In this episode of The Exceptional Sales Leader podcast, I welcome Bob Pizzini, an ex-Navy diver, current CEO, and leadership consultant, to share his insights on leveraging military experience in the business world. Bob brings to the table a diverse background, from being a Navy EOD technician to running a multimillion-dollar business. He discusses his journey, focusing on utilising his military-acquired skills to build and operate a unique venture like iFly Virginia Beach, a renowned indoor skydiving facility. We dive into the core principles of leadership learned from his military career, emphasising health and wellness as critical components of leadership success. He highlights the significance of fitness and recovery, which informed his leadership philosophy encapsulated in his book, “Elevate Your Leadership.” Bob elaborates on six essential elements: rest, hydration, nutrition, exercise, brain-heart link, and lifelong learning. These components serve as pillars for personal and professional high performance, elements frequently overlooked by many organisations and leaders in pursuit of immediate results.
