Nowhere Left formed with 4 friends who truly felt like they had nowhere left to turn to. The band encompass the emotions of being at rock bottom but also realizing that once you hit the floor, there’s nowhere left to go but up. Debut single "Tragedy" sees the New York quartet chasing their dreams whilst ruing the critical eye of their peers; Nowhere Left partnered with Zack Keel to write the new track, a cascading and evocative display of alternative rock: powerful guitars, soaring vocals and big choruses. The debut sees the band channeling the likes of Breaking Benjamin, Thousand Below and From Ashes to New. Thank you for listening! If there are bands that you would like to hear on the show or if you’re a band that would like to join me for an interview, please reach out to me at podcast@beyondradentertainment.com.

Episode 129 - Dom Delfino of Nowhere Left

Dom Delfino is not shy about sharing his opinions. Now the VP of Worldwide Sales and Systems Engineering for VMware, Dom joined us live at VMworld 2016 to talk about leadership. We touched on assertiveness, building trust, picking your battles, and delegation. We had a good time. Previously on the Geek Whisperers: Be Great Right Now – Episode 85  Inflection points in your career – evaluate bigger moves Put yourself in an uncomfortable position – you won’t know if you can do it until you try Take on new challenges Sometimes when you get really good at something, you can get bored Don’t be comfortable – be comfortable with being uncomfortable – that way you’re challenging yourself. Being Passive Aggressive, Aggressive, and Assertive Being Assertive is about asking leading questions Especially in group environments, this is a way to avoid throwing people under the bus Building trust and loyalty; distrust makes people less loyal Open and honest dialog make hard things easier Managing with uncertainty Fixing things under your control vs things outside your control Pick and choose your battles; prioritize; communicate that down Acknowledge the problems publicly The Three D’s: Deal with; Delegate; and Disappear The grass is always greener on the other side — because somebody took a crap on it Not every problem is fixable You will never be smarter than the collective intellect of your team You lead the team, you don’t do all the work If you ask (not tell), people will respond Delegation tells you about people Skills diversity is important Don’t hire people like yourself Being able to say No Some things take zero talent but tell you a lot about the person: being on time, being motivated, being a self-starter Technology can be taught You can’t have ego when you get into executive roles Why should I come work for you? Never make an emotional career decision; always have a long-term plan  Twitter @domdelfino and LinkedIn
