  • Leading in the world of AI

    I really enjoyed this episode especially hearing Julian Treasure say:

    “We need to adopt a different attitude towards education, one built on curiosity, confidence, creativity, discovery, and connection.”

    That hit home.

    As both a parent and a high school principal, this is something I think about every day. I want my own kids and all students to have real, authentic learning experiences. Not just sit tests and write essays. I want them learning in a safe, collaborative space where they can be c... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jakara Anthony: What It Takes to Win Gold Twice
Q: What are the hard things in your real world?
Jakara explains that the hardest aspects are the mental challenges—managing fear, maintaining focus, and balancing the intangible mental work with the tangible training; she relies on a strong support network and continuous learning to turn weaknesses into strengths.
Ian McKeown: Why Composure Is the Ultimate Superpower
Q: What practical advice would you give to a young practitioner in this space?
Be brave, stay curious, and prioritize feedback and collaboration; develop the habit of asking questions, learning from it, and using that learning to drive better leadership and team outcomes.
Ian McKeown: Why Composure Is the Ultimate Superpower
Q: How would you describe a lynchpin in that book setting?
A lynchpin is the core connector without whom the entire system would fall apart; it's about building networks and teams where many parts work together, not one person doing everything.
Luke Tunnecliffe: Ed Sheeran Serenaded My Non-Verbal Son - A Family’s Search for Answers and the Treatment That Changed Everything
Q: How did you first connect with Dr. Kyle Daigle and decide to pursue treatment in the United States?
An online consultation revealed a fit, and the family relocated to Lake Charles after a December opening; the process showed them a path forward that led to measurable improvements in Jack.
Scott Galloway: AI Pushback, Rejection and How We Are Utterly Failing Young Men
Q: Is there one piece of leadership advice you pass on the most?
Empathy is the key; great leaders create environments where others win, actively listen, and align incentives so people feel seen and supported.
