  • Essential listening for anyone serious about defeating mediocrity and achieving excellence

    Adam absolutely crushed it with the Klaus Kleinfeld episode on "Leading to Thrive" - as someone building AI sales tools, that conversation about energy management and performance zones hit me right where it counts. Klaus's insights from leading two Fortune 500 companies on different continents combined with Adam's thoughtful follow-up questions in the "Overtime with Outland" segment shows exactly the kind of high-caliber content this show delivers.
