What does it really take to stay “top of mind” with your clients, colleagues, and team members? In this episode ofDon’t Waste the Chaos, I sit down with John Hall - Chief Strategist at Relevance.com, Co-Founder of Calendar.com, and bestselling author ofTop of Mind. Named EY Entrepreneur of the Year and recognized as one of the Business Journals’ Top 100 Visionaries, John is a nationally recognized thought leader on trust, influence, and time management.

Together we dive into:

• How entrepreneurship shaped John’s perspective on pride, perseverance, and leadership.
• Why trust isn’t a corporate “strategy” but a personal way of leading and living.
• The surprising daily practices that keep him focused on what matters most.
• Why culture experiments often flop - and what employees actually want to feel at work.
• How transparency builds credibility (and when it can backfire).
• John’s take on burnout, balance, and what it really means to succeed without losing yourself.

This episode isn’t just about building business credibility - it’s about becoming the kind of leader people want to follow.
