60 Days Down to 60 Minutes Changed How Shelton Thinks About His Own Team

What if the key to unlocking your team's potential wasn't hiring better people, but simply removing the friction slowing them down? Shelton Mercer III joins Sean to share how a shift from a 60-day process to a 60-minute one completely reframed how he thinks about the people around him and what they're truly capable of. You'll hear Shelton break down why power is less about authority and more about influence, how bringing together leaders from government, capital markets, and philanthropy in the same room creates a parity that cuts through political gridlock, and why framing collaboration around shared geography rather than competing agendas is what actually moves things forward. If you've ever wondered whether the systems your team works within are the real bottleneck, this conversation will make you think twice about where you're looking for solutions.──────────────────────────────────────────────────────📚 NETWORK BEFORE YOU NEED IT (6 LESSONS THAT MADE SEAN $15M)──────────────────────────────────────────────────────Get my brand new eBook free - https://welivetobuild.com/network──────────────────────📋 WORK WITH ME──────────────────────▶ Buy 300 Lessons From 300 Founders: https://welivetobuild.com/300-lessons-ebook▶ Sponsor the Channel: https://www.welivetobuild.com/sponsorship──────────────────────🔗 CONNECT WITH SEAN──────────────────────▶ LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/seanweisbrot▶ Inquiries: [email protected]──────────🕐 CHAPTERS──────────00:00 - Philanthropy Is Limited, Government Is Broken01:25 - The Power Shift Redefining Who Leads02:01 - Using the World Cup to Unlock City Change07:56 - One City, One Day, 100 Leaders08:34 - How Activate's AI Cuts 60 Days to 60 Minutes15:50 - AI Took My Designer's Job — Now What?19:21 - Upskilling Your Team Instead of Cutting Them28:05 - Pencils of Promise and Community Buy-In36:07 - The Three Traits Every Leader Needs38:00 - Mentor Told Me to Finish Some IshLeave a Review (it truly helps us grow): https://welivetobuild.com/review Hosted on Acast.
