Rick sits down with George Rivera to talk about the part of success most founders do not want to admit. You can build the business. Make the money. Still lose the room at home.In this conversation George Rivera, an entrepreneur who helped build a supplement company past $200 million in sales, talks about the deathbed sentence from his father that changed everything. “Don't miss Leo's games. I missed too many of yours.” That hit became the line he refused to cross.This episode gets into founder dependency, hero identity, delegation, buying back your time, and the silent drift that happens when your family stops expecting you to show up. Founder burnout and founder work life balance are still major conversations in 2026, especially around building companies that do not require constant founder collapse to survive.In this interview you'll learn:Why “I'll make it up later” is one of the most dangerous lies founders tell themselvesHow your business can train your family to stop counting on youWhy being needed can turn into a prison if you never let anyone else own the workHow George cut his hours down and still grew the companyWhy presence at home has to be built into the business before it is too lateFollow Rick's Socials:Instagram | LinkedIn | RickJordan.TVKeywords: founder burnout, founder dad, entrepreneur dad, work life balance, buy back your time, george rivera, rick jordan, frequency podcast, founder dependency, business bottleneck, hero identity, delegation, ai automation, founder prison, family drift, present father, dad guilt, entrepreneur burnout, business systems, time freedom, business owner mindset, leadership pressure, founder mental health, high performer burnout, family first business, scaling a company, business growth, entrepreneur habits, stop micromanaging, automate delegate eliminate, work less grow more, founder story, fatherhood, business and family, silent drift, make it up later, successful but absent, time audit

Do you ever feel like you're carrying every part of your business on your shoulders? As spiritual entrepreneurs, many of us become incredibly resourceful. We learn the technology, build the systems, create the content, manage the client experience, and handle countless responsibilities behind the scenes. While these skills can help us grow, they can also lead us into a quiet belief that we should be able to do everything ourselves.In this thoughtful and encouraging episode, Michel explores the myth of "doing it all yourself" in a digital world. She shares how modern technology has made it possible for one person to wear every hat in a business, but also how that expectation can leave us feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from the work we truly feel called to do. Beyond the obvious cost of time, Michel invites listeners to consider a deeper question: What precious things might be unintentionally falling through the cracks while we are busy trying to carry everything alone?This episode offers a compassionate perspective on receiving support, creating systems that protect our energy, and building a business that supports our mission rather than consuming it. Whether you're feeling stretched thin, experiencing digital overwhelm, or simply longing for more space in your life and business, this conversation will encourage you to rethink what success, support, and sustainability can look like as a spiritual entrepreneur.Topics CoveredWhy spiritual entrepreneurs feel responsible for doing everything themselvesHow technology has expanded both our opportunities and our responsibilitiesThe hidden cost of carrying too many roles in your businessWhy relationship-building often gets neglected when we're overwhelmedHow administrative tasks can unintentionally crowd out your soul workThe connection between business growth, meaningful relationships, and communityWhat beauty, rest, creativity, and life experiences contribute to your businessWhy systems, automation, and AI can help protect your energyReceiving support as a spiritual and entrepreneurial practiceReflection questions to help identify where support is needed mostIf you've ever felt overwhelmed by the endless responsibilities of running a business or wondered why success still feels exhausting despite all your hard work, this episode is for you. Join Michel for a heartfelt conversation about creating a business that supports your life, protects your energy, and allows more room for relationships, creativity, purpose, and joy. Tune in and discover what might become possible when you stop believing you have to do it all yourself.Contact:michel@moneylighthouse.com

Recorded live on-site at GDC, hosts Peggy Anne Salz and Craig Chapple sit down with Robert Burnett, Head of New Content at Skillz, and Jon Radoff, CPO of Beamable, to unpack what just changed for developers building competitive mobile games.With the acquisition of Beamable, Skillz is pushing into a bigger role: giving developers more control over progression, LiveOps and monetisation inside the game, while still handling the infrastructure that is hardest to build well. As Jon puts it, the goal is to build “a business operating system for a game studio” so developers can focus on gameplay instead of racking up debt. “If you're spending any of your effort building the tech instead of the fun, you're accumulating debt that doesn't do you any good.”Skillz also unveiled the Pro SDK at GDC, opening up more control inside Unity for developers who want to build competitive games with richer progression, more flexible monetisation and a stronger live-service layer. In this episode, Peggy and Craig get into:Puzzle Blockz, the first live proof point for the combined platformWhat this shift means for smaller teams that want to move faster without building every part of the stack themselvesHow advertising, IAP and competition can start to work together instead of sitting in separate silos If you are serious about building competitive mobile games that can keep players and grow revenue, start here.Chapters00:00 New Ways for Developers to Monetize01:34 The Acquisition of Beamable by Skillz01:59 Solving Pain Points with the Pro SDK04:46 A Business Operating System for Game Studios06:27 The Role of AI in Rapid Prototyping10:14 Economies of Scale in Game Development11:51 From Vibe Coding to Agentic Systems16:01 Case Study: The Puzzle Blocks Proof of Concept22:50 Iterating Based on Real-Time Player Feedback34:31 The Future Roadmap: Intelligence and AutomationLet's Connect

If you've been watching the news and feeling despair because you can't do anything about it, this episode is for you.The Epstein files, revealing how powerful men think about, talk about, and treat women. ICE raids tearing families apart. Strikes on Iranian cities - and schools full of children!In this episode, I make a direct connection between these social issues and what happens inside our homes every day. The patterns playing out on a global scale - where the person with more power decides whose feelings count - show up in our families too, often in moments we don't even notice, and that seem like they're about discipline. The decisions we make in those moments are quietly teaching our kids lessons we may not intend to pass on. Questions this episode will answerWhat do ICE raids have to do with parenting? When children watch some families live in fear of being separated while others are basically safe by default, they learn that some people's safety matters more than others. That same lesson can show up at home when we use our power as parents to override our kids' feelings and needs. Why is it important to teach kids about consent? Research shows that girls start shifting from seeing their body as something that helps them do things to seeing it as something to be judged - often earlier than we realize. Teaching consent starts long before those conversations about sex. It starts when we stop forcing our children to accept hugs and give kisses they don't want from well-meaning relatives. How do you explain consent to children? Consent is about whose body, feelings, and needs matter most. When we override our child's no - even in small everyday moments - we teach them that the person with more power wins. This episode explores what it looks like to do things differently. How do the Iran strikes connect to how we raise our kids? When leaders frame bombing cities where children live as "protecting freedom", they're using the same logic many of us heard growing up: that hurting someone with less power is justified when the person with more power decides it's for a good reason. This episode traces that logic from foreign policy all the way back to the family dinner table. What does it mean that we're all part of the system - not just the people doing obvious harm? It's easy to point to the person at the center causing the most visible damage. But around that person are rings of people who actively enable them, then people who know and look away, and then the rest of us - making decisions every day in our families and communities that make it more or less likely that people with power can keep using it. This episode explains what that outermost ring looks like in ordinary family life, and what it means to resist it from there. What you'll learn in this episodeWhy the same power dynamics driving ICE raids, the Epstein files, and the Iran strikes also show up in everyday parenting momentsHow the language our leaders use about migrants, women, and foreign countries shapes what our kids quietly absorb about whose lives matterWhat research tells us about how girls experience the shift from body ownership to body judgment - and what parents can do to slow that shift downWhy the parents who explode when their kids say no are often people who were never allowed to say no themselvesHow using power to manage our kids' behavior in stressful moments teaches the same lesson as the biggest injustices in the news - just on a smaller scaleWhat it looks like to build a home where your child's feelings and needs count - even when you're overwhelmed Taming Your TriggersIf you recognized yourself anywhere in this episode - if you know that when the poop hits the fan you fall back on power because you don't know what else to do - that's exactly what we work on in my Taming Your Triggers workshop. In the workshop, we go deep on why you get triggered, what you actually need in those moments, and how to build a different response from the inside out - so you're not just white-knuckling it through the hard moments anymore.And we've made it more accessible.

Send us a textWork Slop: Why AI Shortcuts Are Costing Teams More Than They SaveEver get an email, doc, or deck from someone and instantly think, “This is… not it”? In this episode, we're digging into the rise of work slop—the vague, messy, low-quality output that shows up when AI is used as a replacement for thinking instead of a tool for support.Kendra sits down with Sue Justice, founder of Emory HR, to talk about why this isn't just an AI problem—it's a performance, communication, and leadership problem that businesses can't afford to ignore. We explore:What “Work Slop” Is (and Why It's Growing)How AI-generated work becomes unclear, incorrect, or incompleteWhy “slapping something together” shifts work to the next personThe difference between using AI as an assistant vs. letting it do the job This Isn't a Tool Issue—It's a Behavior IssueHow people have always “phoned it in,” but AI makes it faster and more visibleWhy audiences and teammates can sense when work lacks human touchThe real question leaders must ask: workload problem or character problem?What Leaders Should Do About ItWhen to coach and when to treat it as a performance issueWhy a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) matters before cutting tiesHow industry risk, trust, and legal exposure shape your response Where AI Helps—and Where It Shouldn't LeadUsing AI for brainstorming or templates vs. high-stakes decisionsWhy contracts and policies need human tone, context, and accountabilityThe risk of letting AI output become “authority” without review Sue's Biggest Marketing LessonWhy business owners shouldn't try to do everything themselvesHow doing the wrong work wastes more time than it savesThe sustainability link between delegation and quality Whether you're leading a team, outsourcing work, or using AI in your own business, this episode is a clear reminder: AI can save time, but only if humans own the standard. If the quality drops, the cost doesn't disappear—it just lands on someone else. “AI is meant to be an assistant… not the end-all ‘I'll do it for you' solution.” – Sue Justice 00:00:00 Introduction to Sue Justice and why HR belongs in this conversation 00:02:06 What “work slop” is and how it shows up at work 00:03:39 Why AI misuse is really a people/performance issue 00:06:53 Skill gap vs. character flaw: how to tell the difference 00:09:57 When work slop becomes a firing-level problem 00:13:05 Transparency, AI policies, and setting clear standards 00:19:01 AI adoption is everywhere—whether companies admit it or not 00:23:04 Sue's biggest marketing lesson as a business ownerConnect with Sue Justice:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susanajustice/Website: https://emeryhr.com/ Looking to leverage AI?

What if the reason you hesitate, second-guess yourself, or hold back from the life you want has nothing to do with your capability and everything to do with an old version of you still calling the shots?In this episode, I explore a truth that changes everything once you see it. We are not born doubting ourselves. We are born confident, expressive, curious, and unafraid. But over time, the world teaches us to quiet down, to not be too much, to stay safe. And without questioning it, we listen. That dimmed version of ourselves slowly becomes the voice we default to. Not because we are broken, but because we learned how to survive.I share how this shows up in real life for so many women. Feeling called to lead but waiting until you feel ready. Wanting more but editing yourself before you even try. Knowing you are meant for something bigger while staying loyal to an old story that tells you to stay small.This episode is about recognizing when your inner girl is running the show and learning how to let the woman you are today take the lead. It is about self trust, leadership, and remembering who you were before the world told you to be less.In this episode, I talk about:Why we are born confident and how self doubt is learnedHow childhood conditioning shows up in adult decision makingThe difference between intuition and old fear patternsWhy so many women wait for permission instead of trusting themselvesHow healing your inner girl directly impacts how you lead and liveWhat it really means to lead from withinIf you have ever felt called to more but found yourself hesitating, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.And if something in this episode resonates, I want to personally invite you to join me for my free two day masterclass, Lead from Within, happening live January 26th and 27th. This experience is designed to help you break through self doubt, reconnect with your inner voice, and step into your life with more clarity, courage, and confidence. You do not need to be perfect or ready. You just need to show up with an open heart.You can save your free seat at melodypourmoradi.com/leadfromwithinKey takeaways from this episode:You were not born doubting yourself. You were taught to.The inner girl is protective, not broken.The version of you that learned how to survive does not need to run your life.Confidence is not something you earn. It is something you remember.When a woman learns to trust herself, she becomes a powerful example for every girl watching.When you rise back into who you truly are, you do not just change your own life. You change what is possible for the next generation.Closing affirmation:I trust myself. I lead from within. I no longer dim my light.Let's Stay Connected!As an empowerment coach, author, twin girl mom, and the creator of the GiRLiFE Academy, my mission is to help every woman and girl discover her voice and live a life that lights her up from the inside out.I'd love to connect with you and continue this beautiful journey together!

Most people don't feel broken because they're weak — they feel broken because they've gone numb. Disconnected. Shut down. In this raw and revealing conversation, Kellan and Debbie expose the truth behind emotional avoidance, self-betrayal, and the quiet ways we abandon ourselves every single day.You're not stuck because life is against you. You're stuck because you've disconnected from the part of you that knows exactly what to do.This episode pulls you out of autopilot and back into the living, breathing, honest center of your life — where truth heals, where courage awakens, and where real transformation begins.The truth about emotional shutdown and numbnessWhy people disconnect from themselvesHow avoidance creates misery, stagnation, and confusionReconnecting to inner truth and personal powerThe relationship between honesty, healing, and freedomWhy discomfort is necessary for growthRecognizing the lies we tell ourselvesHow to reclaim agency and choose life again

It's in the buyer's mind.In this episode, Brent Adamson—co-author of The Challenger Sale and The Challenger Customer and Co-Founder of A to B Insight—joins host Ken Lempit to reveal why most SaaS deals are lost to no decision at all, and how his new book, The Framemaking Sale, helps buyers build the confidence to act. Brent explains how the sales playbook has evolved from “teach them what to think” to “help them trust themselves”—and why the future of B2B growth depends on changing how we sell, not what we sell.Key insights from this episode:Why no decision—not competitors—is killing SaaS dealsHow to turn buyer anxiety into deal confidenceWhy “trusted advisor” means helping customers trust themselvesHow marketing and sales can guide smarter, faster SaaS buyingThe mindset shift every B2B sales leader needs nowIf you're a B2B SaaS CRO, CMO, or founder looking to increase close rates, reenergize your go-to-market, and win against the status quo, this conversation will change how you think about selling.---Not Getting Enough Demos?

What happens when you've spent a lifetime unseen, unchosen, and defined by someone else's story? In this episode of Mother Mayhem, a daughter asks: Who Am I, really? Together, we explore:Why daughters of narcissistic or emotionally limited mothers often feel dissociated or split from themselvesHow dissociation shows up in daily life and gentle ways to come back into the presentWhy listening and gathering resources without acting is a trauma response, not a failureHow to begin bridging head and heart after years of survival modeWhat to do with rage and grief when confronting a mother won't bring healingHow identity is reclaimed, not reinvented and why it's never too late to beginThis episode offers both a clinical lens and a community one. It reminds daughters that healing happens in connection, not isolation.If you've ever wondered who you are beyond the roles you were given, or how to carry rage and grief without being consumed by them, this conversation will meet you right where you are.And if you're looking to be a sponsor of the show or want to know more about connecting with other Mayhem daughters, you can find us at MayhemDaughters.com

In this episode, Ryan McCready, content leader turned Principal Content Engineer at Demostack, opens up about the moments that shaped his path: hacking distribution in the early “monoculture SEO” days, sharpening his voice through roles at Foundation, Reforge, and Whimsical, and facing his first layoff. He shares candid stories about creator burnout after viral teardowns, being the last marketer standing after cuts, and the gut punch of being told he hadn't delivered on a role that had completely changed. When the market went quiet, Ryan turned the setback into a story on LinkedIn, igniting a thousand DMs, weeks of interviews, and a fresh sense of momentum.Now, as a builder and editor who treats vulnerability like a career asset, Ryan talks about measuring success in relationships, not just metrics, documenting your receipts, keeping your voice, and sending that DM. He breaks down the unglamorous parts of leadership: giving and receiving hard feedback, guarding against plagiarism, and aligning work with products that actually have staying power, while showing how practical AI and automation can clear the busywork so you can create with intention.In this conversation, you'll learn:How vulnerability, done thoughtfully, can unlock opportunity, community, and your next rolePractical ways to productize your “receipts” with AI or automation so your wins market themselvesHow to deliver and absorb tough editorial feedback while protecting quality and your own voiceThings to listen for:(00:00) Intro(01:34) Ryan's early career and content creation journey(04:19) Navigating career challenges and feedback(09:37) Thank you to our sponsor, Navattic(11:04) Giving and receiving feedback(14:58) On being a team player(17:41) The importance of adaptability(31:18) The power of vulnerability in job hunting(35:39) Creating a strong online presence(41:57) Difficult conversations in leadership(51:16) Building professional relationshipsA huge thanks to this episode's sponsor:Navattic: Interactive Product Demo Software - https://navattic.com/value Resources:Connect with Ryan:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-mccready Demostack: https://www.demostack.com/ Connect with Andrew:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewcapland/ Substack: https://media.deliveringvalue.coHire Andrew as your coach: https://deliveringvalue.co/coachingJoin Growth OS: https://deliveringvalue.co/growth-operating-system

When my kids were little, I came up with a routine that I called “The 5 Things”. Basically, I decided on five things that my kids needed to do before school every morning - the non-negotiables. Today, you'll learn how to create and follow through on your own morning and bedtime routines. You'll Learn:What The 5 Things are and how to use this tool to create simple routines for your kidsWhy The 5 Things helps kids think for themselvesHow to adapt the tool to bedtime or other routines in your familyBarking orders, reminding over and over, and rushing kids does not set you up for a good morning or the gentle handoff we want. The 5 Things is a way to create a simple routine kids can remember and complete on their own (with a little practice, of course).----------------------------------------What Are The 5 Things?In our house, The 5 Things were:Get dressedBrush your teethEat breakfastGet your lunchbox and backpackPut on your socks and shoesAbout five minutes before it was time to leave, I would stand at the door, look them in the eyeballs, and say, “Okay, it's time to leave. Have you done your five things?”If they hadn't done them all yet or if they looked at me with a confused, blank stare, I'd try to coach them through in a way that required them to do their own thinking. You can just hold out your 5 fingers and help them go through and tick them down together. I LOVE this video from @sprinkleinlearning showing a similar morning routine in action.Choosing Your 5 ThingsYour 5 Things don't have to be exactly the same as mine. In the video, you'll see that the little girl is already dressed, and her 5 Things are backpack, water, lunch, shoes, and jacket. There are a few areas here where I have some thoughts…Water bottles - I never really cared about my kids taking a water bottle to school. They were welcome to fill up a bottle and put it in their backpack anytime, but it wasn't something I was going to manage for them. Breakfast - There are lots of differing opinions about eating breakfast in the morning. In our house, I always had breakfast available for a certain period of time (e.g. 7:00-7:40 am). This allowed me to have things cleaned up and put away before we had to leave for school. I deeply believe that a hungry belly is the best teacher when you want kids to learn to eat right. Their brain will start to connect the dots of, “I was hungry today, and it didn't feel good. So I'm going to eat my breakfast tomorrow.”Most young kids also end up having some kind of snack early in the day, so they likely won't be hungry for long. If you're really concerned about your kid eating because they need to take medication that requires food, etc., you can have a granola bar or smoothie set up that they can eat in the car. Jackets - If you live somewhere with cold weather, and your child needs a jacket, don't overthink it. It can get clumped in with putting on socks and shoes. Often my kids would come home with their sweatshirts in their backpacks (we live in California, so not a lot of cold weather), so I would have them keep the sweatshirt near the backpack so it was ready to go the next day.Why The 5 Things WorksThe biggest thing I like about The 5 Things is that it requires kids to do their own thinking.

Ever worked with a leader who treated everything as "urgent" until nothing felt important anymore? In this conversation with Drew Lints, founder of Revflow Growth Partners, Cam and Otis explore the human side of business systems and how the right tools can actually help leaders care for their people better."At the end of the day, we want to accomplish the thing that I was so bad at early on—keeping track of everyone, making sure that they're cared for," Drew explains, revealing how his own leadership journey shaped his approach to CRM and business systems.From discussing the fine line between genuine urgency and manufactured pressure to exploring alternatives to expensive enterprise solutions like Salesforce and HubSpot, this episode offers practical insights for leaders looking to grow without losing the human connection. Drew shares how simple tools—even just an Excel spreadsheet with names and personal details—can transform how leaders engage with their teams and clients.Whether you're scaling a business, leading a team, or just trying to bring more intentionality to your work, Drew's approach to "efficiency creates clarity, and clarity unlocks growth" offers a refreshing perspective on how technology can enhance rather than replace human connection.More About Drew:I help organizations unlock growth by building smarter systems, clearer strategies, and more efficient workflows. As Founder & CEO of Revflow Growth Partners, I bring over 25 years of experience in coaching, consulting, and revenue leadership.My journey began in 1999, leading people, building teams, and driving mission-focused growth. Those years shaped my passion for aligning vision with strategy and creating systems that help people flourish.In 2023, I launched Revflow to scale that mission. Today, we design CRMs, automations, and growth systems that eliminate waste, create clarity, and drive lasting results. I also provide fractional CRO services, helping companies accelerate revenue and scale without the cost of a full-time executive.At my core, I believe efficiency creates clarity, and clarity unlocks growth.#10xyourteam #LeadershipWithHeart #HumanCenteredGrowth #BusinessSystems #TeamEngagement #IntentionalLeadership #EfficiencyUnlocksGrowth #ClarityInAction #SmartWorkflows #LeadWithPurpose #ScalingWithCareChapter Times and Titles:The Technology Struggle Is Real [00:00 - 05:00]Cam's equipment troubles and planning lessonsIntroduction to Drew Lints and RevflowSetting the stage for systems discussionFinding the Balance in Urgency [05:01 - 15:00]The challenge of determining what's truly urgent"I'm always everything is urgent" - Drew's honest admissionHow leaders can better prioritize for their teamsKeeping Track of Everyone [15:01 - 25:00]Drew's early leadership strugglesFrom simple spreadsheets to robust CRMsThe core purpose: making sure people are cared forRight-Sized Tools for Growth [25:01 - 35:00]Alternatives to expensive enterprise solutions"They cost a lot and they have a lot of stuff that as a small business you don't need"Finding the right tool for your specific situationWhen Systems Meet Ego [35:01 - 45:00]The irony of mission-focused leaders getting wrapped up in themselvesHow good systems can keep the focus on peopleBalancing process with purposeConnecting with Revflow [45:01 - End]RevflowPartners.io introductionHow to schedule time with DrewFinal thoughts on creating systems that serve peopleDrew Lintshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/drew-lints-45bb9045/https://revflowpartners.io/

Whether you realize it or not, you are a creator—and in today's world, embracing that identity is non-negotiable if you want to build a thriving business.In this episode of Passionate & Prosperous, I'm breaking down why every coach, expert, and service provider needs to step into their creative power—not just in the traditional “artistic” sense, but in how you communicate, share your message, and create offers that attract the right clients.Right now, we are living in what's known as the Creator Economy, where visibility, impact, and success come from your ability to create content, messaging, and experiences that connect with your audience.

Whether it's messaging, offers, workshops, or free content, you need to turn your expertise into something tangible that your audience can experience.Inside This Episode, You'll Learn:Why every entrepreneur is part of the Creator Economy (whether you like it or not!)How to shift your mindset from “I'm not creative” to “I create valuable things every day”The biggest mistake coaches & service providers make when trying to market themselvesHow to create content & messaging that attracts and converts clientsThe role of storytelling and authenticity in making your work stand outWhy being a creator doesn't mean being on social media 24/7 (and what to focus on instead!)If you've been feeling frustrated by content creation, marketing, or putting yourself out there—this episode will completely shift how you see your role as a business owner.Get Full Show Notes, Event Sign Ups and More Information Here:http://www.staceybrassrussell.com/podcast

When it comes to leadership, there's a lot of focus on the skills and qualities that make a great leader, but what's often overlooked is the importance of commitments that leaders make to themselves. To truly lead others, you must first lead yourself. And that means making commitments to yourself. These commitments are the foundation upon which all other leadership skills are built, and they're what set powerful leaders apart from the rest.In this episode, we talk about:A reflection on how we can apply toltec wisdom to grow as leaders and entrepreneurs (Reference: The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz)Why you should strive to “do your best” in business and why that may not look the way you think it shouldThe four sacred commitments that every leader must make to themselvesHow to become aware of and accept who you are as a leader and how you are designed to leadThe importance of self-accountability, how it differs from being held accountable and how to develop or strengthen this habitThe different types of decision-making authority, how to identify yours and understand the role it plays in growing and sustaining your business Resources:Free Human Design Core Four Success FormulaTM ReportThe CEO's Guide to Using Human Design for Sustainable Business GrowthTurning Challenges Into Business Opportunities with Human Design

In today's episode, we delve into the transformative power of self-compassion in leadership with our recurring guest, Massimo Backus—an esteemed executive coach and author of Human First, Leader Second. Together, Andy and Massimo explore why self-compassion is a vital, yet often overlooked, skill for effective leadership, challenging the traditional emphasis on emotional toughness.Massimo, who has been on the podcast multiple times, brings fresh insights from his new book and shares practical frameworks for incorporating self-compassion into daily leadership practices. They discuss:The challenges leaders face in being kinder to themselvesHow this mindset shift can improve long-term resilience and team dynamicsThe importance of mindfulness, creating mental space, and balancing professional decorum with authenticityThis episode is packed with actionable advice, real-life examples, and the latest research to help leaders at all levels enhance their well-being, performance, and relationships within their organizations. So, whether you're managing a team or trying to navigate your own career journey, this episode offers invaluable tools for driving sustainable success through self-compassion.Massimo built his successful executive coaching practice based on the radical idea that self-compassion is a leadership epiphany. It is radical because it is in direct opposition to the traditional leadership orthodoxy that you have to become less of a human to be a better leader. Now through his coaching practice, group facilitation, speaking and the launch of his upcoming book Human First, Leader Second, Massimo is taking his message of self-compassion to the C-suites of the Fortune 1000.Connect with Andy Storch:WebsiteLinkedInJoin us in the Talent Development Think Tank Community!Join us at the Talent Development Think Tank ConferenceConnect with Massimo Backus:LinkedInWebsite
