In case you haven't noticed; the world seems to be in a polarized flux!

On one side, there seems to be previously peaceful hippies who are now punching people for disagreeing with them.They seem to find everything offensive and are screaming socialism for all.

On the other side; all over the world, we have the rise of democratically elected autocratic nationalist leaders, telling folks that they, and only them, can save their country.

And then in the middle is the rise of conscious capitalism, The B-corp, those who want to use business for good. Of course, you may be standing on the sidelines thinking, “I’m just trying to do business”.

But is there a way to become more conscious and more profitable?

Well let’s find out together…My guests on this episode is Joe Hudson.

He is passionate about sharing the gifts of this exploration with others.He's a man whose purpose is to improve the self-awareness of humanity through investing in start-ups, philanthropy, and creating transformational experiences for business leaders.

The gender gap is it real or is it rhetoric?If it’s real, are we actually committed to closing it?

As leaders we all know that there’s a lot of talk about the need for gender equality (and inequality). But we also know that there are many folks dragging their heels about the ideas of equal pay and gender partnership.

So we have to confront the question: is this an issue in your organization? If it isn’t, how long will it be before it becomes one?

Furthermore, what’s the cost of gender inequality, and what can we do about it?

Well let’s find out together. My guests on this episode are Chris Steely and Wendy Haines. Wendy Haines and Chris Steely serve as Senior Consultants with The Institute for Gender Partnership training and facilitating the business imperative of effective business leadership. Collectively, they’ve got over 40 years of experience engaging leaders in conversations that inspire them to step up their games, effectively engage their teams, and build companies that work. They have a particular passion for supporting organizations in shifting their culture to one of true gender partnership.

As authors, certified coaches, and seasoned business executives with international exposure to various markets, Chris and Wendy bring unique skillsets, helping leaders make the distinctions that THEY need to make in order to make a difference that matters.

As a leader, should you actually be doing far less than you're doing? "Command and control" is an old song that talent are no longer singing along to… However, on this episode we challenge you to look at; has command and control leadership been replaced with the battle cry of “You've gotta hustle”? Everyone from entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuck to the founder of Tesla, Elon Musk, are all about the hustle. But the question is; will we in a few short years, look back at “hustle” and shake our head the way do at command and control? Well according to our guest on this episode, you might want to rethink the whole hustle thing. Ajit Nawalkha, is a serial entrepreneur, global educator & consultant. He’s gone from sharing a home with 23 other family members in Jaipur, India, to becoming a global speaker all through own experience. From non-profit intern, to a CEO of an international company, Ajit rose up by immersing himself in entrepreneurship, value-based leadership and learning how to double the business while impacting more and more people. Over the past decade he has helped build training and coaching companies to inspire the coming generation, transform entrepreneurs to live on purpose, while enjoying their lives and increasing profits.

He's the author of the bestselling book:“Live Big” The Entrepreneurs guide to passion, practicality and purpose. On this episode we go FullMonty on: Being a Leader of None! “The Passion Conundrum” Finding your purpose isn’t just possible, it’s imperative Why Ajit believes that as entrepreneurs we should not hustle… and that isn’t sacrilege Overcoming entrepreneurial burnout How you can lead your people though values, empowerment and being leader of none That moment in Ajit's life when he realized the goal wasn't what he really wanted And so much more.

We all know that the game of business has changed...right? If you recognize that reality, then you likely know that the saying, “This is how we do it here!” is the death rattle of a soon-to-be-dead company. But, is there a formula by which we can, in a practical and applicable way, raise our game and cultivate a culture that births champions? Well, stay tuned because our guest on this episode is Alan Stein, Jr. Alan Stein Jr. is a coach, speaker, and author with an expertise in improving organizational performance, cohesion, and accountability. He spent 15+ years working with the highest performing basketball players on the planet, including NBA superstar Kevin Durant (who fully endorses Alan's book). He now travels the world teaching organizations how to utilize the same strategies in business that elite athletes use to perform at a world-class level, and he’s the author of the bestselling business book Raise Your Game: High Performance Secrets from the Best of the Best. On this episode. we go FullMonty on... Why mastering the basics is the key to lasting success Why active listening is the #1 tool leaders need to develop How living present is a performance game changer What happened on the morning Alan saw Kobe Bryant working out Learning the difference between the healthy and unhealthy "ego" of a champion The one thing every coach of the losing team says they're going to do (and then forgets) when they win Why micro-management is so destructive How to recognize your own performance gap What knowledge is NOT power! Introverts who are on stage How he came to recognize that childhood impacted the way he had seen money (and viewed people with money) Are you demanding or demeaning (and do you know the difference?) And so much more...

Being an entrepreneur, growing a business, and becoming a leader seem to be on one side, and on the other, there's finding a life partner, maybe having children, and being present for your family.

It all seems like an impossible balancing act, one that every leader has to face where stress and anxiety become an everyday way of living. Attempting to fulfill this juggling act can make it seem like many things are going to get dropped, or that there is no real way to succeed. But what if we’re going about this all wrong?

What if instead of doing more, we actually need to do NOT just less, but nothing? Is that even possible?

The Taboo that hides beneath your business suit!

Leaders and top executives hold positions that convey power, prestige, and competence. However, even if you're flying business class on a long haul flight, you are eating aeroplane food at odd times of the day because you're likely flying in and out of different time zones.

On top of that, it doesn’t take long for the "glamour" business dinners, missed workouts and exhaustion to catch up. Before you know it, the next business suit needs to have a little more room than the last one, and the fact is, that last one was three sizes bigger than the one you bought 5 years ago.

Those same leaders who hold positions that convey power, prestige, and competence often feel powerless with regard to their own weight gain. Did you know that 27 percent of health spending between 1987 and 2001 was attributable to obesity?

The total cost of obesity to private employers is approximately $45 billion per year.

So how can we as leaders, slow down, even reverse this weight gain train from going of the track?

Well stay tuned because our guest today is Adam Schaeuble, PhD. (pronounced; “Shyblee")

He’s an entrepreneur, community leader and host of the top ranked fitness podcast, The Million Pound Mission.

Adam is a man on a mission that started in his home town of Bloomington, IN, where he has created a bootcamp program that’s produced over 35,000 pound of results.

Every leader, at some point, has or will find themself looking for balance. But what does “balance” actually mean, and is it even possible? Well, stay tuned because our guest on this episode is Rocky Romanella. With over 40 years of boots-on-the-ground leadership experience, Rocky Romanella is the founder and CEO of 3SIXTY Management Services, a management consulting firm.

Rocky has the rare ability to see today's rapidly changing business landscape and use that vision, along with his passion for developing strategies, tactics and metrics, to drive desired results.
