If you’re leading a firm and want a practical lens on how to think about AI, this is the podcast for you!

From leading transformations across multiple businesses, one pattern keeps surfacing: the leaders who drive real, profitable change aren’t trying to win a popularity contest.

They’re clear. They’re decisive. And they’re not afraid to make tough calls — especially when it challenges the status quo.

📘 In this podcast, we share the 5 essential traits we’ve seen in the leaders who don’t just “manage” change — they lead it:
✅ Clarity over consensus
✅ Courage to make unpopular decisions
✅ Relentless focus on value

✅ Emotional resilience

Not everyone will like your decisions. But if you're doing it right, your business will be better for them.

In this podcast, we’ve broken down the key takeaways in plain language:
