Tyler Dickerhoof - How to Become an Impact Driven Leader #24

This week on 🎧The Nick Halaris Show we are featuring leadership guru Tyler Dickerhoof.  Tyler is an entrepreneur with a very impressive track record and the host of the popular Impact Driven Leader Podcast.  As you’ll see in this episode, his diverse experiences in industries like agriculture, fitness, and network marketing give him a unique and compelling perspective on what good leadership looks like.  

Ready to dive in? Listen to this episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music and Youtube or on your favorite podcast platform. 

I wanted to have Tyler on the show to pick-up on our examination of the principles of leadership.  For anyone serious about citizenship and having an authentic impact in the world, learning how to be an effective, inspiring leader is required work.  These days, we hear so much in the news about all that’s going wrong but there are passionate people like Tyler out there trying to show us all a better way.  To prepare for this discussion, I listened to a ton of episodes from Tyler’s podcast and walked away feeling really energized.  Not only does Tyler do a great job breaking down best practices for impactful leadership but also, he showcases some inspiring socially conscious leaders who are putting people first, prioritizing values over profits, and achieving impressive results.

We cover a lot of fascinating ground in this engaging discussion and while we had a lot of fun, we also had some serious moments.  Tyler shared a tragic childhood story about the death of his little brother and how his desire for his brother’s life to mean something has inspired him to become such a passionate messenger for a positive vision of leadership. Tune in to learn more about this and:

  • Why dealing with insecurities is a must for anyone serious about leadership

  • How he figured out that he had a tendency to be too intense and learned how to overcome it

  • Why actually caring about the people you lead is a superpower

  • How the willingness to be consistently vulnerable is a leader’s key to having the tough conversations when necessary

    &

  • All the reasons why the positive hype around Coach Prime’s leadership is actually deserved

    As always, thanks again for tuning-in!

I’ve been fascinated by investing for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I would read the Wall Street Journal, the Economist and Barron’s, pouring over the data tables, stories and interviews with a passion and an insatiable kind of curiosity. As I grew into adulthood, I struggled to find the right outlet and channel for this passion and spent much of my twenties wandering and trying out different things. I had a very brief career as an attorney, spent some time as a strategy and leadership consultant for big multinational companies, failed in an attempt to start a hedge fund, and even ended up helping run a scrap metal recycling operation for a while.

At the age of 30 though, I took my stand. I made up my mind that no matter what I was going to be an entrepreneurial investor. As crazy as it sounds, I owe everything in my life to this one foundational decision—even my amazing wife and my beautiful kids. I don’t think I would ever have met Alicia had I not made this one choice. At that moment in time, the financial world had just been devastated by the crash in the housing market and the near systemic failure of the global banking system that followed. I’ve always had a contrarian bent to my investment thinking; so, to me the carnage in real estate looked like an opportunity.

It all started with one house in Compton California. The business plan was simple: buy a distressed foreclosed home from a bank, bring it back to life with a big renovation and sell it to a first-time homebuyer. Things progressed slowly as they tend to do with real estate. In the first years of this, I think I did 6-7 homes. But then after plugging away day-by-day, suddenly it seemed, things just came together. I found the right investors and the right loans and the right deals and in just a few short years I ended up investing in over 100 such transactions, building a portfolio of almost 2,500 multifamily units and creating a fully vertically integrated real estate company with almost 100 employees.

Fast forward to today and I’m running the second evolution of my entrepreneurial investing career and having so much fun that I have to stop and remind myself that this is all real.
