Number 1: 3 Childish Instincts I Still Need to Outgrow
Growing older is automatic. Growing up isn't. I've noticed there are a few childish instincts I still haven't completely grown out of. I’m just better at hiding them now. 😂 In this episode, I unpack three: I want it now. What about me?! I'm telling! They show up differently as adults—in impatience, comparison, envy, gossip, and avoiding hard conversations—but the instincts aren't all that different. Maybe maturity isn't getting to the point where those instincts disappear. Maybe it's getting better at recognizing them when they show up—and learning not to let them drive. Because growing older is automatic. Growing up isn't.

We've all done it: said yes before we even finished thinking, then immediately regretted it.

Number 5: Your One-on-Ones are Probably Broken
Most leaders run one-on-ones every week. Almost none of them run one-on-ones their people actually want to show up to. The problem isn't effort — it's a fundamental mismatch: you think you're running a status meeting. Your direct report came hoping for something else entirely. In this episode, Adam and Clay break down why the most powerful recurring meeting on your calendar is also the most wasted one — and what to do about it. You'll learn the difference between a status meeting and a trust meeting, what your direct reports actually need from 30 minutes with you, and a handful of small shifts that turn a hollow check-in into the best meeting of someone's week. This podcast is produced by Sound of a Rose.
