Ep 76 - Leadership Gravitas with Eric Pfeiffer
How does personal responsibility create a trusted environment for vulnerability? Why should you choose significance over success? What is the mark of maturation in a leader? In this episode, I’m excited to introduce you to my new friend, Eric Pfeiffer. He is the author of Leadership Gravitas and the co-founder of MPWR Coaching. One of the things I really appreciated about Eric’s book is how much the experiences he had paralleled my own. As Eric explains, being in a period of adversity really forced him to look at the world around him and address his blind spots. Throughout this episode, Eric highlights the four different quadrants of leadership: and the importance of taking personal responsibility. Thanks for listening!

Ep 72 - 3 Types of Leaders with Rob Hoskins
What are the three core elements present within every successful leader? Do you value outcomes or influence? Why are all great leaders self-aware? This is part 2 of my interview with Rob Hoskins (listen to our previous conversation here). Today we are talking about Rob’s work regarding the 3 types of leaders and their leadership styles. It is something I got tremendous value out of, and as Rob described it, I could see the difference between them and I actually saw where I fit in. I believe that the more that we know about our own style of leading, the better we are able to interact and engage with those around us, and those that we lead. I hope you get tremendous value out of our discussion today! Thanks for listening!

Ep 70 - How a Leader Competes Every Day with Jake Thompson
How does genuine progress differ from busyness? Do you focus on healthy competition or ego-driven comparison? Which traps do leaders fall into that can make them complacent? Jake Thompson is the author of Compete Every Day, which is also a clothing and motivational franchise. He and I met and connected through our love of books - and I drew much of my ethos for the IDL podcast from Jake’s notion of “how do we get better every day?” Today, we discuss the value of competing and how competition can help structure a leader’s mindset.
