Full show notes at  Twitter/IG: @RyanHawk12 &nbsp;  Matt Mochary is an operator and an investor. Matt is known as the coach of Silicon Valley’s best CEOs. He works with leaders at many companies, including Coinbase, Opendoor, Bolt, and Clearbit. After selling his startup in 1999 for millions, he surfed, made movies, and then developed the Mochary Method to help leaders excel.  Matt's life mantra: “Make Money, Have Fun, Do Good” Matt has coached the leaders of Angelist, Brex, Coinbase, Sequoia, Grammarly, Attentive Mobile, Flexport, Plaid, and Reddit. I was not expecting so much emotion from him when talking about coaching. It’s evident that Matt finds great joy in what he does. I find that inspiring. The components to a coaching conversation... Hold each other accountable. Declare the highest priority actions. Unpack the problems. Ask them how they are complicit in creating those problems? Help provide solutions &amp; action items for each. Then share feedback. Instead of looking for a specific class, find the best teachers and go to them. That’s where the learning happens. In college and out in the real world. "Matt’s coaching has brought me clarity, focus, organization, less stress, and higher performance (me and the team). I have always been skeptical of coaches but I think he can 10x the output of a lot of people and I hope he does!" -- Sam Altman (CEO, OpenAI) “It's often easy to make a decision, but it can be much harder to get your team to invest emotionally in that decision.” “You create buy-in when you make people feel that they are part of the decision and that their input contributes to the final outcome.” “Most companies spend extraordinary resources of time, money, and equity to bring on a new team member, and then almost entirely drop the ball on quickly getting that team member onboarded and up to speed on how the company works so that they can begin making a full contribution. Don’t make this mistake.” “You create buy-in when you make people feel that they are part of the decision and that their input contributes to the final outcome.” “Making a Sale To make a sale effectively, you need to do the following three things: Build trust Identify the customer’s specific pain Sell results, not features” “Why did you leave that job?” Was the candidate promoted, recruited, or fired? Get very curious about why.” “And when receiving appreciation, there is only one correct response: “Thank you.” Do not feign humility by downplaying the act with statements like “It was nothing, anyone could have done it.” No. The person is trying to make you feel appreciated. Anything other than “thank you” will rob them of their goal.” Meetings – ALWAYS start on time. Don’t ever say, “Well let’s wait for everyone to join zoom.”

Bio From OrderOfMan.com (In Ryan’s Words)
Most of my childhood was spent without a permanent father figure
in my life. I never learned how to work on my car, I never had the
chance to roughhouse with my dad, and I didn’t even learn how to
throw a baseball correctly until I was a freshman in high
school.
Looking back on it now, I wonder how my life would have been
different if I had a permanent male influence in my life. What
would the world look like if there were more men in it? I’m not
talking about males. I’m talking about MEN (there is a
difference).
Now that I have sons, I’m committed to being the dad that I
never had. We do all kinds of great things together-sports (I coach
ALL their teams), build tree houses, and roughhouse ’til we’re
exhausted.
As I talk with other men, I can see that there is a huge need
for learning how to be a better father. But I’ve also seen a need
for strong and honorable men outside of the home.
Guys, we’re losing the meaning of manhood. We’ve gone away from
being strong, rugged, independent, and tough to a collection of
wimpy, dependent, whiners. Something has got to be done!
