We’re often told to stop overthinking — especially in high-pressure professional situations.

But what if the problem isn’t the thinking itself?

In this episode, I share a real leadership conversation that reframed “overthinking” as an unassessed signal rather than a flaw. When potential risks are ignored instead of examined, they don’t disappear — they create cognitive drag, hesitation, and quiet discomfort with our decisions.

This is a reflection on how experienced leaders can move forward more cleanly by allowing what’s being flagged to be acknowledged, assessed, and resolved — rather than dismissed.

What makes a small business truly massive—withoutbecoming big?

In this conversation, Chip Higgins, author of The BizzicsWay, breaks down how principles from physics can explain business success. Drawing on decades of experience in banking and advising entrepreneurs, Chip explores momentum as the real driver of growth, why mass has more to do with density than size, and how leadership, character, and connection sit at the core of every resilient business.

We discuss why differentiation matters more than branding,how small business owners can build real weight in crowded markets, and what it takes to scale without losing purpose. This episode is a grounded, practical look at building businesses that last—by strengthening what’s at the nucleus.
