What happens when listeners ask the questions that libertarians usually avoid? Today's episode digs straight into the tension every liberty-minded American feels: wanting freedom, wanting responsibility, wanting real-world results… and needing it all to make sense in a world that's already been distorted by government. If you've ever struggled to balance principles with practicality, this episode is going to hit home. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS We're diving into three real emails from longtime listeners who aren't asking surface-level questions. They're wrestling with parenting under bad policy, staying healthy in a chaotic world, and trying to sell better ideas to people who don't think about politics at all. And each topic forces us into the place libertarians often avoid — real-world execution, not theoretical perfection. This one gets real. We talk about strategic voting, the difference between ideology and outcomes, how parents can build a fitness routine that actually sticks, and why most political messaging fails before it even gets started. If you've ever looked at the political landscape and thought, “Why aren't liberty-leaning candidates winning when their ideas are clearly better?”, you're going to get an answer today that you can use, not just think about. We also walk through the emotional side of persuasion — why messaging without pain points falls flat, why candidates lose the middle even when they're right on policy, and how to speak the language of the people you're trying to reach. Not in a cringey, code-switching way… but in a practical, sales-driven, outcome-focused frame that normal people actually relate to. If you want actionable advice — the kind you can take into parenting, fitness, politics, or even your 9-to-5 — this episode delivers. This is liberty you can apply, not liberty you argue about online. Get ready to take notes… this is a Q&A that turns into a masterclass. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (CardioMiracle.com/TBNS) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

We were raised to believe that our values lie in how much we give, how quiet we stay, and how well we put everyone else's needs before our own. And then, when we hit midlife, the world looks away. But women are waking up and saying, ‘hell no!'” – Dr. Mary Claire Haver Resources Mentioned in This Episode: unPAUSED with Dr. Mary Claire Haver - https://thepauselife.com/pages/the-unpaused-podcast Guest's Links: Website - https://thepauselife.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drmaryclaire/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/drmaryclaire/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@drmaryclaire YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@drmaryclaire Podcast - https://thepauselife.com/pages/the-unpaused-podcast Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Is Trump losing the very people who put him in power - and what does that mean for the rest of us? If Trump was supposed to be the wrecking ball to the swamp, why are his approval numbers tanking while people are getting poorer, angrier, and more blackpilled about politics?

Studio Sponsor: ⁠Cardio Miracle⁠ - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": ⁠CardioMiracle.com/TBNS⁠ In this episode, Connor Vasile and I dig into the new polling that shows Trump sliding hard with voters who once saw him as the economic bodyguard against Biden style insanity. We get into why cost of living is crushing normal people, why the “inflation is slowing” talking points feel like gaslighting, and how big box “value” stores quietly tell the real story of a stressed out middle class. If you feel poorer than the headlines say you should, this one is going to hit home. From there, we walk straight into the Epstein landmine - why Thomas Massie forced the vote, what the Trump world flip flop on releasing the files really signals, and why people are done accepting “national security” and “ongoing investigation” as magic words to hide the truth.

In this episode, I break down the core habits that set successful CEOs apart and how those habits directly influence organizational growth. We explore the risks of overcommitting and getting too deep into day-to-day operations, a common trap that can cloud strategic focus. I make the case for a more disciplined approach to choosing opportunities and explain why shifting from monthly to weekly performance metrics can dramatically improve agility. We also dive into the value of developing strong leaders at every level and the role of clear, consistent communication in preventing costly misunderstandings. Ultimately, this episode is designed to help leaders sharpen their habits, elevate their impact, and accelerate growth. Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 1:07 Good CEO Habits 2:56 Delegation and Ownership 5:17 The Power of Selectivity 7:27 Agility in Metrics 9:18 Building Leadership Depth 10:44 Communication Clarity 12:06 Reflecting on Improvement The Hidden Traps CEOs Fall Into: Good CEO Habits Start Here In this episode of Grow Think Tank, we're having an honest conversation about the everyday habits that can make or break a CEO's effectiveness. I'm Gene Hammett, and I'll walk you through some of the subtle traps leaders fall into, starting with the urge to say yes to everything. As CEOs, we're wired to see possibilities everywhere. I've been there myself, feeling like every new idea or opportunity could be "the one" that drives big growth. But a packed calendar isn't a sign of progress. In fact, it often pulls us away from the handful of initiatives that truly move the business forward. We also dig into one of the biggest bad habits: trying to stay involved in every operational detail. Research shows that CEOs spend an incredible amount of time in meetings, up to 72%, according to Harvard. That's a lot of hours that could be spent on creativity, strategy, and vision. I talk about how letting go, delegating more intentionally, and staying out of the weeds is actually one of the Good CEO Habits that fuels growth. Choosing the Right Opportunities: Not All "Yeses" Are Created Equal Next, we talk about the cultural pressure inside organizations to chase every possibility. Saying yes feels productive, but spreading yourself too thin rarely leads to meaningful impact. I share why developing a disciplined approach to opportunity selection is a hallmark of Good CEO Habits. Leaders who grow consistently don't chase more; they chase better. Warren Buffett said it best: the difference between successful people and really successful people is that the latter say no to almost everything. From there, we explore how shifting from monthly performance metrics to weekly check-ins can transform agility. Monthly metrics tell you what went wrong last month. Weekly metrics help you fix what's happening right now. That faster feedback loop helps teams stay aligned, spot issues early, and maintain momentum. Build Leaders, Build Clarity, Build Growth Finally, we look inward, specifically at how CEOs develop the strength of their team and the clarity of their communication. A powerful CEO doesn't try to be an expert in everything. Instead, they build depth in their leadership team, ensuring every department has someone capable, confident, and empowered. Closing those leadership gaps is essential for scaling it's another core Good CEO Habit that separates high-growth organizations from the rest. We also talk about communication, the kind of communication that goes beyond "good enough." Assumptions create confusion, rework, and frustration. Clear, intentional communication creates alignment and trust. I share how being explicit rather than vague can eliminate misunderstandings before they start. Throughout the episode, I encourage you to reflect on your own habits. Which ones are helping you grow, and which ones might be holding you back? When we ask better questions about how we lead, we uncover opportunities to evolve both as individuals and as organizations. That's what we aim for here on Grow Think Tank: helping leaders become more effective, more intentional, and more equipped to scale with confidence. Key Takeaways Fewer commitments lead to better focus. Saying yes to everything creates noise. The most effective CEOs choose opportunities selectively and focus on initiatives that truly drive growth. Staying out of the weeds is a leadership strength. CEOs who try to oversee every detail lose valuable time for strategy, creativity, and vision. Delegation is not just helpful it's essential. Weekly metrics create agility. Shifting from monthly to weekly performance reviews helps teams catch issues earlier, adapt faster, and maintain momentum. Depth in leadership beats well-roundedness. CEOs don't need to be experts in every area they need strong leaders around them. Building leadership capacity at every level accelerates scale. Clarity in communication prevents costly mistakes. "Good enough" communication isn't good enough. Explicit, intentional clarity avoids misunderstandings and keeps teams aligned. Good CEO Habits require intentional reflection. Sustainable growth comes from regularly reassessing your habits, asking better leadership questions, and making small adjustments with big impact.

In this episode, I'm closing out 2025 with a real, honest conversation about what it takes to finish the year strong and set yourself up for an impactful 2026. I spent the entire day deep inside the numbers of my business, reviewing every program, every metric, every lever, and it reminded me how important it is for us as CEOs to pause, assess, and identify the one main constraint that's actually holding us back. I'm sharing why so many of us get caught trying to fix problems that haven't even happened yet, and how that tendency keeps us from addressing the simple but powerful issue right in front of us. I talk through how we bottleneck our own growth, why boundaries and team support matter, and what it looks like to step fully into the CEO role your business needs. I also introduce you to the Ultimate Practice Growth Audit, the exact tool I created to help you see clearly what's happening inside your business, from revenue drivers and patient flow to profitability and team performance. This audit will be the foundation for our upcoming Strategic Planning Masterclass on December 5th, where I'll walk you through how to activate what you uncover and build a strategic plan for 2026. Plus, I share details about Confidence to Scale Live, our brand-new two-day retreat and 90-day coaching experience happening in January. This is the most intimate, hands-on strategic support we've ever offered, designed to help you build systems, hire top talent, streamline operations, and create a blueprint for your next million-dollar milestone.

"When they see your face, look into your eyes, you're real and you're human and you're authentic, that's when trust happens."  Strong relationships form the backbone of every successful business. Growth becomes easier when you intentionally invest in the connections that matter, release the ones that drain your energy, and stay open to forming new relationships that bring purpose and momentum. Trust, consistency, and genuine human connection—not tactics—create the stability and opportunity that leaders rely on.    Alan McLaren, a veteran executive and relationship strategist, shares powerful insights on why intentional connection shapes long-term success. He explains how clarity, visibility, and authenticity help leaders expand their influence, strengthen their network, and build trust quickly and naturally. His approach to service-driven leadership reveals how meaningful conversations can spark new partnerships, deepen existing ones, and create opportunities that last. Everything culminates in the upcoming December 3 event, where Alan will help leaders use strategic connection to accelerate trust, authority, and growth.  Learn more & connect:  Register for the free Podcast Guesting for Leaders event here:  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/podcast-guesting-for-leaders-the-fast-track-to-trust-authority-growth-tickets-1969995450423  Alan McLaren is co-founder of STRATA Originals, working with CEOs and executives to build and refine authentic and impactful leadership brands.  https://strataoriginals.com/  Visit https://www.eCircleAcademy.com and book a success call with Nicky to take your practice to the next level.

Dharshan Rangegowda, founder of ScaleGrid, left a decade-long engineering career at Microsoft to solve a painful database operations problem he had lived firsthand. After early missteps selling to enterprises, he shifted to helping developers manage MongoDB, Redis, and Postgres on the cloud, bootstrapping the business from scratch. ScaleGrid grew steadily through product depth, technical support, and Dharshan's mastery of SEO—becoming the top organic result for many key searches. The company expanded into multiple database engines, added a distributed engineering team, and reached 20 employees by 2021, serving both SMB developers and some enterprise teams.  Dharshan sold a majority stake to Spotlight Equity Partners during the pandemic after receiving an unsolicited offer, later stepping out of day-to-day operations while remaining on the board.  In this conversation, Dharshan shares hard-earned lessons about product-led growth, support as strategy, SEO as a long-game advantage, and how bootstrapped founders can build meaningful outcomes in massive markets.  Key Takeaways SEO Power: SEO remains a long-term growth engine for bootstrappers because big VC-backed companies rarely have the patience to compound it. Support as Strategy: Deep, responsive technical support became ScaleGrid's differentiator and directly informed product innovation and content. Start at the Edges: Enterprises won't buy from a one-person startup, but edge users with urgent problems will — and they become your early beachhead. Bootstrap Constraints: Founder over-frugality can limit growth; strategic delegation and early team building prevent burnout and plateauing. This Interview Is Perfect For Bootstrap SaaS founders Technical founders selling to developers Founders stuck in early traction or slow growth Anyone considering a PE exit or multi-year acquisition process Quote from Darshan Rangegowda, founder of ScaleGrid "You can't take random people and make them an entrepreneur. You have to want to be an entrepreneur and want to be on your own. You have to enjoy the freedom and the risk and the upside that comes with it and the unmitigated downside as well. You have to accept and be comfortable with it.  "You want to be on your own so you can try things. You are constantly looking at problems and new solutions. You want to be around people who like that sort of process: Here's a new problem and here's a new solution.  "But the most important thing you have to do as an entrepreneur is you have to add value to your customers. And most people forget that."

Episode Overview In this episode, John sits down with longtime real estate leader Jim Pruett for a powerful reminder of what actually drives success in this business: fundamentals, discipline, and treating your business like a real business. Jim breaks down why 87% of agents fail, the mindset shift required to survive in today's market, and the simple systems and habits that have allowed him to build a long-term, consistent, and respected real estate business. From setting up your business like a CEO, to mastering the purchase agreement, to building world-class community relationships, this episode is packed with timeless truths agents desperately need—especially those who keep getting distracted by shiny objects instead of focusing on the work that matters. If you feel overwhelmed, inconsistent, or unsure what to focus on to grow, this episode is the clarity punch-in-the-face you've been needing. Key Topics Covered Why Most Agents Fail The "employee-to-CEO" mindset shift every new agent must make Why shiny objects are draining your money and killing your momentum The power of joining a team to dramatically increase your odds of success Building a Real Business Setting up your business like a real CEO: accounting, legal, brand assets, and systems Why your email, your URL, and your online profiles matter more than you think The necessity of consistency across photos, bios, and digital presence Systems & Predictable Success How checklists, workflows, and repeatable processes create freedom Why systems must be "living documents" that evolve as your business grows The role of CRMs, automation, and organized procedures for scale Relationships That Produce How to build real, human connections—online and offline The key difference between transactional contacts and real influence Why "contacts sprout contracts" is still one of the truest principles in real estate How Jim's community involvement (especially the Riverfront Development Committee) became a long-term lever for influence and opportunity Know Your Value Why agents struggle to articulate value and how to fix it How to confidently have the hard conversations with buyers and sellers Why your presence alone should add value to every transaction Mastering the Fundamentals Why every agent should reread the purchase agreement weekly How pre-listing inspections reduce future friction The essential difference between working in your business vs. on your business Blocking out noise, avoiding distractions, and staying focused on what matters CEO-Level Habits The power of being a "slave to your calendar" Forecasting and knowing your numbers like a true operator How the right rooms and the right relationships change your trajectory The mindset of professionals: "Do it until you can't get it wrong." Resources & Mentions The E-Myth Revisited – Michael Gerber Profit First – Mike Michalowicz Choose Your Enemies Wisely – Patrick Bet-David The Checklist Manifesto – Atul Gawande (Chapter 1 recommended) Honey Badger Nation John Kitchens Executive Coaching → JohnKitchens.coach Final Takeaway Success isn't complicated—it's consistent. The agents who win aren't the ones chasing noise or shortcuts… they're the ones who master the basics, know their value, build real relationships, and operate like CEOs. As Jim puts it: "Professionals do it until they can't get it wrong."

Innovation is the driving force behind all progress; as the saying goes, you either evolve or become obsolete. Agroecology, like every other discipline, is undergoing transformation. We will challenge CEOs and policy leaders to share their perspectives on how innovation is shaping the future. 

Corporate layoffs have been rolling across American companies: Amazon, General Motors, Verizon, Target and Microsoft have all cut jobs.

Okay, let's talk about AI and what I've been calling the “DoorDash problem.” This is about to define the next battle in AI, and it might completely transform not only how you order a sandwich, but also how the entire internet economy works in general. If you've been listening to the show this past year, you've heard me bring up the Doordash problem nearly a dozen times. I've been asking CEOs and leaders in tech and AI about it any chance I can get. Now, a lawsuit between Amazon and Perplexity is bringing this exact issue to the forefront, kicking off a major AI browser fight that could define the future of agents and the web itself.  Links:  Amazon and Perplexity have kicked off the great AI web browser fight | The Verge Amazon sues to stop Perplexity from using AI tool to buy stuff | Bloomberg Amazon's Cease and Desist letter to Perplexity | Amazon Bullying Is not innovation | Perplexity Amazon gets hit by a Comet | Platformer Humans Only!

In uncertain times, leaders at all levels can learn from what the world's best CEOs are doing to protect themselves and forge a path ahead. In this Future of Business series, IdeaCast hosts Alison Beard and Adi Ignatius sat down with four leading CEOs who manage across different industries and geographies to understand where global business is going. In this episode, host Adi Ignatius speaks with Walmart CEO Doug McMillon, who since announced he'll be retiring in early 2026. They discuss how the world's largest company makes it through global disruption and supply chain shocks, their ongoing digital transformation including the implementation of AI, and how McMillon aims to stay close to the original purpose of the company.

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest misconceptions in real estate and entrepreneurship: Q4 isn't slow—it's strategic. I'll walk you through why the moves you make in November determine the momentum you feel in January… and why top agents treat this season as their secret advantage instead of a time to coast.I'm sharing the honest lessons I learned the hard way early in my career—when I believed the “holiday slowdown” myth and started every new year from zero. And I'll show you exactly how the top 10% create separation season, re-engage their database with intention, clean up their pipelines like CEOs, and use simple systems to build more momentum in four weeks than most build in four months.If you're ready to finish the year with intention instead of excuses, this episode is your blueprint.✨ Things I Cover in This Episode:Why January momentum starts in NovemberHow top agents actually use Q4 to separate from the packThe “relationship equity” framework to reconnect with your databaseCEO-level pipeline prep (including the 5 buckets system)A simple 3-2-1 weekly rhythm to drive revenue and visibilityWhat NOT to believe about the holiday seasonThe November decision that sets up a powerful Q1If this episode lit a fire in you or gave you clarity on how to finish strong, screenshot it and tag me on Instagram @itsraquelq.And if you're ready to scale into 2026 with real systems, real support, and the confidence of a true Agent CEO, DM me the word "AgentCEO" — I'll send you the details on our coaching, community, and plug-and-play tools that help you build like a CEO, not just hustle like a salesperson.---Thank you for joining me on this episode of The Raquel Show, and remember, keep pushing your limits to achieve your goals.For updates and collaborations or opportunities, go to www.LetsPlayBigger.comFind more resources on our websitehttps://raquelq.com/podcast/Follow Raquel on Raquel Quinet's socials:Instagram | YouTube | Facebook | LinkedInCheck Out Our2025 Play Bigger EventsApply to be in our Play Bigger MastermindGrow Your Real Estate Business with Real BrokerageJoin our Facebook Play Bigger Community

In this FOMO Sapiens episode, Patrick McGinnis speaks with Byron Lofflin, Global Head of Board Advisory at NASDAQ and co-author of CEO Ready, about how to build better boards, smarter leaders, and more resilient organizations. Lofflin's career was shaped by the 2008 financial crisis, when he saw firsthand the cost of poor governance and weak risk oversight. Since then, he's made it his mission to elevate board standards and prepare future CEOs for the realities of leadership.He argues that true readiness goes beyond qualifications; it's about humility, process, and the courage to ask the right questions. Lofflin explains how succession planning should be a continuous improvement cycle, not a last-minute search, and why boards must proactively manage stakeholder dynamics to avoid surprises like the OpenAI leadership crisis. Through case studies and practical frameworks, Lofflin offers a playbook for leaders who want to build excellence at every level, from boardrooms to executive suites.

http://www.sherylkline.com/blogIn the latest Fearless Female Leadership interview, I had the honor of talking with Sarah Lloyd Favaro, Senior Solutions Director, Office of Responsible AI and Governance at HCLTech, about one of the most urgent and misunderstood leadership topics today: how leaders can mitigate AI bias for women.Sarah's career has always lived at the intersection of technology and learning. Long before generative AI swept into the mainstream, she was exploring how tech could enhance human capability (not replace it.) But with the rapid rise of AI tools, Sarah doubled down on understanding how these systems work, why bias appears, and how leaders can prepare their organizations for a future where AI is woven into every workflow.What makes Sarah's perspective so powerful is her blended expertise: she understands both the practical magic of AI and the very real risks. She believes strongly that if organizations benefit from AI's productivity and innovation, they must also ensure equitable, responsible, human-centered usage.She emphasizes the critical role leaders play in upskilling their workforce… especially women, who are statistically underrepresented in AI fields. According to Sarah, equitable access to education and tools is non-negotiable if companies want to avoid widening gender and societal gaps.Sarah also demystifies what many call the AI “black box.” She explains that becoming confident with AI doesn't require being an engineer. Instead, it requires learning how to communicate with AI systems, think critically about outputs, and understand where bias may creep in.Her message is both empowering and practical: AI is here to stay. And with the right awareness, skills, and strategies, women and leaders can shape a future where AI is an equalizer (not a divider.)

I lead with clarity, vision, and purpose, knowing that as I grow, my team and business grow with me. I release the need to micromanage, and instead, I create an environment where my team feels safe, valued, and inspired. I trust in their strengths, delegate effectively, and watch my business thrive as we move to seven figures and beyond."   Here are three actionable tips to anchor in this week's affirmation Delegate with Trust: Start by delegating one key task that you have been holding on to. Trust your team member to handle it and provide feedback, not micromanagement. Allow them the space to perform, even if it's not done exactly how you would do it. Hold Clear Team Meetings: Ensure your team understands their role in the broader vision of your business. Hold a meeting to communicate the company's goals, values, and vision for the next 90 days. Make sure everyone knows how their work contributes to the overall success. Invest in Leadership Development: Commit to improving your leadership skills. Read books, attend workshops, and work with a coach who can help you develop better ways to manage and support your team. As you grow as a leader, your business will naturally thrive.   Affirm with me: "I am closing my leadership gap by stepping into my full potential as a leader, empowering my team and trusting their abilities. I lead with clarity, vision, and purpose, knowing that as I grow, my team and business grow with me. I release the need to micromanage, and instead, I create an environment where my team feels safe, valued, and inspired. I trust in their strengths, delegate effectively, and watch my business thrive as we move to seven figures and beyond."   And this week's journal prompts are: "As a leader, I want to empower my team by delegating... and trusting them with..." "The leadership gap I most need to address in my business is... and I can begin closing it by..." "To improve my leadership, I will focus on... and take one step today to create more trust and clarity with my team."   And your prayer of the week: Heavenly Father,   We thank You for the opportunity to grow as leaders in our businesses. Help us to lead with clarity, confidence, and grace. We ask that You guide our actions and decisions, empowering us to delegate with trust and create an environment where our teams feel valued and supported. Lord, we recognize that leadership is a skill we can develop, and we pray for the wisdom and strength to close the leadership gap in our businesses. May we lead with purpose, serve with integrity, and trust that as we grow, our businesses will grow with us.   In Your name, we pray. Amen. Want more of Darnyelle?

What happens when a former NHL player who once faced Wayne Gretzky ends up running a global data company that sits at the center of the AI boom? That question kept coming back to me as I reconnected with Mike McKee, the CEO of Ataccama, seven years after our last conversation. So much has shifted in the world since then, yet the theme that shaped this discussion felt surprisingly grounded. None of the big promises of AI can take hold unless leaders can rely on the data sitting underneath every system they run. Mike brings a rare mix of stories and experience to this theme. His journey from the ice to the C suite feels like its own lesson in discipline, teamwork, and patience, and he openly reflects on the way those early years influence how he leads today. But the heart of this conversation sits in the reality he sees inside global enterprises. Everyone is racing to build AI powered services, yet the biggest blockers are messy records, inconsistent metadata, long forgotten databases, and years of quality issues that were never addressed. It is a blunt problem, and Mike explains why the companies winning with AI right now are the ones treating data trust as a foundation rather than an afterthought. Across the discussion, he shares stories from organisations like T Mobile and Prudential, where millions of records, thousands of systems, and vast volumes of structured and unstructured data must be monitored, understood, and governed in real time. Mike walks through how teams build confidence in their data again, why quality scores matter, and how automation now shapes everything from compliance to customer retention. What stood out most is how quickly the expectations have shifted. Boards and CEOs now treat data as a strategic asset rather than an operational chore, and entire roles have emerged above the chief data officer to steer these programmes. This episode is also a reminder that AI progress is never only about models or GPUs. Mike pulls back the curtain on why organisations struggle to measure AI readiness, how they can avoid bottlenecks, and what it takes to prioritise the work that actually moves the needle. His point is simple. Without trustworthy data, AI remains a promise rather than a practical tool. With it, businesses can act with confidence, respond faster, and make decisions that genuinely improve outcomes for customers and employees. So as AI reaches deeper into systems everywhere, how should leaders rethink their approach to data trust, governance, and quality? And if you have been on your own journey with data challenges, where have you seen progress and where are you still stuck? I would love to hear your thoughts.

In this episode, I'm leaning in with my dear friend and mentor, Cathy Greer. If you're a high-capacity, high-functioning woman, you'll want to pay attention—Cathy's wisdom is truly like going to a chiropractor for your heart, helping leaders, CEOs, and government officials (and busy moms!) get into alignment. We dive right into the core issue facing high-impact women: the loneliness of leadership, and how finding a safe place to process is the critical guardrail against moral failure. We also discuss how to stop waiting for the heavens to open and start recognizing the everyday ways God's voice is speaking to you.   Then, we pivot to marriage, where I ask Cathy about the courageous (and challenging!) conversation she had with her husband about the big question: "What is it like to be married to someone like you?" Her insights on co-leading and ditching the need for control are pure gold.   Finally, we redefine the "dirty word" of submission, exploring why it's not about bowing to a spouse, but about trusting God's order—a path that brings safety and peace instead of the chaos and destruction that comes from building a business outside of biblical alignment.  

There's a difference between watching someone scale to 8-figures… and sitting at the table with them learning how they did it.In this episode, I'm sharing a behind-the-scenes look at a recent executive retreat with founders running $5M to $100M businesses—and the raw takeaways that rocked me.You'll also hear a mid-retreat coaching call where I challenged my community to make a public declaration (and follow through).If you've ever wondered what really happens inside high-level mastermind rooms—or what it takes to grow from where you are to where you want to be—this one's for you.Click >>PLAY

What if creativity isn't a gift possessed by a few—but a skill every leader already has? In this episode of Partnering Leadership, Mahan Tavakoli sits down with Tessa Forshaw and Rich Braden, co-authors of Innovation-ish: How Anyone Can Create Breakthrough Solutions to Real Problems in the Real World. Drawing from their work at Stanford and Harvard, they share how innovation is less about genius and more about discipline, collaboration, and the willingness to see differently.Forshaw and Braden dismantle the myth of the lone genius, showing how the best ideas rarely come from one person's brilliance but from diverse teams willing to challenge each other's assumptions. They unpack the concept of “cognitive caution”—that natural human tendency to play it safe—and explain how leaders can create the psychological conditions that make creativity thrive.The conversation explores why traditional brainstorming often fails, why “innovation theater” gives the illusion of progress without impact, and what leaders can do to make innovation an everyday practice rather than a one-off event. From developing the muscles of divergent and convergent thinking to understanding how fear, hierarchy, and bias stifle creative problem-solving, this dialogue offers a roadmap for embedding innovation deeply into leadership and culture.Braden and Forshaw also discuss the responsibility that comes with innovation—how thoughtful leaders must consider both the intended and unintended consequences of new ideas. And in a world reshaped by AI, they offer a refreshing reminder: technology can amplify human creativity, but it cannot replace the curiosity, humility, and judgment at the heart of real leadership.This episode is a must-listen for CEOs and senior leaders who want to foster innovation that's not performative, but practical—and who see creativity not as a department, but as a leadership imperative.Actionable TakeawaysYou'll learn why everyone—not just “creative types”—is capable of breakthrough thinking, and how leaders can help teams rediscover that confidence.Hear how to replace “innovation theater” with daily practices that embed creativity into decision-making and culture.Discover the concept of cognitive caution—and how to reduce the fear and hesitation that quietly shut down new ideas in organizations.Explore the difference between divergent, convergent, and executive thinking—and how each contributes to effective innovation.Find out why the myth of the lone genius hurts innovation, and what truly collaborative creativity looks like inside high-performing teams.Learn how to ask better questions—the kind that expand perspective, reveal blind spots, and lead to better solutions.Hear why humility may be a leader's most powerful innovation skill, enabling curiosity and openness across the organization.Understand why short-term performance pressures often block creative problem-solving—and what leaders can do to make space for exploration.Connect with Tessa Forshaw and Rich BradenInnovationish Website Innovationish Substack Tessa Forshaw LinkedIn Rich Braden LinkedIn Connect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website
