About the show

Success in life, in business, and in your career is not determined by intelligence, speed, or strength, but rather, by how adaptable you are to change. Agility & elasticity reign supreme and adaptability quotient (AQ) is perhaps more powerful than IQ and EQ combined. On this podcast, we're searching for the most adaptable human beings in business, often found leading technology change, customer experience, and reform efforts in organizations on their way to creating the future of work. Sponsored by Catch Advisors - Adapt Faster. Transform Smarter.

Zero Trust IRL

In this episode, I dive into the essence of trust, sparked by an unexpected encounter at the Austin marathon.

From the scarcity of genuine connections to the importance of building solid, trustworthy relationships, I share insights and a "trust checklist" to navigate personal and professional alliances. It’s about choosing who stands beside us, not just across from us.
