This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for anyone who’s curious about what truly sets successful CEOs apart—and how to grow into the kind of leader your team needs.

My guest today is Patrick Thean, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and CEO coach. Patrick founded his first company in his 20s and landed it on the Inc. 500 list, and for the past few decades he’s been coaching high-performing CEOs around the world.

Patrick and I get into everything from what differentiates successful leaders, to what he’s learned about himself through decades of coaching, to the daily rhythms and practices that help CEOs build strong, successful teams.

Make sure you tune in for actionable advice on humility, curiosity, feedback, and the mindset shift from doing to thinking—insights every leader can use (and a few I hadn’t heard before!).
