We live in such a skeptical world that suggesting leaders and businesses would benefit from being naive would be considered, at least, a crazy statement to make. However, our guest, Joshua Berry, thinks otherwise.

In today's episode, Joshua Berry highlights the benefits of being purposefully and openly naive and how it can change how we see business, leadership, and personal and professional relationships. Joshua is the Co-founder and Managing Director of Econic, an innovation, transformation, and strategy consulting company, and the Author of "Dare to Be Naive: Unleash Ripples of Impact in Life and Business."

We had a fantastic conversation about how leaders can instill and encourage innovation within an organization and the results they can expect from it. We also explore Joshua's soon-to-be-published book, what inspired him to write it, how being naive can enhance our health, increase ROI, develop and nurture a company's culture, and much more.

Tune in to Episode 371 of Becoming Your Best and learn how daring to be naive can transform your life.
