  • Great podcast for leaders and those working with leaders!

    Dusty’s podcast is great! There’s always something to learn. Even when it’s a topic I’m very familiar with, Dusty puts a slightly different spin on it, which usually results in a “Hmmm, I never thought of it that way!” Take a listen and hear for yourself!

Are You Tired of Being Tired as a Leader? | Eric Collett - E55
Q: Can you share a standout success story from your work with neurodegenerative conditions?
A notable early success involved a dementia patient whose cognition improved from 15/30 to 30/30 within six months through a comprehensive, multimodal intervention, including blood work, hormonal and metabolic optimization, and lifestyle coaching.
Are You Tired of Being Tired as a Leader? | Eric Collett - E55
Q: What does a practical, day-to-day brain health plan look like for a busy leader?
Start with BEDDS—Brain Training, Exercise, Diet, Dental Health, Sleep, and Stress Management—with emphasis on measuring cognitive performance, making small but meaningful lifestyle tweaks, and using higher-frequency activity like short movement snacks to keep the brain and energy system optimized.
Are You Tired of Being Tired as a Leader? | Eric Collett - E55
Q: Where did this passion for brain health originate and how did you end up focusing on dementia and cognitive performance?
Eric explains an evolutionary path from early curiosity in solving big problems to studying brain health through education, work in assisted living, executive leadership, and finally starting his own practice to tackle neurodegenerative diseases with a multimodal approach.
Tired of Your Team Always Guessing What You Want? Build This | AMA #2 - E54
Q: What happens if someone doesn't match the intensity or commitment I expect?
You can't force everyone to care at the same level; instead, create conditions where higher accountability behaviors can emerge and let the right people rise to the occasion while others self-select out if needed.
Tired of Your Team Always Guessing What You Want? Build This | AMA #2 - E54
Q: How do I share this without coming off as prescriptive or controlling?
Frame it as removing the guesswork for others and as a gift to help them be more effective; walk through it with the team over coffee, add your voice, and avoid emailing it as a static attachment.
