Hi,

I’m excited to share that my Wealthy Ways Sirius XM show guest this weekend is Howard Putnam.

Howard Putnam is the former CEO of Southwest Airlines, Braniff Airlines and Group VP of Marketing for United Airlines.

He’s now a retired businessman, motivational speaker, author, consultant and online mentor on leadership, customer service and change.

Here are 9 “wisdom pearls” from Howard Putnam:

1. Turbulence has cycles. And your challenge is that it’s part of the process of life – learn to live through your turbulent times.
   
   
2. You can play the game like others play the game, or you can change the game! At Southwest Airlines, they decided to change the game.
   
   
3. You can go with the old model of simply selling a product or service and be just a commodity. Or, you can decide to create a bigger vision that massively impacts the way people live and create your brand.
   
   
4. Be like Southwest. Hire according to Attitude; then teach the skills.
   
   
5. Your integrity is critical. Decide early on what you will do with your life by choosing your “non-negotiables.”
   
   
6. When people try to throw water on your dreams, decide to grow redwood trees.
   
   
7. Never settle for someone else’s limited opinion of you! Create your own bigger, better version of yourself.
   
   
8. It takes guts to fly high. Start working on the mindset now so you can soar later.
   
   
9. Prioritize your life. Faith and family should always be first on your list.

As a result of the massive calls we've received from folks in the DMV (who saw the show in July) and those who saw it in Martha’s Vineyard in August, we have decided to do it again!

Dr. Jolley takes you on an incredible journey with his captivating story of being an award-winning Jazz singer, to being fired (and replaced by a karaoke machine).

He has gone on to make history by being named, “One of the Outstanding 5 Speakers in the World,” being inducted into The Speaker Hall of Fame, and most recently becoming the first African American man to receive the speaking industry’s highest award, The Cavett!

This incredible Broadway-style show will make you smile!

It is filled with powerful singing, speaking, side-splitting humor and life-changing lessons that will empower you to turn your setbacks into incredible comebacks!
