Mid-Week Mastery: What. Are. You. Waiting. For?

2026/09/30

"Not yet” has a nasty habit of quietly becoming “never.” And one day, you may be the older version of yourself looking backward, wishing the person you are today had simply gone for it. So here's your Mid-Week Mastery: Don't ask yourself: “Am I ready?” Ask: “What's one move I can make today?” (music with kind permission by Terra Symphonia "A Beautiful Mind")

Today I want to save you from organizational whiplash!This isn't a theory I pulled out of a leadership book. This was my actual playbook of 7 steps that kept my team's grounded and focused when the people around us moved the goal post.Your daily playbook should be simple enough that you can actually remember it when the day gets messy. Leadership has become unnecessarily complicated. Let’s make it simple again!

Episode 163: Stop Hating Yourself Into Improvement.

2026/09/25

This is about finally ending the war you’ve been fighting with yourself. Self-improvement driven by self-contempt is fundamentally broken. Because if you don’t learn to accept yourself now…success won’t save you later. Let's fix this with 5 easy actionable steps!

Mid-Week Mastery: Constructive Feedback in 1 Minute!

2026/09/23

Episode 162: The Women They Called Difficult.

2026/09/21

If we have been entrusted with leadership, then it is our responsibility to protect both our employees and the business. And sometimes protecting the business means having the courage to question the way the business has always operated. So if you glean anything from this episode, I want us as leaders to stop and examine our own ownership. Because you’re never going to rewrite the rules, change what’s wrong, break a cycle or challenge a falsehood until somebody is willing to stand on principle.

Episode 161: Why Can't We Talk to Each Other Anymore?

2026/09/18

Fewer people seem willing to do the one thing that makes human connection possible: Listen. And maybe underneath all of it is something even more uncomfortable. Maybe self-interest and self-importance have started taking up so much room that there isn’t enough room left for another person. Let's learn how to stop this!

Mid-Week Mastery: Stop Keeping Score.

2026/09/16

Live up to your standard, regardless of what the scoreboard says. Do so much good you don’t even remember doing it. Help somebody and forget about it. Pick up the check and forget about it. Make the introduction. Do the right thing when nobody knows you did it.

Episode 160: Communicate to Enable Action!

2026/09/14

Communication isn't measured by how impressive you sounded. It's measured by what happened after you stopped talking. On today's episode of The Leading Life Podcast, I want to show you how great leaders turn communication into action. How they get communication out of the conference room, out of the PowerPoint deck, out of the corporate jargon and turn it into movement. Because leadership and culture are changing. 3 simple actionable steps here →

Episode 159: Just Carry Today.

2026/09/11

Everything can matter without everything needing your attention at the same time. Constantly carrying something in your head is not the same thing as actually doing something about it. And maybe responsibility isn't walking around mentally carrying your entire life. Maybe responsibility is knowing: What deserves me right now? Let's talk about that today.

Mid-Week Mastery: Don't Be A Donkey.

2026/09/09

Today I want to talk about a concept from Derek Sivers... You don't have to choose your entire life today. You only have to choose what gets your focus right now.

Episode 158: 5 Leadership Struggles Nobody Prepares You For!

2026/09/07

2026/09/04

Mid-Week Mastery: Be Vulnerable to Get Vulnerability.

2026/09/02

I’ve seen these exact traits show up in the strongest leaders... Different industries. Different personalities. Different lives. This episode isn’t about comparison, it’s about patterns. And patterns can be practiced. Let’s learn how to practice these traits together!

Episode 155: What Are You Carrying Forward?

2026/08/28

There’s a great quote by author Alex Haley: “In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past and a bridge to our future.” What does that mean, though? How does understanding our past become a bridge to the future? What I do know is that when we learn the details of our family... their triumphs, their failures, their loves, their losseswe begin to understand something about who we are. Today, we’re going to get into how understanding our past can help us shape a stronger future!
