Why Bragging is a Leadership Skill (Not a Dirty Word)

What if your belief in what's possible was shaped not just by talent—but by the evidence you gather by taking action and learning from the results?

In this episode, Robbie sits down with Shane Cullis, Membership Manager at the Burlington Chamber of Commerce, to explore how mindset, action, and community shape what's possible in life and business.

Some key themes are:

How expectation and realization build belief
The hidden power of networking (even if you're shy!)
Why showing up to connect—not to pitch—creates real growth
Overcoming imposter syndrome by focusing on helping others
The magic of small wins, clear targets, and being willing to start before you're ready

From stories about starting from scratch to the joy of helping others thrive, this episode is a reminder that possibility grows when we take action, lean into connection, and believe we belong in the room.

A message to you from Shane Cullis:

I have been floating around the Chamber world for most of my career. I was a member at a bunch of different Chambers. Throughout all that time I have managed to build up a rather large network. I am known for knowing people. I am also known for connecting the right ones with each other. That’s the real important part of what I do! I have worked directly for both the Burlington and Oakville Chambers. One thing I have learned, we are all the same in many ways. One big similarity, we’re all just trying to grow our businesses and support our families! Can we do it on our own, sure. Can we do it a lot quicker if we work together. Most definitely!! If you see me at an event, just come up to me and ask, do you know a _________. If the person you are looking for is in the room I will connect you. In other words, I help people with targeted networking. Best to get right to the folks you really want to meet. Feel free to contact me anytime!

Folks can contact me by email. shane@burlingtonchamber.com
