Episode 101

Released October 6, 2022

Welcome to episode 101 of my podcast, The Executive Edge, with Peg O’Connor.

Peg is a Professor of Philosophy and Gender, Women  and Sexuality studies at Gustavus Adolphus College, Minnesota.

She and I connected because we were introduced to each other, and I invited her on to the show because of her work on addiction. Although I seldom come across someone I would say is addicted to alcohol, I did want to explore the subject. This is because I regularly meet people who are by their own admission, abusing it.

Episode 100

Released September 2, 2022

Welcome to the 100th episode of the show where we look back at some of the things we've learned, but also look to the future. 

Much of what I write about and interview people for, is to promote positive wellbeing, good health and the drive and focus to push ourselves forward in life. This is a skill, or maybe a set of skills and it takes practice. You don’t have to get it right first time, or even every time, but picking yourself up and going for it again is part of life and important for elite performers.
