  • 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!

791: The Messy Intersection of AI, Work, and People, with Joanna Stern
Q: And you took on this huge project over a year to bring AI into every aspect of your life, like literally everything. What motivated you to do this?
The motivation was a mix of curiosity about AI's trajectory and a belief that documenting the real, day-to-day impact would help people understand what AI can practically do in work and life, beyond hype. It also became a way to test and share practical lessons about integrating AI in a thoughtful, human-centered way.

Q: What practical steps can you take to protect yourself and your team when dealing with such individuals?

788: How to Work with Poisonous People, with Leanne ten Brinke
Q: Why do leaders with poisonous colleagues rise to high positions despite negative outcomes?
The host and guest discuss that individuals with dark traits can appear confident, strategic, and charming, which helps them persuade others and ascend into leadership roles even when they underperform on follow-through and team-building.
