What Does This Moment Require?

We're living through a time of significant change, uncertainty, and disruption, which makes it easy to feel overwhelmed or reactive. On this episode, I explore the importance of staying grounded and paying attention to what's actually happening, instead of simply defaulting to our usual patterns. I also discuss how asking, "What does this moment require from me?" or "What does this moment require from us?" can help us show up more effectively in our relationships, our work, our teams, and our lives.

The Power and Paradox of Wanting

Wanting can inspire us, energize us, and help us create meaningful change, but it can also bring up fear, attachment, and the possibility of disappointment. On this episode, I explore my own complicated relationship with desire, why we sometimes limit our dreams to what seems achievable, and how wanting more can coexist with genuinely appreciating what we already have. I also discuss how we can become more honest about what we truly want, pursue our desires with intention, and remain open to receiving what comes without making our happiness dependent on a specific outcome.

The Power of Pause

On this episode, I talk with my friend Shawn Vanderhoven about his brand-new book, Pause: How to Lead Brilliant Work in a Busy World. We explore why slowing down is essential for meaningful work, how leaders can create the conditions for their teams to perform at their best, and why intentional pauses are more important than ever in today's fast-paced, AI, distraction-filled world. Whether you lead a team or simply yourself, this conversation offers practical wisdom for finding greater focus, clarity, and impact.

The Human Side of the AI Revolution

Artificial intelligence is changing the way we live and work at an incredible pace, creating both excitement and uncertainty. On this episode, I explore why the AI revolution has so much in common with the mergers, reorganizations, and major changes I've spent years helping organizations navigate. I talk about the emotions people experience during times of disruption, why our humanity matters more than ever, and how we can lead ourselves and others with authenticity, resilience, and compassion as we embrace the opportunities and challenges of this new era.

Tapping Into Our Wisdom

As AI continues to transform the way we live and work, information has never been more accessible. But in times of rapid change and disruption like these, wisdom becomes even more valuable. On this episode, I explore what wisdom really is, inspired by a definition from my friend Chip Conley, and why tapping into the real lessons we've learned through our lived experience can help us operate and lead with greater clarity, compassion, and authenticity in a world that needs more human wisdom than ever right now.

The Practice of Paying Attention

Our attention is one of the most valuable resources we have, yet we live in a world where countless people, platforms, and technologies are competing for it every day. On this episode, I talk about the importance of intentionally choosing where we place our attention, how what we focus on shapes our experience of life, and why paying attention is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves and the people around us.

The Permission to Celebrate

From championship parades and graduation ceremonies to personal milestones and everyday wins, there are many reasons to celebrate. Yet so often, we wait for something big to happen before we give ourselves permission to pause and acknowledge our progress. On this episode, I talk about the importance of celebration, why many of us have a hard time slowing down long enough to appreciate how far we've come, and how making more room for joy, gratitude, and recognition can deepen our connection to ourselves and the people around us.

Why Human Connection Matters More Than Ever These Days

With all the disruption, uncertainty, and rapid change happening in our world today, especially with the rise of AI and new technologies, it can be easy to overlook one of our most fundamental needs: human connection. On this episode, I talk about why connection matters more than ever right now, how it impacts our well-being, relationships, and performance, and what we can do to stay connected to ourselves and each other in a world that often pulls us apart.

When the Best Action Is No Action

We often feel pressure to respond, react, fix, or take action quickly when challenges, conflicts, or uncertainties arise. On this episode, I talk about why sometimes the wisest and most effective choice is to pause, wait, and resist the urge to act immediately (if at all). I explore the difference between intentional non-action and avoidance, the role patience and trust play in decision-making, and how creating space can often lead to greater clarity, perspective, and better outcomes.

Whether We Win or Lose, It's About Perspective

Winning and losing are part of life, whether in sports, work, relationships, or our personal journey. On this episode, I talk about the role perspective plays in how we experience success and setbacks, why losses often teach us as much as wins, and how the meaning we make of our experiences can shape who we become.
