History books are full of great leaders who led armies to victory, nations out of economic calamity, and companies to record growth. But those leaders have NOTHING on today’s leaders who must inspire and influence remote workforces. 

That’s why I invited Kim Thies to share her insights on leading virtually. Kim led a 100-person global workforce for PayPal at the time of this recording. Learn from Kim how to build connection, culture, and commitment with Zoom and deep intentionality.

You need equal parts grit and grace to thrive and flourish in your business and career. 

Grit gets through tough moments. But grace helps you to transcend your toughest challenges. 

It’s grace—not grit—that leads to true transformation. Because without giving yourself grace for past screw-ups, you’ll continue chasing your shadows.

Mental well-being is something we all struggle with from time to time. But it’s still taboo to talk about mental health, especially at work. 

Until we feel safe communicating what we’re experiencing, we’re likely to suffer in silence. 

That’s why I’m delighted to discuss mental health with Ahava Leebtag. 

Ahava is the founder and president of Aha Media, a healthcare content marketing agency. Ahava is what you might call a rockstar. In fact, in 2020, she was inducted into the Healthcare Internet Hall of Fame.

But today’s discussion with Ahava is not about content marketing. 

It’s about mental health. 

The importance of discussing mental health. 

Openly. 

Without fear or shame. 

Ahava doesn’t mince words or hold back, as you'll soon hear. And that’s why this episode is so special. It’s candid. It’s real. And it can be the doorway to healing—for you or someone you know.

What’s your relationship with goals? Do you set ‘em and forget ‘em? 

Do you stress out the entire time you’re working on your goals? 

Does setting goals goad your inner critic to annoy you with negativity?

If so, today’s guest will blow your mind with an amazing way to reframe how we approach achieving our goals.

Our health is the foundation for our success. Without health, no success. And if you’re like most of us, we know our health should be a top priority, but something’s always in the way. Our lives are overscheduled. Work piles up. And it’s easy to skip the gym to get one more thing done.

That’s why I invited entrepreneur and healthcare disrupter, Caspar Szulc, to discuss how to be the CEO of our health. 

Caspar Szulc is outspoken about transforming healthcare. His work in medicine has garnered the attention of top medical minds, including Nobel Laureates, top CEOs, Hollywood stars, and best-selling authors. 

This is NOT an episode about why you need to eat more kale. This episode is about dialing in your most precious business asset—your body and mind—so you thrive and flourish. 

ABOUT CASPAR SZULC

Caspar is the President and Co-Founder of Innovative Medicine – a company dedicated to transforming healthcare through an advanced and comprehensive form of personalized integrative medicine. His work in medicine has garnered attention from top medical minds across 6 continents, including Nobel Laureates, top CEOs, Hollywood royalty, and best-selling authors. In addition, he oversees the New York Center for Innovative Medicine (NYCIM), a renowned medical center that attracts patients from all over the world.

Saying no is a superpower. 

Because until we master the ability to say no to people and things that don’t serve us or don’t serve our mission and purpose, we’ll continue to be swept away by a barrage of To Dos and commitments that block us from being our best and experiencing the best.

Think about your life now. How many things are you doing on any given day that you would rather say no to?

Now: think about how much more time, headspace, and energy you’d have if you could just … say … no. 

That’s why I’m delighted to share this discussion with you on how to say no easily and often with Mary Foley.

ABOUT MARY FOLEY

Mary Foley revs up female entrepreneurs with the clarity, confidence, consistency, and community to generate the revenue they really want.

Mary started revving up her own career when she bodaciously ditched her engineering degree for a job as an $ 8-an-hour customer service rep at AOL—back when AOL was cool. 

Today, when she’s not wearing her red cape as a business coach, workshop facilitator, or host of the Live Like Your Nail Color podcast, she’s usually on her bike tapping into her inner teenager on the trails and byways of Virginia.

The toughest conversations we often have are when we need to tell the truth. 

To others. And to ourselves.

Otherwise, we can’t expect things to change. 

Telling the truth is a hard skill to master—but we can get better with the right coach.  

That’s why on this episode we’re talking with Mary Beth Thomsen. Mary Beth is a truth-telling evangelist and has a unique set of skills and abilities that help people to unblock what’s holding them back. 

Let’s get better at telling the truth. Because when we get better at telling the truth, we can get better outcomes and a better way of being.

Dr. Michael Gervais says that we can only train for three things: 

1. We can train for skills
2. We can train our bodies (like lifting weights)
3. We can train our minds

I don’t know about you, but I didn’t learn how to train my mind in school. I didn’t even know such a skill was possible until I was deep in crisis in my 30s. 

But I got lucky. I discovered the podcast, The One You Feed. I learned about meditation, mindfulness, and cultivating stillness despite radically tough moments. More importantly, I learned that these practices could be applied simply and work—if I put in the work. 

I’ve invited the show’s host and behavior coach, Eric Zimmer, to share ways to meet tough moments with a calm mind: a mind that can invite strength, peace, and renewal.

ABOUT ERIC ZIMMER

A behavior coach, Interfaith Spiritual Director, host of the award-winning podcast The One You Feed, and writer, Eric Zimmer is endlessly inspired by the quest for a greater understanding of how our minds work and how to intentionally create the lives we want to live.   At the age of 24, Eric was homeless, addicted to heroin, and facing long jail sentences. In the years since he has found a way to recover from addiction and build a life in which he thrives.  His story and his work have been featured in the media including TedX, Mind Body Green, Elephant Journal, the BBC, and Brain Pickings.

There’s a stodgy form of leadership we’ve all seen play out: the hard-charging executive focused on nothing but results and leaves carnage in their wake. That way of being is “hardwired” into our business culture. 

But another form of leadership invites us to be “heart-wired”: leading with heart, purpose, and a deep connection for our missions and the people we work with and serve. 

That “heart-wired” way of leadership resonates with me; if it resonates with you, this is your episode. 

I speak with Chrisie Scott, an executive leader for a renowned healthcare system, about being a heart-wired leader. Chrisie coined the term, and having worked with her, I can vouch that Chrisie walks the walk on being a heart-wired leader. 

Listen as we transcend the old models of leadership that preached grinding it out, and focused on the bottom line only, no matter the cost to yourself and others. Modern leadership is heart-centered, rooted in purpose and meaning, and leaves a legacy.
