  <title>Bet On The People Who Show Up - Tim Flanagan</title>
  <description> From Bold Decisions to People-First Leadership: Tim Flanagan on Scaling, Strategy &amp;amp;amp; Courage | Your Epic Pursuit Podcast  What does it really take to lead through a strategic inflection point? In this episode, Mike Mooney sits down with Tim Flanagan - third-generation leader, General Agent at the Pelora Group (MassMutual), Charlotte's 40 Under 40 honoree, and Most Admired CEO - for a raw, honest conversation on leadership, courage, and building high-performance teams.  Tim shares the moment he looked across a conference table and realized his team had split into two camps - and what he did about it. He unpacks why hope is not a plan, how to think 10X when the pressure is on, and the &amp;quot;slow down to speed up&amp;quot; strategy he and his business partner use to cut through the chaos without stopping the business.  In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ How to apply 10X thinking to compress your vision timeline ✅ Why strategic inflection points demand bold people decisions ✅ The &amp;quot;slow down to speed up&amp;quot; practice for leaders under pressure ✅ What &amp;quot;honoring someone's choice&amp;quot; means in real leadership ✅ How micro moments and experience wakes build (or break) culture ✅ The people-first principle that's driven decades of Charlotte business success  Whether you're a founder, executive, team leader, or aspiring entrepreneur, this episode delivers the kind of practical leadership wisdom you can put to work immediately.  🎙️&amp;amp;nbsp;Guest:&amp;amp;nbsp;Tim Flanagan | General Agent, Pelora Group | MassMutual | Charlotte, NC 🏆 Charlotte's 40 Under 40 | Most Admired CEO | Best Places to Work  Connect with Tim Flanagan:&amp;amp;nbsp;[Insert Link] Connect with Mike Mooney:&amp;amp;nbsp;[Insert Link] Subscribe to Your Epic Pursuit:&amp;amp;nbsp;[Insert Link]  📌&amp;amp;nbsp;Chapters: 0:00 – Welcome &amp;amp;amp; Tim's Introduction 2:16 – The Science of Scaling &amp;amp;amp; 10X Thinking 10:37 – The Bold Decision That Changed Everything 24:02 – Slow Down to Speed Up 31:40 – The People-First Leadership Principle 37:33 – Micro Moments &amp;amp;amp; Experience Wakes 39:21 – Closing Thoughts  &amp;amp;nbsp; </description>
