What happens when an entrepreneur stops chasing plans—and starts building momentum instead?
In this episode, Jeffrey Hayzlett, Chairman of the C-Suite Network, former Fortune 100 CMO, media executive, and serial entrepreneur, shares his unfiltered journey from early entrepreneurship to Kodak, Bloomberg, Celebrity Apprentice, and building one of the largest trusted executive networks in the world.
We talk about leadership, time protection, media as a business strategy, family, health, mentorship, and why success comes from focusing on hearts and minds—not just scale.
What you’ll learn:
• Why most careers aren’t planned—and why that’s okay
• How Jeffrey built and sold hundreds of companies
• Why leaders must guard their time relentlessly
• The shift from “spray and pray” marketing to community
• How family, health, and mentors shaped his leadership
