A “red chair” strategic thinker, Lisa Patrick speaks about what it means to be an “eligible receiver of life and opportunity.” She talks about true reputation capital being about others, not yourself. Most importantly, Lisa inspires people to become a person who will attract more opportunities and begin to think about failure differently. She’s written a book with one of the greats, Jim Cathcart, and she tells us about that as well. Our conversation was just the beginning.

What is Reputation Capital?
We live in the age of reputation. Influencers, gurus, wizards, czars, geeks, mavens, and thought leaders rule the roost. So what about you?
We ask difficult questions of hustlers and heros, founders and failers … those who have done it, are doing it, and will get things done.
Capitalize on your reputation. Step out of the shadows. Shift the earth on its axis. #YOLO.
