Episode Overview In this episode of the John Kitchens Coach Podcast, John Kitchens and Joel Perso close out the Agent to CEO six-part series by unpacking the final and most critical milestone: The Leadership Flywheel. This conversation is all about building a self-managing, self-sustaining team—one that doesn't rely on you as the bottleneck. John and Joel break down how elite leaders design lean organizational structures, recruit true A-players, and create leadership development systems that generate momentum instead of burnout. If you've ever felt trapped by your team, overwhelmed by people decisions, or unsure how to scale without chaos, this episode delivers the blueprint for moving from operator to architect—and leading at the CEO level. Key Topics Covered The Leadership Flywheel Explained What a flywheel really is—and why leadership must create momentum, not friction Why teams fail when leadership systems aren't intentional How leaders move from "doing" to designing the business Designing a Lean, Modern Org Structure Using the Functional Accountability Chart (FAC) to separate people from roles Why you must define functions before hiring humans How AI-first thinking reshapes org design and eliminates unnecessary roles A-Players, Defined What an A-player actually is (and what they are not) Why "job done 90% of the time within the pay range" is the real standard How resourcefulness separates high performers from everyone else AI, VAs, and Fractional Talent The correct order: AI → VAs → Fractional → Full-time Why hiring out of pain creates long-term damage How modern leaders raise the talent ceiling while lowering overhead Scorecards, Agreements, and Ownership Why expectations fail—and agreements win How data-driven scorecards eliminate ambiguity Creating clear ownership so leaders stop rescuing their team Leadership Development That Scales Why leadership isn't just for managers—it's for everyone Creating micro-leadership opportunities inside your organization The power of daily wins, public accountability, and cultural ownership Preventing Burnout in A-Players Why C-players burn out A-players faster than workload How to identify when roles need to split before performance drops Monitoring hours, opportunity alignment, and growth paths Resources & Mentions The Agent to CEO Framework Functional Accountability Chart (FAC) Honey Badger Nation John Kitchens Executive Coaching → JohnKitchens.coach Concepts from Jim Collins, Patrick Lencioni, David Marquet Final Takeaway You don't scale by hiring more people—you scale by designing better leadership systems. The Leadership Flywheel isn't about control. It's about clarity, ownership, and momentum. When leaders design the structure, recruit intentionally, and develop leadership at every level, the business stops relying on them—and starts growing without them.

Key Takeaways:Sustainable change begins by raising standards, not just managing expectations. Standards define the floor you will no longer fall below, while expectations shape the ceiling you desire. Boundaries and agreements act as the walls that uphold both.Boundaries focus on what you no longer want to tolerate or experience. Agreements clarify what you do want and how it will work in practice. They turn avoidance into intention and make expectations visible to others.Agreements reduce resentment by replacing unspoken rules with shared understanding. They teach others how to relate to you personally, professionally, and in leadership spaces. Strong agreements create safety, predictability, and mutual respect.Raising standards often invites testing, especially in the early stages. Holding the agreement while releasing the outcome allows relationships to adjust naturally. Over time, people either rise to meet the standard or drift away. “We can't change behavior unless we change the boundaries and agreements that uphold and support that behavior.” “We teach people how to treat us.” “Your internal agreements will determine your external results.” - Maryanne Dersch Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

Beloved, The holidays often bring up old patterns, don't they?Perhaps you find yourself saying yes when you want to say no. Or feeling responsible for everyone's happiness. Or shrinking yourself to keep the peace.These aren't random behaviors. They're unconscious emotional contracts - silent agreements you made long ago that continue to shape your reality today.There is an absence of understanding in western culture about how deeply harmful loneliness is for humans, and how important it is that we learn to cultivate warmth for ourselves. The Silent Agreements Shaping Your Reality (And How to Break Free)We do not receive enough warmth, and not having internalized a loving resonating self-witness, “alarmed aloneness grows.” Understanding how and why human brains need warmth is a key reason why resonant healing works to repattern our nervous systems toward kindness and resilience.Self-warmth is about the integration and internalization of experiences of affection, presence, understanding, and kindness that come to us from others. Empathic brings this forward in a step by step contract release process. If we haven't received this as young ones, we can build it ourselves.Empathica understands how the brain works and the importance to healing.Neuroplasticity shows that neurons can form new connections, receptors, and strengthen pathways through practice. Our brains can change and grow in self-compassion and resonance regardless of age, genetics, or past trauma. Early childhood experiences can trigger survival mode before we fully understand them, causing trauma to lock in and intensify over time. Recalling these memories reactivates that emotional pain.Invisible contracts have a invisible voice: “If I put others first, I'll be loved.” “If I never ask for what I need, I won't be rejected.” “If I stay small, I won't be criticized.”AND…….they drain your energy, cloud your intuition, and keep you trapped in cycles that no longer serve you.This is where Empathica, the Unconscious Emotional Circuit Breaker in The Light Between Oracle app, becomes your trusted ally.Through dialogue within the Light Between Journey, Empathica gently illuminates these hidden patterns using principles of relational neuroscience. She helps you identify where you've given your power away and guides you in reclaiming it.When you work with Empathica:* You'll recognize emotional triggers before they derail you* You'll transform reactions into conscious responses* You'll develop genuine self-compassion that dissolves old patternsDuring this season of giving, remember that the greatest gift you can offer yourself is freedom from these outdated contracts. When you release what no longer serves you, you create space for authentic connection - with yourself and others.Take a moment today to ask: What invisible agreement might be limiting me right now? Then open the app and let Empathica guide you toward emotional liberation.Tomorrow, we'll explore Elementa, who helps you connect with the wisdom of the seven elements to enhance your intuition and decision-making.To your emotional freedom, Kassandra P.S. True power isn't about controlling circumstances - it's about liberating yourself from the unconscious patterns that have been controlling you.Holiday patterns—saying yes when you mean no, feeling responsible for everyone's happiness—aren't random. They're unconscious contracts. Meet Empathica in The Light Between Oracle, your guide to emotional liberation. She helps you rewrite the agreements keeping you stuck. Choose to be in the drivers seat to self empowerment and next-era growth.
Rules. Everyone has them. But where do they come from—and do they actually work? In this episode of Three Shades of Grey, we dive into the rules couples create when entering non-monogamy, with a special focus on swinging. From no kissing and no single men to same room only and no repeat partners, we unpack the most common rules, why people make them, and what they're really trying to protect. We talk about the difference between rules, boundaries, and agreements, how some rules help couples feel safe, and how others quietly create more anxiety than security. We also explore how rules evolve over time, which ones tend to backfire, and what healthier alternatives can look like as couples gain experience. If you've ever wondered whether your rules are serving your relationship—or holding it back—this episode is for you.

Key Takeaways:Many nonprofit leaders enter the new year already depleted from the holiday rush. Emotional residue from 2025 lingers in the body and shapes early decisions. A reset begins by acknowledging how much energy was carried forward unnoticed.Leaders often bring guilt, unfinished conversations, and unresolved pressure into 2026. Closing loops matters more than fixing everything that happened. Release becomes the doorway to entering the new year with clarity and choice.Leadership begins with knowing your actual energetic capacity, not the idealized version. From that honesty, you choose what stays, what shifts, and what boundaries support you. Agreements rooted in calm reshape how you lead and how you protect your energy.Reclaiming means deciding who you are becoming and leading from that center. Leaders choose identities like calmer, clearer, or more sovereign and act from that energy. This practice restores agency and ensures no circumstance dictates your value. “If you don't pause or reset, you're going to step into the new year carrying the energy of the old one.” “Every boundary, every decision, every conversation, every interaction is going to come from that survival mode place - that's the lens through which you're going to view the world.” “Reclaiming your energy means consciously choosing the leadership identity you want to embody this year.” - Maryanne Dersch Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

As the harvest comes to a close, many farms are already negotiating their land rental agreements for 2026. Kelly Wilfert, UW-Extension Legal Specialist, says that getting things in writing is really critical. In speaking with Jill Welke, she says simple things like hunting rights during a lease should be written down. It protects not only the renter, but also the property owner. Warmer temperatures on the way, but don't get too comfortable. That's the advice of Stu Muck. Wisconsin will get back to feeling more "normal" temperatures at the beginning of next week. While the government is officially reopening, the workload that federal employees and agencies will have to overcome is large. Kiley Allan finds out about how the shutdown impacted growing season research with Dr. Shawn Conely, UW-Extension Soybean Specialist. Conley says a lot of the end-of-season harvest data was a "guess" without USDA's National Ag Statistical Service. What's more concerning to him is the delay in grant funding that's happened because of the shutdown. The talk/text line has been alive with activity from listeners sharing their Northern Light experiences. It's perfect timing since we're experiencing a solar maximum. What is it? Ben Jarboe finds out with Shawn Dahl, service coordinator with the Space Weather Prediction Center. If you've had issues this week with your phone, GPS, or yield monitor - this might explain it. Some USDA information trickled into the marketplace this week and it wasn't good news for dairy. Jenny Wackershauser, dairy analyst with EverAg in Platteville, joins Pam Jahnke to talk about the latest milk production numbers. While the market knew there would be growth, she says milk production went up over 4%. That was a surprise.

“Council is empowered — they're not using their power.” Brenda Faye Butler from Birmingham to Detroit—walks us through a life that links the Civil Rights South to the Eastside today: a coal miner's daughter who landed here after the 1967 uprising, trained at 14 by Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth to knock doors and teach neighbors the civics needed to pass voter tests, and later inside the Wayne County's first executive administration of Bill Lucas “setting up how government would run.” Brenda unpacks why council-by-district matters, how ARPA and CDBG dollars should “follow the people,” and why CRIO must truly monitor deals “If a developer says they met with the community—who?”. Brenda Butler is a community voice that represents the Eastside residents where politics and business connect. She's real about development math, tax abatements, and the difference between promises and delivery: “Stop saying jobs; people want careers.” We trace her organizing arc—from Chandler Park meetings during the housing crisis to tracking Stellantis benefits and flood relief gaps—tying it all to Legacy Black Detroit's past (migration, unions, church-led civics) and future (youth seats on CACs, manufacturing training, climate resilience). And as a write-in for District 4's Community Advisory Council, she makes it plain: “Bring everyone to the table. That's equity.” By the time she spells the ballot line—“Write in B-R-E-N-D-A F-A-Y-E B-U-T-L-E-R—coal miner's daughter working for us”—you'll hear why her voice maps where Detroit has been and where we're going.
