Key Thoughts from Our Interview with Danny Bauer
Danny wastes no time about the harsh reality that 90% of school leaders who leave their school, leave the profession. The cost of retention is too high, which is why joining a community of dedicated professionals is paramount.

Listen to Danny explore the imposter syndrome--how it limits our abilities, why it kicks in, and how we can push past our self-defeating behaviors when we are a member of the right community.

Danny shares a quote: What’s ordinary for you is extraordinary for me. ~ Derek Sivers. Check out entrepreneur and founder of CD Baby, Derek Sivers, you won't be disappointed.

A big part of the Mastermind process is the “hotseat” protocol. It’s where we challenge one another to do and be better. Listen to what Danny says about the collective IQ. 

Danny mentions Dr. Benjamin Hardy as someone who he follows to learn and grow. Dr. Hardy is an organizational psychologist and author of Willpower Doesn’t Work and Personality Isn’t Permanent.

What is Danny looking forward to in his future? Eventually, he wants to serve 1200+ leaders in his Mastermind. This is where the interview gets very tangible, and Danny tells about what he learned from The Strangest Secret by Earl Nightingale.

Teaching others is what leads to his growth because it helps to make the learning stick. He is always looking for something that stretches his thinking. Check out the altMBA, an investment that he made in his own leadership. 

Lastly, listen to what he says about “just cause.”
