Episode #049: How to Develop the Leader Within with Lucas Lunzmann

The Grow2Gether Podcast

This episode of The Grow2Gether Podcast is taken from our Redefine Your 20's series where we're joined by community member and entrepreneur, Lucas Lunzmann as we discuss his journey into entrepreneurship from a young age and how other young people can also accomplish this. After playing sports for years, Lucas picked up a severe back injury meaning he couldn’t play for the remainder of high school. This began to alienate him from his usual crowd and he eventually drifted apart from them. However, once he joined a business organisation at his high school, he began to network with like-minded people. This catapulted him into a much more positive place which resulted in a rejuvenation of his life outlook and the conception of his first company, The Teen Leader.

Today, Lucas’ hard work and dedication are reflected in his regular podcast and position as Nebraska State President of the Future Business Leaders of America. Listen in to discover his perspective on how anyone can become a leader and how young people can enhance their mindset to redefine their 20’s

Some takeaways from this episode:

﹥ Anyone can be a leader, think of It as inspiring others. People make leadership seem complex and difficult when, in reality, it’s not just about running a team and making them commit to what you want them to do. It’s more about enabling them to do what they want to do: Guide them down the greatest path possible. Just because you don’t have that authority title, don’t think you can’t lead, anyone can make an impact!

﹥ Make time to focus on yourself, it’s important. Teens can get caught up in too much, such as sporting activities, extracurriculars, test scores or even the right university to attend. They don’t find the time to focus on themselves and how they can improve. Making the time and developing those personal qualities is key to personal growth.

﹥ For internal progression, a useful habit to get into is constantly learning. No matter your age, this can be extremely beneficial. Constantly learning doesn’t have to mean always reading a book when you have spare time, learning can encapsulate meditation and self-reflection because you are learning about yourself. Podcasts, audiobooks and YouTube videos are also great ways to learn and expand your mind!

﹥ Plus, much, much more!
