The Indispensables

This week on The Indispensables, Bruce is joined by author and host of the Why Lead Others podcast, Ben Owden. They discussed the value of viewing your life and career as a process vs having a binary finite approach of wins and losses and how you can regain control of your career.

In this week's episode, Bruce talks with Anna Mittag, Chief Product Officer at LifeSpeak. She joined the premier mental health and wellbeing education platform company in 2005 and is responsible for all product and client operations. She and Bruce discussed the importance of mental health awareness in the workplace and how companies can be more mindful of it.

In this week's episode, Bruce talks with Mike Smith, a Producer and member of the Lockton Companies in the Northeast. He is also a fellow Pittsfield native, and he and Bruce discussed the Great Rethink and what companies can do to show they genuinely care about hiring and retaining the best people.

In this episode, I talk with Chris Deferio about coffee, leadership, and where they meet.

My guest this week is Chief Master Sergeant Marty Pitt, retired from the Air Force Office of Special Investigations. Marty is a longtime client of mine and just a really fascinating guy. We talked a lot about developing sources and working sources from an intelligence and law enforcement standpoint. I hope you enjoy the conversation.

Join Bruce this week for his conversation with Ryan Jenkins, speaker and co-author of Connectable: How Leaders Can Move Teams from Isolated to All In. During their time together, Ryan shares how he conducted his Gen Z research and loneliness project, along with some of the results. (Spoiler alert: Gen Z is the loneliest! But not by much.) And social snacking...is a thing! Additionally, they explore what worker loneliness means for leaders and employers, the difference between connection and convenience, and the concept of "beneficiaries of labor".
