In this episode 60 of the Potential Leader Lab Podcast, we're breaking free from societal molds and false narratives that stifle authentic leadership.
🤔 Our Discussion 🤔
I discuss how embracing your existential freedom can become a revolutionary act in today’s world. Drawing inspiration from Albert Camus and my own experiences, we explore why true leadership means creating a better world through our actions and choices.
Join us as we go deep into the importance of living questions rather than seeking finite answers, how to authentically lead in a world that values conformity, and the profound impact of living to the point of tears by pursuing what truly matters. This episode is a call to rebel against the mundane and create a legacy of meaningful change. And, I'll leave you with 5 practical concepts you can take home to start experimenting and evolving as a leader

Perry Maughmer believes the world deserves better leadership; that in every human interaction there is the opportunity to either build others up or tear them down; and that leadership is the choice we make in those moments.
These beliefs led Perry to create the Potential Leader Lab. He wanted to offer those who share his beliefs the space and safety to explore transformative ideas, experiment with new behaviors, and evolve into the leaders they were meant to be and that the world needs.
This is a framework he has used again and again with his Vistage peer advisory groups and companies like Turn-Key Tunneling, Convergint, Haughn & Associates, I Am Boundless, Ketchum & Walton, LSP Technologies, and Ahlum & Arbor.
Perry lives and works on the shores of Buckeye Lake in Ohio, in the mountains of northwest Georgia, and on the beach in Anna Maria, Florida with his amazingly creative wife Lisa. They have 2 rescue dogs and are intermittently visited by their 3 wonderful children throughout the year. Perry & Lisa are living life in crescendo and focused on exploring, experimenting, and evolving their vision of a life they have no desire to retire from.
