimited, which is the transformation of Tasha. And it's literally, it's my fourth book, but it's really my first book because I'm going to be talking about how to become unlimited and how to stay on the course for who you are without apology, but knowing that you're purposed by God and it's okay to love yourself and like yourself and to become everything that God imagined that you could be. That's right. And then this maximize the moment. This is where you and I get to come together and have a conversation. And I can't wait to see what comes from this.

Speaker 1 30:57

And we have our podcast, our individual podcast as well.

Speaker 31:00

That's what I just said. The Governed Life by Walter Carter.

Speaker 1 31:05

About the book. I was thinking about the book. So you are correct. I stand corrected.

Speaker 31:10

You say I don't listen, then you can't.

Speaker 1 31:12

No, no, no, no. Listen, I was thinking about what it is that I wanted to say. So you're right. I wasn't listening. Okay. I wasn't listening.

Speaker 31:19

Okay. Let me start over. The Governed Life by Walter Carter, Becoming Unlimited by Tasha Carter, and Maximize the Moment by Walter and Tasha Carter.

Speaker 1 31:30

Amen.

Speaker 31:31

And just in case anybody got confused in that little bit of moment, The Governed Life is based off of Walter's book, I'm Different, I'm Governed. Becoming Unlimited is actually the same title of my book. That's probably why you thought that. And then Maximize the Moment is where we get to come and have conversations about leadership, communication, relationships, all the things that you and I get to have a conversation together about.

Speaker 1 31:56

That's correct. Now I feel heard and understood. Bless the Lord.

Speaker 32:02

Is there anything that you want our listeners to know in this first episode about maximize the moment?

Speaker 1 32:11

I want our listening audience to know and understand that the reason why we are we do what it is that we do is that we like seeing people win. We like seeing businesses grow. We like seeing organizations thrive. We like seeing individuals come into the knowledge that they are a person of influence and that their perspective matters, their thoughts matter, the level of alignment of them becoming and being governed matters. It matters. We literally want people to know that you are a blessed somebody that gets to show up strong and be what you need to be for the solutions for the problems in the community. And you're important, you're special.

Speaker 33:18

That's good.

Speaker 1 33:19

I'm Different. I'm Governed. Amen.

Speaker 33:21

Amen. Amen. So become unlimited so you can Maximize the Moment.

Speaker 1 33:26

All of them. You see how you see all those taglines? All those taglines.

Speaker 33:31

Yes. Thank you. Thank you, Mike.

Speaker 1 33:34

Thank you.

Speaker 33:38

And that brings us to the end of today's conversation.

Speaker 1 33:42

But here's the thing about a moment. It doesn't do the work for you. What you do with it is what counts.

Speaker 33:48

So before you move on to whatever's next, take one thing from today. One idea, one shift, one decision, and actually put it to work.

Speaker 1 33:58

Because growth isn't reserved for the finish line.

Speaker 34:01

It happens right here in the moment.

Speaker 1 34:05

If this episode added value, do us a favor. Follow maximize the moment. Share it with a leader who needs it, and leave us a review.

Speaker 34:12

It's the simplest way to help us reach the next leader, the next team, the next organization ready to grow.

Speaker 1 34:20

New episodes every Wednesday.

Speaker 34:22

Until then, keep leading well, right where you are. Don't just live the moment.

Speaker 1 34:28

Maximize.
