Mita Mallick, Wall Street Journal–bestselling author and workplace strategist, examines how everyday managerial choices determine whether organizations are resilient, humane, and productive. Drawing on her leadership roles in marketing and human resources, as well as her lived experience as a woman of color in corporate America, she reframes common leadership breakdowns as design failures that can be prevented with the right structures. As she emphasizes, “There is power in being quiet.” Used deliberately, silence becomes a tool to pause, observe, and de-escalate rather than react impulsively.   This episode delivers concrete practices senior leaders can apply now: Use silence deliberately. The “power of the pause” creates thinking space, defuses escalation, and strengthens negotiation outcomes. Leaders should model this and teach teams to signal reflection rather than defaulting to instant responses. Manage up with discipline. Mallick recommends structured, written briefings before talent reviews or board conversations so sponsors can “accurately tell your story” without relying on biased memory. Detect leadership drift early. She observes that leaders often falter when “external market stress, personal stress, and organizational pressure all collide.” Each executive should know their stress-trigger behaviors and plan for corrective action. Design role transitions intentionally. Promotion into people leadership requires coaching, clear expectations, and viable technical career paths for high-performing individual contributors. Replace ad hoc tolerance with governance. “We protect harmful leaders because they deliver results,” she warns. Leaders must enforce HR processes consistently rather than granting exceptions that damage culture. Teach rather than micromanage. Explaining rationale, setting standards, and investing in instruction yields lasting capability—“training sticks more than corrections.” Rebuild trust through apology and consistency. A sincere acknowledgment of mistakes paired with steady, visible actions restores credibility faster than one-time gestures. Create high-trust, low-drama operating norms. Clear rules for communication channels, urgency, and information-sharing reduce gossip and anxiety, replacing speculation with facts. For executives responsible for people, operations, or culture, this conversation provides a practical checklist: stop treating leadership problems as individual personality flaws, surface stress signals systematically, and convert empathy into repeatable management routines that protect both performance and retention.

Ever catch yourself running harder and faster in business, more tech, more hustle yet secretly longing for a slower, simpler rhythm?In this Happy Hustle Podcast, I share the Guest Guru training of Ryan Levesque—7-time Inc. 5000 CEO, 2-time #1 National Best-Selling Author, and all-around legend. Ryan's built multiple businesses past the $100M mark, sold two of them, and then hit reset by moving his family to a 500-acre farm in Vermont. Now he's raising cattle, tapping maple trees, and teaching what he calls the “Return to Real” in a world obsessed with AI. Why tune in? Because Ryan's not only cracked the business code, he's also figured out how to protect what matters most—family, health, and meaning—while still thriving as an entrepreneur.Here are a few powerful lessons from Ryan's training:Hands in the dirt beats eyes on the screen. When life feels synthetic, grounding yourself in real-world work and nature restores clarity and balance.Think beyond the screen. The best connections often happen in analog ways—like books, handwritten notes, or shared in-person experiences.Build trust, not just clicks. Oxytocin (the chemistry of trust and bonding) beats dopamine every time. Storytelling, honesty, and humor connect far deeper than flashy growth hacks.Unscalable is unbeatable. It's the personalized touches—the call, the hug, the gift that can't be copied or automated, and that's exactly what makes them powerful.Be a category of one. Nobody can outcompete you at being you. Share your unique point of view, your contrarian beliefs, and your true mission. That's how you stand out.This episode is about more than growing revenue. It's about building a life that feels alive aligned with what you value most. Ryan reminds us that while AI and tech are here to stay, the edge belongs to those who bring humanity, depth, and authenticity into every interaction.Connect with Ryanhttps://www.instagram.com/askryanlevesque/https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanlevesque/https://www.facebook.com/ryan.levesqueFind Ryan on this website: https://thedigitalcontrarian.comConnect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

Welcome to The High Performance Mindset Podcast, where we help you master your mindset to gain the high performance edge. My name is Dr. Cindra Kamphoff, and today I am thrilled to share my conversation with Jim Murphy—author of Inner Excellence. You might have heard about Jim's book on January 12 when AJ Brown of the Philadelphia Eagles was reading his book on the slide lines of a NFL Game. To be honest, I thought to myself, I have read so many performance psychology books, how will this one be different? But after a recommendation from a colleague, I read the book this summer and loved it. Jim provides so much wisdom and tools in the book! It is amazing. Jim has spent decades studying what allows athletes and leaders to thrive under pressure. In this episode, he opens up about his five years of research with Olympic coaches and sport psychologists, and the surprising discoveries that shaped his Inner Excellence model. We talk about his viral moment when AJ Brown was spotted reading his book on the sidelines, and what it was like to see his work inspire so many people. You'll hear Jim explain his three “Us” framework—being unembarrassable, unoffendable, and unirritable—and how these qualities help you live and perform with freedom. We also discuss the dangers of ego and self-centeredness, the trap of expectations, and how to stay focused on the process rather than outcomes. This is a conversation packed with wisdom you'll want to revisit again and again. Before we jump in, at the Mentally Strong Institute, we help athletes and leaders achieve their goals quicker, uplevel their confidence, and increase their influence.

Most entrepreneurs have a powerful story inside them—but too often, it stays untold. Without authority and visibility, opportunities slip by, and their message never reaches the audience it could transform. That's where Melanie Johnson comes in. After running two $100 million TV stations, she launched Elite Online Publishing and has since helped over 3,000 entrepreneurs become bestselling authors. By combining her media expertise with today's AI tools, Melanie shows business leaders how to turn their stories into authority, influence, and massive opportunities. https://youtu.be/cCjMhksoRRI In this episode, Melanie reveals why publishing is one of the most effective ways to build credibility, how AI is changing the landscape of writing and content creation, and the strategies entrepreneurs can use to go from invisible to unforgettable. Whether you're a coach, consultant, or founder, you'll discover how to leverage your story as a business asset, create lasting impact, and position yourself as the go-to expert in your industry. Quotes: “A book can be the cornerstone of your content. From one book, you can create thousands of pieces of marketing.” “Self-publishing should really be called DIY publishing—because unless you hire experts, you're trying to learn plumbing, electricity, and construction all at once.” “Most authors think, ‘I wrote my book, I'm done.' But that's when the real work begins—marketing, leveraging, and selling.” “Confidence is the biggest barrier. Even presidents of NFL teams wonder, ‘What if my book sucks?'” “In business, in writing a book, there are ups and downs. It's like a Rubik's Cube—just keep moving the pieces until they line up."

What if the next season of your life is the one where everything comes together—your experience, your confidence, and your legacy?I had such a heartfelt conversation with Wendi Brown about her chapter You Are a Profit Powerhouse in Power of What's NEXT: Bold Moves By Design.

Use it.” She also shared a reminder that made me pause—“Confidence without experience is a liability.”What I love about Wendi is how she sees women over 50 as having an incredible advantage. Instead of slowing down, this is the moment to lean into everything you've learned and step forward with boldness.Here are just a few things you'll take away from our conversation: ✨ How your legacy can be the strongest foundation for your future. ✨ Why confidence and experience together create unstoppable momentum. ✨ The real advantage women have in the second half of their careers.

Join us as Ocean House owner and award-winning author Deborah Goodrich Royce moderates a conversation with our featured author, Jessa Maxwell, a nationally bestselling author. About the Author: Jessa Maxwell is the nationally bestselling author of The Golden Spoon, I Need You to Read This, and Dead of Summer. She is also the author and illustrator of five picture books for children. Her comics and cartoons have been published in The New Yorker and The New York Times and her writing has been published in Slate, Marie Claire, and many others. She now lives in Jamestown, Rhode Island, with her husband, two cats and three-legged dog. About The Book: Years after her best friend mysteriously disappeared from a remote New England island, a young woman returns in search of answers in this atmospheric and scintillating thriller from Jessa Maxwell, nationally bestselling author of the “deliciously entertaining” (Sarah Penner, New York Times bestselling author) The Golden Spoon. Orla O'Connor hasn't been to the isolated New England enclave of Hadley Island since she graduated from high school a decade ago. As a teenager, her best friend Alice disappeared from its shores without a trace—but with plenty of rumors. Now, Orla returns to her family's beachfront home to clean it out before her parents sell it. The island and her best friend's house next door, abandoned after her family left in grief, are stirring up memories she would like to avoid. Then there are the locals, always gossiping and watching Orla's every move. Worst of all, David, Orla's childhood crush and son of a wealthy Manhattan family, is back for the summer with his new, impossibly pretty girlfriend, Faith. Faith suspects that David is going to propose but as soon as she settles into his family's sprawling Hadley Island estate, she feels out of place. She anticipated a luxurious summer of fun and romance, but David is never around—lured into business conversations with his entrepreneur father from dawn to dusk. With nothing else to do, Faith begins to investigate the island's dark past, curious about what really happened to Alice all those years ago. Meanwhile, local Henry hasn't left his house since the young girl went missing, in an attempt to let the accusations against him die down. Except they never have. For years, Henry has had an endless supply of time to pursue his only hobby, watching the island from his telescope and recording the activities of its inhabitants. But Orla's return has shaken him and lately he's been seeing strange things: shadowy figures walking on the beach in the middle of the night and a light on in the upstairs window of the long-abandoned house of the missing girl. When there's another disappearance on the island, all three find themselves pulled into an eerie and twisty mystery that will haunt them for the rest of their lives.

You'll hear why urgency often backfires, how to avoid the “bitter barn,” and how to plant short, sticky phrases your daughter will actually remember.
