What makes vulnerability in leadership powerful, but also dangerous? Leaders often confuse vulnerability with simply admitting mistakes or showing emotions. But without the right foundation, being “open” can backfire, leaving you looking weak or incompetent instead of inspiring trust. In today's Leadership Spark, the spotlight is on the eight attributes of vulnerable leaders, distilled from my conversations with over 100 global CEOs. The discussion reveals that vulnerability on its own isn't enough. It has to be paired with strong leadership qualities. We'll unpack the three crucial attributes leaders need, such as competence, self-confidence, and motivation. You'll hear real-world stories from failed $150M bets to CEOs battling panic attacks that show how uncomfortable but necessary vulnerability is.   ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

Nik gets real about what it takes to build a brand that actually works in 2025.  The so-called “meta decline” isn't killing ads, but bad creative and weak messaging are.  The brands winning today? They know how to turn customers into clients, build community, and create content that people actually care about. Is a $2,500 budget enough? If you use it wisely, yes. Plus, learn how to crack organic growth before spending a dime on ads and spot product-market fit problems before they sink you.  And, Nik explains why whitelisting still crushes, how to test landing pages without wasting money, and what founder-led content should really look like. If you're looking to scale (or even stop burning cash), this is the episode for you.  AppLovin is the fastest growing ad platform for DTC brands.

What you'll discover… How to build trust with customers before you've even built a product Lessons on raising $150M and convincing top-tier VCs like Sequoia and General Catalyst The emotional story that sparked Cobot's mission inside a hospital hallway Why humanoid robots might not be the future and what should replace them Why swappable batteries, high-mounted sensors, and swerve drives make all the difference The founder's journey: anxiety, ambition, and the power of embracing the Odyssey Where to find it… (02:35) Why Brad left a high-flying career to start something from scratch (06:10) Timing the AI and robotics wave (08:45) From Scale AI to Cobot: building the product he truly believed in (11:45) Identifying Real-world problems to be solved by your new start-up (19:45) Why top investors believed in him before a prototype even existed (27:00) Selling the vision before building the robot (32:45) MVP success, user feedback, and building trust with early adopters (40:00) What “everyday work” means for Brad and how Cobot improves lives (44:00) The next 10 years of robotics and physical AI (52:00) Brad's proudest moment and how it ties back to a promise to his father More about the episode Before founding Cobot, Brad Porter held senior roles at Amazon, Scale AI, and even helped pioneer voice applications at Tellme and Netscape. But it was a walk with his father through the halls of Mayo Clinic that planted the seed for something radically new. In this heartfelt and insightful episode, Brad shares how a personal loss became a professional mission to build collaborative robots that enhance human work instead of replacing it. With over $150M raised in just three years and clients like the Mayo Clinic, Maersk, and the US Department of Defense, Brad has done what few in hard tech manage to do: build, fund, and deploy a real solution in record time. You'll hear how digital twin technology and fast iteration allowed Cobot to deliver results before having a fully built prototype, and why design decisions like swappable batteries and swerve drives matter more than buzzwords. If you're a founder, investor, or just fascinated by where robotics is headed, this episode delivers hard-won insights and inspiration in equal measure.

In this episode, we chat with Clint Harris who is a professional real estate investor, entrepreneur, and co-host of the Truly Passive Income podcast. Before launching his full-time investment career, Clint spent 16 years in medical sales, where he developed long-standing relationships with physicians, dentists, staff, and patients—giving him a firsthand understanding of the unique pressures healthcare professionals face.While working full time in the medical field, Clint began building passive income streams through multifamily real estate and high-performing Airbnb properties. After becoming frustrated with the limitations of third-party management, he founded Going Coastal Property Management to take full control of his portfolio and optimize returns.Seeking diversification, Clint transitioned into self-storage investments and became a general partner at Nomad Capital, where he now helps convert underperforming big-box retail spaces into stabilized, cash-flowing storage facilities. To date, he's raised capital for the development of over $150 million in stabilized commercial assets.Clint's mission is simple but powerful: to help healthcare professionals achieve financial independence, location freedom, and—most importantly—independence of purpose. Drawing from his own journey, he teaches medical professionals how to stop trading time for money and instead invest with intention, freeing up their time to focus on what truly matters—whether that's patient care, family, travel, or entrepreneurship.We interviewed Clint on the following topics:Healthcare professionals often trade time for money. What strategies helped you break that cycle, and how can practice owners start doing the same?How can healthcare and dental professionals leverage passive income to reduce burnout or eventually step away from full-time clinical work?Marketing is a key challenge in healthcare. What parallels have you seen between marketing in real estate and the way healthcare or dental practices should think about marketing themselves?Clint raised over $150M in capital—what are the key ingredients in earning trust with investors or patients, and how can healthcare professionals apply those same principles to grow their practice?Med Rank Interactive: https://medrankinteractive.com/  Website: https://trulypassiveincome.com/about/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/clint-harris-543265139/ #healthcaredigitalmarketingpodcast #clintharris #lamarhull #passiveincome #medicalseo #dentalseo #medrankinteractive #doctorpodcast #practiceprodcast #dentalpodcast #financialfreedom #trulypassiveincome #raisingcapital

Your landing page might need some work.  In this episode of Limited Supply, Nik shares his best tips for building landing pages that actually get people to buy, even if your brand isn't well known.

What happens when your business fails, your spouse is diagnosed with cancer, and everything you've built feels like it's slipping away?In this powerful conversation, we sit down with longtime friend and marketplace leader Scott Boyd. Scott shares his journey from early faith and career struggles to encountering the transformative message of grace through deep suffering and loss. After nearly losing his business and walking with his late wife through cancer twice, Scott discovered a new way of living—not through performance, but through trusting God with his identity, work, and pain.From memorizing Galatians on hiking trails to watching his business grow from $5M to $150M, Scott's story is a compelling picture of what happens when we shift from striving to freedom. He opens up about the fears that keep us from trusting grace, the beauty of deep friendship, and how transformation shows up as deeper love for others.Whether you're a ministry leader, entrepreneur, or just someone longing for more, this conversation will reframe how you see God, yourself, and your work.Key Takeaways:Grace in Practice: True transformation begins when we trust that sanctification—like justification—is by faith, not effort.From Fear to Freedom: When we stop striving to “be enough,” we begin to experience love, freedom, and relational health.Workplace as Worship: A grace-filled approach to leadership leads to healthier teams and surprising success—in Scott's case, scaling his business tenfold.Transformation Evidence: Love increases, judgment decreases, and others begin to notice—we become more patient, joyful, and free.Healing in Community: Sharing our struggles in safe relationships, like Scott's 21-year men's group, fosters deep emotional and spiritual healing.Enduring Loss with Faith: After losing his wife Bev, Scott modeled trusting God through grief—and later found new life and love again.Support the show

How do you turn a simple product into a seven-figure business without breaking the bank on ads? What makes a story-driven brand stand out in today's crowded digital landscape? Nik sits down with journalist and media personality Benjamin Gottlieb to explore storytelling, consumer psychology, and brand building. They talk about how founders can think like journalists, the importance of clarity in communication, and why marketing should always be personal, not for the masses. Plus, how good does your hook actually have to be? It's overlooked, but super critical. Nik says hooks should be testable, tailored, and transferable across platforms. A hook that performs organically on TikTok might become the foundation of your next paid campaign. And if grandma—or someone three shots deep at the bar—can understand it? You're doing it right.
