Growth Starts When You Stop Being the Smartest in the Room

Grab a copy of my new book Habits of High Performers here - www.thehabitbook.com


In this solo episode, I am sharing lessons from my recent time in Hong Kong, Singapore and Fiji, and what I am learning from leaders, innovators and real world conversations on the ground.


From delivering keynotes to sitting with the head of Meta for Asia Pacific over lunch, this episode is about mindset, growth and staying curious.


In this episode, you will discover:


  • Why a possibilitarian mindset is a competitive advantage
  • What world class leaders are focused on right now
  • Why staying the least intelligent person at the table matters for growth
  • The truth about consistency and why most people never reach the top


You will also hear a powerful message from a reader whose life shifted after applying the VP decision filter from the book, plus a first mention of an invite only high performance retreat coming in 2026.


If you have been running fast or searching for clarity, this episode will help you slow down, think bigger and lead on purpose.
