Meditate daily or workout daily? | Ep 379 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Would you rather meditate daily or workout daily? That's the question we recently discussed with Kristina Gent, CEO at SIX° Connections. Kristina chooses lifting weights. It makes her feel strong, gives her mind a break, and becomes its own form of meditation. There is a useful lesson here for CEOs thinking about writing a book: clarity does not always arrive while staring at a blinking cursor. Sometimes your best ideas show up while lifting something heavier than your manuscript. Find the activ
Win awards or win advocacy? | Ep 378 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Would you rather win awards or win advocacy? That's the question we recently discussed with Scott Arias, Founder at ACE Consulting Company.

Dave admits fulfillment does not exactly cover the dinner bill, but he still chooses it over a bigger bank balance. He shares that successful people rarely reach the end of life wishing they had earned more. They think about legacy, relationships, and whether they left people and communities better than they found them. For Dave, coaching baseball makes that real. Watchi
Manage global risk or local complexity? | Ep 375 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Would you rather manage global risk or local complexity? That's the question we recently discussed with Barri Blauvelt, CEO at Innovara. Barri explains that global risk does not faze her team. The bigger challenge is the economic cycle. When markets weaken, training and development is often one of the first corporate budgets to meet the red pen. Internal trainers also protect their roles, making outsourcing less likely. For CEOs thinking about writing a book, there is a useful lesson here: your
