What if the secret to building a thriving business culture starts with asking yourself three simple questions? This week, host Karl Pontau sits down with executive coach Chris Kenny to explore how authentic leadership begins from within.

Chris, a "recovering lawyer" turned leadership guide with 35+ years of experience, shares the three profound questions that changed everything for his high-achieving clients: Am I living authentically? Am I cultivating meaningful relationships? Am I making the world a little better?

You'll discover:

Why successful leaders often feel like frauds (and what to do about it)

How toxic leadership culture cascades through entire organizations

The daily habits that transform both leaders and their teams

Why redefining business success might be your company's breakthrough moment

How to create workplaces where everyone can answer "yes" to life's biggest questions

Chris reveals insights from working with privately-held company owners who "have all the things" but still feel something profound is missing. Drawing inspiration from people facing terminal illness who reflected on what truly mattered, he shows how to live intentionally around what counts most—before it's too late.

Perfect for leaders ready to move beyond just checking boxes and start building businesses that reflect the best of who they are. Because when leaders do the inner work, everyone wins.
