“Leaders who don't listen will eventually be surrounded by people who have nothing to say.” — Andy Stanley
How well do you listen? 🧐
For every problem you’re faced with — whether in your career, at home, or in your relationships — the answer is always one conversation away.
You have to be willing to speak, but even more willing to listen...
Stephen “Shed” Shedletzky is one of the world’s foremost authorities on leadership, organizational culture, and psychological safety in the workplace.

Shed lives in Toronto with his wife and two young children.
In this episode:
• How to upgrade your career.
• What it means to be a good leader.

How are limiting beliefs from your past affecting your abilities in the present? 🤔
In 2012, I moved to the other side of the world to study an MBA...
Injury, relationship breakdown, and terrorist attacks all struck in what would be the most eventful year of my life.
Last week was my first trip back to Boston since then. I delivered the commencement speech at the 5,000-seat MGM Concert Hall for Hult's graduating students.
In this minisode, we'll go through how I wrote the speech, its biggest takeaways, and how you can rewrite the most traumatic moments from your past.
Onward,
James

In case you missed it: How to Scale Success with Graham Weaver: Ep 200
“We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.” – Jim Rohn
Welcome to Episode 200 of the Win the Day podcast!
To celebrate this milestone, I’ve brought in a very special guest…
Graham Weaver grew up in suburban Ohio, where he would listen to self-help cassettes while mowing lawns. Today, he is the founder and CEO of Alpine Investors, with USD $16 billion in assets under management.
Graham founded Alpine based on the belief that exceptional people create exceptional businesses.
He also teaches a top-rated strategic management course at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business — and his positive and practical social media content has amassed 1.2M+ followers.
What I love about Graham is how he successfully integrates career, mindset, health, and family. He is the epitome of Win the Day and the perfect guest for Episode 200.
Also in this episode:
• The shift in mindset that put Graham at the helm of a billion-dollar business.
• How to stay motivated to do the boring reps.
• What your metric of success should be at the end of each day.
• Why life is suffering – and how to choose something worth suffering for.

"Gratitude is not only the greatest of all virtues, but the parent of all others." — Cicero
One of the most important parts of the Win the Day routine is gratitude. Not thinking gratitude, but feeling gratitude – and there’s a big difference.
Yet, identifying what you have to be grateful for can be the most challenging part.
In this minisode, we'll go through the gratitude hierarchy so you can start to generate more positive energy — and momentum — into your life.
Also, make sure to stay tuned for Episode 200 next week with a very special guest 🤫

James

PS — In case you missed it: Master Your Health with Dugal Bain-Kim: Ep 198
“Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live.” – Jim Rohn
After becoming a parent, the chaos of this new chapter meant my health began to wane...
Much of the last three years has been not just returning to my previous state but becoming as healthy, strong, and energetic as I can possibly be.
Earlier this year, I was introduced to Lifeforce through a mutual friend. Its founder and CEO, Dugal Bain-Kim, is a fellow Aussie who has held leadership positions in finance, management consulting, and health tech across three continents.
Lifeforce was exactly what I needed.
Each quarter, they send a phlebotomist to your house for a blood draw. You are then assessed on 40+ of the most important biomarkers for optimal health, given a virtual consultation with a doctor, and provided with a personalized plan to take control of your health.
Dugal’s co-founders in Lifeforce include Tony Robbins, Dr. Peter Diamandis, and Joel Jackson.
Lifeforce has helped thousands of people with their quality of life – including improved energy, body composition, and sexual wellness – and, most importantly, get ahead of some of the significant health issues that emerge when you reach 35 years of age.
In this episode:
• How Lifeforce is revolutionizing the way we approach health, performance, and longevity.
• Why you need to be proactive and engaged in your own health journey.
• How Dugal joined forces with some of the world’s most recognized people.
• The best business lessons along the way.

“The arrogance of success is to think that what you did yesterday will be sufficient for tomorrow.” — William Pollard
One of the most common questions I’m asked is, “How do I get motivated?”
It’s an excellent question.
When my motivation dips, it’s usually because it’s been a few days since I’ve caught up with someone who truly inspires me.
We all know those individuals — the ones who see possibilities where others see obstacles, who find that one compelling reason to act amidst a sea of doubts.
Their energy is contagious. Inspired, you can then channel it into your own creative pursuits.
One of the biggest thinkers I know is Mark Victor Hansen..
With partner Jack Canfield, Mark created Chicken Soup for the Soul, named “the publishing phenomenon of the decade” by Time Magazine. Mark has sold 500 million books in 54 languages, and licensed $1 billion in products.
He also holds a Guinness World Record for the most books on The New York Times Best Seller list at one time.
Today, Mark is the founder of the Mark Victor Hansen Library, a hybrid publishing company for authors who want to leave a legacy and make a difference in the world.
In this episode:
• How big thinking creates big results.
• Tips for aspiring authors who want their book to make a difference.
• Why most businesses fail.
• How to harness your unique gifts for massive abundance.
