How rituals, retrospectives and routines make or break execution.

In the final episode of our miniseries on execution, executive coach Audrey Camp explores the overlooked power of rituals and rhythm. How do you keep goals alive beyond the kickoff meeting?

What routines actually help execution stick?

And why is the retrospective the most undervalued meeting in any startup?

Lucas and Audrey dig into how OKRs should be integrated into your team’s day-to-day—not treated like an extra task. They also discuss the danger of over-relying on tools, and why every leader needs to build their own “execution muscle.”

In this episode you’ll learn:

Why the OKR retrospective is the most powerful tool for growth and learning
How to embed goals into your weekly rhythm without adding extra meetings
The difference between tools and muscles—and why OKRs need both
How leaders should use AI without outsourcing their leadership
Why celebrating both wins and failures builds a stronger culture
