No Rules Leadership "Life is about making an impact not making an income." As a serial entrepreneur, Kevin Kruse has started and sold many successful businesses and had his fair share of failures, too.

He became a student and now shows others how to successfully lead and best manage their time. I speak to Kevin about his company Lead X - Leadership development for the modern day workforce. Built on the back of Watson, Lead X is an AI-powered leadership development platform that allows leaders to be trained and coached at scale.

Work Optional "What a wonderful life I've had! I only wish I'd realized it sooner." Sidonie Gabrielle Colette In today's work culture, we're expected to hustle around the clock.

Regardless of where you are in your career, you can live a happier, more meaningful life, free from the daily grind.

Escape Self-Absorption, Let Go of The Ego Written and narrated by Leigh Martinuzzi We can have everything we want in life by escaping our self-absorption. Everything! It is not that we should deny self-care or self-love. We shouldn’t seek to abandon our search and satisfaction of our primary human needs – food, shelter, belongingness, survival. Self-absorption is allowing the ego to rule and letting it obsess over fulfilling false needs. Here are my thoughts on how we can understand and let go of the ruling ego. Enjoy!

Be More Pirate Pirates didn’t just break the rules, they rewrote them. They didn’t just reject society, they reinvented it. They didn’t just tell tall tales, they told a story that shook the whole world. Pirates didn’t just challenge the status-quo, they changed everyfuckingthing. In this conversation, I chat to Sam about his book, Be More Pirate, and why it is those that challenge the status-quo are the ones that lead to great change. Including how we can all be a little bit more pirate to shake things up in our personal lives or having a larger impact. Whatever your ambitions, ideas and challenges, Be More Pirate will revolutionize the way you live, think, and work today, and tomorrow. So what are you waiting for?

Our Greatest Joy is in Our Sorrow Unmasked Written and narrated by Leigh Martinuzzi Our greatest joy is found in our sorrow unmasked... then there is silence. I sit still. Deep in contemplation.

Rich Sheridan "A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over with a working simple system." John Gall In this episode, I chat with Rich Sheridan about his newest book Chief Joy Officer. From Rich's observation over the years, he saw much suffering in the workplace.

Most of our discussion, however, is around creating happy and as a result of productive workplaces. Rich shares examples and practical tips that we could all benefit from both at work and even in our personal lives. Enjoy!

A More Beautiful Question "Stay curious and question everything." beautiful question: n an ambitious yet actionable question that can begin to shift the way we perceive or think about something - and that might serve as a catalyst to bring about change.

Brian P Moran "Have the courage to pursue your dreams in life." In this episode, I chat with Brian P Moran about his book The 12 Week Year: Get More Done in 12 Weeks than Others Do in 12 Months. You guessed it - a book about productivity and how to get more done in life. However, it may not be what you'd expect. Brian has worked in this field for years and has created a program that revolves around the concept of setting goals within a 12 week period. According to Brian when we remove the annual, longer-term goals and way of thinking and sticking with a 12-week plan we will get greater results, faster. Brian shares the practices and tips for getting you where you want to go. I am sure you'll work away with a bunch of value after listening to this interview. Enjoy!

The Formula = Success In my interview with Albert-Laszlo, I discuss his newest book - The Formula. A book that finally unveils the groundbreaking discoveries of their pioneering study, not only highlighting the scientific and mathematic principles that underpin success. In this episode, we begin by defining success and speak about some of the laws that uncover the link between performance and success. Hard work, accomplishment, being the man with the idea does not equal success. Talent combined with a strong work ethic is not the only key to getting ahead. Albert reveals, with the science of networks, how the community has a much stronger influence what performance equates to success. Interesting and insightful with some practical value to take away. Certainly enough to spark anyone's interest to read his book. Please enjoy and feel free to leave any comments and questions below.
