“P&L stands for people and legacy as much as it stands for profit and loss.”

In this episode, Steve Sargent, Chair of C12 South Florida, joins Kate Volman to talk about why accountability is the ultimate gift to high-level leaders, why “integration” beats “work-life balance,” and how purpose-driven peer forums help CEOs scale without losing their souls. Steve shares insights from fresh peer-group conversations and research, explains C12’s “do > talk” ethos, and shows how identity and mission become the lens for better decisions, healthier teams, and durable growth.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• How purpose and identity create the lens for disciplined, people-first decisions
• Why accountability and peer community accelerate clarity, courage, and follow-through
• A practical path from “work-life balance” to integrated living (and why it matters for your team)
