In this episode of Strap On Your Boots, I reflect on turning fifty and the biggest lesson I've learned after decades of building startups, making films, writing software, and exploring new ideas. Experience isn't just about accumulating knowledge. It's about developing judgment, recognizing patterns, and connecting lessons from projects that once seemed completely unrelated. I share how curiosity, failure, and continuous learning have shaped every stage of my career, and why your greatest advantage as an entrepreneur may be the experiences you've already lived through.

Viele Führungskräfte glauben, Resilienz bedeute, möglichst viel auszuhalten. Immer stark sein, immer verfügbar sein, immer eine Antwort haben. Doch genau darin liegt die Superman-Falle. In dieser Folge des LEITWOLF® Podcasts spricht Stefan darüber, warum echte Resilienz nicht bedeutet, unverwundbar zu sein. Die besten Führungskräfte sind nicht diejenigen, die am längsten durchhalten, sondern diejenigen, die nach Belastungen schnell wieder klar denken, Energie aufbauen und Orientierung geben können. Denn wer dauerhaft auf Reserve fährt, verliert genau das, was Führung heute am meisten braucht: Klarheit, Gelassenheit und gute Entscheidungen. Stefan zeigt, warum Führungskräfte nicht alles allein tragen müssen, weshalb Verletzlichkeit kein Zeichen von Schwäche ist und wie geteilte Verantwortung Teams stärker macht. Es geht darum, Perfektion durch Ehrlichkeit zu ersetzen, Verantwortung bewusst abzugeben und Regeneration genauso konsequent zu planen wie Leistung. Außerdem hörst Du in dieser Folge ein kurzes Gespräch mit Adrian Rhaese, Gründer von Enviotech, über seine persönliche Perspektive auf Resilienz und darüber, wie er sie im unternehmerischen Alltag pflegt und nutzt. ––– Nimm gerne an dieser anonymen Umfrage teil, damit wir diesen Podcast für Dich optimieren können: https://forms.gle/WTqCeutVXV2PsjBH9 Gefällt Dir dieser LEITWOLF® Leadership Podcast?

Building a business that reflects your values takes more than hard work. It takes intention, clear systems, and a vision that keeps you grounded when growth starts to feel overwhelming.Stephen Smith and I explore what it really takes to build an ethical, sustainable ABA practice without losing sight of why you started in the first place. We talk about the importance of defining your vision early, especially if you're starting a business with a partner, and why having the right legal and financial support can save you from major headaches down the road.We also dive into delegation, something every business owner struggles with at some point. Letting go of tasks can feel uncomfortable, but creating systems, documenting processes, and trusting your team are essential if you want to avoid burnout and create a business that can grow beyond you. I also share a few of the books and tools that have helped me think differently about leadership, delegation, and protecting my own creativity as a business owner. Whether you're just getting started or looking to strengthen an established practice, I think you'll walk away with practical ideas you can put into action right away.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:Why every clinic owner needs a clear vision before focusing on growthBusiness systems, delegation, and avoiding burnoutThe legal and financial foundations every practice should havePractical books, tools, and strategies for building a sustainable businessMentioned In This Episode:Grab Say it With MeThe ABA Business Leader's Guide by Stephen Smith3 Pie SquaredEarn CEUs with a community of peers.

AI becomes valuable when it helps people do their real work, not when it simply becomes another tool to manage. In this episode of Grounding AI, Donna Peterson welcomes Aya Takase, Head of Global Marketing Communications at Rigaku and Vice President of AI Operations, for a practical conversation about helping employees adopt AI in ways that improve communication, decision making, and everyday work. Instead of discussing the latest AI trends, Donna and Aya focus on real business challenges: How busy professionals can start using AI today Why marketers are often the best people to lead AI adoption How to review AI-generated content before publishing it Why companies don't need dozens of AI tools How internal AI champions can help entire organizations learn faster Why understanding your business is more important than understanding AI Whether you work in manufacturing, industrial marketing, an association, or another B2B industry, you'll leave with practical ideas you can begin using immediately.

"Send us a message!"Most business owners don't fail because they take too many risks–they fail because they avoid them.In this episode, we examine the hidden costs of playing it safe—from avoiding difficult conversations and delaying price increases to protecting underperforming employees and making decisions based on comfort rather than conviction.We also share real stories from our own businesses, including some of our biggest leadership mistakes, how those mistakes nearly cost us everything, and what finally changed our perspective.If you've ever delayed a difficult decision because it felt uncomfortable, this episode is for you.Key TakeawaysPlaying it safe often creates bigger risks than taking action.Avoiding difficult conversations hurts your team more than having them. Your mission, vision, and core values should guide difficult decisions. Growth requires discomfort. Great leaders challenge people because they care about them. Stop reacting emotionally and start responding intentionally. Build systems around your future—not your fears. Business never gets easier; your ability to solve problems improves.Time Stamps00:00 — Opening takes: why snacks don't retain staff03:00 — Why you should already be planning for December05:00 — What "playing it safe" actually looks like07:00 — Difficult conversations every owner must have10:00 — The hidden cost of avoiding discomfort13:00 — How playing it safe hurts your culture16:00 — Using your mission and core values to make decisions18:00 — Why saying "no" often grows your business20:00 — The Evo product story and finding the right fit29:00 — Leadership requires uncomfortable conversations34:00 — Todd's gym leadership mistakes36:00 — Jen's biggest leadership lessons40:00 — The price increase that changed Hello Hair Co.45:00 — Reacting vs. responding as a business owner48:00 — Building a team instead of protecting one person50:00 — Why business never gets easierReflection: What's one decision you've been avoiding because it feels uncomfortable?

In many organizations, stress has become so normalized that it almost feels like a leadership strategy. But it is not. In this episode of the LEITWOLF® Podcast, Stefan explores how leaders can enable strong performance without creating constant pressure. Sustainable high performance does not come from piling on more stress. It comes from clarity, focus, and ownership. Teams often underperform not because they are not working hard enough, but because priorities compete, decisions are delayed, and expectations remain unclear. Stefan explains why chronic stress weakens judgment, creativity, and collaboration – and why a leader's behavior has a direct impact on the emotional climate of a team. Leaders who stay calm under pressure create trust. Leaders who spread urgency without direction create uncertainty instead of performance. You will learn why goals should be managed through outcomes rather than activities, how to replace control with ownership, and why great leadership protects energy as intentionally as it drives results. An episode about sustainable performance, clear priorities, and leadership that enables results without overloading people. ––– Do you like the LEITWOLF® Leadership podcast?

In this episode of Daily Influence, host Gregg-Brooke Koleno sits down with Ben Fischer, Founder and CEO of ZivZo Marketing Group, to explore what decades of entrepreneurship can teach business owners about leadership, accountability, marketing, and responsible influence. With more than four decades of hands-on experience across restaurants, franchising, real estate, consulting, marketing, advertising, and video production, Ben shares practical lessons from building, operating, exiting, failing, adjusting, and rebuilding businesses across multiple industries. His perspective is grounded in real-world execution, not theory. Throughout the conversation, Ben discusses why transparency and accountability are essential responsibilities for business owners, especially when employees, vendors, customers, and families depend on their decisions. He also explains why responsible marketing requires more than persuasion. Businesses must be able to deliver what they promise, support their messaging with operational strength, and avoid campaigns that create expectations they cannot meet. Ben shares insights on helping business owners clarify their message, declutter scattered ideas, build stronger offers, and turn vision into disciplined execution. He also reflects on difficult business lessons, including how an unexpected crisis in a bakery manufacturing business led to a more profitable operating model through outsourcing and strategic pivoting.

Wir haben Stress in vielen Organisationen so sehr normalisiert, als wäre er eine Führungsstrategie. Doch genau das ist er nicht. In dieser Folge des LEITWOLF® Podcasts spricht Stefan darüber, wie Führungskräfte starke Leistung ermöglichen können, ohne permanent Druck zu erzeugen. Denn nachhaltige Höchstleistung entsteht nicht durch immer mehr Belastung, sondern durch Klarheit, Fokus und Eigenverantwortung. Teams leisten oft nicht deshalb zu wenig, weil sie zu wenig arbeiten – sondern weil Prioritäten konkurrieren, Entscheidungen verzögert werden und Erwartungen unklar bleiben. Stefan zeigt, warum chronischer Stress Urteilsvermögen, Kreativität und Zusammenarbeit schwächt – und weshalb das Verhalten der Führungskraft das emotionale Klima im Team entscheidend prägt. Wer unter Druck ruhig bleibt, schafft Vertrauen. Wer Dringlichkeit ohne Orientierung verbreitet, erzeugt dagegen Unsicherheit statt Leistung. Du erfährst, warum Ziele stärker über Ergebnisse statt über Aktivitäten gesteuert werden sollten, wie Du Kontrolle durch Eigenverantwortung ersetzt und weshalb gute Führung Energie genauso bewusst schützt wie Resultate. Eine Folge über nachhaltige Performance, klare Prioritäten und Führung, die Leistung ermöglicht, ohne Menschen zu überlasten. ––– Nimm gerne an dieser anonymen Umfrage teil, damit wir diesen Podcast für Dich optimieren können: https://forms.gle/WTqCeutVXV2PsjBH9 Gefällt Dir dieser LEITWOLF® Leadership Podcast?

Leadership development is not about checking boxes. It is about building the awareness, communication, trust, and consistency required to help people grow, perform, and feel safe enough to do meaningful work. LaTonya Wilkins brings a powerful conversation on what it really means to lead below the surface. From psychological safety and culture to coaching, delegation, community, and connection across differences, this master class challenges leaders to stop treating leadership like a static skillset and start looking at how leadership is actually experienced by the people they serve. Learn how to honestly rate your leadership by asking better questions: • How clear is your communication? • How do people experience you in meetings, emails, and difficult conversations? • Are you giving people the guardrails they need without making them too tight? • Are you creating hope, trust, compassion, and stability? • Are you developing people, or just expecting them to perform? • Are burnout, churn, poor delegation, and low trust signs of a deeper leadership problem? This conversation also explores why many leadership development programs fail because they rely on outdated models, performative culture work, and initiatives that were never truly embedded into the organization. Real culture cannot be reduced to perks, titles, slogans, or temporary programs. It has to show up in how leaders communicate, make decisions, build teams, manage change, and create belonging. LaTonya also brings a needed perspective on coaching and community in a noisy market where too many people sell quick fixes without doing the real work. Strong leadership, real coaching, and healthy culture are all relationship businesses. They require trust, self-awareness, accountability, and the right people around you at every stage. For executives, founders, HR leaders, coaches, consultants, people managers, and anyone responsible for leading others, this conversation is a reminder that real leadership still wins when it is rooted in trust, development, culture, coaching, and community.
