24. A Key to Authenticity (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you asked 100 leaders whether or not "authenticity" was an important leadership quality, 99 would probably affirm that it is. The one that disagreed would be me. The "just be yourself, speak your truth" version of authenticity functions less as a virtue and more as an excuse to dodge accountability or avoid the hard work of self-awareness. The real question isn't whether authenticity matters, but what exactly we're supposed to be authentic to. Is it our core self, our aspirational self, the e
23. The Russian Doll Effect of Decision Making (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Fresh off paternity leave and running on very little sleep, I'm back with an idea I'm calling the Russian doll effect of decision making, meaning the way every choice we make comes wrapped in hidden layers of time, cost, and complexity we rarely account for upfront. The big idea here is to make decisions with a simple formula: think slow, act fast. By really interrogating the hidden costs and the "should I even be doing this" questions before committing, when you do make moves, you'll be moving
22. Being Both Personal & Professional with Kaycee (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Coach Kaycee is back on the pod for a conversation about a tension that a lot of leaders quietly struggle with: the false choice between being liked and being respected. Leaders who rank low on likability are almost never rated as great leaders, no matter how strong their short-term results look. We spend some time talking about boundaries, breaking down what the "boundaries" really mean in practice: that a boundary is about your own behavior, not about controlling someone else's, and that it on
21. The As If Principle (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There's a conventional formula most of us grow up believing: that we have to think or feel our way into the right emotions before we can act. But the research, and my own experience, points the opposite direction—behavior comes first, and the emotions and thoughts we're chasing tend to follow. It's not the same as "fake it till you make it." Real action, not performance, is what actually reshapes identity over time. Motivation isn't a prerequisite for getting started, it's a byproduct of it. The
20. Positive Psychologist on What Works (and What Doesn't) for Happiness with Niyc Pidgeon (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today, positive psychologist Niyc Pigeon joins me for a conversation about what it really takes to build a happier, more resilient life—not the curated version, but the honest one. We talk about how positive psychology gets misread as "just be happy all the time," when the real work is learning to find something worthwhile even inside the hard stuff, and why practices like gratitude can go flat once they become routine, along with a few ways to bring them back to life. A big thread running throu
