Scaling fast? That's awesome.

But if your team's burning out, decisions are lagging, and you're not sure if the chaos is even worth it anymore... that's a problem.

In this episode, Mike O'Neill sits down with Jane Gentry — a growth architect with 25+ years helping CEOs turn growing pains into structured momentum.

Here's what you'll learn:

• Why revenue growth without infrastructure leads to a total mess (and how to fix it before it breaks you)

• How to operationalize culture so it doesn't get diluted as you scale

• The #1 communication mistake leaders make during change... and how to avoid it

• Why your CEO voice matters less than you think (and who your people actually listen to)

• The simple mirror test every leader should take this week to stop being the bottleneck

Mike brings his coaching lens to the conversation — digging into leadership, people systems, and what it really takes to grow without losing your best talent or your sanity.

Whether you're leading through hypergrowth or just trying to keep up with demand, this episode gives you the clarity and practical next steps to move forward with confidence.

Tired of the hamster wheel?

In this episode, Mike O'Neill sits down with Markus Neukom — a guy who's done it all... sales, HR, headhunting, government work, and now he's guiding high-achievers who've "made it" but still feel like something's missing.

Here's what you'll learn:

• How to recognize when you've become a hamster instead of a human being (yeah, it's a thing)

• Why that nagging voice asking "is this it?" is actually your soul trying to get your attention

• The difference between quiet, stillness, and breakthrough — and how to access all three

• A simple question you can ask yourself TODAY that might change everything

• How imposter syndrome is actually a compliment from life (Markus breaks this down beautifully)

• The "deconstruction process" that helps you understand what's REALLY made you successful... so you can do it again

Markus doesn't show up with another strategy deck or some corporate BS. He creates space for leaders to think differently. And in that space? Real transformation happens.

Mike brings his signature blend of curiosity and practicality to this conversation... pulling out insights that'll hit you right in the chest.

If you've ever felt like you're running faster just to keep up... or wondered if there's more to leadership (and life) than checking boxes... this one's for you.

Buckle up. This conversation goes DEEP.

Most leaders spend YEARS perfecting their skills…

But completely ignore how they actually SHOW UP.

Your image? It's doing the talking before you even open your mouth.

And if you're not intentional about it… you're leaving credibility, trust, and opportunities on the table.

In this episode, Mike sits down with Mo Lima — a former Fortune 100 marketing exec turned professional photographer — to break down how leaders can use their image to build a personal brand that feels REAL, not rehearsed.

Here's what you'll learn:

- How to audit your image in under 5 minutes (Google yourself… you might be surprised)

- Why front-facing photos build MORE connection than "stylized" shots

- The psychology behind eyes, expression, and trust in your headshots

- How deliberate branding helps your team understand your direction faster

- Why most LinkedIn profiles FAIL at the one thing that matters most

- The exact process Mo uses to help clients discover (or rediscover) who they really are

Mike brings his coaching lens to this conversation…

Asking the kinds of questions that help leaders think differently about how they're perceived — and how that perception affects their impact.

If you've been so focused on leading others that you've forgotten to show up AS a leader…

This episode's for you.

Hit play. Take notes. And maybe… book that headshot session you've been putting off.
