I learned early on that being a leader meant getting comfortable with the weight of the world constantly on your shoulders. It's a truly lonely row to hoe, but there's a critical difference in feeling lonely versus feeling like you're alone. You're not - and you should never be. I'll talk you through it and tell you who is on my Personal Board of Advisors.

2025 has been one Hell of a year already - and I'm not even half way through it! At the behest of several members in the program, I decided to launch a "version 3.0" to focus on building and leading a business that is congruent with your family and your very self as a person. I'm calling it "Entrepreneurial Leadership" and it will be a complement to both the Foundations program and the Working Group sessions. Curio...

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, so I decided to record an episode about a period in my life when I hit a wall. Burnout is real; it's often self-inflicted; and it's usually avoidable. Can you solve it on your own? I couldn't, but I'll give you some insights and a few questions that may help you avoid making the same mistakes I did.

All of us admire tech companies for the products and services they create that make our lives better, and we marvel at their celebrity CEOs who create a company from nothing. While tech company leaders should be highly regarded for what they've achieved, I don't think there's much to learn or apply from their companies to our own. Healthcare service practices are people-oriented, service-driven businesses that ar...
