About this listen

The world of leadership is rife with information, listicles and re-hashed advice. We all know that we need to have more difficult conversations, be kinder and more empathetic with those we lead, and walk the path of servant leadership. And yet we rarely seem to get any closer to developing ourselves as the leaders we wish to be. Instead, we clutter our brains with more information, enact a new promise to ourselves and those around us to lean in and show up more powerfully than we did last time, and somehow remain running around in circles. There's no shortage of advice available to create incremental change, and they provide exactly that: create incremental change. You get better at doing what you already do, but slightly faster and slightly better. Boring. This podcast will NOT provide you with incremental change. It will expose your hidden genius, unlock a new level of mastery in yourself, and, provide you paths to creating exponential power and growth. Economics Leadership Management & Leadership

    Growth can feel thrilling until you return home and everything tightens again. After a powerful experience of expansion, many leaders are frustrated when contraction shows up, wondering why the openness, clarity, or aliveness seems to slip away. This cycle isn't a failure of the work; it's part of how real transformation unfolds.

  • Ep 394: The Ontology of Political Conversations
    Feb 9 2026

    Political conversations often feel unavoidable and quickly charged. We enter them believing we are simply sharing opinions, yet underneath sits rigidity, righteousness, and a deep attachment to being right. What starts as dialogue easily turns into defensiveness, frustration, and disconnection, leaving relationships strained and nothing truly changed.
