We’re breaking down two leadership essentials: trust and delegation. We’ll talk about what trust really means, how to earn it, and what to do when it’s shattered. Then, we’ll explore how to delegate like a pro—letting go without losing control, empowering others, and steering clear of micromanagement. Whether you're leading a team or leveling up personally, this conversation is packed with real-world insights and practical strategies to help you build stronger relationships and become a more effective leader.
Get ready for a powerhouse episode with Sam Kabert – a former Silicon Valley go-getter who ditched the grind to become a champion of mental health. Named to the prestigious 40 Under 40 list at just 31, Sam shares how he traded hustle culture for true fulfillment, diving deep into the world of breathwork and life balance. Now a certified breathwork practitioner, bestselling author, and keynote speaker, Sam’s on a mission to help people conquer overwhelm and lead with heart.
This episode unpacks Sam’s personal transformation and digs into how entrepreneurship and mental health go hand-in-hand. Whether you’re chasing success or searching for inner peace, this conversation is packed with real talk, inspiration, and actionable insights. And don’t miss the exciting announcement – Jon and Will are launching a nine-week meditation course on October 6th to help you build deeper mindfulness practices.
Tune in for a raw, eye-opening episode that challenges the hustle mindset and offers a fresh take on what it means to truly thrive!
