026 | Making difficult decisions as a leader, addressing racism in the workplace and creating a better future for those coming up behind you with Nathan Hall | PT2

PT 2: Our conversation is split into three parts – in this second mini episode, we talk about building your decision-making muscle, how he trusts his instincts and deciding to throw out the playbook as an entrepreneur.

Nathan Hall is a parent and the CEO of award-winning video marketing agency Simple Story and founder and CEO of Culture Check, an anti-racism support center for the workforce.

The next episode will feature the final part of our conversation, where we'll talk about the work he's doing to address racial discrimination and what he wishes someone would have told him before becoming a parent and entrepreneur.

THINGS WE TALK ABOUT: 

• Making difficult decisions under pressure in a leadership position 
• Cultivating the ability to trust in yourself and follow your beliefs
• Identifying your North Star, values and clarifying your vision
• Taking risks that only impact himself and how it has played out so far
• Getting comfortable with being the odd one out and going in a different direction
• Throwing out the playbook and testing things as an entrepreneur

Thanks to Nathan for speaking with us about parenthood and adapting his business during the pandemic!
