Sales leaders have more data than ever, but data alone does not tell you what is happening or what to do next. On Episode 93 of Moving Into the Future, host Jack Macejka sits down with Jason Mesiarik, Founder of MANAGEMENT OS, to explore how artificial intelligence is changing the way sales leaders manage pipelines, coach teams, develop talent and make critical business decisions. Jason explains why so much of the traditional sales technology stack was built for sales reps rather than the people leading them. They discuss the decline of traditional sales training and mentorship, using AI to analyze sales behaviors and buyer signals, identifying future leaders, improving time management and avoiding costly hiring mistakes. The conversation also examines where AI should stop. Rather than replacing human judgment, Jason sees AI as a way to give leaders greater visibility into their businesses and help them make faster, more informed decisions. As AI becomes embedded in sales organizations, the question may no longer be whether leaders should use it, but how quickly they can learn to use it effectively.

Dr. Matt Evans joins AAEP Practice Life podcast co-hosts Drs. Travis Boston and Jessica Dunbar to share his unexpected journey from a veterinarian with little horse experience to an equine dentistry specialist, practice leader, comedian, author, and advocate for a healthier culture in veterinary medicine. In this episode, Matt discusses how he built his career in equine practice, and also explains how comedy became an important part of his professional and personal life. He shares why humor can help veterinarians manage imposter syndrome, build stronger relationships, and develop resilience during the difficult early years of practice. From writing down three funny things each week to using inside jokes to strengthen team connections, Matt offers practical ways to bring more laughter and connection into the workplace. Matt talks about his new book, his decision to take a sabbatical from veterinary medicine, and his mission to speak with veterinary students and teams about humor, mentorship, and overcoming self-doubt. His story is a reminder that you do not have to begin with perfect experience or complete confidence to find your place in equine medicine.       Sponsored by: AAEP Practice Life is sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim.

Most leaders treat grief and burnout like a personal weakness. James Dismond thinks differently.James became a CEO for the first time in 2023. Ninety days in, his mother entered hospice care, and he found himself running a hospice organization while sitting on the other side of the bed as a grieving son. That experience changed how he leads, and this conversation is about what it changed. He and Dr. Mira Brancu get into why saying "that person is burning out" quietly moves the blame onto the wrong shoulders, what he actually did to carry an entire organization through a rebrand and expansion without gutting their trust, and the practice he built to replace the useless feedback sandwich. He also talks about when to let a good person fail on purpose, and why he refuses to fake it until he makes it.If you have ever had to hold someone accountable while they were falling apart, this one is for you.Subscribe for weekly conversations on leadership, burnout, and workplace mental health.Find our guest here:Connect with James Dismond: https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-dismond/https://www.linkedin.com/company/mirasolhealthhttps://mirasolhealth.org/ To find more of my work:Subscribe to this channelSubscribe to my free newsletter at: mailchi.mp/2079c04f4d44/subscribeWork with me one-on-one: calendly.com/mira-brancu/30-minute-initial-consultationConnect with me on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/MiraBrancuLearn more about my services: www.gotowerscope.comGet practical workplace politics tips from my books: gotowerscope.com/booksGet my free Strategic Clarity and Leadership Resilience assessment: https://mailchi.mp/e1ebf8505764/slr-assessment Get my Free Burnout Root Cause Assessment: https://mailchi.mp/29d7d18fae4a/burnout-root-cause-assessmentGet my Workplace Grief Guide: https://mailchi.mp/46873b910380/workplace-grief-field-guide Find other free resources to support your leadership growth: https://gotowerscope.com/other-free-stuff Join the next Towerscope leadership workshop or fellowship: https://gotowerscope.com/fellowship Episodes and other resources referenced:Watch this next: https://youtu.be/Yh04IHzEMqU?si=V7HzqPP4qg7_qT23

"I think trying to be a good leader is making some of us worse leaders."Leadership isn't about being empathetic, decisive, vulnerable, confident, collaborative, and authoritative all at once. It's about knowing what this moment requires from you.In this episode, Dawn takes you back to her own kitchen, tea going cold, running through the "good leader" checklist in her head before a hard conversation with someone on her team. From there, she breaks down the four-question framework she uses instead of the checklist, the one that helps her (and the founders she coaches) stop performing leadership and start strengthening judgment. If you're tired of second-guessing hard decisions, managing everyone's reactions, or wondering whether you're doing leadership "right," this one's for you.Stop performing the checklist. Start trusting your judgment.Want practical ways to use AI to become a stronger, more effective leader?

One Big Idea 6 - Driving Purpose-Driven Growth: From Identity Alignment and Cellular Health to Executive ResiliencyIn this episode of One Big Idea, host Josh Elledge connects with Carol Pyke, Dr. Paul Barattiero, Emily Lyman, Stewart Heath, Tanny Diep, and Rachel Apfel Glass to break down the operational strategies required to build enduring brands, optimize human performance, and scale multi-faceted enterprises. Carol Pyke, Keynote Speaker & Workshop Facilitator at Words That Deliver, opens the episode by detailing why executive self-identity serves as an irreplaceable differentiator in an AI-driven economy. Dr. Paul Barattiero, CEO and Founder of LumaNova, then explores the physiological impact of molecular hydrogen on cellular energy and executive performance. Next, Branch & Bramble Founder & CEO Emily Lyman breaks down how direct-to-consumer brands can operationalize empathy to boost customer lifetime value. Stewart Heath, Chief Executive Officer of Harvard Grace Corporation, details the mechanics of syndications and tax-advantaged passive real estate investing. Sway Brows Academy & Studio Founder Tanny Diep introduces the prototyping mindset to help creators convert early action into viable business models. Finally, Gloss Lab and OFICINALE Founder Rachel Apfel Glass closes the episode by sharing the strategic advantages, emotional composure, and risk management strategies of second-time founders.Discovering Your True Identity to Become a Better Leader with Carol PykeIn an era where artificial intelligence can quickly replicate strategic frameworks, generate marketing copy, and automate routine workflows, many corporate leaders struggle to articulate their true value proposition. Personal brand strategist Carol Pyke explains that her "one big idea" addresses this exact challenge: core identity is the ultimate, non-replicable foundation of executive leadership. Drawing from her personal experience of overcoming retrograde amnesia following a stroke, Carol illustrates how professionals frequently mistake temporary external roles, job titles, and career achievements for their actual self-worth. Utilizing her "Mrs. Potato Head" analogy—where the underlying potato represents the unchangeable core and external accessories represent transient professional titles—she challenges leaders to discover who they are before deciding what to execute.To build an unshakeable executive presence that eliminates imposter syndrome, leaders must actively separate their internal identity from external metrics. Carol outlines actionable exercises, such as auditing LinkedIn profiles to remove job-title labels and reframing challenging events by separating raw facts from emotional reactions. By shifting away from short-term public validation and committing to deep self-reflection, executives can lead with absolute authenticity. In a volatile business landscape, establishing a clear, grounded identity enables leaders to make confident, value-aligned decisions that build long-term organizational trust.The Natural Antioxidant Your Body Needs for Energy and Immunity with LumaNova's Dr. Paul BarattieroSustained executive performance, mental clarity, and operational endurance depend heavily on underlying cellular health, yet chronic stress and poor lifestyle habits constantly degrade performance. Dr. Paul Barattiero explains that his "one big idea" centers on the therapeutic role of molecular hydrogen in combating systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. While a healthy colon naturally produces hydrogen gas through anaerobic bacterial activity, over 90% of individuals suffer from gut disruption caused by stress, processed diets, and antibiotics. This breakdown diminishes natural hydrogen production, leading to cellular fatigue, brain fog, and weakened immune function.To counteract these physical bottlenecks, Dr. Paul outlines how restoring molecular hydrogen levels can significantly improve cellular energy production and gut microbiome health. Infusing water with molecular hydrogen and a negative electrical potential mimics a healthy gut ecosystem, providing a selective antioxidant that neutralizes harmful free radicals without disrupting beneficial metabolic processes. For busy founders and high-performing executives, incorporating daily hydrogen therapy helps lower recovery times, sharpen cognitive focus, and protect long-term physical vitality.Building Stronger Direct-to-Consumer Brands Through Empathy and AI with Branch & Bramble's Emily LymanAs automated generative tools flood consumer inboxes and social feeds with generic marketing messages, direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands face a severe crisis of consumer indifference. Marketing strategist Emily Lyman highlights that her "one big idea" redefines empathy: it is not a soft interpersonal skill, but a measurable, business-critical growth strategy. Because human purchasing decisions are driven primarily by emotional connection rather than feature lists, brands that rely solely on automated, spec-heavy copy fail to build lasting customer relationships. By leveraging AI strictly for data research—mining customer reviews, support tickets, and social sentiment for underlying emotional patterns—marketers can uncover what truly resonates with their audience.To operationalize empathy across multi-channel campaigns, brands must establish structured frameworks to research, score, and scale emotional resonance. Emily emphasizes that while AI can efficiently surface data trends, human strategists must interpret those findings to craft authentic, value-driven brand narratives. Reframing product messaging around customer values—such as positioning safety features around protecting family experiences rather than listing technical specifications—dramatically improves conversion rates and long-term retention. Treating empathy as a core marketing discipline enables DTC companies to cut through digital noise and build enduring brand equity.Everything You Need to Know About Syndications and Passive Investing with Harvard Grace Capital's Stewart HeathMany high-earning professionals remain trapped on the corporate treadmill because their financial growth depends entirely on active, earned income that carries heavy tax burdens. Real estate executive Stewart Heath shares his core thesis: passive real estate syndications provide a reliable, tax-advantaged path to replacing working income and building generational wealth. Commercial real estate offers built-in inflation protection, tangible asset backing, and equity multiplication through conservative leverage. Furthermore, pass-through tax benefits like accelerated depreciation allow investors to offset passive distributions, shielding their cash flow from heavy taxation.Achieving true financial independence through passive real estate requires a disciplined approach to sponsor selection and deal structuring. Stewart advises investors to thoroughly vet real estate sponsors by analyzing their historical track records, operational transparency, risk-management protocols, and alignment of interest through preferred return structures. Investors can also utilize self-directed IRAs or 401(k)s to deploy tax-deferred capital into commercial syndications across multiple property types. By focusing on steady cash-flowing assets and reinvesting refinancing proceeds, passive investors can systematically construct a resilient portfolio that delivers predictable, long-term returns.Turning Early Practice into Real Business Opportunities with Sway Brows Academy & Studio's Tanny DiepA common trap for aspiring entrepreneurs and creative professionals is falling into "analysis paralysis"—spending months over-preparing, conducting endless market research, and perfecting products behind closed doors before ever testing them with real customers. Beauty industry educator and business coach Tanny Diep introduces her "one big idea": actionable business clarity does not exist until you launch and test in the real world. Relying on theory or simulated practice creates a false sense of security, whereas immediate real-world deployment provides the critical feedback needed to refine an offering.To convert concepts into viable business opportunities, founders must adopt a lean, prototyping mindset. Tanny encourages entrepreneurs to simplify their initial offerings down to a minimum viable product (MVP), launch quickly to a target audience, and gather direct market feedback. Overcoming perfectionism requires making an offering exist first before attempting to make it perfect. By pairing immediate execution with fast, iterative refinement, business owners build operational resilience, cultivate genuine client confidence, and establish a distinct competitive edge.The Entrepreneurial Comeback That Proves Patience Pays Off with Rachel GlassLaunching a second or serial venture is a fundamentally different experience than building a first company, primarily due to the emotional composure and perspective gained from past setbacks. Serial entrepreneur Rachel Apfel Glass shares her insights as a second-time founder, presenting her "one big idea": sustainable entrepreneurial growth relies on emotional resilience and protective detachment. While first-time founders often view every vendor mistake or operational hiccup as an existential crisis, experienced founders learn to manage emotional swings, anticipate normal operational friction, and approach problems with a calm, solution-oriented mindset.Navigating second-time entrepreneurship successfully requires transforming hard-won lessons into systematic operational playbooks. Rachel highlights how managing founder anxiety involves normalizing daily business challenges and leaning heavily on an established...

Explore the psychology of effective leadership and the hidden mental patterns that influence how you handle fear, failure, and change. A leader can learn new skills, adopt ambitious goals, and proudly claim a growth mindset—yet still remain trapped by the way they interpret the world. Sure, you might believe people can change, but... Are you willing to hear what you do not want to hear, pursue what matters instead of merely avoiding loss, and see the people around you as human beings rather than instruments. In this episode, Ryan Gottfredson explores the four mindsets that shape leadership psychology: fixed or growth, closed or open, prevention or promotion, and inward or outward. Together, they explain why two people can face the same problem and produce entirely different results. More encouragingly, these mindsets can be improved through small, repeated interventions—sometimes involving little more than reflection, better questions, and five minutes of honest journaling. Separate your identity from the possibility of being wrong. Choose a meaningful destination instead of drifting away from danger. Ask how your decisions affect the people you lead. Listen closely, find the lens you have been carrying, and decide what becomes possible when you change it.

Margery Kraus is the Founder and Executive Chairman of APCO Worldwide, a company she started in 1984 as a small subsidiary of a Washington, D.C. law firm and built into a global consultancy with roughly 1,200 people across 35 locations.Her story, though, starts much earlier. The child of immigrants whose family fled Nazi Europe, passed through Cuba and eventually rebuilt their lives in America, Margery grew up around resilience, risk and starting again.We talk about how that shaped the entrepreneur she became, why she refused to listen when people told her “you can't do that,” and what it was really like building a global company while raising a family.We also get into the 2004 management buyout that helped make APCO one of the world's largest majority women-owned consulting firms, how you step back from leading a company you built without really letting go, and what four decades advising some of the world's most influential leaders have taught her about who thrives under pressure and who doesn't.Recorded in Dalian, China, during the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting of the New Champions, we also look at the world right now: China's place in the global economy, shifting trade relationships and what the rest of the world may be getting wrong about this moment.And then there's AI. Margery says it's the thing that keeps her up at night. For someone who has built a career and a business around human trust, judgment and relationships, I wanted to know why.A fascinating conversation with someone who has spent more than 40 years building, adapting and refusing to stand still.Special thanks to the World Economic Forum for bringing us together in Dalian.

Leadership Availability vs ProductivityIf you've ever promised yourself you'd switch your phone off for an hour, only to find your hand reaching for it ten minutes later, this episode is for you.In this episode of The Leaders Kitbag, I explore why being unavailable, something most leaders find genuinely uncomfortable, might be one of the most useful things you can do for your team.We've all had the moment where we picture switching off and our brain goes straight to the risk. What if my boss needs me? What if my team hits a problem and can't reach me? That fear is real. But it's only looking at one side of the equation.Because there's an upside to being unavailable that goes well beyond you getting your own work done. Without meaning to, a lot of us have trained our teams to come straight to us the moment a problem arises, which makes us the bottleneck and keeps us constantly interrupted. When you're genuinely not reachable, your team has to work things out for themselves.I share why that pattern needs breaking, and a simple experiment you can run this week to find out what actually happens when you switch off properly.In this episode, you will learn:Why it takes so long to mentally refocus after a distraction, and what that costs your dayHow constant availability can quietly train your team to stop thinking for themselvesThe two hidden costs of always being the one with the answerWhy short periods of genuine unavailability can make your team more resourcefulA simple experiment to test what happens when you properly switch off for an hourBen's Key TakeawayBeing unavailable isn't neglecting your team, it's giving them the chance to think for themselves.Without realising it, many of us train our teams the way Pavlov trained his dogs: problem arises, come to the boss, get the answer. That pattern makes us the bottleneck in our own team and keeps us constantly interrupted.If you want your people to think for themselves, that pattern has to be broken somewhere, and your unavailability can be exactly where it breaks. Pick one block of time this week, even just sixty minutes, and go properly unavailable. Notice what breaks. It's probably less than you think. And notice what your team works out without you.If you found this useful, please hit follow or subscribe wherever you're watching or listening.

In this episode of The Modern High Performer, I'm joined by Marc Pitman, founder of the Concord Leadership Group and author of The Surprising Gift of Doubt, for a conversation about something even highly successful leaders experience: uncertainty. We talk about what happens when doubt starts creeping into your leadership, career, finances, or identity and why that uncertainty doesn't necessarily mean you're on the wrong path. Sometimes, it's an invitation to lead differently. In this conversation, we explore: Why self-doubt often surfaces when leaders enter a new season or level of growth How to separate failure from your identity and give yourself permission to get things wrong The difference between healthy vulnerability and oversharing as a leader Why having safe people and strong support systems matters when you're carrying significant responsibility How scarcity, fear, and your inner critic can influence leadership decisions Why dropping the "mask and armor" can create more authentic collaboration and connection Practical tools for understanding your leadership style and working through moments of doubt Marc also shares some of the personal failures, pivots, and unexpected seasons that shaped the way he leads today. If you're navigating a season where the old answers aren't working anymore, this conversation offers a different way to look at uncertainty, not as something you need to eliminate, but as information you can learn to lead through.

Too many producers operate from a place of scarcity - they walk into discovery meetings desperate for the win, giving off an energy that actually repels prospects. If you want to scale your book and become a true industry expert, you have to completely shift your mindset: stop needing the deal, and start making it entirely about the buyer.My guest, Jon Slusser, Chief Growth Officer at Gibson, joins me to discuss how to cultivate this "Elite Mindset." Jon shares his journey from being a self-described "turd" and selfish college soccer forward to becoming an ego-free, collaborative sales leader. We discuss the necessity of "detaching" from a deal, why new producers must operate with a sense of urgency (and avoid the "salary guarantee trap"), and how Gibson uses the "4 C's" to successfully integrate new talent alongside gray-haired veterans. Jon also opens up about his son Leo, a true "one-of-one," and how facing an unprecedented medical journey clarified his ultimate priorities as a father, husband, and professional.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callhttps://completegameu.com/request-a-callTimestamped Outline(00:00) The Mastodons and Nepotism: How Jon Found His Way to Insurance(04:54) The Worst Teammate: A Harsh Soccer Lesson That Built a Better Leader(07:37) The Necessity of Coachability: Identifying Natural Curiosity and Humility(10:33) Shifting Mindsets: Detaching from the Deal and Leading with Abundance(13:00) The Unseen Force of Sales: How Prospects Feel Your Scarcity Energy(14:50) "If You Can't Be My Friend, You Can't Be in My Book of Business"(16:32) Advice for New Producers: Bring Your Future Forward and Ditch the Waiting Game(18:31) The Trap of Salary Guarantees: Finding the Sweet Spot of Urgency(21:40) Gibson's Training Strategy: Niche Focus, Defined Buyers, and Veteran Support(25:01) The 4 C's of Producer Development: Clarity, Connection, Contribution, and Commitment(26:44) The Tampa Bay Epiphany: Transitioning from Top Producer to "Hero Maker"(31:13) Leo's Story: Controlling the Controllables During a 103-Day NICU Stay(37:34) Jon's Lightning Round: The 4:30 AM Five Pillar Routine, Marathon Training, and The Purple CowCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

She is best known for her 12-year tenure at The Wall Street Journal, and for authoring the New York Times bestseller I Am Not a Robot. Key Learnings  Joanna dedicated her book to her parents "who taught me to think for myself, and the AIs, robots, and machines that made me wonder if I really was." In an age when AI can do the thinking for us, the most valuable thing we can teach our kids is to think for themselves. Walt Mossberg invented tech journalism for humans. His first column: "Computers are too hard to use, and it's not your fault." Without Walt, we don't have a category where technology built for humans is reviewed by humans. AI won't replace the radiologist. It'll make them better. Joanna sat with her doctor while AI scanned her mammogram. The AI flagged three suspicious spots. Two the doctor had already dismissed as benign. But one was something the doctor hadn't caught. She marked it for follow-up. Then the doctor pointed to other cases where SHE had caught things the AI missed. It's not a replacement. It's a partnership. The same technology that finds cancer is the same technology that can autonomously send missiles. That's the great tension of our time. Every powerful technology has good and bad uses. AI colleagues are coming. Joanna has two employees and one AI agent. She predicts that within a year, she'll have full AI employees. Great management books haven't been written yet about how to lead a mixed team of humans and agents. Someone is going to write them. Concert ticket prices tell you everything about human connection right now. Every artist is selling out football stadiums. People are craving in-person interaction more than ever. Bot Girl Summer. Joanna tried to have an emotional relationship with a chatbot boyfriend named Evan for 48 hours. She didn't fall in love. But she noticed how easy it was to talk to something that only wanted to hear about her problems and told her she was great at everything. That's the danger. The AI therapist shut itself down when it realized there was a real therapist in the room. Joanna brought her AI therapist "Ash" into her actual therapy session. Halfway through, Ash said, "I'm sorry, I can't continue this conversation. It sounds like there are multiple people in the room." AI won't replace therapists. It'll help with the shortage and the stigma. Some people don't want to walk into a therapist's office. But they'll open their phones. That's a bridge to real help for people who wouldn't otherwise get it. Kara Swisher's career advice to Joanna: "Leave your fucking job." That was the shortest, cleanest advice Joanna got when deciding whether to leave the Wall Street Journal after 12 years. Joanna used AI as a co-founder for the biggest decision of her career. She uploaded 12 years of notes into ChatGPT and asked it to help her decide whether to leave the Journal. It didn't decide for her. But it structured the risk analysis, laid out the escape hatches, and helped her see the shape of the decision. The muscles atrophy if you don't use them. Writing is meant to be hard. Thinking is meant to be hard. If you outsource the hard work, you stop getting stronger at the hard work. Research is where you learn the most. If you have AI pull the memo for you and you get up and read it, you don't know what you're really talking about. You have to do the reps to know the material. AEI: Already Enough Intelligence. Sam Altman is obsessed with building superintelligence. Joanna proposes we already have enough intelligence to work with. Maybe the goal isn't to build smarter models. Maybe it's to figure out what to do with what we already have. The AI on-ramp for leaders: Take one document you make all the time (a memo, a PowerPoint, an email template). Upload it. Ask AI to make a template out of it. Next time you need it, you're twice as fast.  Push yourself to do the harder work. Joanna's analogy: marathon runners are insane. They just want to run. Nobody wants to do the harder work. But that's where the growth is. Joanna's champagne moment a year from now: milestones for her new company. She's already hit 100,000 YouTube subscribers three months after her first video. But she also just wants a nap. Reflection Questions Where in your work are you outsourcing the thinking to AI? Are the muscles you actually need atrophying because you're skipping the reps? If you accepted that you already have enough intelligence to work with, what would you actually build with what's in front of you right now?

What if the reason you're exhausted isn't because you're leading your business but because you're carrying responsibilities that were never yours in the first place?Burnout doesn't always come from working too many hours. Sometimes it comes from accepting responsibility for outcomes you can't actually control. In this episode, Dawn unpacks the leadership shift that helped her stop carrying jobs nobody hired her to do and why so many female founders unknowingly fall into the same trap.If you're constantly rescuing your team, reclaiming delegated work, or feeling like everything eventually lands back on your desk, this episode will help you redefine your role, strengthen your leadership, and create healthier ownership throughout your business.If you're tired of being the person every decision flows through, start by strengthening your leadership with AI.

In this episode of The 20/20 Podcast, Harbir welcomes back Conor Heaney, founder of Optical Success Academy and owner of Jones & Co., a premium independent optometry and optical boutique in Manchester, UK. This conversation was so packed with value that it has been split into two parts. In Part 1, Harbir and Conor explore what it really takes to move an independent practice forward—not just by working harder, but by stepping back, gaining clarity, developing your team, and implementing changes consistently.Harbir shares his own experience after spending the past year inside Optical Success Academy, including the practical changes that have made the biggest difference at Clarity Eyecare. From weekly team meetings and better phone conversations to creating a more intentional patient experience, this episode is full of real-world lessons for practice owners who want to improve their leadership, team culture, and patient journey.Conor also breaks down the idea of “critical non-essentials”—the small details that may not seem directly related to optometry, but completely shape how patients feel about your practice. Whether it is the way a patient is greeted, how your space looks and feels, or something as simple as offering a drink, these moments can elevate the entire patient experience.This episode is especially valuable for independent practice owners who feel busy, stretched, or stuck in the day-to-day. If you have ever felt like you are trying to “brute force” your way to growth, this conversation offers a more thoughtful path forward: better leadership, stronger implementation, more intentional team development, and a renewed focus on creating an experience patients remember.Key TakeawaysWorking harder is not always the answer.Many practice owners get stuck trying to solve problems by doing more of the same. Conor explains why growth often requires pausing, reflecting, and making strategic choices instead of simply seeing more patients or putting out more fires.Weekly team meetings can transform implementation.Harbir shares how blocking dedicated time for team meetings became one of the most impactful changes in his practice. Those meetings created space to discuss challenges, celebrate wins, train the team, follow up on new systems, and keep important ideas from falling through the cracks.The patient experience is shaped by more than clinical care.Conor introduces the concept of “critical non-essentials”—the non-clinical details that strongly influence how patients perceive your practice. These may include the environment, music, hospitality, drinks, and the overall feeling patients have when they walk through the door.Guest InfoConor Heaney is an optometrist, practice owner, and founder of Optical Success Academy. He owns Jones & Co. in Manchester, UK, a premium independent optical boutique known for its elevated eyewear experience and strong focus on service, leadership, and practice differentiation.Love the show?

S6:E57 Leadership has never been more complex. Organizations have more technology than ever, yet many leaders feel less connected to the people they lead.

Debra Schifrin (MBA 2007) harnesses the hard skills of playful performance  

In this episode, we discuss how leaders learn and why information alone doesn't create growth. We explore the difference between consuming content and changing behavior, and why conversations with coaches, mentors, and teammates are often the catalyst for real transformation. Through practical examples, we highlight the importance of execution, accountability, and being willing to be challenged in order to become a better leader.

What if the conversation you're avoiding is the one your business needs most?A lot of founders start a business because they have an idea, a product, or a vision they believe in. But at some point, building the business also means learning how to lead people, give feedback, handle tension, and communicate when things feel uncertain.Ashli Carter, senior lecturer in management at Columbia Business School, helps leaders build the skills that matter most in those moments: trust, self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and difficult conversations.In this episode, Ashli shares practical ways to prepare before a tough conversation and how to build trust with your team even when you're still figuring things out.If you've ever struggled to give feedback or felt like leadership was the part of entrepreneurship no one prepared you for, this episode is for you.Watch the full conversation on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@ThisissmallbusinessIn this episode of This Is Small Business, you'll learn:(01:24) — What leadership really asks of small business owners(03:54) — How Self-Awareness Makes You a Better Leader(05:57) — How to Stay Grounded When Feedback Feels Overwhelming(08:13) — How to Make Difficult Conversations Productive(12:13) — Why perfection can get in the way of leadership and how to overcome it

What if your greatest obstacle is actually your greatest qualification?This week, Jon Goehring and Coach Jim Johnson welcome Diana Fritz, dynamic executive leader, cancer thriver, Maxwell Leadership certified coach, and author of Uniquely Imperfect, Uniquely Qualified, for one of the most moving and genuinely inspiring conversations the Lounge has ever had.Diana opens with a story about her grandmother that sets the tone for everything that follows. A woman who chose joy no matter what life brought her, who could make anyone feel seen and loved, and whose smile Diana has made it her life's mission to carry forward. From there she shares what her first basketball coach taught her about mental toughness, accountability, and the kind of teamwork that shows up in a boardroom just as powerfully as it does on a court.The conversation shifts into Diana's cancer diagnosis, which arrived 12 years ago, thirty days into the year she turned forty, right in the middle of a separation, an executive role, and single motherhood. What she did with that news is a masterclass in proactive leadership. Drawing on Viktor Frankl and Stephen Covey, two books she was assigned in college and never forgot, Diana made a decision that her cancer would refine her rather than define her, and has been living that out every day since.Jon and Coach dig into the practical tools Diana uses to lead herself before leading anyone else, including her daily five AM reflection practice, her journaling habits built over decades, and the way she uses gratitude not as a buzzword but as a daily discipline that keeps her anchored when everything around her is uncertain.Diana also shares a masterclass on DISC, breaking down all four personality styles and explaining how understanding them transformed her relationships with the high D personalities who used to frustrate her most, and how she now uses DISC workshops to help entire organizations appreciate what makes each person different rather than fight about it.The episode closes with a powerful message for anyone who thinks they have nothing unique to offer. Diana makes the case that every scar, every struggle, and every obstacle you are working through right now is uniquely qualifying you to reach someone else who needs exactly what you have learned. And one person, she reminds us, is always enough to make it worth it.Whether you are leading through your own hard season, trying to build a team that truly works together, or just need a reminder that joy is always a choice even when circumstances are not, this episode will stay with you long after it ends.Connect with Diana: grituiuq.comGrab Uniquely Imperfect, Uniquely Qualified on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Uniquely-Imperfect-Qualified-Adversity-Imperfection/dp/1636804306Connect with Diana on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/diana-fritz-b032064/

Most leaders are trained to have answers. Warren Berger believes the better leadership skill is learning how to ask the right questions. In Episode 21 of Everything They Don't Tell You, Josh Zolin sits down with Warren Berger, author of The Book of Beautiful Questions and A More Beautiful Question, to talk about the underestimated power of questioning in leadership, business, creativity, and life. Warren explains why questions are not just conversation tools. They are leadership tools. The right question can open someone up, reveal bottlenecks, challenge assumptions, and bring people into the mission. The wrong question can shut people down, create defensiveness, and turn a conversation into an interrogation. This episode covers curiosity, humility, listening, follow-up questions, mission questions, the "question sandwich," and why leaders need to stop treating answers as the only currency that matters. If you lead a team, run a business, manage people, or want to communicate with more clarity and depth, this episode will challenge the way you think about leadership. __ ► Download Your 90 Day ROI Playbook — A value packed free guide created by Josh Zolin that teaches you how to Multiply Your Profits with the Skills No One Trains  https://bitnw.academy/roiplaybook    

Send us Fan MailThe fastest way to grow your confidence isn't pretending you're good at everything. It's getting honest about what you're not great at without turning it into a character flaw. Today we dig into “knowing your weaknesses” through a mindfulness lens: awareness without judgment, real self-awareness, and the kind of leadership that can see people clearly and place them where they shine.I share why this matters so much in real life, especially when you're stepping into a new level at work or leading a team. That classic job interview question “What are your weaknesses?” can either feel like a trap or become a secret weapon, depending on how well you know yourself. We talk about what weak answers sound like, what strong answers sound like, and why honest clarity beats polished perfection every time.You'll also get concrete ways to identify your weaknesses with care: journaling what you struggle with, asking someone you trust for outside perspective, and tracking a habit or goal to see where you get stuck. From there, we go one step deeper: deciding what to work on, what to delegate, and how to use self-love as the filter. If improving a skill brings you closer to your best self, do it. If delegating gets you there faster, that's wisdom too.Book mentioned: Graziosi, Dean. Millionaire Success Habits: The Gateway to Wealth & Prosperity.

What if the business model that built your company is the thing that breaks it?In this Thursday edition of She's That Founder, Dawn Andrews delivers a velvet-boot wake-up call for service-based female founders who are overwhelmed, overbooked, and wondering why AI still hasn't made things easier.The answer? Most founders are still treating AI like a productivity tool instead of a business model shift.Dawn breaks down why shrinking margins, founder bottlenecks, and operational exhaustion are becoming bigger problems in consulting, coaching, marketing, legal, and advisory businesses, and why the founders winning right now are systemizing their expertise instead of selling more hours.If your business still depends on you for every decision, deliverable, and fire drill… this episode is your sign that it's time to lead differently. Download Dawn's free guide: 10 Ways AI Will Make You a Better Leader.

I'm sitting down with Jonathan Ronzio, who scaled Trainual from an idea to $30M ARR—while building a company known for its culture and still finding time to climb mountains, run marathons, and live a full life outside of work. What stood out to me in this conversation is how intentional he's been about building systems—not just in the business, but in his life. We talk about why most founders document the wrong things early, how structure actually creates freedom, and how AI is completely reshaping how companies build, sell, and operate. We also get into how he thinks about balance versus alignment, what changes (and what doesn't) after raising capital, and why the most defining moments in business are usually the ones you never planned for. If you're trying to scale without becoming consumed by your business, there's a lot here worth paying attention to.

Most leaders know they should be more approachable and develop trust, but nobody tells you that humor might be the fastest way to get there.In this episode, Dr. Mira Brancu sits down with Dr. Paul Damiano, executive coach and creator of "Funny Business," a methodology using cartoons and humor to deepen awareness in leaders worldwide, to talk about something most leadership conversations skip entirely: how humor actually works as a leadership tool. Not stand-up comedy, not being the funny person in the room, but using levity and perspective to build trust, disarm tension, and get to the truth faster.Paul shares how he uses cartoons as a projective coaching technique with executives to surface what is really going on beneath the surface, and Mira goes through the exercise herself on camera to demonstrate the practice. What you see is a leader who is deeply self-aware, using a simple tool to sharpen that awareness even further.Whether you lead a small team or a room of 100, Paul makes a compelling case that humor is not just a nice-to-have. It is one of the most underused and disproportionately powerful tools a leader can develop.Subscribe for weekly conversations on leadership, mental health, and the real skills that make great leaders.Learn more about Dr. Paul Damiano at:www.creategoodworks.comwww.linkedin.com/in/pauldamianoIF YOU ENJOYED THIS EPISODE, CAN I ASK A FAVOR?We do not receive any funding or sponsorship for this podcast.

About the Guest José Santiago is a sow production supervisor leading teams with Tosh Pork, LLC based in Henry, Tennessee.  José has had extensive experience throughout many segments of the pork industry which has positioned him to excel in production management and José's teams routinely lead the industry in sow productivity, pig quality, and pig care. Although José's strengths in pig production are evident, his true passions are rooted in the people who care for those pigs.  José believes in the value that all members of a team can contribute and encourage and develop his people to be as successful as possible. On his free time José is the Youth director for Holy Cross Catholic Church as well as the baseball coach for the Henry County Middle School team.  José currently resides in Paris, Tennessee with his lovely wife, Jaryssel and their two outstanding children, José (20 years old) and Angelica (18 years old). What can you expect to learn from this episode of Popular Pig? Why swine production is really a people business first—and pigs come second when it comes to success. How great leaders build trust by showing up, listening, and giving their teams the tools and “why” behind the work. Why fear of failure “holds teams back and how creating a culture where it's okay to try (and miss) helps people get better. How to better coach your team by understanding strengths, avoiding knee-jerk reactions, and putting people in roles where they can win. Jose's “Golden Nugget”

Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning podcast where behavioural science meets workplace culture. This week is a very special "cross-over" episode as we are joined by Alexis Zahner and Sally Clarke, hosts of the Live+Work More Human podcast. Together, we tackle the "bums on seats" myth, the stress of AI limits, and why being a "vulnerable" leader is more nuanced than you think.

Join our leadership roundtable as they discuss why 30 years of "classroom management" training fails without personal transformation. Discover why being a "better human" is the prerequisite for being a better leader.

If you have been feeling behind, overwhelmed, or unsure what direction to go next, this episode will meet you right where you are.   In this solo episode of C-Suite Mentor, Theresa Cantley reflects on turning 50 and uses that milestone to explore a challenge many leaders are facing right now: the discomfort of transition. When the old way of doing things no longer fits, it is easy to assume something is wrong. But often that tension is actually a signal that growth is happening.   Theresa explains why the messy middle is not a signal to pull back, how radical resilience becomes the bridge to your next level of leadership, and why so many business owners stay stuck by trying to operate from an outdated playbook.   Things to Listen For • Why feeling behind can actually signal a season of growth • The leadership lessons Theresa learned while turning 50 • Why discomfort often means you are in a transition phase • How radical resilience bridges who you are and who you are becoming • Why the old business playbook eventually stops working • The difference between running a business and building one • How leadership capacity limits or expands business growth • Why refusing to grow keeps leaders stuck   READY TO UNCOVER THE BLIND SPOT HURTING YOUR SMALL BUSINESS?

Successful, But Unfulfilled: Corrie's Leadership Turning Point Are you a successful, but unfulfilled, leader?  Corrie wasn't burned out or failing, but she was unfulfilled, questioning herself, and missing the spark that once made her work feel meaningful. This is the story of how one woman stopped trying to "push through" and started realigning how she worked, led, and carried responsibility. Fulfillment doesn't require walking away from success. Sometimes, it requires learning how to lead and work differently from the inside out. In this episode, Blake helps unpack a real leadership success story. Corrie was successful by every external measure—strong leader, solid career, flexibility, income, and trust. And yet, she felt drained, disengaged, and quietly questioning herself.  You'll hear why successful leaders feel unfulfilled at work and how she found leadership fulfillment without changing jobs. Instead, she found clarity, gained energy, and reignited the spark that once made her work meaningful.   Episode Highlights The Hidden Struggle of Successful Leaders [01:55] - Dreading getting out of bed despite driving results [03:20] - When job searching becomes a cycle of rejection [04:38] - The belief that "this is just how it is" once you climb the ladder When Job Changes Don't Fix the Problem [16:49] - How constant rejection erodes confidence [18:50] - Missing the signs to stop and ask "What am I missing?" [20:10] - The frustration of wanting results now vs. reflection The Perspective Shift That Changed Everything [25:01] - Realizing misalignment was the real problem [27:04] - Understanding what truly motivates you beyond revenue [30:34] - Taking back your power from external circumstances Becoming a Better Leader by Carrying Less [44:37] - Getting the same results in fewer hours by working differently [48:41] - Learning you have more control than you thought Fulfillment Without Sacrificing Career or Family [50:46] - Moving from personal to seeing the bigger picture [53:26] - Shifting from desperation mode to empowered [55:51] - Why the journey was worth it   Powerful Quotes " I kept thinking I'm okay. And then I got to a point where I just wasn't happy anymore. I wasn't excited to go to work. I wasn't excited about, you know, those results I was driving. I was just dreading getting out of bed. And it was more than just like depression or anything like that. It was like, I really had nothing to look forward to.  And I just noticed it was impacting my life, my relationships. And I'm like, I need to make a change." -Corrie  "I didn't realize that you can be happy in your career once you climb the ladder, but this whole process has really just opened up my eyes. And not just in my career, but like in life in general with my family and my friends and hobbies and everything." -Corrie  "It's okay to ask for help. I was always the person who had the answers. So when it came to the point where I needed help, I didn't even know what to do or where to turn." -Corrie  "The only way we really can truly create change is to understand what we need and how we can be empowered to create that change for ourselves." -Blake Schofield "Your career is not in your manager's hands. It's in your hands. You have control of this." -Corrie      Resources Mentioned Drained at the end of the day & want more presence in your life?
