Loved this conversation, especially the focus on intentional change and the urgency leaders are feeling right now. It helped me reflect on how emotions show up during change, and gave me a mindset shift I could actually use in today’s workplace.
The bravery episode I was hearing the clogged nose
Just listened to episode #535 - loved the content but almost couldn’t make it through - the nose whistle from this host was distinct and lasted the entire show. I wish I couldn’t hear him breathing but I did the entire time. Super distracting and unpleasant. I enjoyed the guest but probably won’t listen again because of how distracting the audio is here.
