My Quest for the Best with Bill Ringle

My Quest for the Best with Bill Ringle

My Quest for the Best is a business leadership interview show for owners and leaders of small to mid-market companies who want practical, immediately applicable insights — not theory, not motivation, not a disguised sales pitch. The show has been ranked among the Top 50 Business podcasts on iTunes, with listeners in over 50 countries. Host Bill Ringle brings 20 years of executive coaching to every conversation, including building worldwide training programs at Apple and more than 4,000 coaching sessions with tech founders and their teams as they scaled their business. He knows which questions move past the book summary and into the real mechanics: the failure before the breakthrough, the specific constraint they did not see coming, the decision that looked wrong until it worked. Guests are published authors and proven practitioners. Recent episodes feature Nir Eyal on reclaiming attention inside a distracted workplace, Whitney Johnson on developing your best people before someone else does, Ruth Gotian on the consistent habits of high achievers, and Stu Heinecke on growing a small business without an enterprise-scale budget. The show covers every dimension of leading and growing a company: leadership, team culture, sales, marketing, productivity, mindset, and communication. That breadth is deliberate. When you lead a growing business, specialization is not an option, as countless other founders, leaders, and rising stars have shared. At 415 episodes and counting, the library is already built. New episodes release every two weeks.
