And hence, the current iteration of his professional life was born.
  • Business Service: Speaking, coaching, and author. Magnetizing and monetizing professional freedom. Up-leveling or reconnecting to your purpose.

If so, you've come to the right place. Gresham Harkness values your time and is ready to share with you precisely the information you're in search of. This is the I AM CEO podcast.

00:51 – Gresham Harkless

Hello. Hello. Hello. This is Gresh from the I AM CEO podcast. I have a very special guest on the show today. I have Scott Mason, the Myth Slayer. Scott, Super excited to have you on the show.

01:01 – Scott Mason

Thank you.

01:01 – Gresham Harkless

I'm thrilled to be here. Yes, excited to have you on and talk about all the awesome things that you're doing. And of course, before we do that, I want to read a little bit more about Scott so you can hear about some of those awesome things. Scott is the Miss Slayer, a speaker, author, podcaster, and coach who works with executives and successful entrepreneurs feeling stuck or stagnant in their careers or business and are ready for change. After graduating from Columbia Law School, Scott worked for over 20 years as an attorney and senior executive with a variety of organizations in the government and nonprofit sectors before growing and scaling a manufacturing company.

His insights on leadership and transformation have appeared in both book compilations and online magazines. He's hosted 3 podcasts, including one for Toastmasters International's Greater New York district and another for Scott Mason's Purposeful Highway, which was in the top 5% globally. Scott, super excited again to have you on the show, my friend. Are you ready to speak to the I AM CEO community?

[restrict paid=”true”]

01:56 – Scott Mason

I am excited to do so.

01:58 – Gresham Harkless

Awesome. Well, let's get it started then. So to kind of kick everything off, I wanted to rewind the clock here a little bit more on how you got started with all the awesome things, what I call your CEO story.

02:07 – Scott Mason

Thank you. So as you indicated in your bio, this is actually my fourth career. After I co-owned that manufacturing company, My business partner and I had different visions about where it should go in the future. I viewed this as my sort of fourth go around as an opportunity to really find and create a company that played to my strengths, that also could bring some visionary dialogue discussion and some new ways about thinking about being a leader or a CEO into that space. Hence the current iteration of my professional life was born.

02:43 – Gresham Harkless

Nice, I absolutely love that. And I think one of the beautiful things I think we sometimes forget is that we don't have to have just one set of careers. You get to kind of reinvent yourself. And I think that's tried and true just from a human aspect. The more you learn, the more you experience life, and the more you start to see different problems to tackle and different ways to reinvent yourself. And I think that in much the same way, it sounds like you've had the career that goes along with it.

03:05 – Scott Mason

It is absolutely the best. One of the things I like about doing that is that in each iteration, you move closer and closer to your core. And if you do it right, you move not only closer to your core, but you're able to more and more deeply connect your inner purpose, your values, and the non-negotiables in your life. And once you have all of that tied together, you can find true professional freedom. And that's a position I want anyone and everyone possible to be in, particularly if you're leading any sort of organization.

03:40 – Gresham Harkless

Yeah, that's so huge. And I love that you said, you know, each generation gets closer to your core. Cause you know, I've heard something very similar about design. And I think Steve Jobs has this quote where he talks about design as something you have to work at. And it kind of drew parallels of what you said, where through the process of life, you start to get closer to your core, your essence, to who you are and those values and all those things that are, you know, right in alignment with the essence of who you are.

04:05 – Scott Mason

Absolutely. It's interesting. My firm belief is that each of us was brought into the world and then through our life experiences, developed into a unique combination of native skills and talents, but then also experiences, as well as values. Now, no one's life is identical, nor are any of our genetics identical. So with that comes a high degree of individuation within every single person. The beauty of that is that that allows a high degree of individuation as to what we can bring out into the world as leaders, both personally and vis-a-vis the organizations that we work with.

Once we connect with that, if we're able to get right into that core and nail it and then externalize it in a way that's charismatic and magnetizes people, then we have that opportunity to fully actualize what we have been given all of these things for, which is to shift the world in our own ways. Maybe big, or it may be small, but a shift is a shift. Ripple effects can end up being gigantic.

05:17 – Gresham Harkless

Yeah, absolutely. And when you're able to ripple in the right way, obviously, you see that across many different lives, humans and so on and so forth, but also those generational ripples as well. So I absolutely love that. So I wanted to drill down a little bit more here a little bit more about your podcast, all the awesome things you're doing. So could you take us through the different and multiple ways that you serve and work with the clients you have?

05:39 – Scott Mason

Absolutely. So as you indicated in my bio, I'm a speaker as well as a coach, as well as an author. And all of the work that I do centers on the theme of magnetizing and monetizing professional freedom. Now that may be by upleveling your leadership so that you find exactly what we spoke about a few minutes ago, that core of yours that allows you to electrify the world as a leader. Or it may simply be working with people, particularly in large organizational contexts who feel disconnected from their purpose or alienated from their work. Sometimes it may mean that they need to shift career paths. Sometimes it may mean that they need to move into entrepreneurialism, whatever.

At the end of the day, I want them to find professional freedom. I do that through a signature program that teaches them how to magnetize and monetize, I'm sorry, that teaches them how to dislodge the toxic myths that they might be telling themselves that hold them back as well as igniting the charisma within. The lens through which I view that and the journey through which I take them is all rooted in Greek mythology, which as we know is timeless, universal, and if examined carefully in a leadership context, can take people in some amazing, unprecedented directions.

06:56 – Gresham Harkless

Yeah, I absolutely love that. I love that you use the word journey because I have this quote that I always say, if you run your own race, you can't lose. So in everything that you do, talking about the individualistic aspect that we have and the purpose and all of those things, it kind of resonates so much with that because I think when you start to kind of get closer to your core, as we've been talking about, and you really can understand that whether you're a leader at a high-level organization or your customer or client number of 555 at whatever organization, you have that purpose. And if you can tap into that and get rid of the stuff that can kind of hold you back from that, then you really can do some remarkable things.

07:39 – Scott Mason

Absolutely. One of the challenges that folks have sometimes is recognizing what that stuff is, let alone developing a framework within which they can conceptualize how these things are playing out in their lives. And that in particular is where I feel that Greek mythology is a useful tool. Studying Greek mythology, and mythology across the board, but Greek mythology in particular, I've been able to identify 5 toxic myth types that are represented in the myths themselves, but also are representative of stories that people tell themselves. In addition, there are 5 toxic roles within myths that even if you are living out a myth or telling yourself a story that's neutral can turn your journey into one that is negative.

So one of the very first things that we do is look at the narratives people are telling themselves. What mythological framework is it fitting into? Is it toxic what roles are you playing and are there 3 positive roles? And once they're in roles, they can find to rewrite a whole new book of mythology for their future. With that book, the new leg of their journey can begin.

08:56 – Gresham Harkless

Yeah, absolutely. I could definitely see that and understand the holistic aspect of those narratives of the people within the layers, not just sometimes that one side of the coin is so powerful. So I wanted to ask you now for what I call your secret sauce. And this could be for yourself, the organization, a combination of both, but I almost feel like the ability to be able to take that Greek history, the narratives, and that information, be able to kind of translate that so people can create that impact and change. Do you feel like that's part of your secret sauce?

09:27 – Scott Mason

I would say that is the secret sauce. It's changed my life. And I'm determined to bring the positive impact that has had on my life out into the world because there are a lot of folks out there who are feeling alienated, that are feeling disconnected. And that's a situation as the world accelerates from a business perspective more and more quickly into more and more complexity as well as deeper and deeper levels of specialization and personalization, particularly as automation continues to emerge. Who and what we are. Work can be something that folks feel utterly severed from.

They need and can benefit from the same sort of tool to connect them to what we mentioned earlier, that core, to find the right place for them. We all only get to live this particular life once. If there's a chance for people to move from alienation into profound self-actualization, I want to share it with them. I want them to live professionally free.

10:31 – Gresham Harkless

Absolutely. I love that. So Scott, I wanted to switch gears a little bit and I want to ask you for what I call a CEO hack. So you might have already touched on this, but this could be like an Apple book or a habit that you have. But what's something that makes you more effective and efficient?

10:46 – Scott Mason

I believe in making sure that whenever I communicate, particularly if I am in a public space, i.e. In a leadership space, I am doing 1 thing in particular, making sure that I am consciously connecting the message in my brain to the purpose-driven space in my heart. When those things connect, a power valve opens and charisma bursts out. Charisma is ultimately what brings people behind our message. Charisma is the greatest secret that a leader has or might not have that no one talks about. Building that charisma and being conscious of what it takes to push it out is my answer to your question.

We each have charisma within us. You'll hear people every now and then say, oh, I'm not very tall. I have a very small physical presence. My voice is soft. So what? Actually, the Greek myths have a lot to say about that in particular. The one lesson that one can take away from those myths without me going through the whole thing is that it is within every single one of us And it may manifest differently, but that power is the ultimate, in my opinion, secret leadership hack.

12:09 – Gresham Harkless

Yes, absolutely. We can kind of tap into that power, understand and understand exactly what that power is, and start to tap into it, and then it really can do some phenomenal things. So what would you consider to be what I like to call a CEO nugget? This is a little bit more word of wisdom or a piece of advice. I usually say it might be something you would tell your favorite client, or if you happen to do a time machine, you might tell your younger bit of self.

12:31 – Scott Mason

Who and what you are at any given moment is subject to change. A lot of times going back to Greek mythology as a metaphor, you'll hear people talk about being on a hero's journey. And the journey that all of us are on, if we are navigating it ideally, can feel and even be heroic. But let's never forget that the status of a hero is always transitional. A hero is on a journey from place A to place B. They're not just on the heroic journey forever. Now, in Greek mythology, once a hero takes the actions that transform them from an ordinary being into a hero, then they have an experience called apotheosis.

In other words, they become a god. Understand that we all are in transition. Like I said earlier, who and what we are today isn't necessarily forever. The goal that I recommend my clients aspire to is not being just a hero, but being an Olympian.

13:42 – Gresham Harkless

Absolutely. And I love that you help people to unlock that and you do that so well with the clients that you work with. So I want to ask you now my absolute favorite question, which is the definition of what it means to be a CEO. We're hoping to have different quote-unquote CEOs on this show. So Scott, what does being a CEO mean to you?

14:00 – Scott Mason

Being a CEO is magnetizing individuals and systems around you so that you can bring change to society, to a larger sphere that you are seeking to make either through the product that you sell or the service that your organization provides. Now, I don't necessarily believe that maximizing profit is necessarily a part of that formula because there are CEOs that are of nonprofits. So all of that goes as to all that goes to the importance of making some difference in the world that would not be there were the product or service that you're providing ultimately not in existence. Being a CEO is, as I mentioned earlier, the ability to galvanize people behind whatever that change is.

14:57 – Gresham Harkless

Absolutely. Absolutely. Well, Scott, truly appreciate that definition. Of course, I appreciate your time even more. So what I wanted to do now is pass you the mic, so to speak, just to see if there's anything additional that you can let our readers and listeners know. And of course, how best people can get hold of you, find out about your podcast, and all the awesome things that you're working on, my friend.

One of the things that people find very compelling that I do is break down a series of myths week by week with a business lesson attached to them every day. If you want to talk further about how to magnetize or monetize professional freedom, you should feel free to reach out to me at scottatmyfreedomrocks.com. Scott at myfreedomrocks.com.

Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Well, I definitely appreciate that. And of course, to make it even easier, just so there's no confusion with any other Scott messages, we're going to have the links and information and the show notes too, so that everybody can follow up with you. And I hope you have a phenomenal rest of the day.
