Podcasts about best advice

Most producers say they want to dominate 2026, yet many are still waiting for permission. Waiting for the “right time” to invest in themselves. Waiting to see if someone else will sign off on it. That mindset quietly keeps people stuck—and it's far more common than most want to admit.In this episode, I sit down with my client and friend, Andy Neary, for an honest, no-fluff conversation about what actually holds high performers back. We talk about why driven professionals often struggle with self-worth, why chasing a “guaranteed ROI” can sabotage momentum, and how confidence isn't something you wait to feel—it's something you build by consistently showing up for yourself.This is a real conversation about responsibility, ownership, and what it takes to stop playing small as the new year approaches.About The Guest: Andy Neary is a speaker, author, podcast host, and coach dedicated to helping professionals build the mindset, habits, and strategies needed to excel in business and life. A former professional baseball player in the Milwaukee Brewers organization, Andy leveraged discipline, unshakeable drive, and consistent daily habits to succeed at the highest level — despite being undersized for his position. Andy Neary - Speaker, Author, ConsultantToday, he applies those same lessons off the field through Complete Game Consulting, a coaching and training company he founded in 2019, where he advises insurance professionals and agencies on mindset, marketing, branding, and performance.

After nearly 400 conversations with Olympians, Paralympians, and trailblazing women athletes from 55 countries, one thing is clear: no two stories are alike.

We walk through four “better” choices that transform how we navigate an unpredictable world: contemplate your casket, choose your companions, cultivate your character, and consider your Creator.

Today we have a returning guest to the podcast. Leigh joined us back in Season 2 Episode 7 and today she's back to share some advice on how you treat the people around you.

Today's quick episode is all about the one thing most high achievers avoid but desperately need: space to think.So many of us stay busy out of habit, even when we say we want change. But your next level doesn't come from doing more—it comes from creating room for clarity, intuition, and the ideas you can't access when you're running nonstop.I'm sharing a powerful question I'm giving all my clients for 2026:If a billion-dollar CEO took over your business and life, what are the first three things they'd remove from your plate?To grow, you need four things: clarity, confidence, space, and delegation. And if you think you don't have time for any of this—I promise, your screen time says otherwise. If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating  and leave us a comment on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser and Castbox about what you'd like us to talk about that will help you realize that at any moment, any day, you too can decide, it's your turn! 

In today's mini-episode, our guest leader talks about career patience and taking feedback to the next level.

Ever wonder why your best advice falls flat? Or why it's hard to give good feedback successfully? If you've ever struggled with giving feedback that doesn't stick, managing teams that feel disconnected, or making decisions with incomplete information, this episode offers a mindset shift that transforms not just conversations, but organizational culture itself.You've been there: a colleague asks for help, you offer your hard-won wisdom, and it lands like a lead balloon. They've already tried it. Or worse, they nod politely and do nothing. Or you offer mentorship to help a new team member or someone earlier in their career avoid the mistakes you made. You thought you were doing them a favor but instead, it felt unappreciated. The problem? You diagnosed and told before you understood.Peter Schein—consultant, author, and collaborator with his late father, legendary MIT Professor Ed Schein—joins me to explore Humble Inquiry, a deceptively simple practice that transforms how leaders navigate complexity and improve organizational effectiveness. This isn't about active listening techniques you learned in your last training. It's about fundamentally shifting a culturally-embedded mindset from transactional, efficiency-focused exchanges to one that requires the art and attitude for greater human effectiveness.We dive into why efficiency often sabotages effectiveness, how AI and remote work make this skill more critical than ever, and what types of conversations unlock breakthrough thinking.***ABOUT OUR GUEST:Peter Schein is a consultant, author and keynote speaker based in Menlo Park, CA. Following a 30 year career in Silicon Valley, Peter teamed up with his father, renowned MIT Professor Ed Schein to start the Organizational Culture and Leadership Institute. Over eight years together Peter and Ed published seven books and numerous papers on Humble Inquiry, Organizational Culture, Careers, and Humble Leadership. Peters continues the work following his father's death in 2023 with the recent release of Humble Inquiry 3rd Edition. Peter has a BA in Social Anthropology from Stanford and an MBA from Kellogg/Northwestern.***FIND OUR GUEST HERE:www.ocli.org***IF YOU ENJOYED THIS EPISODE, CAN I ASK A FAVOR?We do not receive any funding or sponsorship for this podcast.
