    How to Say What No One Else Will

    Every leader eventually faces this challenge: noticing something others don’t—and deciding whether to say it out loud. In this episode, Adam and Clay unpack why helping people see their blind spots is both one of the hardest and most important things leaders do. Drawing from voices like Daniel Goleman, Patrick Lencioni, Kim Scott, and the Crucial Conversations framework, they explore why awareness is the on-ramp to growth and why so many leaders hesitate to start these conversations. If you care about someone’s growth, you owe it to them to speak up—with kindness, clarity, and curiosity.

    What Worked Over There Won’t Work In Here

    Ever played the party game Green Glass Door? The rules keep changing, and the fun comes from watching people struggle to figure them out. Your career works the same way. The skills that made you successful early on—working hard, delivering results, and being dependable—will only take you so far. At some point, you cross The Edge, an invisible line where the rules shift. On the other side of The Edge, winning isn’t about technical proficiency anymore. It’s about relational savvy—your ability to make decisions, navigate diplomacy, and get things done through others. In this episode, Adam unpacks the two games of a career, why the transition is so confusing, and how to avoid getting stuck playing by the wrong rules. Drawing on timeless wisdom from Dale Carnegie, you’ll learn practical ways to bring calm, energy, and influence into your leadership. If you’ve ever wondered why working harder isn’t working anymore, this conversation will show you how to play (and win) the new game.

    Why Live Learning Still Works

    Live learning isn’t just another way to consume content, it’s an experience that commands attention, personalizes the message, and accelerates team momentum. Unlike books or podcasts, a live session meets your people in the moment, speaks directly to their challenges, and creates a shared language that sticks long after the event. For senior leaders, it’s one of the few investments that can deliver six months’ worth of trust, clarity, and alignment in a single day.

    The Frank Blake Leadership Playbook

    What makes a leader unforgettable? In this episode, Adam and Clay reflect on a quiet moment in an airport lounge with former Home Depot CEO Frank Blake—and what it revealed about the kind of leadership that truly lasts. Instead of holding court, Blake was asking questions, listening intently, and showing up with presence. They break down three simple (but rare) behaviors: staying curious when it’s easier to assume, showing up with presence instead of position, and building a legacy through small, consistent actions that make people feel seen. You’ll walk away challenged to lead like Frank Blake—not by being loud, but by being curious.

    Are Questions a Form of Control? Rethinking Curiosity in Leadership

    “Just ask more questions.” It’s classic leadership advice — but what if it doesn’t land the way you think? In this episode, we unpack a tension that’s come up again and again, especially with younger Millennials and Gen Z: Questions can build trust, open doors, and deepen connection — but when they feel forced, transactional, or performative, they do the opposite. We’ll explore: Why the best leaders still ask great questions — but never to manipulate. What younger employees are really pushing back on when they say, “Don’t interrogate me.” Four practical ways to make your questions feel authentic, not artificial. How to match your curiosity to the moment — whether you’re building rapport, coaching, or holding someone accountable. A simple gut-check to make sure you’re asking to connect, not control. Closing challenge: Before you ask your next big question, ask yourself: Do I really want to know the answer? Then pick one relationship this week and ask a better, braver question — and actually listen to what comes next.
