What happens when Chris and Jare skip their pre-podcast chat and press record right away? There's an extra level of candidness and excitement attached to the realizations that come up. In fact, ideas developed organically over the podcast often become major company initiatives down the road. Hindsight is 20/20 and we'll be unpacking what Chris and Jared have learned recently in a constructively critical self-analysis of themselves as leaders. We'll dive into ideas for improvement like referring to values whenever protocol is unclear, and better defining what a leader actually does. Resources!

Who you do business with says a lot about who you are and what you believe. An endorsement of a company or product is also an endorsement of the culture and values surrounding that company or product. Baca and JT unpack what moves them to want to engage in business with other people, and how some of these values apply to relationships with your employees as well.

Some companies invest in leadership training for only the elite few. What would happen if this education were more evenly dispersed into middle-management roles? And what if professional and personal development were part of one shared path, not two? Chris and Jare interview Jonathan Raymond, author of Good Authority and CEO of Refound, a company that is more work culture explorers than typical consultants.

You've probably heard Chris mention that The Third Door novel by Alex Banayan has changed his life and redefined what he believes is possible. It's a novel about Alex's "wild quest" to interview the world's most successful people and understand how they got their start in order to help others get after their own dreams. Chris and Jare got to sit down with Alex Banayan and ask him questions to dive even deeper. This one's great for those who have dreams they are afraid to start, or are seeking clarity about what those dreams are to begin with.
