Podcasts about Silicon Valley

Ever feel like life's moving so fast that you forget to pause and reflect on what's actually working—or what's not? We all get caught up chasing goals, juggling priorities, and trying to “do more,” but sometimes the real key to living happier isn't in doing more—it's in reflecting more. That's exactly what I unpack in this solo episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, where I dive into one of my all-time favorite reflection practices: The Rose, Thorn, and Bud Method.This stupid-simple (yet incredibly powerful) exercise has been used by Navy SEALs, Silicon Valley founders, and high-performing entrepreneurs across the world. And it's one that I personally use to get clarity, cultivate gratitude, and stay in harmony—both in business and in life. The beauty of this practice is that it doesn't take long, but it can completely shift how you show up every day.So here's the breakdown. The Rose represents what's going well in your life—your wins, your highlights, your gratitude moments. For me, my personal rose right now is that my wife is pregnant with our baby girl (yep, I'm about to be a #GirlDad, and I couldn't be more excited!). Professionally, my rose is hosting the upcoming Optimized Life Mastermind with my buddy Ben Greenfield, which is shaping up to be an epic experience for entrepreneurs who want to level up their health, wealth, and happiness.Then comes the Thorn—the challenges, the friction points, the stuff that's testing you. I'll be real with you, my thorn lately has been not showing up as intentionally in my marriage as I'd like to. I've been on the road nonstop for masterminds and events, and it's been tough to balance that with being the husband Steph deserves—especially now that she's pregnant. Professionally, my thorn has been building out a new SaaS business that's pushing me outside my comfort zone. It's exciting, but it's also tough. And that's okay. The thorn reminds us to pay attention to what needs care, boundaries, or change.Finally, there's the Bud—what's emerging, what's next, what you're excited to nurture and grow. For me, it's watching my son step into big brother mode and seeing The Happy Hustle Club continue to blossom into a supportive brotherhood of heart-centered entrepreneurs. This community blows me away with their vulnerability, generosity, and genuine support for each other—it's proof that when you lead with love and authenticity, you attract the right tribe.If you take one thing from this episode, let it be this: reflection isn't just about slowing down—it's about tuning in. It's how you spot the blessings, transform the struggles, and plant the seeds for what's next. When you take the time to acknowledge your roses, your thorns, and your buds—personally and professionally—you gain the clarity and alignment to truly Happy Hustle your dream reality.So grab a journal, take five minutes, and write it down: What's your rose? What's your thorn? What's your bud? The answers might just change the way you show up for yourself and others.Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

Is the AI boom an AI bubble? Wall Street and Silicon Valley increasingly think so.This week JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said "a lot of assets" appear to be "entering bubble territory."Earlier this month Amazon founder Jeff Bezos said the AI market was an "industrial bubble" where stock prices were "disconnected from the fundamentals" of their businesses.But big tech shows little sign of pausing its massive investments in artificial intelligence. So how is it that A-I could change the world ... and is also maybe in a bubble?Stanford economist Jared Bernstein, a former White House chief economic adviser and co-author of a recent New York Times op-ed on the subject, explains.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org. Email us at considerthis@npr.org.This episode was produced by Brianna Scott.

Every major technological revolution has come with a bubble: railroads, electricity, dot-com. Is it AI's turn? With investments skyrocketing and market valuations reaching the trillions, the stakes are enormous. But are we witnessing a genuine revolution—or the early stages of a spectacular crash?Princeton professor Arvind Narayanan joins Luigi Zingales and Bethany McLean to explain why he believes AI's transformative impact is overstated. Drawing on his book AI Snake Oil, co-authored with Sayash Kapoor, Narayanan argues that capitalism's incentives can distort technological progress, pushing hype faster than reality can deliver. They examine how deregulation, geopolitical competition, and private control over data shape the trajectory of AI's development.They also explore what could happen if the bubble bursts: massive market shocks, exposed structural weaknesses in the economy, and a wave of painful restructuring that could echo the dot-com crash—but on a far larger scale. It's a conversation that cuts through the hype and asks what's at stake when an entire economy bets on one technology. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

History professor Mark Bray is no stranger to death threats. As the author of the book Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, published in 2017, he has received backlash and harassment from far-right circles for almost a decade. But things recently escalated after the Trump administration designated antifa as a “domestic terrorist organization,” and far-right influencers with a newfound power targeted Bray. Mike sits down with WIRED's David Gilbert and Leah Feiger to discuss what went down, how the role of far-right influencers has expanded exponentially during the past year, and what responsibility tech companies carry. Articles mentioned in this episode:  He Wrote a Book About Antifa. Death Threats Are Driving Him Out of the US | WIRED  Trump Wants to Take Over Cities. Influencers Are Giving Him the Fuel to Do It | WIRED  The Who's Who of MAGA Influencers You Should Know About by Now | WIRED  Join WIRED's best and brightest as they provide an insider analysis of the overlap between tech and politics, from the influence of Silicon Valley on the Trump administration to how inaccurate information from artificial intelligence (Ai) chatbots fanned the fire on social protests.

With Trump's health visibly in decline, attention is shifting to Peter Thiel's invention, JD Vance, who may soon be president. Which means Thiel, a billionaire doomsday prepper who thinks the Anti-Christ is Greta Thunberg, could effectively rule the world. What does Thiel's obsession with the Anti-Christ reveal about how we can resist him? Thiel's worldview isn't just weird Silicon Valley paranoia; it's vintage fascist fan fiction. His ideas trace back to Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt, who justified Hitler's violent purges as necessary for “saving civilization.” Schmitt's argument was simple and horrifying: democracy is too weak, so we need a strongman to suspend the rules. Thiel recycles Schmitt's logic in a twenty-first-century sermon on why democracy itself is the real threat. In Thiel's version, collective action to solve global crises like man-made climate change is the definition of evil. So you know what to do, folks: double down on building collective action. In Part One of our conversation with journalist Gil Duran, of the Nerd Reich newsletter, that tracks Silicon Valley's billionaire Bond villains, we dig into Thiel's apocalyptic delusions, how they shape his politics, and why it's a very big deal that a man this afraid of democracy has his hands in everything from expanding government surveillance to election data. Part Two will be out this Thursday, with a special look at Thiel and Trump's Big Brother–their latest efforts to establish a Chinese-style surveillance state.  Want to hear Gaslit Nation ad-free?

As we wrap up our season on Taming our Technologies: [Spiritual] Practices for a Digital Age, Ruth and Jay delve into the topic of technology's impact on deep and creative work. They discuss the transformative impact of technology on creativity, productivity, and the ability to perform deep, meaningful work. Jay highlights the distinction between human creativity and artificial intelligence, and Ruth shares personal insights from her writing process, stressing the sacred and divine nature of creative endeavors. Thank you for journeying with us this season as we explored the realities of technology and its impact on various aspects of our lives.   Questions to ponder this week:  Ask regularly this week, “God, what have you given me to give to others?”  How in touch am I with the deep work to which God has called me? Am I clear on what the work is for which I've been created and God has prepared for me?  We're back for Season 27, titled “Taming our Technologies: [Spiritual] Practices for a Digital Age.” This season we have a special co-host, pastor, author, and podcast host Jay Y. Kim! Jay will be joining Ruth all season long to explore the impact technology is having on our lives with God, our attention span, our parenting, our community, and our creativity. Jay and Ruth will wrestle with their own questions and wonderings about finding balance in using technology in good and helpful ways while also acknowledging its challenges. This season aims to be gracefully thought-provoking, practically helpful, and ultimately hopeful and encouraging.   Jay Kim serves as lead pastor at West Gate Church in the Silicon Valley of California.

Jamie Daggett started his career as a mechanical engineer working for cleantech startups in Silicon Valley. But after five startups and three buyouts, Daggett saw the same story repeat itself: good technologies that worked in the lab often died before reaching commercial scale.  And often they didn't fail because the science was wrong; they failed because investors couldn't trust that the performance would hold up over time. That realization eventually led him to an unexpected place: insurance.  Today, Daggett is the energy storage and fuel cell lead at Ariel Green, a Lloyd's of London syndicate that provides a wide range of insurance for clean-energy projects.  “Insurance is another tool that we can use to help grow the clean-energy market,” says Daggett. “I do feel like it plays an unsung role behind the scenes.” In this episode, produced in collaboration with Ariel Green, Daggett talks with Stephen Lacey about how insurance is helping the energy storage sector mature.  They discuss how the bankruptcy of Powin Energy exposed the fragility of supplier warranties, what the Moss Landing fire revealed about chemistry and safety risk, and how new markets for long-duration and non-lithium storage are testing the boundaries of what can be insured.  Daggett explains how technology performance insurance now allows lenders, developers, and manufacturers to move faster by transferring risk from young suppliers to a creditworthy insurer. This is a partner episode, produced in collaboration with Ariel Green. Ariel Green helps clients reduce uncertainty by providing investment-grade insurance for clean-energy projects — protecting the technologies that protect the environment.

Marty shares his comprehensive six-part model for self-awareness, providing leaders with a practical framework for deeper self-understanding.

Eric Franchi and Joe Zappa discuss the acquisition of IAS and the company's potential future directions, how an open internet adtech company could crack the SMB market and which companies are most likely to do it, and the surge of optimism around AI — from GEO to OpenAI to Silicon Valley's return to adtech investing.

Reinvention often begins with a single moment that changes how we see our lives and the impact we want to make. Michelle Bockman, CEO of KeraLink International, shares her story and it reminds us what can happen when vision and purpose align.Michelle's story is one of true reinvention. After building a remarkable corporate career across Fortune 100 companies and Silicon Valley startups, she found herself at a crossroads. Around that same time, life threw her an unexpected curveball, she lost the central vision in her right eye due to a rare condition. During her treatment, doctors also discovered cancer in her other eye.What happened next changed everything. While Michelle regained her full 20/20 vision after treatment at Johns Hopkins, the experience opened her eyes (literally and figuratively) to a new calling, leading KeraLink International, a nonprofit focused on ending preventable blindness around the world.Michelle has completely reimagined what a modern nonprofit can be. She's built an ecosystem that includes:Community Programs that bring eye screenings and care to underserved areas.KeraX Venture Studio, developing affordable eye-care technologies that can be used anywhere in the world.KeraLink.com, an eyewear brand where 100% of the profits go right back into funding care.One of my favorite parts of our conversation was hearing how they're training women health workers in India who go door-to-door to help families get care. These women are finding new confidence, independence, and purpose creating ripple effects that go far beyond vision care.“When vision meets purpose, everything becomes clear.” — Michelle BockmanMichelle's story is a powerful reminder that reinvention is about embracing unexpected opportunities and being open to possibilities.Action Step: Take a quiet moment this week to ask yourself: What part of my story is ready to be seen in a new light? Sometimes clarity begins when we give ourselves permission to look again.About Michelle Bockman:Michelle Bockman is President & CEO of KeraLink International, a nonprofit focused on reducing corneal blindness globally by expanding eye care accessibility. With 25+ years of leadership at Fortune 100s and Silicon Valley startups, she brings strategic vision and a passion for innovation to her mission-driven role.Find out more:https://www.linkedin.com/in/michellebockman/https://keralink.orgLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/keralink-international/YouTube: @KeraLinkInternationalInstagram: @keralink_internationalFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/KeraLinkIntlKeep shining your light bright.

In this episode of REACH, we're joined by Kris Cordle Goodsall, Founder and CEO of Devenu Collaborations. Throughout her career, Kris has supported some of Silicon Valley's most influential leaders, including Ev Williams at Twitter and Stewart Butterfield at Slack, guiding them through the evolution from product creator to company leader. At Slack, she played a key role in scaling the company globally and later served as Chief of Staff, leading through its direct listing and $27.7 billion acquisition by Salesforce. Drawing on those experiences, Kris now coaches founders and CEOs of growth-stage companies, helping them strengthen leadership teams, uncover blind spots, and scale with intention. Kris shares what she learned observing leadership up close, how those lessons shape her coaching today, and why avoiding burnout and setting boundaries are essential for both executives and their teams. She also reflects on her own journey from Executive Assistant, to a sabbatical in France, to Chief of Staff, and now executive coach, revealing how each chapter taught her to redefine success and leadership along the way.

We live in what Heath Hardesty calls the age of disintegration - a world marked by fragmentation, distraction, and disconnection. I feel that deeply. So many of us are trying to hold our lives together in a culture that constantly pulls us apart. In this conversation, Heath joins me to talk about how apprenticeship to Jesus offers another way - a way toward coherence, union, and wholeness. Heath is a pastor in the Bay Area and the author of All Things Together: How Apprenticeship to Jesus Is the Way of Flourishing in a Fragmented World. We talk about what it means to move beyond simply knowing about Jesus to actually living with Him - to abide, obey, and become people who image His love in a fractured world. We explore practices like unhurried presence and compassionate gentleness, and how they reveal a kind of power that's rooted not in control, but in love. If you've felt scattered, weary, or disoriented in your faith, this episode is an invitation to slow down, breathe, and remember that in Christ, all things hold together.Heath Hardesty is the author of All Things Together: How Apprenticeship to Jesus is the Way of Flourishing in a Fragmented World (WaterBrook; on sale 10/14/25) and he serves as the lead pastor of Valley Community Church and is the founder of Inklings Coffee & Tea in the heart of downtown Pleasanton, California. Heath grew up in a blue-collar home and was a plumber's apprentice in Colorado before becoming a pastor on the edge of Silicon Valley where he, his wife, and four kids now reside. He holds degrees in literature, leadership, biblical studies, and theology from the University of Colorado Boulder and Western Seminary in Portland.

According to San Francisco workers, the hustle culture of the pre-pandemic days has returned in the form of long working days and weekends at the office. So called “996 work”, which originates from China's tech scene, is a work schedule that starts at 9 a.m. and ends at 9 p.m., six days a week. The hustle isn't new to Silicon Valley, but the hyper-competitive AI tech race and the fact that some employers are making 996 mandatory for its staff, or using it as a recruitment filter, could lead to uncharted territory. We talk about the origins of 996, the grind culture of Silicon Valley, and whether or not this trend is going to stick.

In this week's episode, we're re-airing one of our top episodes with Stacy Sims, MSC, PhD, a forward-thinking international exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist who aims to revolutionize exercise nutrition and performance for women. Have you ever wondered why one week you feel like you're crushing it in the gym, and the next you just don't have the energy? Newsflash: women are NOT small men. Our hormones fluctuate throughout the month, which has subtle (and sometimes obvious) impacts on every area of our lives—including exercise.In this episode you'll learn: * Exercise myths that need to be busted* If women really need to cycle sync their workouts* What women need to know about cold therapy* How to know if you're eating enough* Why creatine isn't just for gym bros* And more…Dr. Stacy has directed research programs at Stanford, AUT University, and the University of Waikato, focusing on female athlete health and performance and pushing the dogma to improve research on all women. She has published over 70 peer-reviewed papers, several books and is a regularly featured speaker at professional and academic conferences, including those by USOC and USA Cycling.With the unique opportunities, Silicon Valley has to offer, during her tenure at Stanford, she had the opportunity to translate earlier research into consumer products and a science-based layperson's book, Roar, written to explain sex differences in training and nutrition across the lifespan. Both the consumer products and the book challenged the existing dogma for women in exercise, nutrition, and health. This paradigm shift is the focus of her famous "Women Are Not Small Men” TEDx talk.This episode is brought to you by beeya: * Learn more about beeya's seed cycling bundle at https://beeyawellness.com/free to find out how to tackle hormonal imbalances. * Get $10 off your order by using promo code BEHINDHEREMPIRE10Follow Yasmin: * Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yasminknouri/* Stay updated & subscribe to our newsletter: https://www.behindherempire.com/Follow Dr. Stacy: * Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstacysims/* Website: https://www.drstacysims.com/ Hosted on Acast.

We're puppets. AI has its hand up our collective asses, and we're all just talking like Kermit the Frog while Russian bot farms tear society apart. Dramatic? Maybe. True? Unfortunately. In this episode we look into the increasingly unhinged intersection of AI, social media manipulation, and what's left of our shared reality. It's not all doom. There's some genuine good AI can do (like helping my kid with homework). But it's mostly doom. Here's what we covered: The Episode Breakdown Mental institutions are overrun with people suffering from AI-related disorders, some fell in love with chatbots, others can't function without AI assistance, others are spiraling into existential dread Bot farms are weaponizing brands in culture wars (see: Cracker Barrel's logo change), and most of that online outrage isn't from humans, it's from Russian troll operations Peter Thiel is out here telling Christians at private Silicon Valley rallies that stopping AI development will hasten the Antichrist (I wish I were making this up) You are the product not the customer, on every social media platform. The actual customers are advertisers buying your attention. The cost is your sanity. The cave tour guide principle: How darkness + suggestion = seeing threats that aren't there (based on Jason's actual cave tour guide days) Why everything feels existential: The internet profits from making every problem feel like a crisis. Your nervous system can't tell the difference between real threats and manufactured outrage. The influencer accountability problem: Anyone can build an empire on conspiracy theories now. There's no regulation. No licenses. Just vibes and reach. The only real escape: "Just don't look" (Simpsons-style). Not forever. Not completely. But enough to remember what reality feels like. ---- MORE FROM BROBOTS: Connect with us on Threads, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Tiktok Subscribe to BROBOTS on Youtube Join our community in the BROBOTS Facebook group ---- LINKS TO OUR PARTNERS: Take control of how you'd like to feel with Apollo Neuro Explore the many benefits of cold therapy for your body with Nurecover Muse's Brain Sensing Headbands Improve Your Meditation Practice.

About Monica Walls:Monica Walls is a people-powered powerhouse with a passport full of stories and a heart wired for human connection. From the boardrooms of Silicon Valley to the sidewalks of global cities, Monica has always led with purpose, whether as an HR exec orchestrating change or as a volunteer rolling up her sleeves at food drives and walk-a-thons.But the corporate grind couldn't contain her creative spirit for long. Fueled by her Croatian roots, wanderlust, and a splash of bold lipstick, Monica stepped into her next chapter as the founder of Keca's Usna: a lip color line where every shade has a soul. Tired of formulas that flaked or felt uncomfortably sticky, she mixed science with sentiment to craft lipsticks that stay put and feel like a hug for your lips.Keca's Usna isn't just makeup; it's a love letter to heritage, storytelling, and the magic of being unapologetically you. Every hue celebrates individuality, every tube is rooted in values, and every swipe is a reminder: beauty is personal, powerful, and meant to be shared. In this episode, Jennie Bellinger and Monica Walls discuss:Corporate Life to Entrepreneurial JourneyLip Color Brand with Personal HeritageBuilding a Team and Delegating TasksProduct Development ChallengesConfidence and Trusting Entrepreneurial Instincts Key Takeaways:Monica's journey demonstrates that personal frustration with existing products can spark innovative business ideas.Connecting products to personal heritage creates a powerful narrative that resonates with customers, and the Croatian roots of Keca's Usna and meaningful color names transform lip color from a simple cosmetic to a storytelling medium.Successful entrepreneurs recognize their limitations and strategically bring in specialized talent.Creating high-quality lip color involves complex formulation processes beyond simple color mixing, meaning that rigorous testing, ingredient selection, and understanding customer needs are critical to developing a standout cosmetic product.Embracing vulnerability and learning from experiences can transform initial uncertainties into powerful entrepreneurial strengths. "Your business ethics and your core values are what make you up as a person. And for me, those things are non-negotiable.” — Monica WallsConnect with Monica Walls:  Facebook Business Page: https://www.facebook.com/kecasusnaLinkedIn URL: https://www.linkedin.com/in/monicawalls/Instagram Business Link: https://www.instagram.com/kecasusna/ Link to Gift from Monica Walls:Use the code BADASS15 for 15% off your total order!No minimum required order, and can be combined with a 10% discount for your  first-time orderLink: https://kecasusna.com Connect with Jennie:Website: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/Email:  jennie@badassdirectsalesmastery.comFacebook personal page: https://facebook.com/jbellingerPLFacebook podcast page: http://facebook.com/BadassDirectSalesMasteryFacebook group for Badass Crew: https://facebook.com/groups/BadassDirectSalesMomsInstagram: https://instagram.com/BadassDirectSalesMasteryPersonal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedirectsalesdomme/LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/BadassDirectSalesMastery The Badass Direct Sales Mastery Podcast is currently sponsored by the following:Bella Grace Elixir: https://shopbellagrace.com/?ref=jenniebadassdirectsalesmasteryLeadBuddy Digital Marketing: Use code BDSM when checking out at https://leadbuddy.io/pro-monthly-9310?am_id=jennie582 Show Notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel Alvarez Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

What if AI could solve one of fashion's biggest problems—waste—while helping men look sharp without ever setting foot in a mall? In this episode of The Root of All Success, I sit down with Anya Cheng, a Silicon Valley tech executive turned founder of TAELŌR, an AI-powered clothing rental and styling platform for men that's transforming how fashion meets technology and sustainability. Before launching TAELŌR, Anya helped build Facebook and Instagram Shopping at Meta, led innovation at eBay and Target, and scaled McDonald's global food delivery. Today, she's using AI to make fashion smarter, more sustainable, and accessible to busy professionals. We dive into how Anya turned a personal frustration into a groundbreaking business model—and what her journey reveals about innovation, leadership, and courage in a male-dominated industry.

Two people were killed Sunday afternoon when the small airplane they were on crashed near Hicks Airfield in Fort Worth, igniting a massive blaze that sent a plume of thick black smoke into the air. Several crews were dispatched to North Saginaw Boulevard following the crash. Several first responders from different agencies responded to the scene. In other news, over the past decade — as North Texas' famous economic boom has taken off in earnest — more than 700 companies have expanded their presence in greater Dallas-Fort Worth. Increasingly those D-FW campuses feature elaborate design elements and amenities — everything from specially commissioned artwork to integrated lighting sensors to restaurant-quality cafeteria offerings — that rival those of Silicon Valley or New York City. And rookie kicker Ryan Fitzgerald made a 33-yard field goal as time expired and the Carolina Panthers knocked off the Dallas Cowboys, 30-27 Sunday. Former Cowboy Rico Dowdle rolled up 183 rushing yards on 30 carries for the Panthers. He added 56 yards receiving and a touchdown. Learn more about your ad choices.

Strategy doesn't fail for lack of ideas—it fails at the handoff to execution. We bring in OKR expert and Wave Nine founder Philip Schett to show how to close that gap with clear goals, shared rituals, and a culture that trades micromanagement for ownership. Philip's journey from Germany to Silicon Valley reframed his thinking: great companies don't win because they dream better; they win because they execute better. That mindset shift powers the conversation as we dig into OKRs done right—less about perfect wording, more about changing team behavior, building trust through transparency, and making alignment a weekly practice.We unpack the patterns behind “set and forget” goals, and why town halls and slide decks rarely produce real alignment. Philip introduces three simple rituals that compound: Monday calibrate to focus on outcomes for the week, Friday celebrate to make progress visible and energizing, and quarterly resets to protect priorities without hiding behind annual vagueness. We explore accountability with a human tone—say what you'll do, do what you said—using one-on-ones for tough conversations and public forums for recognition. You'll hear how co-creating OKRs prevents dehumanizing top-down mandates, why OKR champions are key to scaling across functions, and how nonprofits can turn passion into measurable impact with the same playbook.If you've ever watched goals vanish by week three, wrestled with cross-functional friction, or confused motion with progress, this episode offers a practical operating system: verify understanding instead of assuming it, make work visible to accelerate trust, and anchor execution in rhythms your team can keep. Subscribe, share this with a leader who needs clearer focus, and leave a review telling us which ritual you'll start this week.Get in Touch with Phillip Schett:https://www.linkedin.com/in/philipp-schett/#OKRs #LeadershipExecution #BuildTrust #TeamAlignment #MondayCalibrate #LeadershipPodcast #ExecutionCultureI'd love to hear from you!
