What do you do when your CFO calls on Sunday night to say you’re filing for bankruptcy in the morning?
Tim Butchart reveals how he led through chaos, kept every customer, and turned crisis into growth.

Why “everything is a service” changes how you lead teams and retain talent.
How to survive PE-backed growth expectations without burning out your culture.

In this episode Rebecca Jenkins and Callum Jenkins talk with Dr. Mira Brancu, leadership advisor, licensed psychologist, and CEO of Towerscope, to explore how and why leadership needs to evolve.
Mira has over 20 years’ experience helping technical experts transition into leadership roles, navigate complex organisations, and build trust in challenging environments.
Mira is the author of Millennial’s Guide to Workplace Politics and host of The Hard Skills Podcast, where she focuses on the intersection of leadership, behavioural science, and organisational psychology.
Together, we dive into:
Toxic vs. healthy cultures - what the warning signs look like and how to intervene early.
Psychological safety - why it’s the cornerstone of innovation and high performance.
The leadership skill most leaders struggle with right now - and how to improve it.
Introvert vs. extrovert leadership - busting the myths and understanding their unique strengths.
Humility and confidence - finding the balance between approachability and authority.
How to rebuild trust in a team - after conflict, politics, or organisational trauma.
Mira also shares her pivotal career moment, in being asked to lead a “toxic and hostile” workplace early in her career and the lessons that shaped her approach to leadership ever since.
If you’re a leader navigating change, wanting to engage your team more deeply, or curious about how leadership styles need to shift now, this conversation will challenge and inspire you.

We dive deep with Mike Mears, Leadership Theoretician, former GE change-agent under Jack Welch, and ex-CIA Chief of Human Capital.
Mike Mears reveals the neuroscience backed rituals and intelligence inspired frameworks that clear away uncertainty, sharpen your focus, and unleash your team’s full potential.
From GE’s “Workout” sessions to CIA secure briefings, Mike unpacks his three-pillar “Certainty” method.
Mike shares the mindset pivots that turn cautious managers into bold innovators, and the battlefield lessons of building true psychological safety, even in the most critical situations.
Tune in to discover how these proven insights can elevate your leadership, strengthen your culture, and drive transformative results, starting today.
GE’s “Workout” Revelation:
CIA’s Safe-House Confession:
Military Roots & Dual-Engine Leadership:
Certainty Overrides Fear
Our primitive “survival” wiring clings to the status quo. Weekly 5-minute, agenda-free check-ins and timely praise rewire brains toward confident change.
Psychological Safety as a Secure Briefing Room
In covert ops, absolute trust saves lives. In business, it unleashes candid feedback and breakthrough ideas. Start small, smile at every team member, ask one open-ended question, then listen.
Insight Prompts: Your CEO “Ask”
Inspired by CIA Director's, assign each direct report a single, high-stakes question. Give them a week to reflect, and then collect ten ideas back. Dopamine-driven “aha” moments follow.
The Dual-Engine Model: Drive + Empathy
Military toughness and modern leadership demands both relentless mission focus and genuine concern for people’s well-being.
“Great bosses don’t force change; they engineer certainty so teams feel safe innovating.”
“You don’t need all the answers, just the right questions and the space for insights to emerge.”
“Pair relentless drive with real empathy, then watch your people follow you anywhere.”
Implement CIA-Style Check-Ins: Five-minute, no-agenda chats each week with every direct report: What’s top of mind? How can I support you?
Rotate Your Ops: Structure work into three phases, core execution, innovation sprint, and recovery to maintain peak performance and morale.
Launch an Insight Prompt: Give each team member one strategic question, set a deadline, reconvene for accountability and harvest high-impact ideas.

Confidence is built by doing the hard things, and real leadership starts with self-leadership.

“You don’t need to react. You need to respond. That’s where the breathwork, the pause, the clarity, it all comes in.”
“You may not know your full purpose today, but your soul should leave this life better than it entered.”
