November 2022 Breakfast of Champions - What I Didn't Learn at the Harvard Business School

Wednesday, November 9, 2022 (7:30 AM - 9:00 AM) (EST)

Description

Online registration closed.

Joining us is retired Rear Admiral Brian McCarthy USNR(Ret), who served from Vietnam to Desert Storm. He will share leadership lessons learned from 30 years of military service and how they impacted his entrepreneurial career after graduating from the Harvard Business School. His career ranged from owning a multi-store chain of Burger King restaurants in his 20's, commanding 86,000 employees at the Defense Logistics Agency in his 40s, to building over $500 million of commercial real estate over decades with $70 million currently under development. How have the lessons learned benefited him as the Founder & CEO of The Pickleball Club, which is the first indoor pickleball club in Florida, scheduled to open in Lakewood Ranch this year.

Additionally, he will salute Veterans as November 11th marks the special remembrance.

What you will take away:

  • Taking command
  • Learning from each other
  • Crises spawn leaders
  • Building a team
  • Being a patriot
