Mike Metcalf and Shaun Peet: 12 Second Culture - NASCAR Pit Crews & Business Leadership
In episode 122 of #thePOZcast, my guests Mike Metcalf and Shaun Peet and I dig into how they apply tenacity and authenticity to anything and everything they do. Mike and Shaun have spent years working in the field of NASCAR\u2019s pit crews, and now they\u2019re taking their ambition and drive into the world of business consultancy, as well as authorship. Their new book which they co-authored with Stephen Copeland is called \u201c12 Second Culture\u201d and it embodies the lessons they\u2019ve learned from Nascar and from life in general.\n\nMost of Shaun and Mike\u2019s day job boils down to tasks that they must perform within fractions of a second. These guys have learned how to simplify each movement, action, and bit of execution into the most optimal overall performance they can attain. Apply that to the world of business, and you\u2019ve got an opportunity for real, no frills growth potential.\n\nWe dive into that process, as well as some of the new challenges they\u2019ve taken on outside of the field. With all the recent attention that Nascar has been getting relating to social justice issues, Mike and Shaun give their take on how the organization is handling diversity from the ground up.\xa0\n\nI also get the chance to speak to Mike and Shaun about the importance of purpose in any field or arena, and how they personally vet their team members to determine if they\u2019re up to the job. We even get into their take on millennials hitting the workforce and how that affects and drives culture.\n\nTune in to hear more about Nascar, business, thrill-seeking and efficiency on this episode of The POZCast!\n\nIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review/rating: https://ratethispodcast.com/thepozcast \n\nThe POZCast is brought to you by our friends at Interseller - the prospecting + outreach platform of recruiters and sellers.
