Ep 215: Travis Hahler: How to Turn the Work That Lights You Up Into a Business

 
Travis Podcast
 

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE:

  • Why your first reaction to change is often wrong, and what to do the moment you want to push back

  • The six reasons your brain fights change, even good change: It breaks your routine, forces you to learn something new, leaves you out of the decision, keeps you guessing about what happens next, makes you anxious, or takes away something you value

  • How a hospital system rolled out a new system, watched it miss its metrics, and used the Rethink Resistance framework to beat the numbers where it started

  • How to build a company while holding a senior corporate role, and the first question you need to answer

  • The three decisions to make before you decide to build your own company

SHOW NOTES

Most companies pour enormous time into strategy and far less into what happens when they ask people to change. Travis Hahler built his company in that gap.

He has led transformation inside Google, Salesforce, and Deloitte, guided more than 100 organizations through change, and spoken to over 25,000 leaders on six continents.

In Webster, South Dakota, a town of 2,000, he watched his Mom give up her successful salon to buy a car dealership with his Dad. A big bet with no guaranteed outcome. They showed him what was possible.

The Neurological Nomad began as an Instagram handle. People started asking him to speak, and it became a business. He wrote his book, Rethink Resistance, from 8pm to 3am, after bath time and bedtime.

His framework for resistance: Feel it. Get curious. Name the barrier. Move through it.

One hospital system forced a new system on everyone at once, and its metrics plummeted. Travis took them through his Rethink Resistance framework, and the numbers climbed past where they started.

His motto on the NASDAQ billboard in Times Square: Get Curious Before You Get Certain.

Press play.
