Jeff lays out his hiring philosophy: ambition beyond natural gifts, complementary skills, people better than him in key areas—and why he trusts his instincts on fit.06:25 – Real Leadership: Hiring People Better Than YouThey dig into succession, “making yourself dispensable,” and the idea that if you can't take a vacation without everything falling apart, that's a failure of leadership, not a badge of honor.07:30 – Pre-Email Days & The Human Side of WorkJeff remembers the 286/386 era and talks about how, before digital tools, people invested more in each other in person—inside and outside of work—and how that shaped deeper relationships.08:43 – Remote Work, COVID, and an Isolated WorkforceThey go deep on the pandemic: the rapid shift home, the early productivity spike, inflation pressures, relocation, and the rise of isolation and mental health issues as remote work took hold.11:10 – Young Workers, Office Longing & Loyalty ShiftsAdam shares what he's seeing with candidates who actually want to be in-office to learn through osmosis. Jeff talks about building the next generation of leaders and how in-person time rebuilds fabric and loyalty.13:32 – Mental Health, Home Setups & Productivity RealityThey unpack the assumption that everyone has an ideal home workspace—calling out caregiving, cramped spaces, kids, and distractions—and how that's quietly driving some people back to the office.14:51 – Why Jeff Bet on Aptia & the Move to BostonJeff explains what drew him to Aptia: the chance to build something differentiated and lasting, formalize his cross-border life, and finally live and work in the same country as his family.17:42 – The Big Vision: Building the Best Benefits Company in AmericaJeff outlines his ambition to build the best (not necessarily biggest) benefits services and administration company—one loved by clients, employees, and partners while supporting the communities they serve.19:04 – Benefits as a Talent Magnet: Total Rewards, Not Just SalaryThey talk about smart candidates, how benefits (health, financial, time off, ancillary) close offers, and why companies need to position total rewards early and clearly in the hiring process.21:13 – Closing the Benefits Understanding GapJeff shares the reality: most employees don't fully understand or appreciate their benefits. He talks about accessibility, education, and surfacing value in ways employees actually grasp.22:33 – Introducing Aptia One: Seamless, AI-Led Benefits ExperienceJeff breaks down Aptia One—how it's designed to create simple, AI-led, consumer-grade experiences for employees, employers, and partners across phone, web, and natural language interfaces.25:14 – How Jeff Is Personally Upskilling in AIJeff shares his approach to AI as a leader: consuming everything he can, learning from experts, applying lessons from previous waves of tech disruption, and staying hyper-relevant to where markets are heading.26:54 – Realistic AI: Simplicity, Accuracy & Avoiding AI-WashingThey discuss using AI to simplify journeys, NOT over-hyping capabilities, and why, in a business where you must be nearly 100% accurate on benefits, you must apply AI carefully and responsibly.28:43 – The Hard Truth About TransformationJeff calls out a big misconception: leaders assume everyone's excited about transformation. He explains why frontline employees often aren't enlisted as deeply as leaders think and why change enablement is under-invested.30:18 – Service, Soul & Corporate PhilanthropyThe conversation shifts to service: Jeff's history with DEI, United Way, and community work, and why doing something for others makes him feel more complete as a human and leader.31:25 – Why People Want Companies With a SoulJeff explains how corporate philanthropy, whether via one flagship cause or hyper-local initiatives, shapes belonging, engagement, and the desire to work for companies that care about more than profit.33:55 – Jeff's Son's Cancer Journey & Life Perspective ShiftsJeff shares the powerful story of his son Kevin's osteosarcoma diagnosis at 13, the grueling treatment, and how that battle reshaped his view on perseverance, priorities, and what really matters.36:26 – Adam's Own Cancer Battle & Shared PerspectiveAdam opens up about his recent Hodgkin's lymphoma remission, the physical and emotional toll, and how surviving cancer reframes life, work, and gratitude for both of them.40:04 – What Keeps Jeff Up at Night: Stewardship & FamilyJeff talks about being a “work in progress,” how life is now about his kids, his wife, and his responsibilities, and the ongoing chase to be a good steward for his family, business, and community.41:48 – Optimism About Humanity & The Future of BenefitsJeff shares a global perspective: wherever he goes, people want similar things for their families and communities. He then lays out the “big three” of benefits—health, wealth, and time off—as core holdings.43:26 – Designing Benefits Like a PortfolioThey dig into tailoring benefits to your population (e.g., menopause benefits, pet insurance, nonprofit-oriented perks), feeding what works, starving what doesn't, and iterating to truly serve your people.44:37 – Redefining Success: Energy for the Journey AheadIn closing, Jeff defines success not by titles or money, but by whether you still wake up excited for what's ahead—at work, at home, on the golf course, and in life overall.46:08 – Wrap-Up & Where to Find Jeff and AptiaAdam closes the episode, sharing where listeners can learn more about Aptia, connect with Jeff on LinkedIn, and reminding everyone to review, subscribe, and keep being good to themselves and better to others.

In this episode, we welcome Joe Eskenazi, CRO at Kong, to discuss the critical transition from an elite salesperson to a top-tier business leader. Joe shares how he bypassed the typical "salesperson" label by treating every interaction as a business consultancy, fueled by a concurrent MBA and an early career in sports broadcasting. We dive deep into the reality of the CRO role—orchestrating cross-functional ecosystems rather than just closing deals—and the personal journey of managing high-intensity burnout. Joe also offers powerful advice on finding an authentic leadership voice and why organizations must prioritize leadership training to protect their talent.

The Three-Box Storytelling Framework The Hidden Psychology Behind Stories that Change Behavior Episode 288 (Graham is based in Singapore) This is a repeat of episode #68. In this conversation with Graham Brown, we explore: how the three-box storytelling model simplifies complex ideas why backstory builds trust before persuasion begins how fear of the unknown blocks decision-making why analogies help audiences understand faster how familiar stories lower resistance to change why emotion outlasts facts in memory how storytelling increases confidence over time why selling is really about guiding people through uncertainty ----- Graham Brown is the founder of Pikkal & Co, an award winning podcast agency based in Singapore. He has the experience of hosting over 400 episodes on his podcast.  Podcast Guesting Pro is a dedicated Podcast Booking Agency that works with B2B thought leaders.

The AI gap will kill companies.What is it? it's the large divide between AI's crazy impressive capabilities and what most companies are actually using them for. And one of the biggest reasons for the AI gap? Talking. Like... no one understands how to talk about AI because the technology changes faster than Usain Bolt in Beijing. You wanna talk to your AI team about LLMs? PFT. They're running Ralph Wiggum loops in Claude Code and just kinda reading the code before it hits production. Yeah, the divide is WIIIIIDE. So we're gonna tackle it together on the second volume of our Starter Series: AI Without the Jargon: The AI Language Every Business Leader Needs to live by in 2026 -- An Everyday AI Chat with Jordan WilsonNewsletter: Sign up for our free daily newsletterMore on this Episode: Episode PageJoin the discussion on LinkedIn: Thoughts on this?

Mental fitness for business leaders is quickly becoming a differentiator in how companies grow, lead, and navigate adversity. As the demands of business ownership and leadership increase, so does the need for tools that strengthen focus, performance, and resilience. The conversation around mental fitness has moved far beyond motivation and mindset. It now sits at the core of how individuals and organizations operate at their best. Chance Potts, Founder of One More Benefit, has dedicated over three decades to coaching people through the challenges of leadership, business, and life. His background blends employee benefits, business consulting, and mental fitness training into a system designed to help leaders and teams grow stronger from the inside out. At the center of this approach is his Mental Fitness Training program, a year-round development framework that addresses both the inner and outer demands of performance. This training is built for professionals who want to stay sharp and effective in high-stakes environments. It connects deeply with leaders who aren't just looking to improve productivity, but who want to do the internal work required to lead with clarity and consistency. By focusing on real, controllable factors such as attitude, inputs, routines, and effort, Potts helps leaders stop drifting through their days and start acting with intention. Mental fitness for business leaders isn't about avoiding adversity. It's about how you prepare for it, how you process it, and how you grow through it. Potts knows this firsthand. His coaching is informed by real experience, not theory. From growing up in a household impacted by mental dysfunction to enduring the tragic loss of his son, his life has been shaped by adversity. And through it, he has built a practice that equips others to rise with purpose. The framework he uses, known as A.I.R.F.A.R.E., is a practical guide to regaining control in fast-moving environments. Leaders are trained to evaluate and improve seven core areas: attitude, inputs, routines, focus, associations, response, and effort. These aren't abstract concepts. They are daily disciplines that drive real change and help organizations improve team dynamics, engagement, and culture. The concept of building a REAL Fit Life and REAL Fit Business underpins all of Potts' work. It expands beyond professional identity to include personal alignment in areas like family, faith, finances, and future vision. For businesses, this focus on total alignment creates stronger teams, deeper engagement, and more resilient cultures. When business leaders take their own growth seriously, that commitment cascades to their teams. Mental fitness becomes part of the culture. Instead of constantly reacting to stress, distractions, and burnout, leaders are equipped to model better responses. They create environments where others can rise as well. This shift isn't about chasing perfection. It's about being your best with what you have right now, and using that foundation to serve others with more clarity, energy, and intention. Potts is not just a coach. He's a teacher of practical strategies that help people perform better under pressure, reconnect with their purpose, and show up fully in the areas that matter most. His work is a reminder that business growth doesn't only come from systems and strategy. It also comes from strengthening the mindset and habits of the people responsible for leading that growth.

A ransomware attack doesn't always announce itself with flashing warnings and locked screens. Sometimes it starts with a quiet system outage, a few unavailable servers, and a sinking realization days later that the threat actors were already inside. This conversation pulls back the curtain on what really happens when an organization believes it's dealing with routine failures only to discover it's facing a full-scale cyber extortion event. My guest today is Zachary Lewis, CIO and CISO for a Midwest university, a 40 Under 40 Business Leader, and a former Nonprofit CISO of the Year. Zachary shares the inside story of a LockBit ransomware attack that unfolded while his team was still building foundational security controls, forcing real-time decisions about recovery, disclosure, negotiations, and whether paying a ransom was even an option. We talk about the shame that keeps many cyber incidents hidden, the emotional weight leaders carry during these moments, and the practical realities that don't show up in tabletop exercises from buying bitcoin to restoring systems when password managers are encrypted. It's an honest, grounded discussion about resilience, preparedness, and why sharing these stories openly may be one of the most important defenses organizations have. Show Notes: [04:05] Zachary Lewis explains why the absence of an immediate ransom note delayed suspicion of an attack. [06:00] The first technical indicators suggest something more serious is unfolding. [07:45] Discovering encrypted hypervisors and realizing recovery won't be straightforward. [09:30] Zachary outlines when data exfiltration became a real concern. [11:05] Receiving the LockBit ransomware note confirms the organization has been compromised. [12:55] The 4:30 a.m. phone call pushes leadership into full crisis mode. [14:40] Zachary reflects on managing fear, responsibility, and decision fatigue mid-incident. [16:20] Executive expectations collide with technical realities during the breach. [18:05] Why "doing most things right" still doesn't guarantee protection. [19:55] Cyber insurance begins shaping early response decisions. [21:35] Bringing in incident response teams and legal counsel under tight timelines. [23:20] Zachary describes working with the FBI and understanding jurisdictional limits. [25:10] What law enforcement can and cannot realistically provide during ransomware events. [26:50] Opening communication channels with the threat actors. [28:35] The psychological pressure behind ransomware negotiations. [30:10] Attacker-imposed timelines force rapid, high-stakes decisions. [31:55] Zachary walks through the practical challenges of acquiring cryptocurrency. [33:40] Why encrypted password managers created unexpected recovery barriers. [35:15] Determining which systems could be restored first—and which could not. [37:00] Lessons learned about backup integrity and offline recovery. [38:45] The importance of clear internal communication during uncertainty. [40:25] Balancing transparency with legal and reputational concerns. [42:10] How staff reactions differed from executive responses. [43:55] Zachary discusses the stigma that keeps many ransomware incidents quiet. [45:40] Why sharing breach stories can strengthen collective defenses. [47:20] MFA gaps and configuration issues exposed by the attack. [49:05] Why tabletop exercises fall short of real-world incidents. [50:50] Long-term security changes made after recovery. [52:30] Zachary offers advice for CISOs facing their first major incident. [54:10] What preparedness really means beyond compliance checklists. [56:00] Why resilience and recovery deserve equal priority. [58:30] Final reflections on leadership, accountability, and learning in public. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

Could your next level of business growth depend more on leadership health than another strategy or system? In this episode of The Dickie and Donny Show, Shawn "Dickie" Stinson and Brandon "Donny" Gray unpack the 6 core areas of a leader's health and why business owners cannot afford to ignore any of them. This is not about hustle or doing more. It is about becoming healthier on purpose so your business can grow without breaking you. Dickie and Donny explore how leadership health impacts every decision you make, every relationship you manage, and every result your business produces. When one area is off, it shows up in your team, your margins, and your stress levels. When all six are aligned, momentum follows. This conversation challenges owners to stop separating personal health from business performance and start seeing leadership health as a competitive advantage. Here's what you will take away: ✅ The 6 areas every healthy leader must pay attention to ✅ How neglected health quietly limits business growth ✅ Why leadership health sets the ceiling for your company ✅ Practical insight to help you lead with clarity and consistency If you want a business that grows without costing you your energy, relationships, or peace of mind, this episode will change how you think about leadership. Are you working IN your business or ON your business? Do you have all of the foundational elements that will liberate you from the business chaos?

Send us a textAbout This EpisodeDr. Michelle Johnston, award-winning leadership expert and author of The Seismic Shift in Leadership and The Seismic Shift in You, explores how connection, not command, drives performance. Michelle shares her journey toward authentic leadership and unpacks what real connection at work looks like: people feeling seen, heard, valued, respected, and appreciated. She outlines seven practical shifts leaders can implement now, from measuring success through relationships and protecting thinking time to reshaping one-to-ones, running meetings that create momentum, and bringing the right energy into every room. If burnout, low engagement, or turnover are on your radar, this conversation offers a clear, human-centered guide for strengthening culture while still delivering results. About Michelle JohnstonDr. Michelle Johnston, named a Woman of the Year, Top Ten Executive Coach, and Top 500 Business Leader, is redefining leadership through the power of connection. An award-winning leadership expert and Clifton A. Morvant Distinguished Professor of Business at Loyola University New Orleans, she blends decades of strategic communication expertise with real-world insights to help leaders thrive. Her bestselling book The Seismic Shift in Leadership illustrates how connection-driven leadership builds stronger teams and better results, and her upcoming book, The Seismic Shift in You, offers a transformative approach to leadership that starts with the most crucial element—you. Michelle extends this work through her global executive coaching, keynote speaking, and her Top 10% podcast, The Seismic Shift, where she engages thought leaders and executives committed to creating cultures of authentic connection. Additional ResourcesWebsite: michellekjohnston.comInstagram: @michellekjohnstonLinkedIn: @MichelleJohnstonSupport the show-------- Stay Connected www.leighburgess.com Watch the episodes on YouTube Follow Leigh on Instagram: @theleighaburgess Follow Leigh on LinkedIn: @LeighBurgess Sign up for Leigh's bold newsletter

Many Christians are also successful business people, entrepreneurs, and leaders in the corporate world. A good portion of these people steward their gifts and influence within their communities to advance the mission of Christ through their work.Navigating business ownership can be overwhelming, and without a clear foundation many believers simply adopt the patterns and the philosophies of the world around them. Today's conversation is about recovering a distinctly biblical way of building a business, one rooted in wisdom, integrity, stewardship, and the character of God himself. Whether you're running a small side hustle or leading a growing company, Scripture offers practical principles that speak directly to leadership, culture, planning, and the everyday decisions that shape a business. To help us unpack all of this, we are joined by Eric Phillips, who serves as the praise and worship pastor at Midtown Baptist Temple and has spent years working in the secular business world in sales strategy and leadership. He is here to discuss his new book, Building Business Biblically, and to help us think wisely about what it means to build a business that honors Christ.Visit https://www.lfbi.org/books to purchase Building Business Biblically by Eric PhillipsVisit https://www.lfbi.org/learnmore
