Dr. David Spindler is a neuroscientist, cognitive performance strategist, and elite athlete wellbeing expert who's spent his career helping athletes and teams understand that brain chemicals matter. He's worked with some of the biggest names in professional sport, most famously alongside Mark Cavendish through the darkest years of his career, chronicled in Netflix's "Never Enough."Three big segments in this one.Team culture. David breaks down the actual neurochemistry behind why old-school GreenEDGE had that "I'd do anything for my mate next to me" quality — it comes down to oxytocin, the same bonding chemical released when a parent holds their newborn, and why some teams manufacture it constantly while others can't buy it no matter how much they spend. He and Alex build an entire hypothetical Australian WorldTour team from a blank sheet of paper — values, non-negotiables, culture — and get into why "old school Green Edge" gets thrown around constantly but almost nobody can actually define what it means.Concussion. A proper breakdown of concussion protocols in the peloton and why cycling is dangerously behind rugby and the NFL on brain safety — including the messy legal reason nobody wants to call an impact sensor a "concussion sensor," and who actually carries liability when a rider gets hurt.Training the brain. David explains the real neuroscience of reactionary decision-making, why riders like Tadej Pogačar seem to have supernatural crash radar, and the actual mechanics of how he trains neural efficiency in elite endurance athletes to extend time to exhaustion — plus how his own PhD on decision-making under physiological load in professional cyclists led him down this path in the first place.

Summary In this episode, Andy sits down with Dr. Jeremy Pollack, a social-organizational psychologist and founder of Pollack Peacebuilding Systems, author of Wired for Peace: Using 7 Neuroscience-Based Principles to Resolve Conflicts. Jeremy looks at conflict through the lens of the brain and nervous system, which helps explain why disagreements escalate so quickly and why the fixes we reach for often make things worse. Andy and Jeremy talk about why de-escalation has to come before problem-solving, since solutions and stress do not mix. Jeremy walks us through his Sapien Model of six basic psychological needs, giving us a far more useful lens than labeling a stakeholder difficult, defensive, or resistant. You will hear how memory and prediction shape the way we read the person in front of us, what a team learns when its leader consistently avoids conflict, and why changing our experience of conflict requires new experiences, not just new beliefs. Jeremy also shares how this shows up at home, in marriage and parenting. If you're looking for a practical, evidence-based way to handle the conflicts that come with leading, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "The most fruitful relationships from what I've seen at work, at home, et cetera, are those that can weather storms without the real fear of abandonment." "That was pretty interesting to me to see how much of the science is telling us that, like, our brain is mostly a predictive machine." "Anytime we're in an escalated or emotionally charged state, there's something going on in our brains, usually subconsciously, that's tracking a threat or an impediment to our basic needs." "It's de-escalate first because solutions and stress just don't mix." "What I'm feeling right now is not a result of what the person's saying. It's a result of the way my body is responding." "I call it an experiential thumbprint. It's completely unique to you and no one else has your nervous system, and you don't have anyone else's." "If we have a negative experience with someone and we go into a place of fear or pain or anger or something like that, the way that we see them going forward can change very, very quickly, and it's a lot harder to get us to unsee that." "We access memories in edit mode. And so after we retrieve it, and when we write it back, it's not always quite the same thing, and that's always made me question not is that memory correct as much as is it completely correct." "All conflict is an opportunity for learning." "The threat of abandonment is the big thing to really watch for when we're having arguments."

And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? Molly Ruland says the hardest thing in growing a small business is perseverance. She compares business growth to the ocean—there are ebbs and flows, so you have to keep going through both the good and bad periods. She also emphasizes staying vigilant by continually checking your offers and reviewing your website/content to make sure everything is still relevant. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Molly Ruland shares that her favorite business book is The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership by John C. Maxwell.

Molly Ruland shares that she is a member of Together Digital, a women-in-marketing digital collective, which she finds to be an excellent resource.

Molly Ruland shares that she highly recommends Gamma. She says Gamma can significantly improve proposals, reports, and other business materials, and that it can change the way you work. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Molly Ruland shares that she would tell herself to "get a therapist."

Stop Chasing Outcomes with Erin Treacy. Most leaders are obsessed with outcomes, KPIs, and hitting the next target, but that focus can quietly create problems inside the team. In Stop Chasing Outcomes with Erin Treacy, Tim Staton sits down with leadership coach and small business expert Erin Treacy to explore why better results often begin with better systems, stronger communication, and a healthier team culture. Raised in a small family owned business in the Appalachian mountains of West Virginia, Erin Treacy brings a unique combination of family business experience, restaurant leadership, journalism, and professional coaching. Her experience gives her a practical perspective on how to start a small family business, how to run a small family business, and how to sell a small family business while building the leadership systems necessary for long-term business growth. In this episode of Tim Stating The Obvious, Tim Staton and Erin Treacy examine what it really takes to lead people effectively in a small business. They discuss Leadership, Management Tips, Small Business, Team Culture, Employee Engagement, Effective Communication, Professional Development, Leadership Development, Workplace Efficiency, and Business Growth without relying on empty leadership clichés. Erin explains why leaders should stop chasing outcomes and start improving the systems that produce those outcomes. Like a sports coach focusing on the next play rather than obsessing over the final score, effective leaders can improve performance by examining daily processes, communication, workflows, and employee experiences. The conversation also explores why self-assessment is one of the most overlooked leadership skills. Instead of immediately blaming employees when something goes wrong, leaders need to examine their own communication, expectations, systems, and management practices. Erin explains why “message sent” does not necessarily mean “message received” and how better communication can prevent small problems from becoming expensive failures. Another major focus is leadership by walking around. Erin explains why getting out of the office, walking the floor, talking directly with employees, and asking better questions can reveal problems that never make it through layers of middle management. For small family businesses and growing companies, this type of face-to-face connection can strengthen trust, improve employee engagement, and create a healthier team culture. Tim and Erin also discuss the challenge of developing internal talent. Many small businesses make the mistake of promoting their best employee into management without providing the training necessary to become an effective leader. Erin explains why businesses should develop a talent pipeline, cross-train employees, and provide professional development before someone is placed in a leadership position. The episode also explores the difference between managing outcomes and building systems, how to improve communication so employees understand their roles, and why middle managers can sometimes become the biggest bottleneck to workplace efficiency. For anyone interested in small family business ideas, building a successful family business, improving leadership and management, developing employees, or creating a workplace culture where people want to work, this conversation offers practical lessons that can be applied immediately. Whether you own a small business, work in management, lead a family-owned company, or are preparing for your next leadership position, Stop Chasing Outcomes with Erin Treacy will challenge you to think differently about leadership, communication, employee development, and business growth.   In This Episode Why leaders should focus on systems instead of obsessing over outcomes How self-assessment can improve leadership effectiveness Why effective communication requires listening, not just talking How leadership by walking around creates stronger employee engagement Why “message sent” does not always mean “message received” How small businesses can improve workplace efficiency Why promoting your best performer into management can backfire How to build an internal talent pipeline Why cross-training employees strengthens a small business How professional development supports leadership development The role of middle management in team culture How family-owned businesses can prepare for growth and transition Practical lessons for running and growing a small family business   Key Topics Leadership | Management Tips | Small Business | Team Culture | Employee Engagement | Effective Communication | Professional Development | Leadership Development | Workplace Efficiency | Business Growth | Family Business | Small Business Leadership | Talent Development | Management | Business Systems   About Erin Treacy Erin Treacy is a leadership and business coach from the Appalachian region of West Virginia.

https://teachhoops.com/ https://teachhoops.com/ If you step into gymnasiums across the country, almost every head coach has the word "CULTURE" printed in bold block letters across their team gear, painted on their locker room walls, or featured prominently in their social media graphics. They host long pre-season meetings talking about family, toughness, and championship standards. Yet, when the freezing temperatures of mid-January arrive, when the team drops three games on the road, or when a star player gets hit with a tough whistle, that "culture" instantly disintegrates into finger-pointing, passive body language, and emotional hang-time. That happens because most coaches mistake slogans for culture. Culture is not what you write on a dry-erase board or what you wish for during a quiet off-season. Culture is simply the daily behavioral baseline of your program—it is defined entirely by the lowest level of behavior you are willing to tolerate. In this episode of Coach Unplugged, recorded live at 5th Quarter Studios in Madison, Wisconsin, Coach Collins pulls back the curtain on how elite program builders construct an unshakeable, winning culture. Discover how to transition your locker room out of fragile, coach-fed compliance and build a self-policing, player-led powerhouse that holds the line when the pressure gets turned up. A championship program isn't built overnight through a motivational speech; it is systematically engineered using four structural pillars: The Blueprint: Your program's brand is not set by your highest achiever; it is anchored to what you allow your lowest performer to get away with. The Execution: If your primary scorer soft-recovers on a closeout, fails to play with High Hands, or rolls their eyes after a turnover, and you look the other way because you want to win a Tuesday night non-conference game, you have officially set a new, lower standard. Deploy The Antagonist on your staff to stop the clock immediately, address the breach in the "Truth Room," and demand an immediate reset. The Blueprint: Chaotic, average gyms feature noisy, emotional chatter. Championship gyms operate on a shared, high-signal language that drives rapid execution. The Execution: Banish passive apologies ("My bad, coach") from your vocabulary. Replace them with an immediate physical command: "Next Play Speed." When energy drops during a cold winter practice, require your floor leaders to step up, "Own the Room," and call out spatial coverages before the coaching staff ever intervenes. The Blueprint: A Level 2 program is Coach-Fed—the players act like robotic pieces on a chessboard, waiting for a joystick directive from the baseline. A Level 4 program is Player-Led—the athletes take full ownership of the standard. The Execution: Put your whistle in your pocket during your Small-Sided Games ($SSGs$). Allow your players to face friction, resolve spatial alignment problems on the fly, and huddle independently to hold their peers accountable through the exhaust. The Blueprint: Culture is forged in how you respect time. Long whiteboard lectures and single-file lines breed boredom leaks, mental fatigue, and conversational laziness. The Execution: Structure your 120-minute practice script around high Rep Density using a mandatory Multi-Ball architecture. Keep at least $70%$ of your roster moving, catching, or passing concurrently to maintain core temperatures and build athletic resilience. We don't build a strong culture simply so everyone gets along in the locker room. We build culture because disciplined, unselfish, high-trust teams make better decisions on the floor. A culture anchored in rapid ball movement, selfless cutting geometry, and elite offensive screening directly optimizes your team's Effective Field Goal Percentage ($eFG%$): When your players trust each other and flush mistakes in zero seconds, they take higher-quality, uncontested shots under pressure on Friday night. Coach's Note: "You don't get the culture you wish for; you get the culture you negotiate and accept every single day in practice. If you let little things slide on Tuesday—slouched body language, dropped hands on a closeout, walking between drill transitions—you are actively training your team to crumble on Friday night. Stop chasing short-term transactional wins. Clean up your clock, hold an uncompromised line on your standard, empower your assistant staff, and hand the keys over to your players. Build a shield that lasts." Title Ideas: How to Build a Winning Basketball Program Culture (Stop Renting Talent!)

In this short solo episode, Im doing something a little different as one of the most common emails i get is about personal development tools - so here is one i think might be useful.In this episode im going to revisit & explore Patrick Lencioni's book The Ideal Team Player and its simple but powerful framework of being humble, hungry and smart. I look at how these three qualities can support your own personal and professional development, help you become a stronger and more valuable team player, and give leaders a practical way to develop healthier, more effective teams. I also examine what happens when one of these qualities is missing, why certain combinations can become damaging, and how the framework can be used as a mirror for self-reflection, a language for honest team conversations and a tool for building stronger organisations.Access all episodes, documents, GIVEAWAYS & debriefs HEREPodcast Apparel, Hoodies, Flags, Mugs HERE Please check out our Partners supporting this episode areWilliam Wood Watches - Discount code FFPODCAST gives the user 10% off full range on websitePBI high-performance fabrics GORE-TEX Professional ClothingMSA The Safety CompanyJAFCOSend us Fan MailSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.

"In today's attention economy, high-impact leadership isn't about massive annual corporate initiatives; it's built through tiny, intentional interactions that lower stress and build genuine trust." Workplace wellbeing strategist, executive coach, and keynote speaker Ally Meyers joins host Josh Seldin to break down her signature approach to creating resilient, high-performing teams through her "Flourish at Work" methodology. Ally brings a rich background in positive psychology and executive coaching to show leaders how micro-habits—rather than sweeping, surface-level perks—are the real engine behind employee retention, focus, and long-term performance. Josh and Ally unpack five practical micro steps every manager can start implementing immediately to protect employee mental bandwidth and combat workplace burnout. They explore how to normalize flow state focus blocks, structure meeting buffers to prevent cognitive overload, and set healthy boundaries around after-hours communication. Additionally, Ally reveals the neuroscience behind starting meetings with "broaden-and-build" questions and explains how managers can bridge cross-generational communication gaps between Boomers and Gen Z. This episode serves as an actionable blueprint for any leader looking to build a connected, human-centered culture while protecting their team's sustainable productivity. Key Takeaways: ✅ Micro-Steps Over Sweeping Initiatives: Why small, daily managerial interactions create far more sustainable cultural support than once-a-year corporate perks. ✅ Protecting Flow State: How encouraging dedicated focus blocks helps employees achieve "effortless productivity" and deep fulfillment in an attention-scarce world. ✅ Meeting Palate Cleansers: Utilizing buffer times and shortened schedules to avoid back-to-back cognitive fatigue and preserve mental clarity. ✅ Clarifying After-Hours Boundaries: Establishing explicit off-hours communication protocols to avoid the trap of the "infinite workday." ✅ Broaden-and-Build Meetings: Leveraging positive emotion at the start of team check-ins to build psychological safety, deepen trust, and improve problem-solving. ✅ Navigating Generative Workstyles: Practical approaches for managing different generational communication habits and reframing flexibility across your team.

Summary In this episode, Andy sits down with Gustavo Razzetti, culture consultant and author of Forward Talk. Gustavo makes a case that surprises a lot of leaders: fear is only part of why people stay quiet at work. The bigger driver is what he calls the pointlessness paradox, the belief that speaking up will not change anything. Andy and Gustavo talk about conversational debt and how it compounds over time, why silence is so often mistaken for alignment, and the subtle signs that a team is drifting into avoidance, blame, or groupthink. Gustavo unpacks the difference between backward talk and forward talk, offering practical ways to turn an objection into a question that opens possibilities. You'll also hear about conversational agency, why the second person who speaks up matters more than the first, and how the CPR approach of courage, perspective, and responsibility plays out under pressure. Along the way, Andy shares stories from Alfred Sloan at GM and Alan Mulally at Ford, and Gustavo shares a memorable one about his son and a crashed car. If you're looking for a more confident way to raise the issues your team keeps avoiding, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "However, fear only explains part of why people don't speak up. At some point, people feel nothing will change." "I like to say that agreement happens in the room, alignment happens after the meeting." "When you become the team leader, the number of people giving you feedback reduces, and when you become a senior executive, no one gives you feedback.  Or if they do, it's not honest." "But what you want is people to challenge your perspective, to show you what you're missing, to see the things you're not seeing or maybe you stop seeing." "The problem is when we put being accepted, being respected over the outcome." "So forward talk is when can we frame that objection into a question." "So you're not being difficult. You're being realistic, but trying to find a solution, and you're giving the other person options." "Most people don't regret the difficult conversations they had. What we regret are the ones that we never had." "There's research that shows that the person who speaks up first is not the most important person. The second person who reciprocates is actually the one that creates the change. That moment when two people are talking about the same issue, it gives permission to the other people to jump in and also participate." "Staying silent also backfires, not only because it hurts the company, but if you're seeing the problem and you're staying silent, you become part of the problem." "It's not the absence of conflict that makes us a good team. It's that we can do it and we can work through it."

The Angels dropped two of three at home to the Detroit Tigers, and the biggest story wasn't the pitching—it was an offense that simply disappeared. ToddFox and Courtnee break down a frustrating series in which the Halos managed just four total runs over three games, continuing a season-long trend of inconsistent hitting, poor situational baseball, and an offense that struggles to make adjustments. While the pitching staff did enough to keep the Angels competitive throughout the series, the lack of offensive production once again proved to be the difference. Is this simply a hitting slump, or does it point to a deeper issue within the clubhouse? On this episode, ToddFox and Courtnee discuss: Why the Angels' offense has become one of the biggest concerns on the teamHow scoring just four runs in three games isn't enough to win consistentlyWhether the team's culture and approach at the plate are contributing to the strugglesThe lack of in-game adjustments and situational hittingPlayers who need to step up offensivelyThe positives from the pitching staff despite the series lossWhat needs to change if the Angels hope to stay competitive Is this roster underachieving, or are the problems much bigger than talent alone?

From injuries and position changes to parents, pressure, and team culture, they share what the highlight reels never show.Episode SummaryToday's episode goes behind the scenes of what it actually takes to move from high school and club volleyball into the college game. Adam Lane sits down with four young athletes heading off to play collegiate volleyball, digging into the anxiety, excitement, and identity shifts that come with recruiting, role changes, and starting over on a new team.The Fab Four talk candidly about injuries, playing through pain, switching positions, and the mental battles that come with doubt, comparison, and parents' expectations.

It's a raw, honest look at the college volleyball journey for athletes, parents, and coaches who want the full picture.Key TakeawaysYou'll Learn:Why the jump from high school/club to college volleyball is more of a mental transition than just a physical one.How athletes can handle the uncertainty of playing time, depth charts, and competing with older players.The impact of switching positions (middle, outside, libero, DS) on confidence, identity, and long-term development.Why “you get to, you don't have to” is a powerful mindset for training, sacrifice, and missing social events.How parents' comments—good or bad—shape an athlete's confidence more than most realize.The hidden cost of playing hurt and why strength training and rehab matter for long-term health.How to evaluate college programs for culture and coaching style, not just level, logo, or facilities.Why playing multiple sports can build better movement, reduce burnout, and improve performance.Practical advice older athletes would give their younger selves about gratitude, perspective, and enjoying the journey.How team chemistry, cliques, and leadership shape the day-to-day experience more than the win–loss record.Episode Chapters00:00 Welcome & Fab Four introductions02:00 College volleyball plans & early nerves06:30 Playing time, roles & competing with upperclassmen11:00 Confidence, mindset shifts & club experiences17:00 Position changes, shoulder issues & overuse23:00 Parents, pressure & sideline feedback31:40 Gratitude, sacrifice & “you get to, not have to”36:30 Injuries, able bodies & pushing limits40:40 Multi-sport debate & burnout48:00 Culture, coaching style & choosing the right school56:30 Health, lifting & sending athletes to college strong59:00 Final thoughts & where to follow the Fab FourResources MentionedField of Dreams – classic baseball movie referenced during the Iowa conversation.Rockford Half Ironman – local triathlon used as an example of endurance, suffering, and confidence.Central College (Iowa) – destination for two of the athletes.UW–Stout (Wisconsin) – college one athlete is attending.Mount Mercy University (Iowa) – another destination school mentioned.St. Ambrose University – referenced via a multi-sport recruit example.Connect with the GuestsThe Fab FourCamryn Hilliard – @camryn.hilliardNatalie Vaupel – @natalie_vaupelLaney Block – @laneyblockkkMolly Fell – @mollyfell_About the PodcastWelcome to Oak Performance Radio, where the focus is on what it really takes to perform at a high level.

On the Contacts Coaching Podcast, Justin interviews Kevin Fox, a Salinas native and longtime Midland, Texas resident who serves as character coach for Grant McCasland at Texas Tech. Fox shares his path from UC Davis and early ministry work to building relationships in junior college basketball at Midland College, where he connected with coaches like McCasland, Ross Hodge, and others. They discuss West Texas sports culture, the importance of encouraging multi-sport athletes, and how character coaching works best through organic relationships, clear boundaries, and accountability. Fox addresses how NIL has increased pressure and outside pull on athletes, the value of JUCO coaching experience for today's roster turnover, and practical ways teams define and measure culture, including tracking “positive touches.” He also reflects on humility, continuous learning, and stepping out from behind the scenes.00:00 Welcome and Introductions01:06 From Salinas to Midland01:53 Hoops to Coaching Network04:38 Character Coach Role05:15 West Texas Football Culture07:06 Multi Sport Debate10:37 Organic Mentorship Model14:40 NIL Pressures and Protection17:39 JUCO Mindset at Tech21:16 Calling to Ministry25:16 Teaching Faith and Coaching28:44 Coaching Meets Ministry30:21 Learning to Say I Don't Know31:53 Humility and Adaptation34:26 Boundaries and Accountability39:03 Preacher vs Minister41:15 Coaching Across Levels47:12 Defining Character Culture51:12 Changing Minds and Showing Up53:57 Closing Story and Farewell

Leadership development is not about checking boxes. It is about building the awareness, communication, trust, and consistency required to help people grow, perform, and feel safe enough to do meaningful work. LaTonya Wilkins brings a powerful conversation on what it really means to lead below the surface. From psychological safety and culture to coaching, delegation, community, and connection across differences, this master class challenges leaders to stop treating leadership like a static skillset and start looking at how leadership is actually experienced by the people they serve. Learn how to honestly rate your leadership by asking better questions: • How clear is your communication? • How do people experience you in meetings, emails, and difficult conversations? • Are you giving people the guardrails they need without making them too tight? • Are you creating hope, trust, compassion, and stability? • Are you developing people, or just expecting them to perform? • Are burnout, churn, poor delegation, and low trust signs of a deeper leadership problem? This conversation also explores why many leadership development programs fail because they rely on outdated models, performative culture work, and initiatives that were never truly embedded into the organization. Real culture cannot be reduced to perks, titles, slogans, or temporary programs. It has to show up in how leaders communicate, make decisions, build teams, manage change, and create belonging. LaTonya also brings a needed perspective on coaching and community in a noisy market where too many people sell quick fixes without doing the real work. Strong leadership, real coaching, and healthy culture are all relationship businesses. They require trust, self-awareness, accountability, and the right people around you at every stage. For executives, founders, HR leaders, coaches, consultants, people managers, and anyone responsible for leading others, this conversation is a reminder that real leadership still wins when it is rooted in trust, development, culture, coaching, and community.

How do great leaders build teams to become who they're capable of becoming, and prepare them to handle their emotions when the pressure is highest?Eddie Jones is one of the most accomplished coaches in world rugby. He has led Australia, England, and Japan on the international stage, and guided Japan to one of the greatest upsets in rugby history at the 2015 World Cup. He has built a career on turning teams around, creating pressure, and challenging more from the people he leads. There is a fine line in that work. Too little challenge and we never understand who we can become. Too much and we create the wrong conditions to explore. That line has not always been easy to walk. Eddie's demanding methods have drawn criticism over the years, and his exits from England in 2022 and Australia in 2023 came under intense public scrutiny... a chapter he alludes to here when he describes the mistake of letting the noise come down on top of him.In this conversation with Dr. Michael Gervais, Eddie walks through how he builds team identity, starting with a picture in his head of how a team could play and then closing the gap between that vision and the group in front of him. He explains why he keeps training about 70% successful, so the 30% of failure becomes the learning, and why training should always be harder than the game. He makes the case that immediate, private feedback beats public humiliation every time, and that the best coaches ask far more questions than they answer.Eddie also talks about understanding the individual, why coaching has shifted from team-based to one-on-one, and how a single moment of feeling important from a coach 30 years ago still moves him today. He opens up struggles he has faced with his own emotions, the mistakes he has made, the generation that taught him to never show vulnerability, and why he is still learning to make room for joy. In this conversation, we explore:How great coaches build a team identity and close the gap between vision and realityWhy training should be about 70% successful, so the failures become the learningThe value in training harder than the gameWhy the best coaches ask more questions than they answerHow understanding the individual has become central to modern leadershipWhy you should never assume, and always confirm by knowing the personThe thinking time every leader needsBy the end of the conversation the two land on a question every leader should ask: would you want to be coached by yourself?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!Go to: https://findingmastery.com/sponsors/Subscribe to the Finding Mastery newsletter for weekly high performance insights: https://www.findingmastery.com/newsletterDownload Dr. Mike's Morning Mindset Routine: findingmastery.com/morningmindsetFollow on YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, and XEddie Jones' Books: My Life and Rugby: The Autobiography and Leadership: Lessons from My Life in RugbySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if failure isn't the opposite of winning — but the gift that makes it possible? In Part 2 of this two-part conversation, Your Health CEO Matt Staub opens up about the present he gave himself at 40: permission to fail. Then he shows what that looks like when life tests it — walking Jamie through a 2025 that brought prostate cancer, his daughter's surgery, the loss of his father, and professional hardship, and the quiet strength it takes to look back and say, "That was a good try. I'm still here. I'm hard to beat." In this episode, you'll hear: How Matt reframes a loss into a "fall forward" — and the simple habit he uses to do it The agonizing leadership question of when to let someone you care about fail Why accountability, done right, is one of the best gifts you can give a friend The danger of only celebrating big wins — and how complacency quietly creeps in Why the only voice that truly matters is the one inside your own head If you missed Part 1, start there for the full arc. Then settle in here for the deeper, more personal half — and walk away with a new relationship to the losses in your own life.

Why Your Team Stops Telling You the Truth As companies grow, leaders often face an invisible challenge: they hear less of what's really happening. This isn't because employees are dishonest. It's because people naturally filter information when speaking to someone who holds authority over their career, compensation, and future opportunities. In this episode, Allison explores: How growth changes a leader's information environment Why teams begin filtering information The role power plays in workplace communication How leadership blind spots are created Why people stop raising concerns The hidden cost of operating on incomplete information Why asking for honesty isn't enough How to create psychological safety inside organizations The importance of trusted peers outside your business Key Question: When your team gives you an update, do you believe you're getting the full picture? If not, what have you done to make honesty truly safe?

Whoever scores the most goals wins. Simple — until you leave the field and try to keep score in your actual life, where there's no referee and no final whistle. So how do you know if you're winning? In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Your Health CEO Matt Staub sits down with Jamie Preston to redefine what a win actually is. Matt opens with the daily ritual that grounds him — making it to the gym — and the moment he realized the win wasn't the scale or the heavier lift, but the discipline of showing up at all. In this episode, you'll hear: Why the heaviest weight at the gym is the front door — and what that teaches about every goal The hidden cost of only celebrating the big wins (hint: it's called burnout) What a humbling match-play golf loss taught Jamie about changing the goal instead of the game Why Matt believes pressure is a privilege — and how he leans into it Who actually decides what counts as a win, and what to do when there's no scoreboard This is the half where winning gets redefined from the outside in. Press play, then come back next week for Part 2 — where it gets personal.

Every leader talks about team culture. Very few are actually building it the right way. This week Jon and Coach Jim bust four of the most common myths about team culture, and at least one of them is probably something you believe right now.If you have ever bought the team lunch and wondered why morale did not improve, this one is for you.

What happens when the pace of AI makes even the most recent college graduate's knowledge obsolete within six months? In this episode of the CPO Rising series, hosted by Products That Count Resident CPO Renee Niemi, Salesforce EVP and GM of Agentforce Service Kishan Chetan speaks on what it really takes to drive AI adoption at scale, why adoption is fundamentally a social phenomenon, and how he thinks about product success through one simple lens: do customers buy it, use it, and love it? Leading a product line approaching $10 billion in revenue, Kishan brings a grounded, practical perspective on what the best product leaders are doing right now to stay ahead of a world that will not slow down for anyone.

Pastor Q talks about what happens when leaders care deeply but start carrying more than they should. He explains why leaders often feel the weight before everyone else does, and how that can turn into frustration or resentment if they take it personally. The episode focuses on healthy ownership: carrying what is yours, helping others own their piece, and not trying to control everything. Pastor Q reminds leaders that not everyone carries responsibility the same way, and leadership is not about making everyone think or feel exactly like you. The big takeaway: don't let caring deeply turn into carrying everything by yourself. Lead with care, trust people with responsibility, and stay connected to the team while helping them grow.
