In today's episode, I'm joined by Josh Patten, a seasoned leader with a diverse background, including a long tenure at Aetna and a deep experience in crisis leadership. We dive into the tension that many leaders face—the difference between leading authentically and being influenced by external expectations. Josh shares his struggles with leadership, the pressure to perform, and how he's navigating the gap between his core values and the demands of his role.The Tension of LeadershipJosh opens up about the struggles of leadership, particularly in high-pressure situations like layoffs and turnarounds. As someone who's often been in a crisis leadership role, Josh reflects on how he's consistently been able to lead others, but in doing so, he has lost track of leading himself. His candidness about feeling disconnected from his values provides a real, relatable moment for anyone in a leadership role who's ever felt the weight of leading others at the cost of themselves.The Disconnect Between Who We Are and What We DoJosh talks about the disconnect he feels between his core self—someone who thrives in vision, creativity, and inspiration—and the daily demands of his leadership position. Even though Josh is where he wanted to be five years ago, he finds himself exhausted and unfulfilled because of the gap between who he is and what he does every day. This reflects a struggle that many leaders face—being stuck in a position where they're thriving externally but feeling drained and unfulfilled internally.Struggling with the Need for MoreEven though Josh acknowledges the successes he's achieved, he constantly wrestles with the idea of wanting more. More impact. More growth. More engagement. He talks about the tension between feeling content with what he has and recognizing there is more he could do. This conflict of always striving for more while trying to appreciate the present moment is something that many leaders struggle with.Leadership and Personal GrowthJosh shares an important lesson: leadership isn't just about managing systems and teams—it's about knowing who you are and where you want to go. Being clear on your values and communicating those values to your team is essential for authentic leadership. Josh's personal story illustrates how his self-awareness and emotional intelligence have guided his journey, but also how challenging it can be to lead from a place of authenticity when there's external pressure to conform.The Struggle to Stay True to YourselfAs Josh reflects on the personal and professional tensions in his life, he shares that part of his struggle comes from wanting to be both a high-energy visionary and a calm, centred leader. This duality often leaves him feeling inadequate, as he tries to fit himself into roles that he believes others need him to fill. However, Josh ultimately realises that the key to overcoming this tension is not trying to change who he is, but to embrace his true self and lead authentically, even when it feels uncomfortable.The Importance of Healthy ConflictThroughout the conversation, Josh emphasises the importance of healthy conflict and being willing to rock the boat. He shares that his most effective leadership moments come when he leans into his natural ability to challenge the status quo. However, he also realises that, in corporate settings, this kind of leadership is often misunderstood as combative. The key takeaway here is that healthy conflict, when done with clarity and respect, can drive clarity and success within a team.Leading from Your Own ValuesIn the end, Josh and I reflect on how the best leaders are those who know their own values and are unafraid to lead from that place of authenticity. Josh's journey serves as a reminder that leaders need to focus not just on their external accomplishments, but also on how they show up authentically, making decisions aligned with their core values. Leadership isn't about being someone else—it's about owning who you are and leading others to do the same.Challenge for LeadersJosh's story is a powerful reminder for leaders to ask themselves: Am I leading authentically, or am I trying to fit into someone else's mould of what leadership should look like? Leaders must lean into their own strengths and values and trust that doing so will help create the type of leadership that attracts the right people and creates lasting impact.Resources Mentioned:Follow Josh on Instagram: @JoshPattenCoachJoin my free Leadership Training: Join me for a leadership session this month.

We talked about: what it looks like to live near your friends, how parenting could look different, what happens when friends make commitments, when other people don't recognize those commitments, and whether secular folks should borrow a few ideas from monks.Join us and—if you haven't already—go read the book!About Our GuestRhaina Cohen is an award-winning editor for the NPR documentary podcast Embedded and the author of the national bestseller, The Other Significant Others: Reimagining Life with Friendship at the Center, which Trevor Noah described as "my new Bible."

We're chatting with Nicole Pitt, the passionate owner of Flower Hill Farm, and a popular YouTube creator, as she shares her journey in the world of flower farming. Nicole's story is all about planting roots, both literally and figuratively, as she returned to her childhood home in 2018 and transformed it into a thriving farm full of flowers. Some of the topics we discussed: Perennials as a Foundation:  
Nicole emphasizes that perennials, though slower to establish, are long-term investments that form the backbone of the farm. Animal Control Is Essential:
  Research the best animal control methods for your area. Nicole used fencing, poles, and covers, but every farm's needs are different. Retail Space for Community Connection:  
Creating a retail space helped Nicole connect with her community while keeping her private/family space separate. Revitalizing a Nursery:
  Nicole brought new life to the nursery — not just as a business, but as a way to give back to her community and offer another revenue stream for the town. Be the Face of Your Business:
  Show up as yourself. Vulnerability makes you relatable and helps build trust with your audience or customers. Take Lots of Photos:
  Document your journey from different angles — both for storytelling and content creation. Stay True to Yourself:
  Even if your close circle doesn't fully understand your path, it doesn't mean they don't support you. Trust your vision and keep going.

This week I'm sitting down with Joy Allen-Altimare, the Chief Marketing Officer at Saucony. Such an interesting time to have this conversation with everything that's going on both for the brand as they really are in this fun-to-watch reinvigoration phase, as well as what's going on here in the U.S. with the tariffs. Joy talks to me about how being a swimmer growing up in Chattanooga really shaped a big part of her mindset and empowered her to think differently and progressively as a leader. We talk about what it looks like for her to lift up other women both in and out of the office, and what we can expect from Saucony as a brand as we look ahead into the rest of 2025 and 2026. Plus: She also shares her takeaways on the evolution of sports style, and why it's important to have your own board of directors.SOCIAL⁠@joyaltimare⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@emilyabbate⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@hurdlepodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠OFFERSLagoon Sleep | Head on over to LagoonSleep.com/Hurdle and use code “HURDLE” at checkout for 15% offPILLAR | Head to PillarPerformance.shop, or for North American customers, head to TheFeed.com and use the code HURDLE for 15% off your first purchase.JOIN: ⁠⁠⁠The Daily Hurdle IG Channel⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Weekly Hurdle Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ASK ME A QUESTION: Email hello@hurdle.us to ask me a question to be answered in an upcoming episode!

Tina Bakehouse is living proof that even the best teachers are always learning. As an intuitive communication coach, she's built a reputation for helping others communicate with confidence and authenticity. But as she shares in this conversation, her early days in business were filled with valuable lessons—especially about getting clear on her offers. Like many of us, Tina learned that trying to be everything to everyone only leads to confusion. It's a little like showing up at a potluck with five half-baked dishes—your guests won't know where to start, and chances are, nothing gets devoured. Here are some key insights from Tina's journey: The Power of One Clear Offer: When Tina launched her first five-day workshop, she tried selling both group and individual coaching simultaneously—at the same price. The result? Mixed signals and fewer sales. Her big takeaway? Pick one lane, get crystal clear on your ask, and make it easy for people to say yes. Align Offers to the Audience and Platform: Tina now tailors her approach depending on the audience—whether it's small business owners, corporate teams, or C-suite executives. It's about tuning in and delivering what feels right for the moment. Seasonal Strategy: Business has rhythms, just like nature. Tina takes a softer approach in the summer, reserving her high-energy keynotes and workshops for colder months. That shift keeps her inspired and energized throughout the year. Stay True to Yourself: Above all, Tina believes in showing up authentically. By leaning into her identity as an intuitive communication coach, she naturally draws in the right clients and builds meaningful connections. For business owners juggling multiple products or services, Tina's journey is a reminder that less is often more. Get clear on your offer, tailor it to the moment, and align your work with what fuels your energy. When you do, success stops feeling like a chaotic balancing act and starts to flow naturally. Tina Bakehouse is passionate, experienced, intuitive communication consultant & coach, storyteller, creative, and NEW AUTHOR of the book Discovering Our Magnetic Speaker Within.

Most soloists I know want to make a living on their own terms, but many are also driven by a bigger vision of making a difference, infusing both passion and purpose into their work. Have you ever wondered if you and your business could start a revolution? I sat down with Rochelle Moulton, a brand strategist, author, podcaster, and advocate for soloist consultants doing work that truly matters to discuss what it really means to have a mission-driven business. Unlike the political or violent imagery often associated with the term, we discussed revolution in the context of business and life. A revolution, as Rochelle defines it, is about driving change with a purpose. Whether you aim to support queer-owned businesses, protect undeveloped land, or empower the neurodivergent community, your business can be a vehicle for transformative impact.Practical Steps to Start Your Own RevolutionIdentify Your Mission: Reflect on what passionately bothers you about the status quo in your area of expertise and what change you want to lead. Experiment & Iterate: Don't jump in without a plan. Start with small, manageable steps. Evaluate what works and build on that. This allows you to maintain momentum without feeling overwhelmed or losing your drive.Align With Allies: Build a network of like-minded individuals who support your mission. This can involve collaborations with other businesses, partnerships with influencers in your field, or joining relevant communities.Monetize Wisely: Ensure your revolutionary idea can sustain you financially. Balance your passion with market viability. Think about how to price your services, the channels to reach your audience, and how to scale sustainably.Stay True to Yourself: Authenticity is key. Match your revolution to your genius zone. Play to your strengths, whether it's writing, speaking, or connecting deeply one-on-one.Fun Fact:Rochelle introduced the concept of a “situational extrovert”, describing people who are usually introverted but light up and slay the room when discussing their passions and expertise. This describes many mission-driven business owners, Is it you, too?Mentioned in this episode: Michael Kitces financial advisor Want more Rochelle in your life?Website - The Soloist Life Podcast - The Authority Code Book Did you love this episode?
