#47 Your Environment Can't Take Your Soul, Only You Can Give It Away: Leadership advisor and author David Lapin on what actually endures (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We've gotten good at blaming the environment. Especially at work. David Lapin has sat with people who kept their humanity intact inside concentration camps and Hamas tunnels. And he has a much harder question for the rest of us. Lapin has been teaching leadership authenticity and vulnerability since long before the rest of the world caught up. A consultant, advisor, and author of Lead by Greatness, he built his entire body of work on ancient principles that have outlasted every management fad, w

Read excerpt
Randall Tucker, Chief Community and Belonging Officer at Mastercard, has been welcomed into palace conversations in Europe and restaurant kitchens at 2 a.m., and he'll tell you the exact same thing gets him through both doors.

#43 How To Speak Up And Know When To Walk Away: With Stephen "Shed" Shedletzky (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There's a difference between sacrifice and torture. Sacrifice is doing something for a known period of time and for a clear end in mind. Without either, sacrifice becomes torture." That's the quote that made Stephen "Shed" Shedletzky quit his miserable corporate job and start the career he actually wanted—which led to 10 years on Simon Sinek's team, a book on speak-up cultures, and a worldview that will make you rethink every "I'll just stick it out" you've ever told yourself.
