What if the key to a meaningful life isn't doing more—but doing less, with intention? In this powerful conversation, Michael and Megan talk with Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks and Meditations for Mortals, about the myths of productivity, the illusion of control, and why accepting our finite nature might be the best thing we can do for our peace, purpose, and productivity.Memorable Quotes“It's the relaxation of now I can just do the things that matter the most… I can just sort of dive in because I'm no longer trying to make all my actions feel like they are part of some process of eventually getting to total domination of my time and perfect optimization.”“You are being confronted again with this ridiculous thing that it is to be a human—which is to be capable of imagining basically an infinite amount of possibilities and eventualities, but ultimately being a sort of finite material animal and having to choose only some of them.”“Almost everybody who is trying to sort of optimize themselves into absolute control, you know, they're not succeeding. Life is miserable and they're letting people down all over the place.”“There isn't any system or philosophy or approach or sports nutrition drink that is going to enable you to sort of win the battle with human limitation… Now, we figure out how to flourish in absolutely fantastic and wonderfully meaningful and interesting and lucrative ways within those limitations rather than running away from them.”“There's a way of going with the flow that is actually more constructive and productive as well as more peaceful and meaningful.”“I really found that just sort of expecting discomfort from things that matter to me—whether that is a piece of work or an aspect of relationships or parenting—just knowing that it's going to feel uncomfortable sometimes because it's bringing me to my edge and my limitations makes a huge, huge difference.”“A lot of our productivity is the result of anxiety. And I would like to live a productive life for other reasons.”Key TakeawaysRadical Acceptance is Key. Once you stop trying to win the battle with your human limitations, everything changes.Distraction is Avoidance in Disguise. Most often, we're dodging discomfort—and the way out lies in tolerating discomfort.Optimization is Not Salvation. We think we can problem-solve our lives, but tools and systems will always fall short. They're meant to augment, not make us infinite.Meaning is Here, Now. The moments that build a life don't happen  when everything is done—but in the doing itself.Resources4,000 Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver BurkemanMeditations for Mortals by Oliver BurkemanThe Imperfectionist (Newsletter)Watch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/571YmI5h_CsThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

What if being overlooked; dismissed as too slow or too average, was actually the foundation for becoming one of the greatest of all time?On today's episode, we sit down with Luc Robitaille; Hockey Hall of Famer, NHL's all-time leading left-wing scorer, Stanley Cup champion, and President of the LA Kings. Recorded live at the California Surf Club, Luc pulls back the curtain on the mindset that carried him from ninth-round afterthought to hockey immortality: the daily commitment to get a little better, the discipline to quiet corrosive self-talk, and the belief that being underestimated can be a gift.Luc's story is the stuff of legend. In this candid, emotionally intelligent conversation, we dig into self-talk, flow, and the small daily behaviors that compound into greatness—plus how to transition from athlete to executive without losing your edge (or your humanity).You'll learn:How to move from negative mind → positive mind → no mind (flow)The simple rituals Luc used to build consistency and confidenceWhy service to the team is the quickest path out of doubtHow elite organizations align inputs (not just talk about “winning”)What modern leadership looks like when you prioritize peopleIf you've ever been underestimated—or are leading people who are—this conversation will give you a grounded blueprint for turning doubt into durable confidence.Links & ResourcesSubscribe to our Youtube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!

In this episode of Paradigm Shifting Books, hosts Stephen and Britain Covey are joined by leadership expert Liz Wiseman, author of ‘Multipliers'. Together, they dive into the powerful principles that distinguish "multipliers", leaders who amplify the intelligence and abilities of others, from "diminishers," who, despite good intentions, unknowingly hold people back. Liz shares her research and experiences, revealing how leadership can either bring out brilliance or unintentionally stifle growth. This conversation highlights how these concepts can apply not only in the workplace but also in teams, families, and everyday life.Stephen and Britain reflect on how these insights have shaped their own approaches to leadership. They discuss the importance of seeing potential in others and creating environments where people feel empowered to contribute their best. Stephen points out that it's not about being the smartest leader, but about finding ways to help others shine, while Britain shares how creating space for both safety and challenge is key to unlocking peak performance. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to foster growth, collaboration, and leadership in all areas of life.What We Discuss[00:00] Introduction[01:23] The Power of Contributorship[04:10] Multipliers vs. Diminishers[13:35] Safety and Stretch: The Core of Leadership[20:10] The Importance of Viewing Genius in Others[22:36] Contribution over CompetitionNotable Quotes[06:34] "Sometimes really, really smart people don't make the best managers." – Liz Wiseman[24:59] "People want to come to work every day wanting to contribute everything that they have." – Liz Wiseman[15:37] "What these leaders do is they create an environment where people feel safe, but then they create stretch." – Liz Wiseman[24:20] "Multipliers believe people are smart, and there is a way they are smart.

Part of the heart and soul of what originated at Disney-MGM Studios in 1989 was The Magic of Disney Animation. For over a little more than 16 years, it was a place where guests could go to understand and for a time, even watch animation being created. To know the Florida animation studios and The Magic of Disney Animation attraction is to know the story of the last three decades of Disney animation in general. Disney animation is the greatest driver of what makes Disney, Disney. And now with the closure of Star Wars Launch Bay, it is being resurrected. Many guests complain how little of the original Disney-MGM Studios exist today, and yet, Imagineering answered to this by choosing to resurrect The Magic of Disney Animation. In a multi-part podcast series we will talk about this attraction, how it evolved, and what it is soon to become. In this podcast, we'll talk about what led to the development of this attraction, of what lay between it and the studio arches, and what this attraction was like when it first opened. ________________________________________________________ Disney Insights YouTube Page--Check it out and subscribe.

Want to be the leader people lean in to hear—without getting louder, longer, or “less you”? This conversation shows you how to turn your ideas into influence and how to say them. Today I'm joined by Dr. Laura Sicola—executive presence mentor, TEDx advisor, and author of Speaking to Influence: Mastering Your Leadership Voice. We dig into the moment that matters most: those first seven seconds and the next seven when you open your mouth. Laura unpacks the “authenticity myth,” shares her simple “digital mixing board” for tuning your delivery (without changing who you are), and explains why even the quietest voice can command a room. We also talk about pitch coaching for founders, crafting a TED-worthy talk, and how to make networking feel natural. If you're climbing to the C-suite, raising a round, or leading a mission-driven team, this is a masterclass in aligning what you say with how you say it so your credibility, clarity, and confidence are undeniable. Here are highlights: -7 + 7 Seconds Rule: First impressions land fast—and the next seven seconds (your first words) either confirm or rewrite them. Make those opening lines count. -The Authenticity Myth: Being “authentic” isn't being unfiltered. Leadership requires tact, intention, and alignment—not a louder version of you. -Your Digital Mixing Board: Don't flip an on/off switch—tweak levers like pace, volume, jargon, and intensity to fit the audience while staying you. -Quiet Can Command: Authority comes from congruence and presence, not decibels. Calm, focused delivery can move 200 people without raising your voice. -From Pitch to TED: Win investors (bet the jockey!) and craft a killer TED talk by challenging assumptions, telling real stories, and driving to one clear takeaway. About the guest: Dr. Laura Sicola is a leadership communication and influence expert based in Philadelphia, PA. She is the founder of Vocal Impact Productions and the author of Speaking to Influence: Mastering Your Leadership Voice. With over 20 years of experience, she helps executives, entrepreneurs, and rising leaders develop executive presence, master the art of influence, and align how they speak with what they want to achieve. A TEDx speaker and advisor, Laura has worked with leaders from Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and nonprofits worldwide, guiding them to communicate with clarity, confidence, and impact.

This episode is especially for business owners and consultants, but the themes will resonate with anyone navigating leadership in challenging times. No matter your role, the struggles we face are often more similar than different, and there's always something to learn from the stories of others. Recently, my business coaching clients and entrepreneurial colleagues have been sharing struggles that might feel familiar:  "What sold before is not selling now." "I am ready to make a pivot, but I'm feeling nervous and unsure about how to do so." "With the online space feeling loud and saturated, I'm feeling less confident in making myself more visible." "I need to grow my team, but I'm nervous about finding the right people and/or giving up control." "I'm struggling with boundaries and communication with my team." "I'm overwhelmed and exhausted by my business + the state of the world!" Over my 22 years as a business owner, the state of the world has forced me to reimagine (and sometimes rapidly pivot) my business, my offers, and my team multiple times. After a few moments (or days) of "WTF?! Why is this happening to me?!", I've always been able to find a path forward and often have found a stronger sense of purpose and drive because of this driving mantra: I know what I'm good at. I know I can create incredible outcomes for people. I have proven that I can be endlessly adaptable and resilient in my 49 years on this planet. This time is no different. LFG. In this episode, I'll share 3 steps you can take right now to address these struggles head-on. Because the world being extra loud and extra messy does not diminish the need for your work. In fact, it amplifies it. Interested in becoming a sponsor of the Shameless Mom Academy? Email our sales team at sales@adalystmedia.com.

How do you push back against the “overqualified” label in interviews when you're an experienced leader? The job search is daunting today, to say the least, and when you're going in with a decade or more of experience, it can be a real confidence-killer, too. Loren Greiff is the founder of PortfolioRocket. She directs her wealth of experience as a recruiter and advertiser to ending “career victimization by elevating, accelerating, and celebrating one executive over 40 at a time.” We talk about how those with significant career experience can reframe and reclaim the job search experience. Shift your job search mindset to rise in the recruitment ranks:How to transition from a passive to an active application approach;Honing in on and clearly explaining your unique unfair advantage;What interviewers actually mean when they say you're “overqualified”;What to stop doing before and during your interviews to really set yourself apart.Related Links:Episode 523, What Our 2025 Community Survey Reveals About Women, Work, and Burnout - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode523Work with Loren - https://www.portfoliorocket.com/Connect with Loren - https://www.linkedin.com/in/lorengreiff/Listen to the “Career Blast in a Half” podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/career-blast-in-a-half/id1670977528Download the “Unlock the Hidden Job Market” ebook - https://programs.portfoliorocket.com/unlock-websiteHIRED: a job search accelerator video course - https://www.bossedup.org/hired/Bossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Leadership longevity begins with the courage to say "No". In this episode, Dr. Walker explores the discipline of setting boundaries that preserve purpose, protect peace, and promote healthy leadership. With practical wisdom and powerful insight, he guides listeners to lead from a place of balance and clarity. This episode reminds every leader that true effectiveness comes from alignment, not overcommitment.

When it comes to leading a team, there's no such thing as too much information.Good leadership is about good communication. And for General Stanley McChrystal, that means creating a culture of free-flowing information: “The goal is to have everyone know everything all the time,” he says.McChrystal is a retired four-star general, former commander of US and international forces in Afghanistan, and a renowned leadership expert. In his experience building cohesive teams in complex environments, he's discovered that successful teams are built on a “shared consciousness [where] all have a common contextual understanding of what the situation is.” The key to creating that kind of culture, he says, is radical transparency — from leaders and subordinates alike. Whatever your position, “You are responsible for informing other people of things that they need to know,” he says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, McChrystal and host Matt Abrahams discuss how to build shared consciousness within teams, how to communicate across cultural divides, and how to lead with clarity, context, and character.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:General Stanley McChrystalGeneral McChrystal's Books: On Character / Team of Teams155.

Have you seen those leadership pyramids where the leader is at the top and all of the followers or employees are beneath the leader? That is the way much, if not all of corporate America is designed. It is also the way much of the Church is operated. It is also the way many marriages are run. What if that pyramid is not the way Jesus would run things? What if Jesus would turn that pyramid totally upside down? In this podcast I want to look at Jesus Style of leadership and the impact it can have on our lives.

We take that uncomfortable truth and turn it into a plan: how to build a small, Catholic mutual assistance group that actually holds under stress. No cosplay, no fantasy—just clear roles, shared skills, and a prayer life that anchors everything.We start by puncturing the lone-wolf myth and mapping the real constraints: unpredictable platform rules around firearms, DAs who change the stakes by zip code, and emergency services that prioritize institutions over families. From there we get practical. Family buy-in comes first and it's won with everyday examples—water when mains break, heat when the grid falters, first aid when minutes matter. Then we go find people where seriousness congregates: USPSA and IDPA matches, ham radio clubs, CERT and volunteer rescue, 4-H, homestead circles, and Knights of Columbus councils ready for renewal. Skills beat swagger—medics, electricians, welders, growers, and comms nerds are the backbone; rifles are the tip of a much larger spear.Leadership gets one chair. We outline a lean structure, redundancy across roles, simple comms plans, on-paper inventories, and an intel habit that shrinks the fog of war. We keep it legal and layered—cookouts before carbine days, no shortcuts, no stunts. Spiritual life isn't a bolt-on; we pray the Rosary, read, and keep Sundays, because order in the soul builds order in the street. On gear and training, we favor standardization, sustainable ammo budgets, and drills that sharpen judgment over ego.

With over 30 years of experience in TV, Jamie worked as a television host for major shows on networks such as HGTV and TLC, including "American Home" and "Designing Spaces." He also launched his own classic car TV show, "Tail Fins and Chrome," and has depth in performing arts with stand-up comedy experience in LA. Currently, Jamie is a car salesman at Reed's Nissan near Orlando, Florida. His versatile background in communication and entertainment enriches his interactions and strategies in the automotive industry.   Mastering Auto Sales: Communication, Strategy, and Service Drive Success Key Takeaways: Effective communication is fundamental to success in automotive sales, requiring a blend of personality, listening, and adaptability. Viewing car sales as an entrepreneurial venture can significantly boost success rates among car salespeople. The often-overlooked service drive represents a goldmine of potential car sales, particularly through strategic customer interactions. In the realm of automotive sales, the journey from modest beginnings to achieving the title of a "Millionaire Car Salesman" requires more than just selling cars—it demands mastering the art of communication, cultivating entrepreneurial spirit, and harnessing untapped dealer resources. With insights shared in the Millionaire Car Salesman podcast, hosted by Sean V. Bradley, we can dissect the strategic mindset and actions that can transform traditional sales approaches into monumental career success. Below, we'll explore the critical facets that underpin this transformation, drawing from the experiences of seasoned professionals in the industry. The Power of Communication in Automotive Sales In any industry, the ability to communicate effectively is an invaluable tool. In automotive sales, it's not just about talking—it's about creating an engaging dialogue that fosters trust and understanding between salesperson and customer. As articulated by Jamie Jacobs, a seasoned automotive professional, communication is key to connecting with potential clients: “Listen, you can't sell somebody something unless you know what they want.” The value of communication extends beyond sheer verbal interaction; it involves reading the customer's needs, aspirations, and reservations. Jacobs emphasizes the importance of being a "listener," pointing out that selling is not about bombarding prospects with information but rather uncovering their needs through thoughtful questions and active engagement. This approach aligns with Dr. Covey's principle from the "7 Habits of Highly Effective People"—seeking first to understand, then to be understood. To thrive in this sector, one must hone their communication skills as if practicing a craft, ensuring every interaction leaves a lasting impression on clients. Moreover, mastering communication in sales settings isn't just about words. It's also about utilizing tools that enhance messages, such as analogies, stories, and humor. Jacobs's diverse background in television and stand-up comedy has equipped him with a unique storytelling ability, enabling him to weave narratives that resonate with customers on a personal level. This strategy not only aids in retention but strengthens the relationship between the salesperson and customer. Embracing an Entrepreneurial Mindset Many sales professionals mistakenly view automotive sales as merely a job. As Sean V. Bradley highlights, the path to true success in car sales lies in treating it as an entrepreneurial venture. “The strategy that works is treating car sales like it's your own business. Car sales is like owning your own business,” Bradley reiterates. This mindset empowers salespeople to innovate, strategize, and personalize their approaches to selling. To achieve financial independence, key performers like Cody Carter exemplify the benefits of seeing oneself as the owner of their sales destiny. With a structured business plan, Carter operates not as an employee but akin to a dealer principal, handling marketing, personal branding, financial planning, and even employing staff. This proactive stance allows Carter to transcend traditional sales barriers, leveraging tools like CRM systems and community outreach to expand his network and client base. The entrepreneurial approach prescribed by Bradley entails more than just product knowledge or sales tactics; it's about creating a business blueprint that encompasses everything from customer service strategy to personal marketing campaigns. Sales professionals can accelerate their growth trajectory by adopting this posture, investing in self-development, and broadening their business savvy. Unlocking the Potential of Service Drive Sales An often underestimated avenue for generating sales is the dealership service drive. Jamie Jacobs, self-proclaimed "service lounge lizard," harnesses this rarely tapped resource to cultivate leads and close deals. The service department, bustling with customers who are already brand-aligned, becomes a fertile ground for nurturing potential sales opportunities. Jacobs shares his strategic process: arriving early, engaging customers with genuine curiosity, and turning anticipated repair costs into an opening for new vehicle sales. "Hey, I just talked to service, your service advisor, and you're looking at almost, probably $1,800 maybe to fix everything. I said, are you interested in perhaps trading it in with us?" Jacobs articulates this pivot approach, positioning a new car purchase as a cost-effective alternative to costly repairs. The National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) corroborates the efficacy of this method, revealing that customers who frequent service departments are significantly more likely to purchase vehicles from that dealership. Jacobs's initiative is illustrative of how proactive interaction within the service drive can transform casual conversations into lucrative sales. For salespeople, recognizing the potential of service-ups is crucial; it signifies a shift from passive order-taking to active relationship-building. The success witnessed in the service department underscores a broader industry trend: the bold thrive, while the complacent stagnate. By recognizing the service drive as a pipeline for potential deals, dealerships can realize enhanced customer loyalty and increased profit margins through targeted engagement and strategic upselling. Overall, the journey to mastering automotive sales demands more than conventional tactics—it's a fusion of the art of communication, entrepreneurial spirit, and strategic resourcefulness. This multilayered approach not only deepens customer connections but cements a salesperson's reputation and success within the industry. By channeling the lessons shared by Jamie Jacobs and Sean V. Bradley, sales personnel can navigate the transformative path toward becoming true leaders in the automotive sales sector.   Resources + Our Proud Sponsors: ➼ The Millionaire Car Salesman Facebook Group: Join the #1 Mastermind Group in the Automotive Industry with over 29,000 members worldwide.

From Bomb Blast to Abundance: A Story of Grit and Growth   “Complacency Kills”: Aaron Hale on Grit, Humor, and the Discipline of Doing Hard Things   Most of us wait for confidence before we act. Aaron Hale lost his sight in service—and later his hearing—then chose to act anyway. He rebuilt a meaningful life with courage, craft, and a lot of humor. In this episode, we unpack the mindset that turns struggle into service and purpose into action.   Key Insights: Ban the word “can't”. When you say “can't,” you shut off innovation and potential. Leadership is given before you feel ready. Aaron was thrust into responsibility; growth followed action. Reframe: “Why is this happening for me?”. This shift unlocked resourcefulness after the blast and during recovery. Purpose can be a small “p.”. Thanksgiving fudge became a business, service, and momentum. Abundance flows through you. Cut the bottom out of the cup and let it pour to others; fulfillment follows. Do something uncomfortable daily. Five-minute rule: show up, then expand. Habits > hype. Complacency kills; growth requires motion. You're either green and growing or brown and dying.   Money Learning: Aaron's story proves that wealth isn't just financial—it's also resilience, resourcefulness, and the ability to create opportunity from adversity. The same mindset that pushed him to complete an ultra-marathon and launch businesses can help anyone build sustainable financial freedom: start small, be consistent, and keep growing even when it's uncomfortable.   Key Takeaway: Trade excuses for experiments. Start with the smallest hard thing, serve someone with it, and let momentum carry you.   About Aaron Hale: Aaron Hale is a US Army EOD veteran, real estate investor, entrepreneur, podcaster, and ultra-endurance athlete. After a tragic injury overseas took his eyesight and later meningitis stole his hearing, Aaron hit rock bottom. Instead of staying there, he rebuilt his life as a husband, father, real estate investor, successful entrepreneur, speaker, and top-rated podcast host. He even became the first blind and deaf person to complete the Badwater 135 ultra marathon—one of the world's toughest races. His mission is clear: to inspire others to make small, positive habit shifts that unlock the success already within their reach.   Links: Web: https://pointofimpactpod.com/ Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/point-of-impact-with-aaron-hale/id1681213789 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@pointofimpactpodcast  Link tree: https://linktr.ee/aaronhalepointofimpact   Fb:  https://www.facebook.com/aclayhale   If this helped you rethink what's possible, share this episode with one person who needs a nudge to start—and subscribe for more conversations on inner/outer mastery.   Point Of Impact With Aaron Hale- The Reason Why Most Entrepreneurs Stay Broke With Rocky Lalvani: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86vNv4V1I5k   #RicherSoul #Resilience #MindsetShift #OvercomeAdversity #PurposeDriven #AbundanceMindset #LeadershipLessons #DoHardThings #PersonalGrowth #InspirationDaily   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

Welcome to a very special episode and wisdom mini-series. This four-part series originates from an archive of rare 2004 recordings of wisdom conversations with my mentor, John Wells Jr.  In the truest sense this batch of wisdom has been two decades in the making. Sadly, John passed away in early February 2005, after battling cancer. Those conversations and recordings served as a pre-cursor, perhaps even a prequel to this podcast which launched 15 years later in 2019. The Art of Visualization In Part Two of our our mini-series, John tells one of his favorite stories. It's the story of the world's most famous sculptor, Michelangelo, working to craft the statue of David. This story is a wisdom lesson illustrating the incredible power of belief guided by the art of visualization. When John shared this story with me, it inspired me to take my marketing consulting firm, once a dream, to a greater level of reality. He challenged me to envision the greatest form my business and my life could attain. What might John's rousing story inspire in you today? More About Our Wise Guest - John Wells, Jr. John was one of the most effective and influential mentors in my lifetime. He taught, led and influenced me, opening my eyes and expanding my thinking on those things that truly matter. I was deeply blessed to know him. John was a dedicated retail veteran and community leader who co-founded Wells Home Furnishings after many years working at R.H. Kyle Furniture Co. Known for his entrepreneurial spirit, he led his business to award-winning success and earned induction into the National Wholesale Furniture Association Hall of Fame. Beyond his career, Wells was deeply involved in civic and youth service organizations in Charleston, including the Boys Scouts, YMCA and United Way, among others, reflecting his commitment to community betterment. His leadership extended to serving as past president of the National Wholesale Furniture Association, where he influenced industry standards and fostered professional growth. Locally, John was known as an effective, tireless leader and chairperson of several charity fundraising drives. In 2000, John was honored with the prestigious Ernst Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. Though he never sought the spotlight, one day the President of the United States, George W. Bush, stood in Charleston and honored John Wells for his service. His legacy is marked by his dedication to his family, his profession and his community, leaving a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.

Found a great reminder Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard) where this thought was shared: “The quickest way to succeed is to start now and figure it out as you go. You can't learn how to drive in a parked car.” So many thoughts came to mind when I saw this. I think it's easy to imagine sitting in a parked car, sitting on a bike, on a skateboard, a motor cycle, etc., and it's not going anywhere. Or maybe it's not even running or turned on. When it comes to acting on ideas or projects, starting to move forward is a good thing. Finding out new information or getting help along the way instead of being too afraid to even put the car in drive. I've done too much sitting in a parked car at times or maybe even too afraid of unlocking the car and getting in.  What about you? Anything you are hesitating about to put your car in drive? Or peddle your bike? Or simply taking a step forward  to start going in the direction you want to go in?  Yea… me too.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Dr. Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic is the Author of Don't Be Yourself: Why Authenticity Is Overrated (and What to Do Instead).

He explains why showing up as your “whole self” can backfire, and why striving to bring your best self is a more powerful approach. Along the way, Tomas connects these ideas to his broader research on technology, AI, and the future of work.LinksWebsite: https://www.drtomas.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drtomaschamorro/Book: https://www.amazon.com/Dont-Be-Yourself-Authenticity-Overrated/dp/1647829836HBR Article: https://hbr.org/2025/07/why-leaders-should-bring-their-best-self-not-their-whole-self-to-work

In this chapter, we're able to see defining characteristics of Spirit-led leadership versus a leadership of the natural man - and how it makes all the difference. 

Tarina gives Nic a new nickname, “Wreck it Mouth.” And Nic congratulates Tarina on saving $2.50 on her “$9.00” coffee shop espresso drinks.In this episode, Nic and Tarina lead a conversation on what it takes to be a great leader.Their discussion can be summed up in a simple phrase: “Own it.” Among the attributes and activities of great leaders, here are a few they talk about:A leader protects his peopleA leader walks into danger firstA leader leads with empathyA leader is about influence not authorityA leader lives with the consequences of their decisionsAs Nic observes, the construction industry needs good leaders.
