I couldn't be more excited to introduce you to this week's guest on Chiseled!

If you have never heard of Bob Beaudine, you're in for some high-energy inspiration! The president and CEO of Eastman-Beaudine, Bob got started in brand management for Carnation (Nestlé) before joining his father in the executive search industry.

Executive recruiting may be familiar to you now, but it was a new industry when Bob got started and he took it to a whole other level. How?
"(My dad) wanted to know where I was going, and I said, 'When I do a search for a president of a manufacturing company, at the end of the search I get a tour of the plant. If I did the head of marketing for the NBA, we'd get an All-Star weekend."

Bob's first executive placement was Bud Selig as commissioner of Major League Baseball. Since then, his hunt to find the one special person to fire up an executive team has led him to interview generals, U.S. presidents, college presidents, and of course, professional athletes, and team managers.
Today, Bob is recognized as a pioneer in the professional sports industry, being the top recruiting firm in college sports, according to the Wall Street Journal. Sports Illustrated dubbed him "the most influential man in sports you've never heard of." He has held private speaking engagements for the likes of Nike, AIG, Madison Square Garden, NBC, and the L.A. Lakers.

But Bob is more than just an executive recruiter. He is also an entrepreneur, an author, and a man of faith. He has published two amazing books that I love: "The Power of Who," which describes how to harness your friends and family to help you succeed in life, and "Two Chairs: The Secret That Changes Everything," which teaches readers how to have an out-loud conversation with God, who will give you the best advice you could ever want.
In this week's episode of Chiseled, Bob describes how writing “Two Chairs” prepared him for the personal tragedy that laid ahead; he shares a conversation that business coach Tom Ziglar had sitting in one of those chairs; and he offers valuable lessons on finding the right job and relying on friends.
