  • Building Small Habits

    Every Monday morning for the past 2 years, I have made it a habit to listen to Dave’s podcast. It is one of the best - easy to listen to, I can take learnings and apply them somewhere in my interactions at work that week and searchable when I get stuck. Lots of value gained up by going through the Academy and signing up for Coaching for Leaders Plus.

  • Not consistent!

    I used to love this podcast because it was about leadership. Now I don’t listen to it anymore because it’s false advertising; it is NOT about leadership. It is about just business topics. Some interviewees are very bad quality which made me tune out. Specifically, there was a lady that said that smart career oriented people will do bad work on purpose to get back to their manager knowing that it will hurt their career, which is totally false and contradictory. Sorry Dave!

  • Transformational for My Leadership Journey

    CFL podcast has been transformational in my leadership journey. Dave’s insights and interviews are practical, inspiring, and immediately useful. The show also led me to the CFL Academy, where I’ve gained an incredible leadership cohort and a safe space to bring real challenges and grow alongside others. Highly recommend to any leader who wants to grow with clarity and confidence!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Power of Learning from Peers, with Dev Baldwin
Q: What drew you to the Academy and what did you hope to gain?
Dev wanted access to other high-caliber professionals to learn from, especially people outside his own sector, to gain broad perspectives and practical leadership advice.
794: Build the Resilience to Match Your Ambition, with Jia Jiang
Q: What is the high eyes, low hands disease and how does it relate to momentum?
High eyes, low hands describes ambitious people who can't execute; the cure is to generate dopamine from the process itself by building momentum through daily inputs, relationships, and knowledge, rather than from the imagined end result.
794: Build the Resilience to Match Your Ambition, with Jia Jiang
Q: Could you remind us of the Sisyphus story and how you reinterpret it for resilience and ambition?
Sisyphus is not a tragedy if he has agency and enjoys the work; the idea is to embrace the process, not just chase the top of the hill. If you love the work, you push forward with persistence and see multiple “tops” as ongoing progress rather than a single peak.
790: How to Help a Team Flourish, with Daniel Coyle
Q: How has your view on leadership evolved regarding answers versus questions?
Coyle emphasizes that answers are cheap and temporary, while good questions and the ability to adapt to new questions drive sustainable growth and adaptability in teams.
790: How to Help a Team Flourish, with Daniel Coyle
Q: What is the Building 20 story and what does it illustrate about leadership and space?
Building 20 demonstrates that a permissive, unconstrained environment where people from different disciplines can interact, share resources, and pursue their own projects creates a powerful incubator for innovation and flourishing.
