Asking questions isn't just about gaining knowledge—it's about showing initiative, demonstrating curiosity, and fostering a culture of continuous learning. When you speak up, you not only empower yourself but also inspire those around you to do the same. It's a ripple effect that can transform teams, projects, and entire organizations.

Over the next 3 days, I’m highlighting the visionaries behind my inaugural podcast episodes. Today, I’m excited to introduce Jennifer Yates. What an incredible conversation about people-centric operations. Jennifer explains why focusing on people over processes is crucial for success. And why trust with your team is key before making changes. Without it, new workflows and tools won’t stick. I couldn’t agree more and this is a can’t be missed conversation! In this episode we dive deep into: How human-centric ops is different from traditional business operations. Why the lack of adoption and usage of tools hinders business growth. The key questions you should ask your team to see what’s working —and what’s not. Operations are critical. But when you put people first, you change the game.

The most dangerous enemy of business growth isn't always external – it's the stories we tell ourselves. Want to know why even successful leaders get trapped working IN their business instead of ON it? In our latest podcast episode, we unpack 5 subtle lies that keep talented leaders stuck in the daily grind: 1. The "I got us here" lie - Your hands-on work built this, but what got you HERE won't get you THERE. 2. The "I enjoy doing it" lie - Building a self-sustaining business doesn't mean giving up what you love. It means choosing your involvement. 3. The "perfect handoff" lie - Waiting for someone to do it exactly like you do = never letting go. 4. The "I'm not strategic" lie - Strategy isn't innate. It's learned, just like every other skill you've mastered. 5. The "no time" lie - Strategic work isn't a luxury for when you're ready. It's essential for survival. Which lie resonates most with you?

𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝘀! Episode 1 of 𝘎𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘺 & 𝘜𝘯𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 is released! Originally recorded in March, this episode has acted as a pilot episode in the process of tuning the “spirit” of the podcast. It would be embarrassing to know how many times I have re-written and re-recorded this episode over the last year.  Episode 1 seeks to challenge leaders-to-be, leaders-that-are, and leaders-that-can-be-better to hone the craft. In all disciplines, improvement is fostered through timely, candid, and constructive feedback from discerning observers. For leaders, feedback is rare and rarely timely, candid or constructive. 𝘐𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘯𝘺𝘮𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘰𝘺𝘦𝘦 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘷𝘦𝘺, 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥. In the episode, I share mindsets and tactics I have employed seeking to study myself through the eyes of others, in pursuit of improving as a leader.
