Podcasts about commitments

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I sit down with Chris Malleo, co-author of The ChairLeader, for a moving conversation about his unexpected journey from college athlete to transformational leader. Chris shares how his own setbacks—on and off the field—ultimately led him to coaching, where an email from Frankie Kennevy, a nonverbal young man with cerebral palsy, changed everything. Together, Chris and Frankie turned a struggling football program into champions, building a culture rooted in selflessness, gratitude, and the belief that attitude can overcome any circumstance. Chris reflects on the incredible lessons he learned from Frankie about resilience, teamwork, and what it really means to make an impact. This episode is a powerful reminder that leadership is about lifting others up, and the greatest victories come from the heart. Listeners will be inspired by The ChairLeader and rethink what's possible! About Chris, Chris Malleo is a former Northwestern and professional football player turned coach, author, and leadership entrepreneur. As the founder of Culture Health and the author of The ChairLeader, Chris helps leaders and organizations strengthen culture through trust, alignment, and intentional leadership. After leading one of the nation's top high school football programs — sending 48 players to college in four years — Chris transitioned into commercial real estate, where he advises high-net-worth families and businesses on large-scale investments. His unique journey from locker rooms to boardrooms gives him a rare perspective on how great cultures are built. Grounded in faith, family, and purpose, Chris lives in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida with his wife Ashley and their four children.

Send us a textBuyer payments didn't spiral because people forgot how to shop; they spiraled because the inputs changed overnight. We sit down with builder leader Tommy Fryer to talk candidly about what kept new construction moving when rates doubled—and why transparency beats shiny incentives every time. From the DR Horton headlines to the realities of “payment shock” letters, we lay out how improved taxes, real insurance quotes, and honest monthly numbers safeguard buyers and reputations.Tommy walks us through the rollercoaster: 2019 optimism, 2020–2021 mania, and the 2023 slowdown that forced everyone to reset. The answer wasn't gamesmanship. It was forward commitments—rate lock buckets that buy down payments without inflating prices or risking appraisals. That choice to take margin pain instead of hiding costs stabilized affordability, protected backlogs, and kept trades working. We also get into inventory discipline, smarter cycle times, and how to avoid a return to metered chaos that leaves buyers waiting months for a chance to sign.If you're an agent or lender, you'll hear a playbook for true partnership: full 3 percent commissions, Agent Rocks lead sharing, CE, and even builder-provided listings—plus a clear path for outside lenders to serve clients with meaningful closing cost credits. For buyers, especially VA borrowers, we map out the “rent it, then rebuy” strategy that turns relocations into stepping stones and builds long-term wealth through lease offsets and entitlement reuse. The throughline is simple: align around the monthly payment, tell the truth early, and choose programs that help families stay in their homes.Subscribe for more real talk on mortgages, incentives, and market timing.

In this episode of The Fractional CMO Show, Casey Stanton unpacks what it really means to build long-term commitments—in business, in life, and with your clients. He draws parallels between parenting, marriage, and marketing to show why real success as a fractional CMO doesn't come from chasing quick wins or stacking short-term contracts—but from committing deeply to the right people and problems over time.    Casey shares how marketers can shift from being short-term “consultants” to long-term “farmers”—building stable, profitable relationships with just a few high-value clients. He explains why focus and consistency outperform luck and adrenaline, how “time under load” creates mastery, and why a calm, predictable business beats boom-and-bust revenue cycles every time.    Along the way, Casey offers a reality check on the myth of easy money, guidance on setting and holding big goals, and a reminder that true freedom comes from discipline and depth—not distraction.    Whether you're just starting your fractional journey or ready to stop reinventing yourself every 90 days, this episode is a must-listen roadmap to building a stable, fulfilling, and high-income practice for the long haul. Key Topics Covered: -Why short-term thinking keeps fractional CMOs stuck in reinvention -The shift from “consultant” to “farmer” and why long-term wins -How to build stable, multi-year client relationships -The power of “time under load” and deep mastery -Why three great clients beat 15 short-term ones -How focus and consistency outperform luck and hustle -The freedom that comes from calm, predictable revenue -Why discipline and commitment drive lasting success

In this episode of Positive Leadership, I share the key to successfully leading change: it's all about relationships. I'll reveal that most change initiatives fail not because of the change itself, but because leaders overlook the importance of building trust and connection with their teams. I'll talk about how great communication creates trust, commitment, and teamwork, all essential for driving and implementing change effectively. Learn why focusing on relationships leads to greater buy-in and better results when guiding your team through transitions.

The hardest promise to keep is the one you make with yourself. In this solo episode, Chad Peterman kicks off a new series based on The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership, diving deep into one of the most important commitments a leader can make: practicing integrity. Integrity isn't just about morality or “being a good person.” It's about alignment between what you think, feel, say, and do. Chad explores how to make impeccable agreements, take full responsibility for your results, and repair relationships where trust has slipped. He also shares personal stories from leadership and home life, showing how small daily promises like reading in the morning or keeping calm in conflict shape who we become as leaders. Whether you're leading a growing HVAC team or developing the next generation of leaders, this episode will challenge you to reflect, realign, and live your commitments fully. Additional Resources: The 15 Commitments of Conscious LeadershipJoin The ARENA - a CSTG Community (powered by our media partner, PeopleForward Network) Chad on LinkedIn Chad Peterman | CEO | Author Peterman Brothers Website Follow PeopleForward Network on LinkedIn Learn more about PeopleForward Network Key Takeaways: Integrity Begins Within: The hardest commitments to honor are the ones you make with yourself — and they reveal your true leadership character. It's About Alignment, Not Perfection: Integrity means your thoughts, words, and actions match — not that you never fall short. Make Impeccable Agreements: Keep promises clear and intentional. Your word defines your credibility and influence as a leader. Take Full Responsibility: Growth happens when you stop blaming and start asking, What's my role in this? Clean It Up: Broken trust can be rebuilt through honesty, humility, and a willingness to have hard conversations. Consistency Builds Trust: The inside must match the outside — integrity thrives in everyday choices, not just big moments.

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I'm joined by Jim Murphy, author of Inner Excellence, for a powerful conversation about purpose, perseverance, and what happens when quiet impact meets a viral moment.  Jim's story is one of those overnight-success tales that actually took decades. After years of speaking, coaching, and writing for athletes and leaders behind the scenes, one unexpected moment on an NFL sideline, a book in the hands of A.J. Brown, and a few words from the broadcast team sent Jim's work into the spotlight. What happened next? His book went from ten copies sold in a week to nearly half a million. We talk about what it's like to go from overlooked to bestselling almost overnight, the deeper mission behind Inner Excellence, and how Jim stayed grounded through all the noise. Most of all, we dive into the why behind his work and the calling to help others live and lead with love, joy, and true inner power. If you've ever wondered whether doing the right work for the right reasons still matters, this episode will answer that with a resounding yes. This isn't just a story about a book. It's a reminder that impact happens when you stay faithful to the mission, even when no one's watching. Tune in and be inspired by Jim's journey and the truth that the best is yet to come.   About Jim, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Murphy is a Performance Coach to some of the best athletes and leaders in the world. He began his career as a professional baseball player in the Chicago Cubs organization. After experiencing vision issues that ended his playing career, Murphy coached with the Texas Rangers as well as the South African Olympic baseball team. He has worked with some of the world's best golfers, including world champions, FedEx Cup champions, and world #1's. The majority of Murphy's clients have the best year of their careers in their first year working with him. In addition to coaching professional athletes and executives, Murphy leads Inner Excellence offsite retreats around the globe. He is the president of the Inner Excellence Freedom Project whose mission is to build communities to alleviate spiritual and physical poverty around the world.   Here's a few additional resources for you… Follow me on Instagram: @JonGordon11 Order my new book 'The 7 Commitments of a Great Team' today!

In this episode, I chat with investor Clay Dumas of Lowercarbon Capital about the growing use of “advance market commitments” (AMCs). We discuss how this simple idea — a group of buyers commits to purchasing a set amount of a product if it can be produced — can derisk investment and jumpstart innovation in the climate economy's toughest sectors. Clay explains what makes for a well-designed AMC and how it can accelerate the path to commercialization for everything from carbon removal to green steel. This is a public episode.

For COP30, the international climate talks in Brazil in November, the countries of the world are supposed to roll out their new Nationally Determined Contributions or NDCs: their commitments to cut emissions. China's NDC is particularly eagerly awaited: it is the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases. Its NDC has been described as the most important document that will be published this year. In this edition of the Energy Gang, recorded at New York University, host Ed Crooks and regular guest Amy Myers Jaffe (Director of NYU's Energy, Climate Justice and Sustainability Lab) explore the security, technology and climate implications of China's energy policy. They are joined by someone who knows a lot about China's role in the energy transition: David Sandalow, who is the Inaugural Fellow at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University. He talks through China's rapid clean energy rollout, from solar to EVs, and its implications for the race for dominance in AI. We also welcome back Joseph Webster of the Atlantic Council, who studies China's energy system and the implications for geopolitics.China's energy surge in recent years has been staggering. The country added 217 gigawatts of solar capacity in 2023, and kept growing into 2024 and 2025. It is also leading the world in batteries and electric vehicles. Joseph explains how China's energy investments intersect with military tech, particularly in AI and batteries, positioning China as a global leader in energy and technology innovation. Is the US struggling to keep up?Then, late drama! While we were recording, China finally released its new NDC, pledging a relatively modest 7-10% emissions reduction from peak levels. Some other countries and climate campaigners had hoped for more ambition. But the numbers involved are still staggering. The NDC sets a target of expanding wind and solar capacity to 3,600 GW by 2035, six times 2020 levels, and three times the entire generation capacity of the US, in all technologies. Ed, Amy, David and Joseph react to the news in real time and debate what it means for energy in the US and beyond.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of Positive Mindset Monday, I talk about “the habit before the habit”, that crucial first step we often overlook on our journey to building lasting change. I share insights on why so many of us struggle to create new habits, and how simply getting started with an entry-level commitment makes all the difference. I get honest about the power of momentum, and how stacking small wins gives us the energy and belief we need to keep moving. Whether you're trying to launch a new morning routine or break an old pattern, I encourage you to focus less on perfection and more on showing up consistently. Join me as we explore why simplicity, not complexity, kicks off sustainable growth.
