  • Episode 16: The Results Tree | Lasting Results
    Apr 28 2026

    In this thought-provoking episode of The Navigating Leaders Podcast, host Gabriel Griess challenges you to dig deep and ask yourself: Are you living the life you really want?

    Drawing from his new book, The Results Tree, Gabriel explores the powerful concept of results as the clearest indicator of whether your life is aligned with the vision placed on your heart. While goals can fade or shift, results are tangible, they reflect where you’ve invested your time, energy, and focus.

    Gabriel explains that results act as a mirror, offering honest feedback across key areas of life like faith, family, health, finances, and relationships. Rather than judging yourself, he encourages using results as information, celebrating what aligns with your vision and adjusting what doesn’t.

    When rooted in vision, supported by clear intention, and driven by committed action, results become a powerful tool for growth and realignment.

    This episode is an invitation to reflect, extend yourself grace, and continue the journey. Progress doesn’t require perfection, only the courage to evaluate, adjust, and move forward again.

  • Episode 15: The Results Tree | Committed Action
    Apr 21 2026

    In this thought-provoking episode of The Navigating Leaders Podcast, host Gabriel Griess challenges a common belief about success: what if quitting isn’t failure, but one of the most important decisions you can make?

    Drawing from his new book, The Results Tree, Gabriel explores the powerful concept of committed action and why knowing what to quit is just as important as knowing what to pursue.

    He reframes quitting not as failure, but as a strategic decision to stop doing things that don’t align with your vision, purpose, and calling. When your actions are rooted in a compelling vision and fueled by clear intention, quitting distractions becomes essential for living boldly and taking meaningful action.

    Using practical examples and relatable analogies, he highlights why perseverance matters, why failure is simply feedback, and why success comes from staying in the arena rather than striving for perfection.

    The life you want is built through committed action, taken one step at a time, even when the path isn’t clear.
