About This Episode

In this episode, we welcome Greg Lai, Co-Founder of Affinity Investments Advisors. Greg takes us from his initial dream of wanting to be an Astronaut to starting his own Investment Management firm. Greg provides insight into mentoring, how mentors are important. We discuss listening, the importance of “hiring fit,” how you can stand out in today’s workforce, why responsibility, accountability, and ownership are critical for today’s “tasks.”

Greg also goes into detail on communication, conflict, the importance of conflict recognition, resolution, and avoidance. Greg discusses the importance of relationship versus merely having 1,000’s of LinkedIn “acquaintances.”

Greg also touches on self-awareness, the best leadership qualities you should have in your toolkit,

Finally, Greg discusses how being different is of “high-value” and how “true value” is delivering what people expect, and putting others first with a servant mindset is key.
