Are you a fan of the TV show, Succession? It’s a show about an aging and tyrannical patriarch who is a media mogul and heads an international media conglomerate that’s controlled by him and his family. As someone who has worked with multi-generational business families, I can tell you that the show may be a parody. But there are some painful realities, including what are often multiple attempts to take over, either from outside forces or from other family members. The question becomes, does being born into a family business mean you are going to be good at business?  Moreover, does it mean you will automatically be a good leader? Furthermore, if you do get to have succession and then you discover you are a bad leader, can you come back from it? If so, how?  Our guest on the next two episode is Warwick Fairfax. Warwick lost his family's 150-year-old media dynasty, worth $2.25 billion. Yet, he has emerged to lead a more fulfilling and significant life helping others move beyond their failures and setbacks. Today, Warwick Fairfax is the founder of Crucible Leadership. He’s the host of the Beyond the Crucible podcast and the author of the bestselling book, Beyond the Crucible: Embrace Your Trials to Lead a Life of Significance.  Warwick is the phoenix who has risen from the flames of his own ego as a better human.

Humans have a propensity to think in absolutes. For instance, fire the team member or keep them? Get divorced or have a baby? Consider this, the profound and innovative technologies tend not to be either or, but rather AND based instead.  Who can we look too? Who can teach us an AND way of thinking, particularly when confronting the really big questions, the really big problems we face? You may love or hate people like Elon Musk, Richard Branson, or Jeff Bezos, but as a leader, you likely do want to know what drives them to extraordinary heights? One thing is certain, these individuals tend to be solution-based not in an either-or but very much in an AND way. So, let me ask you, do you know what or who got someone like Jeff Bezos to even think about big problems, particularly in an AND way? The answer may surprise you. It is a man who very few people today would even recognize the name of, a man who our guest today has made a fascinating movie about. The gentleman I’m referring to has inspired everyone from Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk to Star Trek creator, Gene Rodenberry.  A man who, when you watch this movie, ‘The High Frontier,’ may change your entire understanding of the possibilities and value of the new space race. Our guest on the next two episode is Will Henry, Producer at Multiverse Media. Will is a Filmmaker and Writer based in Los Angeles, CA.  Born and raised in Princeton, NJ, Will later attended the School of Visual Arts in New York City as a Directing/Screenwriting double major where he graduated top of his class. Will began his career in development at Tribeca Film under Jane Rosenthal and Robert De Niro, and later as a Creative Executive at Cindy Cowan Entertainment. Will Henry then moved into the independent film industry as a Filmmaker and Writer shortly after relocating to Los Angeles, CA. He is the Senior Producer at Multiverse Media and has gained recognition for his first feature documentary film, The High Frontier: The Untold Story of Gerard K. O'Neill.

What if you could up-level your business by taking more time off? What, has Dov gone crazy? No, I haven’t! What if you knew how to strategically take more time off from your business and it made your business become stronger? We all know the horror stories from entrepreneurial friends who speak about 80-hour weeks, 51 ½ weeks a year. If you're already an entrepreneur, that may be exactly how you are living. It may seem like there are no other options.
