What if one of the most powerful business minds of our time wasn't a CEO or a founder—and instead, a singer-songwriter who's been redefining her brand strategy since age 13?Today, we're diving into the business brilliance of Taylor Swift — and to help us do it, I'm joined by Kevin Evers, Senior Editor at Harvard Business Review and author of There's Nothing Like This: The Strategic Genius of Taylor Swift.I got to know Kevin because he was the editor of my most recent book, The First Rule of Mastery. He was fantastic and I fell in love with the way he thought and his deep knowledge and reference points of business. Kevin has spent years studying how great leaders express their ideas, and when he told me he was writing a book about Taylor Swift, I knew we had to have him on to discuss what she's built. This conversation is not about her songwriting or her latest mega-tour; it's about how she built a billion-dollar brand using clarity, intense connection, and creative risk-taking. It's about strategy, reinvention, and staying relentlessly close to what lights you up — even when that comes with severe risk. As you listen, use the conversation as a way to reflect on your own relationship with reinvention. Are you playing it safe when boldness is what's required? How do you stay connected to the core of who you are – stay connected to your purpose — even when external success might tempt you to stay small?I hope you enjoy this week's awesome conversation with Kevin Evers.__________________Kevin Evers; Instagram https://www.instagram.com/there_is_nothing_like_this/ and Linked In https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-evers1/Subscribe to our Youtube Channel for more powerful conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and meaning: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!

Living Through the Aftershock: COVID-19's Lasting Impact on Our Lives and Leadership In this deep and wide-ranging conversation, Amrita Subramanian and Michael D. Levitt explore the profound and lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic—not just on health systems, but on our humanity, leadership, and everyday decisions. Reckoning With Collective Trauma The episode opens with a candid reflection on how society continues to carry the emotional residue of the pandemic. Amrita underscores the importance of acknowledging that crisis is not an interruption—it's a constant. Michael builds on this by noting how many individuals still carry unprocessed trauma, often triggered by subtle reminders from the pandemic era. Leaders, he argues, must create space for that healing, not push people to simply “move on.” Mortality, Reflection, and Missed Opportunities Amrita shares that COVID-19 accelerated deeper societal trends and forced a confrontation with mortality. Michael adds that the pandemic was a moment when the world could have come together—yet instead, we saw fragmentation. Together, they challenge listeners to reflect on whether we're growing from the crisis—or avoiding it. Growth Through Adversity Both hosts explore how some individuals used the pandemic as a springboard for transformation. Amrita calls these people "magnets"—those who attract possibility through growth and reflection. Michael discusses how our choices ripple outward, affecting teams, families, and communities, and urges leaders to lean into thoughtful, values-based decision-making. Making Peace With Chaos In a thought-provoking segment, Amrita reframes chaos—not as disorder, but as the natural state when clarity and consensus are missing. Michael and Amrita discuss the necessity of continuous learning and the paradox of a generation navigating both truth and noise. The takeaway? We're standing at a crossroads that could lead to either a new renaissance—or a descent into disconnection. Humility and Leadership in Uncertain Times Amrita calls for a return to humility, especially in leadership. She advocates for an unlearning of rigid systems and encourages empathy-based decision-making. Michael echoes this, pointing to the dangers of ego in crisis and the importance of making choices grounded in service and self-awareness. Decisions That Shape the Future Michael shares strategies for making clear-headed decisions amid chaos—removing emotion from the process and using systems like checklists to stay aligned. Amrita offers a counterbalance: the role of curiosity and inner wisdom in guiding leaders toward choices that benefit the greater good. Together, they highlight the legacy we're leaving for the next generation—a chance to lead with civility, courage, and care. Living Fully, Leading Wisely The episode closes with reflections on what it means to live a fulfilling life. Amrita encourages gentle self-examination, while Michael reminds us that leadership starts with personal responsibility—and a commitment to making choices that serve not just ourselves, but those around us.   Amrita is a former Fortune 500 VP who has devoted 22+ years of her career to helping organizations thrive amid crises.   She is also a trailblazer in post-disruptive growth as a faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania and a guest lecturer at Wharton. She has almost completed her Ph.D. on post-traumatic growth in adults through COVID-19.   As the world faced the first collective trauma/crisis disruption in modern-day history, the COVID pandemic, Amrita launched a first-of-its-kind study to explore how pain leads to growth and analyze our ability to heal ourselves during an unparalleled crisis.   Her work is dedicated to providing education and practical solutions for individuals and communities worldwide. Her lessons draw from the evidence-based practices of everyday people who have shown heartfelt humility and wisdom in the face of crisis and devastation.   The research study has amassed global participation, and she is convinced that it will show the pandemic strengthened us and renewed our sense of identity, purpose, and community.   Amrita knows well that there is growth from trauma based on what she's endured in her own life.   At the age of five, she was abandoned in a convent. The trauma and abuse she endured throughout that time resulted in selective mutism until she was 11 years old, among other things.   Amrita is now using her voice to help guide humanity and speak out about the many facets of pain and what good could come from them.   On the podcast, she would love to talk about: What happens to the future and nature of work (employees, employers, departments, engagement, stress, fatigue, etc.) following the collective trauma we all walked through? What is the nature of post-disruptive/post-crisis leadership? Who do we need to be to lead ourselves to the next edge of growth and harmony, given crises are only now going to be constant (economic or ecological)? The pandemic is still largely under-processed, and folks do not seem to be making denial a choice. People seem to be hungry to process what they experienced. This article explains why we need to talk about and process pain and how pain can also lead to growth. To get a sense of Amrita, here's an episode she did recently on The Trauma Therapist Podcast, where she talked about how her life has been shaped by continuous growth from trauma.

t was sixty days into his new role when Brian McClintock tells us he realized the company's monthly “profit” was actually a million-dollar loss. As the CFO reviewed the financials, he discovered that each rosy figure concealed a troubling truth. For many executives, panic might have followed. Instead, McClintock's response underscored a key principle: remain calm and stay focused on data-driven solutions.As he dug deeper, a misalignment of actual costs and revenue assumptions emerged, revealing the precarious financial situation that demanded immediate action. Determined to right the ship, he mapped a bold course, recommending a strategic acquisition that would fortify cash flow and support operational improvements. “We had to leverage operational insights along with our existing relationships,” McClintock explains, adding that his experience in complex telecom environments allowed him to see beyond the numbers. The result was rapid transformation. Within a year, the company went from losing seven figures each month to generating a million dollars in monthly EBITDA—proof of the CFO's insistence on purposeful change.

In this powerful and honest message, Co-Pastor Ezekiel Perez challenges believers to move beyond childish Christian behavior and embrace the childlike heart Jesus honors. Drawing from Matthew 18, 1 Corinthians 13, Mark 10, and Hebrews 13, he exposes the subtle ways immaturity can damage spiritual relationships—especially when believers passively challenge leadership to justify offense. This sermon calls the Church to grow, not by becoming hardened or guarded, but by becoming more loving, trusting, forgiving, curious, and hopeful. Whether you've been a passive challenger, a weary leader, or someone longing for a purer walk with Christ, this message invites you to spiritual maturity by returning to the simplicity of childlike faith.Co-Pastor Ezekiel Perez | April 8, 2025The Fountain Apostolic Churchone_ (2025)Learn more at tfachurch.com/plusChapters:00:00 Childlike vs. Childish: An Introduction03:04 The Nature of Childish Faith06:09 The Burden of Immaturity08:52 Building Bridges, Not Barriers11:50 The Heart of a Leader14:59 The Power of Childlike Faith18:04 Encouragement vs. Criticism21:03 The Importance of Trust and Openness24:07 Creating a Welcoming Environment26:51 The Impact of Immaturity on Relationships30:10 Healing Through Childlike Love33:25 The Impact of Hurt on Relationships34:06 Maturity and Childlike Heart35:39 Shifting from Toxicity to Tenderness38:02 The Power of Forgiveness41:40 Hope and Childlike Faith42:49 Embracing Childlike Joy45:50 The Role of the Church in 202549:10 Responsibility in Leadership56:41 The Lasting Impact of Our Words

As part of their ongoing quest to determine the greatest movie of the year, the hosts analyze whether Ghost in the Shell is more than the sum of its parts, how it explores the concept of identity, and what it has to say about the meaning of life. With its groundbreaking animation, philosophical depth, and lasting influence on sci-fi cinema, Ghost in the Shell remains a must-watch for movie fans and anime lovers alike.Ghost in the Shell: A Sci-Fi Masterpiece or a Beautiful Puzzle?Director Mamoru Oshii's Ghost in the Shell is visually breathtaking and thematically rich, but does it all come together into a perfect film?

The Movie of the Year panel examines the philosophy of the Puppet Master and its perspective on human consciousness. Is true existence defined by a biological body, or can intelligence alone constitute life? The hosts debate whether Ghost in the Shell provides answers or leaves audiences lost in existential uncertainty.The Lasting Impact of Ghost in the ShellSince its release, Ghost in the Shell has influenced an entire generation of filmmakers, from the Wachowskis (The Matrix) to Denis Villeneuve (Blade Runner 2049). Its mix of action, cyberpunk world-building, and deep philosophical themes continues to shape anime, sci-fi, and pop culture. The hosts discuss how the film's legacy is tied to both its stunning visuals and its intellectual ambition, ensuring its place as one of the most important anime films ever made.Final Thoughts: Why GITS Still MattersThe podcast concludes with a discussion on why Ghost in the Shell remains essential viewing.
