On episode 259 I am joined by Brent Pohlman.   Brent is the owner and CEO of Midwest Laboratories. He strives to bring his A-game to work daily. At 15, Brent landed his first job at Midwest Laboratories, the company his father founded in 1975. He became CEO in 2016 and is passionate about teaching others to lead effectively. As a person of faith, he coaches people up, leads from the heart, and has achieved success by focusing on people, processes, and technology—in that order.   Grateful to build on his father’s legacy, Brent aspired to be a leader and owner of a great company. His transformation has convinced him that leaders must look deeper within themselves to find their true identities. He believes the only way to lead is from the heart and is passionate about helping others learn how to lead others effectively.   He is the author of Leaders Look Within – a book that will help you dig into your heart and unleash the true leader spirit inside of you.   Working out and reading are among Brent’s hobbies.
