Podcasts about Letting Go

The holidays are rife for loneliness and feeling down about your situation. So we wanted to send you a little bolstering, and some reasons to hang in there...plus a bit of time travel. This episode comes from the Not For Everyone archives, it originally aired on April 21, 2023 and the original recording took place a few hours before Caroline met Justin for the very first time. Jess and Caroline unpack the fear of abandonment, and the exhausting belief that your worth is tied to how well you perform socially. Caroline opens up about a messy breakup, taking a break from dating, and nervously heading into her first date with Justin that night. Jess meets her there with her own reckoning around feeling lovable without being likable. Along the way: therapists asking the rudest question imaginable (“what if you didn't have to do anything?”), petty beef with cultured food trends, a question for Bugs Bunny, and a reality-TV podcast gripe. Equal parts vulnerable, unhinged, and experimental—this one has the full spectrum.This episode also includes a lot of important commentary on cottage cheese. You're welcome.

In this special Mindfulness in Action episode, I'm sharing a very personal reflection from the trails of Squamish, BC where muddy puddles, forest quiet, and time on the bike create space for clarity.For the first time in over 22 years, I've made the decision to step away from competitive bike racing. Not because I can't race, but because my life, priorities, and sense of fulfillment have shifted.In this off-the-cuff, honest conversation, I reflect on what it means to let go of an identity you've held for decades, how task-focused mindfulness has shaped my thinking, and why courage sometimes looks like choosing less instead of more.This episode isn't just about sport. It's about transitions, motivation, family, mattering, and learning to listen to yourself when something inside is asking for change.If you're navigating a transition, feeling stretched thin, or questioning what really matters in this next season of your life, I hope this episode helps you slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what's true for you.Top 5 TakeawaysMindfulness isn't passive, it's active presence. Being fully engaged in the task at hand (not self-evaluation) can unlock clarity and joy.Identity transitions are uncomfortable, but necessary. Letting go of who you've been creates space for who you're becoming.Motivation changes with life seasons. What once fueled you may no longer fit, and that's not failure.Doing less can be a powerful choice. Fulfillment doesn't always come from pushing harder or doing more.Reflection reveals values. Emotions like envy, fatigue, or resistance often point toward what truly matters.Other Mindfulness in Action Episodes:- Slowing Down the Rush- How to Regulate Your Emotions for Resilience and Performance- How to Combat Self-Criticism--------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.

Welcome to The Smiling Homeschooler Podcast! This week we're taking a short break to celebrate the New Year. But don't worry—we've got a fantastic episode from our archives for you! Today we're talking about the pressure so many homeschooling moms feel to teach it all… to hit every subject… and to start earlier and earlier with their kids. Our hope is to take some of that pressure off and remind you that it's okay to let a few things slide. Before we get started, we want to thank Teaching Textbooks for making The Smiling Homeschooler possible. They're an amazing math curriculum, and we encourage you to check them out at teachingtextbooks.com. We'd also like to thank Samaritan Ministries—a community of Christians who help one another with medical bills. They make it possible for families to take steps of faith, whether that's a career change, ministry opportunity, or bringing mom home. You can learn more and support us through this link https://hubs.ly/Q03VZKNS0.

In this special community episode of the Wonbyone Podcast, Obi breaks down one of the most misunderstood parts of basketball and life: roles. From youth hoops to the overseas pro game, he explains why chasing flashy skills and personal validation often holds players back, and how growth starts with mastering what's required in the present.Drawing from his own journey, Obi shares why accepting your role, taming your ego, and aligning with your coach can extend careers and open doors, while ignoring those realities can quietly shut them. This episode is a must-listen for athletes, parents, and anyone trying to succeed within a team environment.

As another year closes, we're taking a gentler approach to New Year's thinking. In this special episode, Ben is joined by familiar voices from across the year and a hint of who's to come in 2026 - as he sits down with clinicians, creators, advocates and friends of The Hidden 20% to talk about goals, not resolutions.From Dr Renata Fialho to Shahroo Izadi, Céin McGillicuddy, Dr Alison Lennox, Dr Josephine Neale and Tony Lloyd, each guest reflects on what they're carrying forward into 2026 and what they're intentionally leaving behind.Together, we unpack why “resolutions” can feel loaded, deficit-focused and unrealistic for neurodivergent brains, and why goals rooted in compassion, flexibility and self-trust tend to work better.This is a calm, grounding end-of-year listen - focused less on fixing yourself, and more on meeting yourself where you are.From all of us at The Hidden 20%, thank you for your support this year - we'll see you in 2026.

"Letting Go and Taking Hold" - Philippians 3:13-14Ron Bower, Senior PastorOriginal Date: 12/28/2025

God doesn't give you a new year to repeat old cycles. He gives it to walk differently.Psalm 90:12We are (LIVE) on our website's [Morning Devo] podcast now!:::: sELAH rADIO Network https://soulwinnerz.org ::::::::: https://live.soulwinnerz.org and we want to see who you are by simply clicking here https://chat.restream.io/fb :::::Join the Adult Bible Study: https://soulwinnerz.org/adultBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-blaze-bible-study--525630/support.

We've had rough years before—but 2025? This one hit different.  If you've been listening to us for the last six years, you know we're no strangers to hard conversations. DEI. Wellbeing. Systems that don't work the way they should. And this year pushed all of that—from the global to the deeply personal. So what did we learn when everything felt heavier than usual? Let's talk about the biggest lessons this year forced us to learn - what we're leaving behind in 2025, and what we are carrying forward, with purpose, into 2026.   What to listen for: Mindsets that we're embracing: There are two things you can control, attitude and effort. Thank you, kids' basketball camp, for teaching us this one. It feels a lot more peaceful to identify and wear one identity at a time, and not feel guilty that you're not being anybody else in that moment. Even if you've got a trillion things on the go, if you need to be mom right now, be a rockstar mom; if you need to get a workout, be an amateur athlete.  Some strong truthbombs amidst laughter, including this: Nobody cares. You're giving other people's opinions far more power than they actually have.  Everybody's going through something. Tough doesn't look the same; have empathy.  What we're bringing into 2026: Relationships and empathy.  

Dr. Saumya Dave, psychiatrist, mental health advocate, and author of the new novel The Guilt Pill, joins me this week for a conversation about the emotional load so many mothers carry that can shape our choices, our identity, and even how we see ourselves as parents.   Together we explore:   - The surprising truth that guilt isn't always bad and how to recognize when it's actually trying to tell you something important. - How cultural expectations and "good girl" conditioning quietly shape the way mothers judge themselves, often without realizing it. - What happens when we try to shut off difficult emotions, and why numbing guilt can create more challenges than it solves. - Why Dr. Saumya chose fiction to explore the emotional undercurrents of motherhood and how storytelling reveals truths we rarely say out loud. - What kids learn from the way we relate to guilt and how parents can model a healthier, more grounded approach. - Small shifts that can loosen guilt's grip and help you reconnect with the messy, joyful moments right in front of you.   If you've ever felt weighed down by the pressure to be a "perfect" parent, struggled with the inner critic that tells you you're not doing enough, or simply want a deeper understanding of where mom guilt comes from and how to soften its impact, this episode will give you clarity, validation, and tools to support your emotional wellbeing.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

If you're doing everything “right” — eating well, moving your body — but still feel off, this episode is for you. We're talking about the weight you can't see: the mental, emotional, and environmental load you've been carrying… and how letting go makes room for clarity, peace, and a lighter 2026. No resolutions. No shame. Just truth, relief, and a new way forward.

Most men are not failing because they lack effort. They are failing because their system does not fit their life.As I sit down with Eric Bach, we break down why driven men starting in their late 30s stop seeing progress, despite doing all the right things on paper. Eric has coached elite athletes and now works with busy parents and business owners who want results without burning out. We talk about why execution beats complexity, how real progress comes from nailing the basics consistently, smarter training for longevity, simplifying nutrition with the A.D.E. framework, and why sleep is one of the most overlooked performance tools of our health. This conversation is about building a training system that you can actually sustain.Stop spinning your wheels and start training in a way that supports your work, family, and long-term health — Tune in now.—--------------------Timestamp:00:00 – Episode Preview01:02 – Podcast Introduction01:32 – Eric Bach's Background02:48 – Coaching Busy Professionals04:03 – Training Principles vs Methods05:43 – Training as You Get Older07:12 – Coaching Experience Matters09:41 – Matching Training to Life11:20 – Stress and Recovery Balance13:11 – The A.D.E.

As another year comes to a close, we're reminded of how little control we truly have over the future—and how much peace we find when we stop trying to carry it ourselves. Rooted in Matthew 6:33, this episode invites us to step out of anxiety and into trust by choosing to seek God's Kingdom first.Reflecting on the past year and looking ahead to an uncertain future, this message explores what it means to release control, love God and others sacrificially, trust the Lord one step at a time, and let go of what's behind so we can press forward into what God has next. The future may be unknown, but the invitation remains the same: seek first the Kingdom and trust the King who is fully in control.Support the show

Raising resilient teens isn't about control, perfection, or fixing every problem — it's about letting go, setting healthy boundaries, and staying emotionally present when things get messy.In this episode, Jacquelynn Cotten sits down with parenting coach Randi Crawford to talk honestly about what parents of teens and tweens are facing today: emotional overwhelm, overparenting, pressure to perform, blended families, sports stress, and the fear of getting it wrong.Together, they break down how parents can stop reacting, start responding, and raise confident, emotionally capable teens without losing connection or burning themselves out.

Composer Geoff Knorr — known for his work on the Civilization series and other large-scale game soundtracks — joins us for a deep conversation about creativity, discipline, and what it really takes to build a life in music.We discuss learning to accept criticism, letting go of ideas that don't work, why good music can still be the wrong music, and why some composers grow while others stay stuck. Drawing from Geoff's experience composing for major games, teaching at the Peabody Institute, and collaborating with musicians across diverse musical traditions, the conversation explores humility, perspective, and long-term creative growth.The episode also touches on health, sustainability, and discipline — from staying physically active as a composer to recognizing that music is simply too hard to pursue unless you genuinely love it.GEOFF KNORR LINKS:Website: https://www.geoffknorr.com/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@KnorrMusicSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1OFCjpSAsyIOWWzIAYb3OI?si=_eoobKhuQTSmDIWa4DYmjgApple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/geoff-knorr/411130469Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/geoff.knorrFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Geoff-Knorr-Composer/174736382555080Markus Junnikkala is a Composer from Finland.https://www.markusjunnikkala.com/Support this podcast by becoming a member:https://markusjunnikkala.com/membership/Want me to answer your question?Ask it on social media:https://www.instagram.com/markusjunnikkala/https://www.facebook.com/markusjunnikkala/https://x.com/markusjunnikkalhttps://www.reddit.com/user/markusjunnikkala/https://www.linkedin.com/in/markusjunnikkala/Subscribing, sharing, and liking helps the podcast.TIMESTAMPS:(00:00:08) Introduction(00:02:16) Growing Up, Family, and Early Influences(00:08:32) Sports, Discipline, Health & Longevity as a Composer(00:13:19) Failure, Hard Work & Lessons From Sports(00:16:37) Subjectivity, Criticism & Facing Reality in Music(00:23:14) Letting Go of Music That Doesn't Work(00:27:19) Teaching, Mediocrity & Why Some Musicians Don't Improve(00:34:15) Game Music Reality: Serving the Vision (Beyond Earth)(00:38:19) Technology, Early MIDI & Audio Foundations(00:45:33) Collaboration, Culture & Working With Musicians(00:51:35) Childhood, Encouragement & Learning to Love Music(00:56:05) Classical Foundations, Bach & Musical Identity(01:01:04) Why Music Is Too Hard If You Don't Love It(01:05:11) Video Games, Direction & Choosing a Career Path(01:16:10) Studying Composition, Recording & Wearing Both Hats(01:30:10) Composing Process: Score, DAW & Sample Libraries(01:46:00) Improvisation, Structure & Non-Western Traditions(02:02:10) Trust, Sensitivity & Recording Real Musicians(02:18:40) Sound vs Notes: Where Music Actually Lives(02:36:00) Experience, Speed & Long-Term Creative Thinking(02:57:30) What Keeps You Going (Final Reflections)

One of the biggest causes of suffering in our lives is the fact that nothing lasts forever. It's not only true that all good things must come to an end, but all things must come to an end. In this episode, Thom reminds us that Nature has the final say on what is, and what no longer is relevant in the natural process of evolution. Rather than resisting Nature's timing, our suffering is reduced or eliminated if we embrace Nature's timing.Once again, Vedic meditators have a natural edge in putting this into practice. Listen to the full episode to explore the complete teaching, or watch it on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/99fcBENajAsEpisode Highlights00:45 Evolve03:58 You Are a Production06:03 A Universe That Wants a Story07:48 Constant Atomic Exchange11:26 Identifying Irrelevancy Through Vedic Meditation14:14 Constant Relevance Refreshment17:15 The Dangers of the Ever-Repeating Known20:19 Disruption and Relevance23:13 Letting Go of Rigid Attachment25:45 Contextualizing Pain30:34 Welcome to the Solution to All ProblemsUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

Is it possible to truly forgive and let go without bypassing the pain or condoning the behavior? What simple, body-based tools can we use to regulate our emotions and find peace in a chaotic world?   Join Dr. Adriana Popescu in another empowering episode of Kaleidoscope of Possibilities: Alternative Perspectives on Mental Health. In this episode, Dr. Adriana sits down with Sharon Laflamme, a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Yoga Teacher, and founder of Creating Serenity Now. Sharon shares her powerful personal journey of healing from childhood trauma and chronic health issues, revealing how she moved from merely surviving to thriving. Together, they dive deep into the mechanics of the nervous system, the importance of somatic awareness, and Sharon's unique approach to forgiveness as a path to ultimate freedom and self-love.   In this episode: Trauma and the Body: Understanding that trauma is not in the event itself, but in how it gets locked in the nervous system Somatic Experiencing: How this modality helps "complete" the fight-or-flight cycle and restore balance to the body The Empath's Journey: Navigating the world when you feel everyone else's emotions and learning to differentiate "mine" from “theirs" Polyvagal Theory Simplified: A look at the vagus nerve and practical ways to move out of "freeze" states into connection and safety The Art of Forgiveness: Why forgiveness is often misunderstood and how Sharon's course, "Making Friends with Forgiveness," reframes it as an act of self-liberation Gut-Brain Connection: Exploring the link between early trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and digestive health Practical Tools: Breathing techniques and simple exercises to self-regulate and create internal serenity now   Resources Mentioned: Sharon's Website: CreatingSerenityNow.com Online Course: MakingFriendsWithForgiveness.com Sharon's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/SharonLaflamme Book: The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk: https://www.amazon.com/Body-Keeps-Score-Healing-Trauma/dp/0143127748   About Sharon: Meet Sharon Laflamme.

Send us a textWhat if the plan you loved wasn't the path you needed? We share how a postponed church plant, a surprising phone call, and a three-word dream—invest, build, multiply—reshaped our next steps and clarified our mission to help people refocus on Jesus. The journey wasn't tidy. It meant saying yes when comfort said no, moving back when logic said stay, and trusting that surrender would unlock impact we couldn't manufacture.We walk through the nuts and bolts of the vision: why community groups are our engine for discipleship, how sermon-aligned studies create shared growth, and why we're committed to missions giving that stretches our faith. You'll hear a year-in-review snapshot—baptisms, youth momentum, prayer rhythms, block parties, benevolence meals, and partnerships—along with the conviction that our city should feel different because our church exists in it. We talk candidly about building leaders we might one day send and choosing spiritual maturity over passive attendance.Anchoring it all is a challenging look at Matthew 19 and the rich young ruler. The issue isn't money; it's the “this” we refuse to surrender. Everyone has one. We name ours and invite you to name yours, believing Jesus' promise: what's on the other side of surrender is better. As we pray toward expanded youth ministry, breaking ground on a new space, launching recovery support, and multiplying community groups, we keep returning to the same call—less of us, more of him, for the good of our neighbors.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs courage to let go, and leave a review with the one “this” you're ready to surrender. Your story might be the spark someone else needs.

In preparation for the new year it is time to look into your life and surroundings and find out what clutter whether in your mind or in your belongings you can let go. What in your life is working and how can you hang on to that and maybe focus on it to make it even better. Listen along as we discuss the Year of the Fire Horse and how you can make it better than 2025. Happy New Year from all of us at Equalign!

Are you ready to step into your best year ever? In this inspiring New Year's episode, we explore how to get clear on what you truly want to create and experience in the year ahead. We reflect upon 2025—what worked, what didn't, and what you'd choose differently—so you can consciously decide what to carry forward and what to lovingly release. We also talk about the power of keeping things simple, focusing on what you can do, and setting intentions that feel aligned rather than overwhelming. Plus, Moira shares her beloved Word of the Year process and invite you to access the accompanying workbook to support your clarity, intention-setting, and momentum as you step into the year ahead with confidence and purpose.Click on the link below to download your copy of The Word of the Year Workbook: https://moirahutchison.com/download/Your-Word-of-the-Year-Workbook.pdf Have you joined our Facebook Group yet?

My aim is to provide listeners with insights on how to transition from a state of anxiety to one of mental flexibility, allowing for greater peace and calm in our lives. The discussion begins by highlighting the rigidity that often accompanies anxiety, likening our anxious mindset to a tightly wound structure—brittle and prone to breaking under pressure.I explore the ways in which life changes, stress, and frustration contribute to our inflexible thinking, causing us to feel overwhelmed and perhaps on the verge of snapping. Recognizing this pattern is the first step towards transformation. I introduce six actionable strategies that can help us cultivate a more flexible mindset. Each strategy serves as a tool to counteract the tightness and rigidity we feel when anxiety takes over.The first strategy emphasizes the importance of awareness around physical tension in our bodies, particularly in areas such as the shoulders and jaw. I encourage listeners to check in with their physical state regularly, practicing intentional release of tight muscles to foster a sense of relaxation that communicates safety to the mind. The second point focuses on the power of the pause—taking a moment to breathe and create space before responding to stress. This allows us to break the habitual response cycle and choose a more mindful reaction.#AnxietyRelief #MentalHealthMatters #Mindfulness #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #GinaRyan #StressReduction #CopingSkills #InnerPeace #NervousSystemHealing #LetGo #MindfulLiving #OvercomingAnxiety #MentalWellness #SelfCare #EmotionalIntelligence #FloatingTechnique #RestAndDigest #HolisticHealing #StayCurious #FlexibleMind #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We talk about what integration actually means, why rushing into goals too quickly can create misalignment, and how this in-between space is ideal for reflecting on how you supported yourself this year.

Have you ever stopped to recognize how much strength it's taken to be the mom you are today? If you're parenting teens or standing on the edge of the empty nest, this season of motherhood can feel like a constant balancing act between holding on and letting go—of your kids, your role, and the version of yourself you used to be. In this episode, I'm not talking about resolutions or fixing yourself. I'm inviting you to pause and recognize the quiet, powerful growth that's already happened as you've navigated raising and preparing to launch your kids. I share my own journey of learning to release self-judgment, understand why we cope the way we do, and give myself credit for showing up—even when things felt messy or hard. If you've ever said to yourself, “I need to be better in the new year,” this episode will help you reconnect with your strength, honor your past selves, and step into this next chapter with more compassion, confidence, and awe.

EPISODE SUMMARY In this episode, Emily sits down with Todd Baratz—sex therapist and author of How to Love Someone Without Losing Your Mind—to challenge everything you think you know about relationships. Todd dismantles the fairy tale myth of "the one" and reveals why our obsession with diagnosing every difficult person as a narcissist is keeping us stuck. From exploring how oral sex can make or break your relationship to understanding why some people view emotional depth as "too much," this conversation reframes love as messy, complicated, and beautifully imperfect. T In this episode, you'll learn: • Your relationship "shoulds" are sabotaging you—every rule you've internalized about what partners should text, do, or provide creates unnecessary conflict and anxiety; letting go of these expectations (especially "the one" who fulfills all your needs) is the first step to realistic, sustainable love • Not everyone is a narcissist—our tendency to diagnose and label ourselves and others amplifies anxiety rather than solving problems; sometimes people are just incompatible, not disordered, and that's okay • You're not "too much," you just need the right match—if someone views your emotional depth and authenticity as intensity, it's because they lack the capacity to handle genuine connection; finding someone who can meet you where you need to be met is about compatibility, not fixing yourself • Sex is really about connection—when you're craving sex, you're often actually craving intimacy, vulnerability, touch, and being truly seen; understanding this deeper need helps address desire discrepancies and creates more fulfilling sexual experiences • Dating people who can't connect emotionally—approach them with compassion and curiosity, try to create space for vulnerability, but if they can't or won't open up, accept that they might not be your person and walk away without trying to force everyone to do the work you're doing More Dr. Emily:  • Shop With Emily!

Hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros challenge the common belief that self-improvement is about doing more. They examine why real personal development often requires letting go, not adding on. Through years of experience, disciplined consistency, and thousands of conversations with high performers, they explore how outdated habits, environments, and identities quietly sabotage decision-making and long-term growth.This conversation is for anyone serious about clarity, alignment, and building a life that actually moves forward instead of staying busy in place.

The use of logic, reason, and will is integral to spiritual growth. The body, heart, and mind are divine gifts meant to help consciousness experience life, but suffering arises when the mind becomes identified with its past experiences. Spiritual liberation involves recognizing our free will, practicing letting go in daily life, and gradually purifying the stored emotional residue that shapes our personal preferences and suffering. Through this process, consciousness begins to rise, ultimately merging with the divine, leading to complete oneness and inner transformation. © Sounds True Inc. Episodes: © 2025 Michael A. Singer.

Send us a textIn this quick-tip episode of the Private Practice Survival Guide, Brandon breaks down the real cost of Ego-Driven Leadership—and what it takes to replace “my way” management with Group-Oriented Leadership built on trust, shared accountability, and better decision-making. Using practical examples (including how a one-size-fits-all change can damage Client Experience), he explains how ego erodes morale, suppresses innovation, increases turnover, and fuels burnout. You'll learn actionable strategies to “check ego at the door,” including pausing before reacting, identifying triggers, asking for weekly feedback, using inclusive language (“we agreed”), modeling vulnerability, and aligning decisions to clear priorities like budget and satisfaction. He also shares a leadership reset invitation tied to the Growth Code Conference (January 28–31, 2026, Coral Gables, Florida), emphasizing that the best leaders don't need to be right—they create the conditions for the team to find what's right. Welcome to Private Practice Survival Guide Podcast hosted by Brandon Seigel!

Part 2 of 2: "Why Becoming Your Future Self Requires Letting Go | Dr. Benjamin Hardy" What if the hardest part of becoming your future self isn't discipline or clarity, but the willingness to let go of what once made you successful?. Episode Description Part 1 revealed why meaning comes before courage. Part 2 reveals the price of acting on that meaning. In this continuation, Dr. Benjamin Hardy takes the conversation out of the abstract and into lived reality. He dismantles one of the most seductive lies in personal growth: that you can create a radically different future without giving up the past that built your current life. Using the 80/20 principle, Dr. Hardy explains why most people remain trapped in "2x thinking", incremental improvement driven by familiarity, safety, and social approval. True 10x growth, he argues, is not additive. It is subtractive. It requires stripping away nearly everything that does not belong to the future you are committed to becoming.  Together, Dov and Ben explore why letting go feels like tearing off a limb, how family and loved ones unconsciously resist your transformation, and why honesty, not harmony, is the foundation of real growth. This episode is not motivational. It is clarifying. And for many listeners, it will be confronting. .

Jack Swift is a West Point graduate, former CEO of TIFIN and Liminal Collective, and co-founder of Pacific Current Group and Sangha. He now advises frontier AI ventures, including Vantage Discovery (sold to Shopify), Brightwave, and Grid Aero, and co-founded Sangha, a community for conscious leadership. In this episode, Jack explains why the biggest threat to your organization isn't outside pressure. It's your need to be right. He shows why old leadership habits—command and control, chasing quarterly targets, and relying only on past wins—no longer work. He offers a different approach built on deep listening, less ego, and faster instincts.

[41:19] And remember..."I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor." - Henry David Thoreau Quotable Quotes "Leaders make decisions and they look for and create alignment within an organization." "The need to be right is the biggest blind spot. Taking the position that I want to be right, I'm gonna burn capital to show the world that I'm right is a very risky way to go about your business." "I made a lot of mistakes. I screwed a lot of things up. Sometimes because I didn't know any better, sometimes because I let my ego make decisions, and sometimes because I was relying on old frameworks that just wouldn't work anymore." "Your go mind shouldn't always drive the car. Sometimes you need to put instinct in the driver's seat and let your brain be the passenger." "Let go of old frameworks. Don't think you know better. Work on self awareness, work on your personal growth edges. Better at you is better at what you do." "Listen with your whole body. Your body knows—that's your gut, your instinct, your intuition. The faster you can listen, receive, and act, the faster you'll be able to go." "Human beings are the only species that can imagine infinite future potentials and bring them into reality. That creative capability is uniquely human and incredibly special." Resources Mentioned The Leadership Podcast | theleadershippodcast.com Sponsored by | www.darley.com Rafti Advisors.
