About Michael and Jennifer Petracci:

Dr. Michael Petracci, DC, and Jennifer Petracci, co-owners of Foundations Chiropractic, turned their daughter’s neurological challenges into a mission of neurologically focused chiropractic care. A 2013 University of Western States graduate, Dr. Mike specializes in pediatric and prenatal care with multiple certifications, including Pediatric and Family Chiropractic and Activator Methods. As a PX Certified Pro Doc, he uses INSiGHT Scanning to help kids with ADHD, Autism, Anxiety, and Sensory Processing Disorder.

Jennifer, formerly an artist, became COO after their daughter’s “perfect storm” inspired her to champion this approach. She leads operations and education, helping families discover its impact. Together, they serve their community with neurologically focused care, creating a foundation for health and wellness that starts with the nervous system.

In this episode, Dean Newlund, Michael, and Jennifer Petracci discuss:

• Starting and running a family business inspired by personal experience
• Educating and building trust with families about neurologically focused chiropractic care
• Overcoming skepticism and the challenge of parental commitment
• Balancing emotional investment with the need to let go when families aren’t ready
• Staying motivated and resilient by focusing on positive outcomes and “expecting miracles”

Key Takeaways:

• Families seeking neurologically focused chiropractic care must commit to structured care plans with frequent visits, because only repetition and consistency allow the nervous system to rewire and regulate effectively.
• Educating families about chiropractic’s neurological benefits demands patience and clear communication, since many initially dismiss it as unnecessary or “snake oil” until they personally see results in their children.
• Practitioners need to balance their desire to help every child with the reality that some parents will not commit, which means learning to let go without guilt while focusing on those ready to embrace the process.
• Viewing each child’s transformation as a potential miracle keeps both parents and practitioners motivated, reframing frustration into gratitude and fueling the perseverance needed to sustain long-term impact.

"One of the most important parts of taking care of somebody, from a neurologic perspective, is care planning, and making sure that the care plan is right… It takes repetition in neurology.” — Michael Petracci

"A lot of what I see helps this to work is a trust in the other person.” — Jennifer Petracci

About Nathan Whittacre:

CEO of Stimulus Technologies, Nathan Whittacre, is a visionary leader who has spent his three-decade career at the forefront of technological innovation and entrepreneurship. He is a trusted advisor, mentor, and thought leader in the technology field, and the author of The CEO’s Digital Survival Guide: A Practical Handbook to Navigating the Future. Stimulus Technologies is focused on providing the best technology to businesses, including IT services, Internet, and VoIP. Nathan’s passion lies in helping people better their lives through technology, cybersecurity, and intentional culture.

In this episode, Dean Newlund and Nathan Whittacre discuss:

• The evolving role of AI in business and society
• Balancing human connection with technological efficiency
• Leadership strategies in the age of digital transformation
• The impact of AI adoption on workforce roles and subject matter expertise
• Ethical and practical considerations of AI in sensitive industries like healthcare

Key Takeaways:

• While large enterprises like credit card companies have used AI for over a decade in areas such as fraud detection, most small and mid-sized businesses are still on the lower ramp of adoption, only beginning to see incremental ROI as vendors embed AI into everyday systems to ease mundane tasks.
• Nathan’s company experimented with replacing its outsourced after-hours call center with an AI agent, and although some customers were initially skeptical, the AI delivered faster and more accurate support than humans, ultimately providing a better overall customer experience.
• Leaders must resist the temptation to outsource or automate the very elements that make their company unique, instead focusing on strategically using AI to streamline non-core processes like ticket entry or document reviews while ensuring core functions remain human-driven.
• In healthcare and other sensitive industries, the future of AI adoption will rely heavily on HIPAA-compliant or private, specialized models designed for specific diagnostic support—such as radiology scans—since public large language models are not sufficient to meet strict security and compliance needs.

"I like referring to your ChatGPTs, or Grok, or some of these language models that we’re using, are just really smart interns, very excited and smart interns.” — Nathan Whittacre

About Eric Recker:

Dr. Eric Recker is a dentist, husband, father, keynote speaker, Elite Success Coach, author, pilot, mountain climber, and recovering triathlete. In the second half of life, he’s dedicated to helping others close the gap to their best selves and master the art of living in the moment—what he calls #WINtheNOW.

In this episode, Dean Newlund and Eric Recker discuss:

• Why clarity of purpose must come before achievement
• Using small daily actions to build lasting resilience
• Embracing challenges as opportunities for personal growth
• Staying present and practicing gratitude in everyday life
• Applying the mountain-climbing metaphor to life’s mental and emotional obstacles

Key Takeaways:

• Achievements feel richer and more sustainable when pursued with a clearly defined and deeply personal “why” rather than chasing goals for the sake of appearance, status, or external validation.
• Keeping a daily log of both small wins and the lessons learned from setbacks can train the brain to focus on the positive, build gratitude, and create a more balanced and resilient mindset over time.
• Incorporating simple “micro-resilience” practices—like a two-minute power pose, short mindful walks, or intentional deep breathing—can quickly shift energy and mindset, helping you recover focus throughout the day.
• Exploring new interests through small, low-risk experiments instead of waiting for the “perfect” passion to reveal itself allows you to discover what truly excites you and prevents years of feeling stuck in uncertainty.

"If you don’t know why you’re climbing the mountain, you’re not going to find the answer at the top.” — Eric Recker

About Andrea Liebross:

Andrea is the go-to expert for high-achieving women entrepreneurs. She helps bold, ambitious women shift from thinking small and feeling overwhelmed to gaining the clarity, confidence, and freedom they crave—in both business and life. As a strategic business coach and life balance architect, Andrea believes the secret sauce to achieving big results comes down to two critical ingredients: solid systems and a powerful, expansive mindset. Andrea is an accomplished speaker, the author of the bestselling She Thinks Big: The Entrepreneurial Woman’s Guide to Moving Past the Messy Middle and Into the Extraordinary, and the host of the She Thinks Big Podcast.

In this episode, Dean Newlund and Andrea Liebross discuss:

• Evolving expectations of modern CEOs and their mindset shifts
• Emotional alignment and the role of joy in leadership effectiveness
• Transitioning from operational execution to strategic vision
• Embracing uncertainty as a necessary element of growth
• The influence of clarity, belief, and intentionality in decision-making

Key Takeaways:

• Andrea Liebross presents the TRUST framework as a mindset tool for big thinkers, encouraging leaders to explore their thought options, identify the real problem, embrace uncertainty, secure the right support, and move from passive learning to taking massive action.
• Many small business CEOs experience burnout from juggling every role, making it critical to shift into true leadership through intentional delegation and alignment with both business goals and personal values.
• Long-term leadership success comes from saying unapologetic yeses to opportunities that foster growth and firm noes to distractions, helping leaders conserve their time, energy, and clarity of purpose.
• When faced with chaos or transition, leaders gain power by creating clarity—separating facts from internal narratives—so they can make grounded decisions driven by belief rather than fear.

"Joy comes from believing that you're capable and deserving of the success, not just hustling for it.” — Andrea Liebross

About Ben Katt:

Ben Katt is a transformation coach, meditation teacher, and storyteller. He is the author of THE WAY HOME: Discovering the Hero’s Journey to Wholeness at Midlife. Ben is a former ordained minister and leader at the On Being Project, and he currently provides end-of-life care as a volunteer hospice chaplain and teaches meditation in prisons as the founder of the WITHIN Project. He lives in Milwaukee, WI, with his wife and three children.
 

In this episode, Dean Newlund and Ben Katt discuss:

• The hero’s journey as a framework for transformation
• Spiritual practices for everyday life
• Burnout and inner alignment
• The power of listening to inner whispers
• Societal disruption as a collective call to change
   

Key Takeaways:

• Ben Katt's moment of clarity came during a routine jog when he suddenly realized his high-performing life had become unsustainable, prompting a deeper spiritual reckoning that revealed he was losing connection with his own heart.
• The hero’s journey, adapted from Joseph Campbell’s monomyth, offers a universal but highly personal structure for individuals to navigate uncertainty, confront their shadows, and emerge with renewed purpose and clarity.
• Simple, accessible practices like inward-focused journaling, meditation, gratitude, and even subtracting distractions are powerful tools for fostering self-awareness, healing burnout, and reconnecting with authentic desire.
• Those who face material hardship often live closer to life’s raw truths and may possess deeper spiritual insight and joy, challenging the assumption that inner work is a luxury reserved for the privileged.

"Joy is happiness that's not contingent on something else. It's that stable sense of contentedness that you carry through, no matter what adversity you're facing.” — Ben Katt

About Kelly McDonald:

Kelly McDonald is an acclaimed speaker who specializes in consumer trends and changing demographics. She is the president of McDonald Marketing and has authored four bestselling books on the customer experience, leadership, and marketing -- all from the standpoint of working with people "not like you".  Her book, How to Work With and Lead People Not Like You has been on two bestseller lists.

In this episode, Dean Newlund and Kelly McDonald discuss:

• Working with people different from ourselves
• Trust and psychological safety in teams
• The evolution of DEI language
• The role of communication in collaboration
• Human connection in a post-COVID workplace

Key Takeaways:

• Vulnerability-based trust, which must be deliberately earned and reciprocated, is essential for teams to navigate differences effectively and unlock higher performance through deeper collaboration.
• Using clear, direct, and jargon-free language builds credibility and psychological safety within teams, enabling faster decision-making and stronger alignment across diverse perspectives.
• Although working with people who are different from us is inherently more challenging, those efforts consistently yield statistically better business outcomes, creativity, and engagement.
• As terms like DEI become politically charged, forward-thinking organizations are embracing timeless, inclusive language like “belonging” and “community” to maintain commitment while reducing friction.

"Trust and vulnerability absolutely have to be earned, and they have to be cultivated, and they have to be reciprocated.” — Kelly McDonald

• Midlife can be seen as a chrysalis for personal transformation, offering opportunities to repurpose one’s life rather than succumbing to societal narratives of crisis.
• Viewing friendship as a practice, with intentional deep conversations and emotional openness, strengthens connections and provides resilience during challenges.

He’s also a founder at Machine and Partners, an AI consultancy helping companies identify and prototype AI products, and Personal Math, a newsletter for professionals in their 30s and beyond.

In this episode, Dean Newlund and Greg Shove discuss:

• How leaders must adapt their mindset to effectively integrate AI tools
• The growing influence of AI on coaching, learning, and professional development

• Creating shared AI “projects” loaded with company knowledge enables collaborative problem-solving, faster onboarding, and continuous organizational learning.

About Philippe Johnson:

Philippe Johnson is a retired United States Air Force officer and advocate for principled and ethical leadership in public service. The son of a language teacher and career United States Army officer, he was raised in the United States, France, and Germany. During his 24 years on active duty, Lieutenant Colonel Johnson served as a fixed- and rotary-wing pilot, intelligence officer, and diplomat (military attaché), and was honored with the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, the Meritorious Service Medal with two oak leaf clusters, and the Air Medal with one oak leaf cluster. He also served on the staffs of two Air Force major commands as his final two assignments. Philippe received a bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of Florida and earned his master’s degree in public policy from the University of Maryland’s School of Public Policy.

In this episode, Dean Newlund and Philippe Johnson discuss:

• Defining ethical leadership across diverse perspectives
• Navigating unprincipled loyalty in power dynamics
• Rebuilding trust in a post-COVID, virtual workplace
• Combating disinformation and the collapse of shared facts
• Aligning values and ethics within polarized environments

Key Takeaways:

• Ethical leadership must be embedded in leadership training from the start of one’s career, or organizations risk producing senior leaders who cause significant harm.
• Self-interest and personality disorders (e.g., narcissism) are major contributors to non-compliance with ethical standards, both in military and corporate settings.
• Philippe’s book uses recent political leadership as a case study to highlight the consequences of unethical, incompetent, and self-serving leadership behaviors.
• The normalization of disinformation undermines democracy, as without agreed-upon facts, there’s no foundation for holding power accountable.

"If you're lacking that ethical foundation from the very beginning… you're going to end up with senior leaders who, unfortunately, are not setting the example.” — Philippe Johnson

In this episode, Dean Newlund and Hugh Massie discuss:

• Governance dynamics in enabling or constraining powerful executives
• Organizational resilience in the face of AI disruption and rapid innovation
• Behavioral economics as a tool for sustainable financial performance

Key Takeaways:

• Sustained business success is often linked to a balanced presence of six core behavioral traits, including results-driven, innovation-focused, fiscal control, financial prudence, and relationship engagement.
• When leadership strengths such as vision, influence, or risk-taking are left unchecked—particularly in environments with weak governance—they can backfire and lead to long-term brand erosion and internal dysfunction.
