  • Waste of time

    Just wasted 7 minutes of my life listening to a podcast which is just a sales pitch for the book. Nothing else.

  • Just a constant sales pitch

    I was recommended this podcast by a colleague, and had high hopes for it as it’s the kind of podcast I really enjoy. However, after listening to 4 or 5 episodes (particularly the latest ones) sadly 90% of each episode seems to be a sales pitch for his book, which isn’t even available in the UK.

Why Hustle Culture Is Failing Us | Mohammed Faris
Q: Mohammed, what got you to writing all this? What's your story?

Kieran Read on Leadership, Pressure and High Performance
Q: What routine or habit did you rely on under pressure?

Kieran Read on Leadership, Pressure and High Performance

Read explains Razor's strength in inspiring and painting a future for the squad through visuals and storytelling, which helped the team reconnect to their identity and push for a title after years without one.
Kieran Read on Leadership, Pressure and High Performance
Q: Can you remember the moment you were named captain for the first time?
Read describes the moment in 2012 when he was told he would be captain in Italy as surreal but manageable, and explains that over the years he grew into the role, aiming to have a positive, lasting impact rather than seek personal glory.
The Daily Habits of Mentally Strong Leaders | Graeme Cowan
Q: Tell me why you wrote your book Great Leaders Care and what you hoped to achieve with it?
Graeme explains that the work grew from personal leadership experience and a deep belief that sustainable performance hinges on self-care, caring for others, and helping teams thrive; the book distills a practical framework (the three sections: self-care, crew care, red zone care) to guide leaders in creating healthier, more effective organizations.
