Podcasts about Leadership

A strange brew that's hard to resist, even for a modern day microbe. In the war on devilish microbes, our weapons are starting to fail us. The antibiotics we once wielded like miraculous flaming swords seem more like lukewarm butter knives. But in this episode, originally released in 2015, we follow an odd couple, of a sort, to a storied land of elves and dragons. There, they uncover a 1,000-year-old secret that makes us reconsider our most basic assumptions about human progress and wonder: what if the only way forward is backward? Special thanks to Steve Diggle, Professor Roberta Frank, Alexandra Reider and Justin Park (our Old English readers), Gene Murrow from Gotham Early Music Scene, Marcia Young for her performance on the medieval harp and Collin Monro of Tadcaster and the rest of the Barony of Iron Bog. Can't get enough of that sweet, sweet antibiotic resistance content? Then you'll be over the moon about next week's release. It's the podcast cut of our most recent installment of our live show series called Viscera. This one features executive editor Soren Wheeler and Avir Mitra, and it's all about how our millenia's-long war against bacteria came to a tipping point in this modern age.

What is the psychology behind how the human brain constructs reality? When David Eagleman fell twelve feet off a roof as a child, the entire fall lasted just 0.6 seconds, yet his brain made it feel like an eternity. That moment sparked a lifelong curiosity about the brain and how it constructs perception, ultimately leading him to Stanford and a career in neuroscience. In this episode, David reveals the science of time perception, brain plasticity, and sensory substitution, and why the human brain is far more powerful and expandable than you ever imagined. In this episode, Hala and David will discuss: (00:00) Introduction (01:26) A Childhood Fall That Revealed Time Perception (06:46) How the Brain Constructs Reality  (10:33) Hidden Senses the Human Brain Is Missing (16:46) What Is Brain Plasticity and Livewiring?

He is the writer and presenter of the international PBS series The Brain with David Eagleman and The Creative Brain on Netflix. His bestselling book Livewired reveals how the brain adapts in real time, reshaping our understanding of perception, consciousness, and human psychology.

With our nation at war and under threat, the last thing you'd want is uncertainty and a staffing shakeup at the agency responsible for protecting our country. But here we are. We talk about why Joe Kent, the U.S. head of counterterrorism, resigned, and whether we may be better off with a replacement given his history of promoting conspiracy theories. Also, President Trump vowed to take Cuba. We try to understand the foreign policy that's taking shape where he seems to favor cutting the head of a country but leaving the body. In other words, don't get too caught up in the details of what's next because it's not my administration's problem. Plus we take your questions, including what's the difference between professional politicians and professional candidates.

What if the ceiling in your business isn't fear of failure… but fear of being fully seen? We rarely admit it—especially as driven, faith-filled leaders— but some of the deepest resistance doesn't come from lack of clarity or strategy.It comes from the quiet question in your soul:“Am I truly ready for what I said I wanted?”In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, we step into a confronting conversation about the unseen fear behind your hesitation, not fear of falling short, but fear of actually rising into who you've been called to become. If you've felt tension in your momentum, resistance in your spirit, or the pull to stay hidden when God is asking you to rise…This one is for you. Because sometimes, the scariest thing about success is realizing it requires all of you.If this episode stirred something in you, it's time to take the next step.

In this special episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Fritz Klein, one of the nation's leading Abraham Lincoln portrayers, during America's 250th celebration in Springfield, Illinois. Through a unique and engaging conversation, “President Lincoln” reflects on his journey into public life, the challenges of leading during the Civil War, and the enduring principles of equality, self-governance, and unity that shaped America. Fritz Klein also shares how portraying Lincoln for nearly 50 years has influenced his own views on leadership, humility, and human nature. The discussion explores how Lincoln navigated deep national division, worked with people who disagreed with him, and remained committed to the founding ideals during one of the most difficult periods in American history. It also draws connections between Lincoln's time and today's political climate, highlighting lessons on civility, compromise, and preserving freedom. This episode brings history to life in a powerful way, reminding us that the challenges we face today are not new—and that the principles that guided Lincoln can still help guide us forward.

Democrats are melting down, and the fellas are not letting them hide it. When party leadership is getting dragged around by the radical left, what's left of the “moderate Democrat” brand? And when Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries can't even steer their own caucus, how exactly are they planning to steer the country? Josh Holmes, Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan, and John Ashbrook jump into the chaos surrounding Democrat leadership, the DHS shutdown disaster, and the growing reality that there is no such thing as a moderate Democrat anymore. In this episode… Democrat leadership in free fall Abigail Spanberger's “moderate” mask slips DHS shutdown politics and the national security fallout The SAVE Act fight and what it actually means PLUS, Why are Republicans fighting each other while Democrats hand them a winning issue? The fellas break down how Schumer and Jeffries are boxed in by their own base, why the immigration debate keeps exposing Democrat weakness, and how even purple-state Democrats govern like full-blown radicals the second they get power. It's not subtle anymore. It's not complicated. And voters are starting to notice. Special Guest: Rep.

In this raw episode of Do Good to Lead Well, I welcome Tom Hardin, whose journey from Wall Street hedge fund analyst to one of the FBI's most prolific informants is a powerful examination of what drives good people to cross ethical lines. Despite the widespread belief that corruption comes from major events, Tom outlines the subtle drift and rationalizations that can turn ambition into poor decisions.Tom makes a compelling case that most people are far more vulnerable to contextual pressures than they would care to admit. In fact, he argues that the more confident we are in our belief that we are incorruptible, the more likely we are to make an ethical misstep. Through honest storytelling, the episode urges us to move beyond blaming or distancing ourselves, challenging us to ask better questions, reflect on our own values, and foster workplaces where psychological safety and true accountability can thrive.For anyone seeking a deeply personal and vulnerable understanding of ethics, culture, and resilience, this conversation delivers practical tools for self-reflection, leadership, and building lasting trust. These heartfelt lessons matter at every level of business and life.What You'll Learn- Why 80% of us are at risk of “moral drift” if we're not vigilant- The crucial difference between mistakes and choices- Culture is what gets rewarded- How leaders can spot and stop ethical slippage, starting with “the little things”- The power of asking better questions—not just of your team, but of yourself- Why honesty, humility, and self-forgiveness are the real superpowers in leadershipPodcast Timestamps(00:00) – The Decision to Share a Profound Story of Vulnerability(05:14) – Cheating is a Choice(09:19) – Ownership, Shame, and the Challenges of Self-Forgiveness(13:06) – Moral Drift and Rationalization(16:35) – How to Spot Warning Signs(24:05) – Culture, Values, and Leadership(40:01) – Resilience and Redemption(45:08) – Radical Listening(48:22) – A Story of Hope and Personal AgencyKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Insider Trading, Behavioral Ethics, Organizational Culture, FBI Informant, Compliance, Self-Reflection, Vulnerability, Rationalization, Psychological Safety, Ethical Culture, Whistleblowing, Character Development, Integrity, Reputation vs. Character, The Peril of Incentive Structures, Ethical Decision-Making, Personal Values, Resilience, Redemption, Asking Clarifying Questions, Moral Drift, Organizational Justice, CEO Success

Ever wonder why some contracting businesses grow into valuable companies while others stay stuck in survival mode? Many owners work long hours, generate leads, and push for growth, yet their business still depends completely on them. The real challenge isn't just getting customers it's building systems, leadership, and value that allow the business to scale and eventually sell. In this episode of The Better Than Rich Show, host Mike Abramowitz sits down with Lynn Wise, author of Build It, Grow It, Sell It: Nine Steps to a Thriving Contracting Business. With more than 40 years of experience owning and operating multiple successful service companies, Lynn shares practical insights for contractors who want to grow a business that doesn't rely on them every day. Lynn explains the common mistakes contractors make when trying to scale, especially around lead management, marketing accountability, and operational systems. He breaks down why many businesses spend thousands on marketing but still struggle to turn leads into scheduled jobs. According to Lynn, the problem is rarely marketing itself it's the lack of focus on lead management, systems, and follow-through. The conversation also dives into the long-term goal many owners overlook: building a business that has real transferable value. Lynn outlines how contractors can move from being a technician running a job to becoming a business owner leading a company. He shares how leadership, systems, and strategic planning help businesses grow sustainably while also preparing them for an eventual sale or transition. Whether you're a contractor, home service owner, or entrepreneur trying to build a company that runs without you, this episode offers practical strategies for creating a profitable and scalable business.  Timestamps [00:00] Introduction to Lynn Wise [01:20] The biggest problems contractors face with marketing and leads [03:40] Why businesses spend money on marketing but see poor results [06:10] The real issue behind lead conversion failures [09:05] Building systems that support growth [13:30] Transitioning from technician to business owner [17:10] Leadership and accountability in growing companies [22:15] Why many contracting businesses fail to scale [27:05] The importance of operational focus [32:40] Creating a business that can eventually be sold [38:10] Long-term planning for contractors [43:20] Final lessons from 40+ years in the trades  Key Quotes “Many contractors think they have a marketing problem when they actually have a systems problem.” “Leads don't grow businesses systems that convert leads grow businesses.” “The goal isn't just to run a business. The goal is to build a business that works without you.” “Contractors who focus on operations and leadership create companies that last.” “If your business depends entirely on you, you don't own a business you own a job.”  Key Takeaways Focus on converting leads before spending more on marketing. Build systems that allow your company to operate consistently. Shift from technician thinking to business owner leadership. Create processes that reduce dependency on the owner. Plan long-term so the business can eventually be sold or transferred.  Links Mentioned Build It, Grow It, Sell It – Nine Steps to a Thriving Contracting Business https://www.amazon.com Contractor in Charge https://www.contractorincharge.com Connect with Lynn Wise on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com   Email: Subject Line Options: Lynn, your episode is packed with wisdom. Your Better Than Rich episode just dropped. This conversation will help contractors everywhere.

Ed shares the lessons he learned raising ten children, the standards that shapedhis family culture, and the mistakes he sees modern parents making every day.From chores to accountability to emotional resilience, this episode exposes the gap between what parents say they want and what they're actually teaching.If you want to raise leaders — not dependents — this conversation will challenge you, sharpen you, and change the way you show up at home.#RaisingLeadersNotRoommates#ParentingWithPurpose#EndEntitlement#LeadershipAtHome#RaiseAdultsNotKids#ParentingTruths#FamilyCulture#AccountabilityMatters#ResponsibilityStartsAtHome

We've never had more access to information or more tools to make work faster and easier. But according to Nicholas Carr, author of The Shallows and Superbloom, speed and efficiency come with trade-offs we rarely stop to examine. In this episode, Michael and Megan talk with Carr about the paradox of modern productivity: the very systems that help us scale our work can fragment our attention and erode the depth that makes that work meaningful. If you've felt stretched thin or subtly less present than you want to be, this conversation will help you re-evaluate your technology—and the life you're building with it.Memorable Quotes“Many people have this sense that as everything speeds up, we seem to be able to do more. But actually our attention gets fragmented and we're not thinking as straight as we used to…The basic mistake at a personal level is the assumption that human attention, human thought, human communication always gets better as it gets more efficient.”“At a certain point, we simply overload our natural mental and psychological capacity to communicate, to process information, to make coherent thoughts. And at that point, a reversal takes place in faster communication: faster flow of information actually undermines understanding, undermines productivity, and in the worst case scenario, can start undermining relationships as well.”“As we use the tools, they also shape us. And I think that's particularly true of information technologies, communication technologies, media technologies.”“One of the big problems is that [social media platforms] take all friction out of socializing. You think, ‘Oh, we don't want friction.' But actually, it's… making an effort, having to do some work, maybe even having to pay a little money for a stamp to put on an envelope—all of these things deepen our connection to what we're doing. Getting rid of all the friction makes everything very fast, but it also makes everything superficial.”“We're encouraged to take the path of least resistance all the time. And if people can just step back and say, ‘When is efficiency good? When is getting something done as quickly as possible the best way to accomplish it? And when is the product going to be better if I actually put more effort into it, if I work at it?'”“The way we master a skill, any skill, is by actually practicing it. Getting in there, coming up against friction, coming up against barriers and overcoming them. That's the only way to raise your level of mastery or expertise… If you just go the path of least resistance at the very beginning, then you never get that deep learning and you never get the joy of becoming talented.”“One of the dangers of this screen-based life that we haven't talked about is that it steals from us certain levels of sensory engagement with the world… there's a lot of joy in connecting to the world with all our senses that, if we constantly have this little rectangle of glass in front of us, we're losing.”Key TakeawaysFaster Isn't Always Better. At a certain point, efficiency overloads our cognitive and emotional capacity. More communication can undermine understanding, productivity, and even relationships.Tools Shape Their Users. We create technology, but over time, it reshapes how we think, communicate, and experience the world. Texting, scrolling, and AI-assisted writing subtly influence depth and nuance.Friction Fuels Mastery. Deep learning requires struggle. When we automate the hard parts—like reading closely, writing clearly, thinking critically—we sacrifice growth for convenience.AI Is a Fork in the Road. Used wisely, AI can sharpen ideas and support thinking. Used carelessly, it can replace the very mental practices that build wisdom and skill.Replacement Beats Removal. Simply cutting back on technology often leaves a vacuum. Replacing screen time with embodied, social, or sensory-rich experiences creates lasting change.Local Community Is a Powerful Antidote. Book clubs, gardening groups, shared meals and other face-to-face interactions restore depth in ways screens cannot replicate.Resources“Live a Quiet Life and Work with Your Hands” (Substack Article)Superbloom by Nicholas CarrThe Shallows by Nicholas Carrnicholascarr.comWatch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/9afbaUcmvYQThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

What if the very beliefs driving your success are also the ones quietly burning you out? In this episode of The Greatness Machine, host Darius Mirshahzadeh sits down with neuroscientist and founder of Dr. Rewire, Dr. Alok Trivedi, for a powerful conversation on how the brain, beliefs, and nervous system truly shape success and fulfillment. Dr. Alok shares his origin story, the breakdown that sparked his breakthrough, and how decoding the “anatomy of belief” allowed him to rewire his life and business. Together, they explore why traditional mindset work often falls short, why the brain is wired for protection rather than happiness, and why integration, not hustle, is the real path to sustainable performance. The conversation dives into Dr. Alok's Four Brains framework, the dopamine-driven highs and lows of achievement, and how entrepreneurs can align with their true design to reduce burnout, anxiety, and self-sabotage. In this episode, Darius and Dr. Alok will discuss: (00:00) Introduction to Dr. Alok Trivedi (02:12) Dr. Alok's Origin Story and Mission (05:20) The Shift from Personal Development to Neuroscience (07:25) Understanding the Connection Between Mind and Body (12:26) The Role of Beliefs in Shaping Reality (16:26) The Importance of Why and Why Not (19:42) Aligning Ego and Soul for Success (24:24) The Four Brains Model of Leadership (29:41) Bridging the Gap to Ideal Profiles (33:18) Integrating Life for Authenticity (38:52) The Cycle of Highs and Lows in Achievement (43:36) Final Thoughts and Greatness Question Dr. Alok Trivedi, widely known as Dr. Rewire, is a neuroscientist and human performance expert dedicated to transforming lives through brain-based optimization. He has built one of the world's largest healthcare clinics, impacting over 500,000 people across 73 countries, and is the founder of Dr. Rewire, an Inc. 5000–recognized company.

Most CEOs believe their biggest challenge is strategy. It's not. In this episode, Lisa Goldenthal breaks down the real leadership trap burning out high-performing CEOs—not lack of vision, but the hidden cost of becoming the decision bottleneck. Through sharp insights and practical frameworks, Lisa challenges leaders to confront a critical question: If you stepped away for 30 days, would your company accelerate—or stall? This conversation dives into what truly slows execution inside organizations—over-centralized decisions, lack of ownership, and leaders operating in the weeds instead of at altitude. Lisa unpacks why many CEOs unintentionally become the ceiling of their company—and how to shift from carrying the business to building systems that scale. You'll learn: ·        Why execution slows when too many decisions flow back to the CEO ·        How to identify if you're leading strategically or reacting operationally ·        The difference between building a high-performing system vs. over-functioning as a leader ·        How energy, mindset, and clarity directly impact decision quality ·        What it takes to lead at altitude in fast-moving, high-pressure environments This episode is a must-listen for CEOs, founders, and executive leaders ready to eliminate decision bottlenecks, reclaim leadership capacity, and scale without burnout. Because in today's environment, success doesn't come from doing more. It comes from deciding better—and building organizations that don't depend on you for every move.

The difference between a good salon and a world-class one isn't talent. It's standards, and the leadership to hold them.In this episode, I take inspiration from the Netflix series Being Gordon Ramsay and unpack what it really takes to build a world-class business, whether that's a restaurant or a salon. Because when you strip it back, the fundamentals are the same. It's not about talent alone. It's about standards, leadership, and the culture you create.I talk about the obsession with detail that separates good from exceptional, why leadership isn't always comfortable (but it is necessary), and how the best teams operate as a unit, not a group of individuals. These are practical insights you can apply immediately in your salon.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00] Introduction and why this matters for salon owners[00:48] Lessons from The Bear and restaurant culture[02:21] Why Being Gordon Ramsay is worth watching[04:00] The 3 pillars: standards, leadership, and pride[04:31] Why standards, not talent, drive excellence[06:30] The power of attention to detail[07:40] Leadership, clarity, and responsibility[08:44] Finding the breaking points in your business[10:12] Respect for craft and raising standards[12:12] From employees to custodians of the brand[13:35] The big question: what are you building?WANT MORE TO HELP YOU GROW?

The Manager Method: Practical, Human-Centered Leadership for a Changing WorkplaceIn a world where technology and AI are transforming the workplace at breakneck speed, the fundamentals of great leadership remain rooted in human connection and intentional action. In a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Ashley Herd, the Founder and CEO of Manager Method, to explore the core of effective management. Drawing on her diverse background in legal and HR leadership at organizations like McKinsey, Ashley shares how to move beyond abstract theory into actionable behaviors. This conversation provides a roadmap for executives and founders to drive performance and talent retention through a refreshingly human-centered lens.Scaling Leadership Excellence: The "Pause, Consider, Act" FrameworkHigh-performing leaders often struggle with the "reactive trap"—the tendency to respond impulsively to the endless stream of workplace demands. Ashley Herd argues that the most effective tool in a leader's arsenal is the intentional pause. Most management mistakes are born from quick answers that leaders later regret, especially in high-pressure environments. By taking a moment to step back before making a decision, a leader creates the space necessary to avoid bias and emotional knee-jerk reactions. This practice is the foundation of the "Manager Method," transforming leadership from a series of frantic responses into a deliberate strategy that builds trust and long-term credibility with the team.Effective leadership development must also be scalable and sustainable, rather than a one-time event that ends once a workshop concludes. Ashley emphasizes a "three-legged stool" approach to management training, which combines on-demand video learning, practical resource guides, and live cohort sessions. This model moves away from the traditional, expensive external trainer model and focuses on building internal muscle memory. By integrating bite-sized, practical lessons into a manager's monthly routine, organizations can ensure that leadership skills are being practiced and refined in real-time. This ensures that the "human touch" remains a core differentiator, even as automation and AI begin to handle more administrative heavy lifting.Transparency remains the ultimate currency in a modern workplace defined by rapid change. Many leaders wait until they have a "perfect" plan before communicating with their teams, but this silence often breeds anxiety and speculation. Ashley advocates for a "work-in-progress" communication style where leaders acknowledge what they know, admit what they don't, and involve the team in brainstorming solutions. Whether navigating a personnel change or integrating new AI tools, involving the team early reduces fear and empowers employees to become stakeholders in the outcome. When people feel seen and valued as human beings rather than mere resources, they are far more likely to remain engaged and productive during periods of transition.About Ashley HerdAshley Herd is the Founder and CEO of Manager Method and a highly sought-after leadership consultant. With extensive experience in HR and employment law, she has led people operations for global firms and has become a leading voice in modern management. She is the author of The Manager Method: A Practical Framework to Lead, Support, and Get Results, and is dedicated to making high-level leadership training accessible to managers at every level.About Manager MethodManager Method is a leadership development firm that provides practical, scalable training for organizations seeking to improve management performance. The company offers a mix of digital learning, resource toolkits, and facilitated sessions designed to build foundational skills in communication, feedback, and empathy. Manager Method focuses on human-centered frameworks that drive results by empowering leaders to lead with clarity and intention.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeManager Method Official Website: www.managermethod.comAshley Herd on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashleyherd/Key Episode HighlightsThe "Pause, Consider, Act" Framework: A three-step method for reducing impulsivity and making more empathetic, informed decisions.Transparent Communication: Why admitting "I don't have all the answers yet" is more effective than silence during periods of organizational change.The Three-Legged Stool of Training: A scalable model for management development that integrates video, resources, and live peer discussion.AI and the Human Differentiator: Why the rise of automation makes human-centered management skills like empathy more valuable than ever.Leadership as a Practice: Learning from music—why consistency and foundational "basics" are more important than being a management virtuoso.ConclusionThe conversation with Ashley Herd highlights that great leadership is built on small, consistent actions rooted in empathy and transparency. By adopting the "Pause, Consider, Act" framework, leaders can navigate workplace complexity with confidence while building a culture that prioritizes human connection.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

His experience especially in healthcare projects, shows how intentional process and team dynamics make the difference between chaos and predictable outcomes.  Key Highlights: Continuous improvement isn't a buzzword it's a set of choices and habits Leadership in construction happens on the ground as much as in meetings Lean principles are human, not just technical Follow Lee on LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/lrweeden/  where he posts regularly about leadership and lean in construction.  

I've spent eight years watching brilliant, dedicated principals do everything right — and still hit the same invisible ceiling. More effort. More initiatives. More of themselves poured into the work. And yet the results plateau, the staff drifts back, and in the quiet moments nobody else sees, the principal starts asking the most dangerous question in education: if I'm doing everything I was trained to do… why isn't it working? In this episode, I'm giving that ceiling a name — the Leadership Ceiling — and I'm going to show you exactly what it looks like in your building, why it has nothing to do with your ability or your effort, and why the principals who finally break through it don't do it by becoming better leaders. They do it by deciding to build #LikeABuilder.

S6:E30 What happens when leadership is treated like status instead of stewardship? In this episode, Dr. LL sits down with Jim Matuga, founder of Interaction Media, longtime entrepreneur, podcast host, spirit "ambassador" for West Virginia, and author of Humble Influence. We had a grounded conversation about culture, followership, faith, community, and what it really takes to lead people well in a turbulent era. If people don't trust you, they won't follow you. If they don't feel seen, they won't stay. If leadership is performative instead of relational, culture eventually breaks under pressure. Jim brings a perspective shaped by entrepreneurship in West Virginia, decades in media and marketing, and the lessons behind his book Humble Influence. The book is especially compelling because it pushes against a familiar leadership distortion: the idea that everyone must be the leader, or that followership is somehow lesser. Instead, Jim makes a thoughtful case that healthy followership is a choice, humility is strength, and better leadership often begins with understanding how to support, empower, and elevate others. Faith is part of that foundation too, not in a heavy-handed way, but as a steady moral center around service, love, and responsibility. I thoroughly enjoyed his book and read it cover to cover.

Success doesn't happen in one big moment. It's built in the small decisions, the hard lessons, and the chapters you almost quit. Chris and Chad are joined by Aaron Gainor to unpack the real turning points that shaped their businesses. From writing down bold revenue goals before they knew how to reach them, to surviving bad hires, sales struggles, and the weight of leadership, this episode dives into what actually changes a company's trajectory. It's not theory. It's lived experience from leaders who built, scaled, stumbled, and kept going. If you're a home service leader navigating growth, culture shifts, or the pressure of scaling, this one will challenge you to look in the mirror, refine your vision, and lead with intention. Because the turning point isn't luck. It's ownership.

Host: Danny Bader Guest: Jonelle Marie Carter   What does it mean to take back your life, reclaim your lost identity, and overcome the barriers within your own mind as you start again after profound loss?    In this episode Danny sits down with Jonelle Marie Carter, a singer whose life was up-ended by a cancer diagnosis that eventually lead to the loss of her singing voice (literally). After waking up from life-changing surgery, Jonelle felt like a completely different person. She had lost a critical part of who she was. The singing-voice in which she had tied up so much of her identity and her career was gone. Faced with the choice to accept defeat or choose to embrace her struggle, Jonelle learned to lean into her strength, challenge her anxiety, and re-discover her voice. In this episode Danny and Jonelle discuss:   The power of mind-set. The value and importance of self-talk. Leadership. The courage to trust your voice. "Confidence isn't something you're born with, it's something you build." Jonelle Marie Carter's: Website FaceBook Instagram TikTok

What if the key to strong leadership isn't leading harder—but following better? In this episode, Bethany sits down with theologian, engineer, and business coach David Schmidt to explore how a leader's worldview shapes everything from decisions to definition of success. David shares why Christian leaders must build their leadership on a foundation of following God first—and how daily time in Scripture transforms the way we lead, serve, and pursue results. They also discuss why success in leadership isn't measured by profits or productivity, but by faithfulness and obedience to God. When leaders focus on diligence and honoring God in their work, the results are ultimately in His hands. Key Takeaways Your worldview shapes your leadership—what you believe about God and purpose influences every decision you make. Leadership transformation begins by following God first, not just adopting better mindsets or strategies. Sanctification matters in leadership—what's inside you will come out when pressure hits. True success for Christian leaders is obedience and diligence, while trusting God with the results. The simplest leadership habit that changes everything: spend time in God's Word every day.

What does it look like to spend a lifetime investing in students—and watch that impact reach across generations and around the world? In this powerful episode of Youth Worker On Fire, Doug Edwards sits down with legendary youth ministry leader Dr. Jay Strack for an unforgettable conversation on leadership, calling, and long-term ministry impact. From his early days speaking in small rooms to influencing leaders on a global stage, Dr. Strack shares how God uses faithfulness, relationships, and simple obedience to shape a life that truly makes a difference. Doug and Dr. Strack also reflect on their recent time together in Israel during the Ambassador Summit 2025, offering unique perspective on leadership, influence, and what happens when ministry leaders step into moments bigger than themselves. But this episode goes far beyond one trip—it's about the journey of saying "yes" to God over and over again.

What is one behavior you repeat that may be undermining your leadership?In episode 264 of At The Table, Patrick Lencioni and Cody Thompson discuss how leaders can grow by identifying habits such as interrupting others, avoiding conflict, or deflecting discomfort with humor. Leadership advice often focuses on adding new tools, strategies, and frameworks, but sometimes the most powerful improvement comes from stopping a behavior that undermines your team. By practicing “addition by subtraction,” leaders can create healthier teams simply by removing one recurring behavior.Topics explored in this episode:(00:00:00) The Idea Of Leadership SubtractionPatrick Lencioni introduces the concept that leaders can improve by stopping behaviors rather than constantly adding new practices.The hosts frame the discussion around the Lenten tradition of giving something up and apply that idea to leadership.(00:02:11) Personal Leadership Habits That Get In The WayPatrick reflects on his tendency to interrupt others and explains how impatience and quick thinking contribute to that habit.Cody shares his own leadership tendency to use humor in uncomfortable situations and how that can sometimes derail important conversations.(00:07:56) Examples Of Leaders Who Needed To Stop A BehaviorPatrick shares stories of leaders who weakened their credibility by constantly talking about themselves or seeking affirmation.The conversation highlights how repeated behaviors can slowly erode trust within a team.(00:09:55) When Leaders Shut Down Or Ignore ConflictPatrick and Cody discuss leaders who shut down disagreements or avoid addressing uncomfortable moments during meetings.They explain how ignoring conflict or difficult conversations can damage team health and prevent productive debate.This episode of At The Table with Patrick Lencioni is brought to you by The Table Group: https://www.tablegroup.com.
