In this episode, Al and Bilos welcome John Abbott, CEO of the Satellite Applications Catapult, to explore what it really means to create our experience of life. From his pivotal role at Mimecast to shaping the future of the UK space sector, John brings a unique perspective on leadership, innovation, and the myths we tell ourselves about control.
Together, they unpack:
- Why we overestimate our ability to control external outcomes.
- The underestimated power of creating our experience from within.
- The role of practice and "sacred pauses" in showing up with integrity, even in high-stakes environments.
- How to move from fear-driven decisions to leading with authenticity and presence.
- What it takes to step into the person you want to be—at work, at home, and everywhere in between.
John’s reflections on leadership, the power of choice, and dancing in the metaphorical rain will leave you inspired to rethink where you put your energy and attention.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to lead with courage, clarity, and connection. Tune in and discover how to turn up the dial on what truly matters.
