Demands that can disconnect us from those we care about, and most importantly, ourselves. There's always a new trend in Silicon Valley to help busy executives connect with themselves and have clarity. However, trends are fleeting, this week it's Intermittent fasting, last week it was taking psychedelics, last year it was doing adrenaline sports. All trends go in and out of vogue. The truth is that we can't do a trend with the hope of creating a sustainable level of clarity. What we really need is a neuroscience backed solution to disconnect from stress and reconnect with your heart, your soul and your higher mind. But how? Well let's find out together… Our guest on this episode is Christine Comaford who was named one of the Top 50 Human Behavior Experts to Follow in 2017 and one of the Global Employee Engagement Influencers of that same year.

On this episode we'll talk about: How leaders show up in a crisis, and what you can do when your reputation get's punched in the face. Losing your Reputation can be like losing your virginity.

The Taboo that hides beneath your business suit! Leaders and top executives hold positions that convey power, prestige, and competence. However, even if you're flying business class on a long haul flight, you are eating aeroplane food at odd times of the day because you're likely flying in and out of different time zones. On top of that, it doesn't take long for the "glamour" business dinners, missed workouts and exhaustion to catch up. Before you know it, the next business suit needs to have a little more room than the last one, and the fact is, that last one was three sizes bigger than the one you bought 5 years ago. Those same leaders who hold positions that convey power, prestige, and competence often feel powerless with regard to their own weight gain. Did you know that 27 percent of health spending between 1987 and 2001 was attributable to obesity? The total cost of obesity to private employers is approximately $45 billion per year. So how can we as leaders, slow down, even reverse this weight gain train from going of the track? Well stay tuned because our guest today is Adam Schaeuble, PhD. (pronounced; "Shyblee") He's an entrepreneur, community leader and host of the top ranked fitness podcast the Million Pound Mission. He's a man on a mission that started in his home town of Bloomington, IN, where he has created a bootcamp program that's produced over 35,000lbs of results. On this episode we go FullMonty on How he got his PhD faster than anyone in history What's behind his Million Pound Mission How he lost 100 lbs How becoming a Minimalist has transformed his business life and his family life Black Hole of Fitness Doom Why "hard work" failed him in fitness, health and business. How being an athlete got him ready to become obese Nutritional ADD... do you have it? How he stopped being a "Crap Magnet" His direct connection to HH The Dhali Lama How becoming a Minimalist has transformed his business life and his family life His 4 step plan that anyone can use to get healthy Why you don't need a new diet or fitness program What he did to become debt free in his early 30's that contradicted everything you know about goals His 24 hour challenge that can and will transform your life!

It can feel like an impossible set of choices: leadership or family life. Being an entrepreneur, growing a business, and becoming a leader seem to be on one side, and on the other there's finding a life partner, maybe having children, and being present for your family. It all seems like an impossible balancing act, one that every leader has to face, and where stress and anxiety become an everyday way of living. Attempting to fulfill this juggling act can make it seem like many things are going to get dropped, or that there is no real way to succeed. But what if we're going about this all wrong? What if instead of doing more, we actually need to do NOT just less, but nothing? Is that even possible? Well, stay tuned because our guest on this episode is Rob Dube. He is co-founder of ImageOne, a Top 25 Forbes Small Giant. He's gone from Blow Pops to Forbes Best Small Companies!

Creating Conscious Leadership and Conscious Businesses We leaders come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and varieties; as leaders we are all driven. The questions that we so often skip over is: Where are we really driving to, and why? If you are a highly successful leader or entrepreneur, you have likely had at least a couple of moments where you've wondered what's it all about. You've maybe even asked yourself what the real point is, or why you're even pursuing whatever it is that you are pursuing. For some leaders, getting to the heart of what that question means is a natural evolution, while for others it's forced by a painful circumstance or situation. Nonetheless, we all get there eventually! The question is: What has to happen for you to have the kind of awakening that will transform the meaning of your life? Well, stay tuned because our guest on this episode is Brandon Evans. Brandon is a serial entrepreneur who previously built two companies valued at over $100M, but after experiencing what he describes as a spiritual awakening. His focus has shifted dramatically! Brandon's new company, 1heart, has a mission to foster a new generation of heart-led leaders who are birthing conscious companies, ultimately using business as a force for good to transform lives and the planet. On this episode we go FullMonty about: Facing the dilemma of having all the success, yet realizing he was out of sync with his values Facing the internal battle of letting go How he (and many other leaders) try to do the inner journey of self discovery and fail (until they don't) Heart-led leadership The viral article he wrote, titled: Lost on Purpose What does it mean to be a conscious leader? Is there a place for what some call "woo-woo" practices in leadership? Getting fired by investors from the company he founded (after 3 straight years of 300%+ growth) And so much more...

Can you and I build a culture that improves productivity, performance, and profit...even if everyone's remote? Corporate culture is where the rubber meets the road between leadership and those we lead. Unfortunately, as much as we might intellectually know that, oftentimes leaders don't know specifically what to do to create the kind of culture they want.

Leadership and the Environment Is a conversation about climate change and the environment relevant to you and I as leaders… or is it just the flavour of the day? Environmental issues are part of the everyday news cycle. But here's the big question: If we think above and beyond either side of the discussion (and the environment being used a political catapult), are these issues relevant to us as leaders of industries? And if so, why are they relevant? Well stay tuned because we are about to take a dive into this controversial subject. Our guest on this episode is Joshua Spodek. He's the bestselling author of Leadership Step by Step, and his resume is far beyond impressive! Joshua is an Adjunct Professor at NYU, leadership coach and workshop leader for Columbia Business School, columnist for Inc., and founder of Spodek Academy. He has led seminars in leadership, entrepreneurship, creativity, and sales at Harvard, Princeton, MIT, the New York Academy of Science, and in private corporations. He co-founded and led (as CEO or COO) several ventures, and holds six patents. He also holds five (5) Ivy League degrees, and he studied under a Nobel Laureate. He's visited North Korea twice, swam across the Hudson River, and has even done burpees daily since 2011 -- 130,000 and counting. Due to his commitment to being a leader, he takes 16 months to produce one load of garbage, and in the age of easy access he (by choice) hasn't flown since March 2016. He's the man Esquire's Genius issue called "best and brightest", and NBC said he's an "astrophysicist turned new media whiz". So let's welcome author of Initiative: Bring Your Passions to Life!, returning champion Joshua Spodek. On this episode, we go FullMonty on: Why we need to focus on initiative rather than entrepreneurship Why leadership is NOT about telling people what to do, pushing legislation without popular support, or spreading facts, figures, doom, and gloom Why we must learn to lead AND practice initiative Using your lack of integrity to become an outstanding leader Why you being a genuinely happy leader is so important to loyalty Why it's all about the "little things" And so much more...

Leadership requires strategy, but how do you know if you (or a team member) is a relationship leader, a visionary or a strategic thinker? Have you found yourself wondering how you can tap into the strategic thinking that remains dormant inside your organization?

When it comes to the disruptions of business many leaders seem to fluctuate between "I Can't Go For That" I'm Wrestling with a "Man Eater" through to "You make my dreams come true" Business as we've known it is in a constant state of disruption, which means, we, as leaders have to be constantly shifting changing and innovating. However, many old school leaders want to keep things the way they were, and, all too often, that's a recipe for disaster. So how do you and I work out what we need to hold onto and what to let go of? On top of that what about those who are in business partnerships? How can we maintain long term partnerships that not only work as creative collaborations, but also grow the partners in the process? Can long term partnerships work in the age of disruption. Well, stay tuned because our guest today has been involved in one of the most disrupted industries for 40+ years. That industry, the music business. He's also an author whose memoir, Change of Seasons, was published in 2017. John Oates, is one half of, if not, the most famous music duos of their time; Hall & Oates. John Oates was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2004,[2] and in 2014. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as a member of Hall & Oates.[3] He's the creator and executive producer for the "7908 the Aspen Songwriters Festival". On this episode, we go inside not only the music industry but also what's made Hall and Oates last, while other duo/partnership have fallen apart, and what we can learn from this, as leaders. We dive into The disruptions in the fickle music business and the impact on them (Hall & Oates) and as a duo. The most important lessons he's been able to impart to his son. We even talk about the famous moustache of his and the cartoon series based on it. The importance of mentors in business, in music and in life. What happens when the fame goes away.

On this episode we examine generations and our biases across: Boomers, GenX'ers, Millennial's and a group you may be unfamiliar with who are changing everything… they are "Second-Wave Millennials". Stay tuned…you are about to be riveted! Generational challenges abound in parenting, in teaching, in managing and in leadership. All to often, in working with Boomer and GenX leaders, I hear them talk about Millennials in less than complimentary terms. Saying things like: They have no work ethic. They're not loyal, they're entitled. They're spoilt brats who want to be entertained and have no respect for those who've paid their dues. So how can we as leaders find a way to put aside our generational biases, to get the best out of ourselves and tap into the potential of younger generations? Well, stay tuned because our guest is Warren Wright. He's a leading authority on generations and author of "Second-Wave Millennials": Tapping the Potential of America's Youth. He is Founder and CEO of Second Wave Learning whose mission is to prepare the next generation of leaders for tomorrow's challenges. Warren Wright is a guy who possibly has the most impressive resume I've ever come across. Warren started in radio and television advertising sales, and then in 1997, co-founded Jobfinder.com, which was sold in 2000. He then went on to become Managing Partner at Gallup, where his division provided polling results on Iraqi citizens for the U.S. Army during the Iraq war. It was at Gallup that he conferenced with world leaders such as Tony Blair, Shimon Peres, and Mohammad Khatami as part of a global effort to reconcile religious and political differences to promote world peace through the Co-Exist Foundation, a UK Charity founded by Mohammed Abdul Latif Jameel with inspiration from his good friend Bono. On this episode we dive into: Second-Wave Millennials...Who are they and why should you care? Global data points and how most of what we think we know or expect is dead wrong! How we are in a very predictable crisis period, that gave raise to strong man politics How most of what we need to learn is held by those we ignore the most Why Second Wave Millennials were so supportive of an old guy...Bernie Sanders What's the difference between first and second wave Millennials How Second Wave Millennials are more conventional than the previous two generations. Why they are more serious and use far less drugs, and have far sex than previous generations. Who are the fading pragmatists Why Second Wave Millennials have a completely different time horizon than previous youth How Millennials deal with "Facts" Vs "Opinions" We look at whether there will be a backlash to the Trump era...will there be a "Blue Wave"? and so much more... In 2011, Warren began a partnership with author and economist Neil Howe, who coined the term "Millennials". Wright worked with Howe to build two companies—LifeCourse Associates, and Saeculum Research, both using the knowledge of generational theory for research and consulting. Warren is an accomplished public speaker, keynoting frequently at conferences and corporate events about the impact of generations in the workplace and society at large.

Life after a brush with death… Could there be a Gift from Adversity? Mike Tyson famously said: "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." You can have a perfect plan, you can have perfect execution of that plan, but what happens when the feces hits the fan? Do you crawl away find a hole and stay in it? Or do you allow it to catapult you out into something else… Something bigger, greater than your perfect plan… If so, how can you do that? Well stay tuned because you are about to find out; our guest on this episode is… Marcus Aurelius Anderson he is a bestselling author, TEDx and Keynote Speaker, and Mindset Coach to Leaders, CEO's and coaches. While preparing to deploy with the U.S. Army, Marcus Aurelius Anderson suffered a severe spinal injury that left him paralyzed. After dying on the operating table... twice, the surgeons saved his life, but told him he'd never walk again. Having no other option, Marcus started doing some brutally honest soul searching, looking for the lesson to be learned from his injury. Once he started seeing his Adversity as a gift instead of a curse, something miraculous began to happen... Marcus now speaks, writes, inspires and coaches others to overcome their own Adversities to actualize their personal definition of success. This is a powerful and awakening conversation that will have you reexamine many of your preconceived, most popular and even educated ideas about what real success is. We'll talk about The NDE (near death experience) and how the movies have it dead wrong! We'll confront the inner demons and how to kick ass, choke fear, leverage adversity, and throat punch self-doubt. How the person who pisses you of is probably your best teacher! Why the advice of Marine David Goggins could be fatal And Why everyone who tells you "it's all about adding value" is absolutely WRONG!
