    Your Mind vs. Your Potential: Lessons from a Global Ultramarathoner

    How do you break free from the beliefs that hold you back? In this compelling episode, Aish is joined by Jeff Tan, an ultra-marathoner, TEDx speaker, and AI transformation leader at Microsoft. Jeff is also a member of one of running’s most elite clubs - those who have run a marathon on every continent. Jeff shares his personal story of growing up in a culture that valued conformity, and the defining moment at age 17 when he chose to reject his inherited limiting beliefs about who he could be. They dive into the profound psychological lessons of long-distance running, revealing why the biggest barrier to any goal — whether a 100-mile race or a major business transformation — is a lack of courage. Jeff provides practical advice for leaders on overcoming the fear of the unknown, challenging the "wait and see" approach to disruption, and defining a legacy that is anything but irrelevant. This conversation is a powerful guide on how to shed the beliefs that limit your potential and choose a path of limitless thinking.

    The Empathy Deficit: The $8.9 Trillion Problem Leaders Overlook

    Is empathy the most radical act remaining in a disconnected world? In a time defined by screens and social media, we’re more connected than ever, yet grappling with unprecedented loneliness. In this episode, Aish sits down with Mimi Nicklin, a global empathy advocate and author, to confront the quiet crisis we're ignoring: an empathy deficit costing the global economy a staggering $8.9 trillion annually. Mimi, a fierce voice featured in Forbes and the Harvard Business Review, shares her powerful journey from a corporate executive to a leader on a mission to bring human connection back into the boardroom.
