    Why smart people believe stupid things | Margie Warrell

    Spartan philosophy, built in the black-ops lab of business: https://www.findingpeak.com Finding Peak podcast: https://linktr.ee/ryan_hanley Have you ever looked around and felt like the world is going insane? Why do smart, successful people fall for ideas that have no receipts? Why do we stand and applaud things we don't actually believe? The answer is a mix of fear, laziness, and a deep-seated need to belong. And breaking free requires a level of courage most people never develop. In this episode, I sit down with courage expert and author Margie Warrell to dissect the psychology of groupthink and the cowardice that allows bad ideas to fester. We explore why your brain is wired to play it safe and how to build the mental fortitude to think for yourself. I also share a raw, personal story about a major business failure that brought my own worst behaviors roaring back, and the humbling lesson I learned about the difference between being "fixed" and being managed. In this episode, you will learn: The biological reason you choose comfort over growth (and how to override it).How to use "grace" as a strategy to stay in the fight after a setback.Why the fear of being cast out of the tribe is as powerful as the fear of death.A simple framework for judging ideas: "Show me the receipts."How to lead with consistent values when the world demands you follow trends. If you're ready to stop borrowing opinions and start building your own, this conversation is your blueprint. Watch now.

    The 5-Minute Habit That Prevents 99% of Leadership Failure | Dr Michelle Johnston

    Spartan philosophy, built in the black-ops lab of business: https://www.findingpeak.com Finding Peak podcast: https://linktr.ee/ryan_hanley Your leadership style is probably failing. You think you're a benevolent leader, a lighthouse in the storm, but your team sees a dictator. You're so focused on transactions that you've forgotten the one thing that actually drives results: connection. But what if the fix wasn't another 3-day retreat or a complicated management system? What if it was a series of simple, 5-minute habits? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Michelle K. Johnston, a top executive coach for brands like JP Morgan Chase and the NFL, and the bestselling author of The Seismic Shift in You. Dr. Johnston breaks down the tactical shifts every leader must make to stop eroding trust and start building a team that would run through a wall for them. We don't talk about luxury problems for Fortune 500s. We get into the trenches for the mid-market operators, the grinders, the founders who feel like they're doing everything right but still aren't getting the results they want. Stop guessing. Stop the burnout. This is your new playbook.
