What if your next client already feels like they know you—before you've ever spoken a word? This week on Leveraging Thought Leadership, Peter talks with Jim Schleckser, founder of The CEO Project, a peer advisory group for high-performing CEOs. Jim shares insights from advising over 125 CEOs across 40 states, leading organizations with revenues from $25 million to over $2 billion. His unique perspective offers a window into how top leaders are using thought leadership as both consumers and creators. We dig into why CEOs crave curated content that helps them grow—and why books and podcasts still dominate their learning habits. Jim explains how the right idea, delivered through the right channel, can build trust and drive decisions long before the first handshake. We explore how CEOs and their teams are becoming more intentional about content creation—not for vanity metrics, but to attract the right clients, partners, and talent. Jim also unpacks the shifting role of AI in content development. As more companies turn to AI for marketing output, he challenges us to think deeper: What's your human layer of insight that the algorithms can't replicate? This episode is packed with practical takeaways for CEOs, content creators, and thought leaders who want to build meaningful influence, not just volume. Three Key Takeaways: • Quality Over Quantity in Thought Leadership CEOs aren't looking for mass appeal—they want relevant insights from trusted sources. Thought leadership that resonates with a niche but high-value audience can drive business results far more effectively than chasing viral reach. • Books and Podcasts Still Matter Despite the flood of digital content, CEOs continue to prioritize books and podcasts as their go-to learning tools. These formats allow for deeper engagement and often serve as catalysts for future business relationships. • AI Is a Tool, Not a Strategy While AI can assist in generating content, it can't replace the value of human insight. Leaders must use AI thoughtfully—adding expertise and perspective—to ensure their thought leadership remains authentic and impactful. If you found Jim Schleckser's insights on high-impact, CEO-focused thought leadership valuable, you'll want to check out Episode 498 with Will Milano. Will shares how organizations can turn their senior leaders and subject-matter experts into trusted voices of authority—without relying solely on the CEO. Together, these episodes explore how to scale thought leadership, deepen trust, and focus on quality over quantity. Don't miss it!

I'm Josh Kopel, a Michelin-awarded restaurateur and the creator of the Restaurant Scaling System. I've spent decades in the industry, building, scaling, and coaching restaurants to become more profitable and sustainable. On this show, I cut through the noise to give you real, actionable strategies that help independent restaurant owners run smarter, more successful businesses.In this episode, I'm tackling one of the biggest traps restaurant owners fall into—the idea that more locations automatically mean more profit. The truth? Scaling too soon can sink your business faster than a slow Tuesday night. I'll break down how to know if you're actually ready to expand, why strong leadership is non-negotiable, and how to squeeze every ounce of profit from your existing operation before even thinking about a second location. Plus, I'm sharing smart growth strategies—like diversifying revenue streams and testing new concepts—that can set you up for long-term success without unnecessary risk. Let's get into it.Takeaways80% of restaurants barely break even.You don't need more restaurants, you need better restaurants.Bad expansion kills more restaurants than bad food.More seats does not equal more money.Before you scale outward, scale upward.Audit your first location.Find your revenue leaks.Test first with pop-ups or ghost kitchens.Smart growth builds empires.Expand when you're ready, not just because you're impatient.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Restaurant Profitability Challenges02:08 Understanding When to Expand Your Restaurant05:55 Strategies for Smart Growth and ExpansionIf you've got a marketing or profitability related question for me, email me directly at josh@joshkopel.com and include Office Hours in the subject line.

Innovation and disruption aren't just for organizations. According to Whitney Johnson, we can find new possibilities for personal and professional growth — by disrupting ourselves.As an executive coach, author, and podcaster, Johnson teaches people how to level up their lives and careers through the power of personal disruption. Her book, Disrupt Yourself: Putting the Power of Disruptive Innovation to Work, reveals how shaking things up enables us to break free of the constraints we might not even know we're imposing on ourselves. “Personal disruption [is] a process of deliberate self-innovation; a decision to step back from who you are to slingshot into who you can be,” she explains.In this Think Fast, Talk Smart episode with host Matt Abrahams, Johnson offers strategies for tailoring messages to different audiences, reveals the key ingredients for successful communication, and explains how disrupting yourself can open new doors and help you reach your full potential.Episode Reference Links:Whitney Johnson: Website Whitney's Books: Website Whitney's Podcast: Disrupt Yourself Podcast Lindsay McMahon's Podcast: All Ears English Podcast Clayton Christensen's Book: The Innovator's DilemmaEp.118 Maximizing You Personal Brand: Communicating Who You Are to Help Get What You Want YouTube / Website Ep.138 Speak Your Truth: Why Authenticity Leads to Better Communication YouTube / WebsiteConnect:Email Questions & Feedback >>> thinkfast@stanford.eduEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn Page, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInStanford GSB >>> LinkedIn & TwitterChapters:(00:00:00) IntroductionHost Matt Abrahams introduces Whitney Johnson, keynote speaker and executive coach.(00:01:25) The Concept of DisruptionThe definition of disruption, and the benefits of personal disruption and self-innovation.(00:02:48) Identifying and Leveraging Distinctive StrengthsHow to identify distinctive strengths through observing frustrations, listening to compliments, and valuing inherent skills.(00:06:11) The S Curve of LearningThe S curve model, its stages, and how it relates to personal and organizational growth.(00:11:56) Tenacity and Tolerance in Personal DisruptionThe importance of tenacity, and the ability to tolerate ambiguity and failure during the disruptive process.(00:13:35) Encouraging Disruptive Ideas in OrganizationsStrategies for leaders to foster a culture that encourages disruptive ideas and constructive dialogue within teams.(00:17:00) The Final Three QuestionsWhitney shares how she tailors her communication for varying audiences, a communicator she admires, and her recipe for successful communication.(00:22:30) Conclusion See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
