While some leaders' fear is thinking the person behind them wants to take their job, others measure their success based on how well they've prepared their successors. As leaders, we must think it is not about training our replacement, it is about setting the conditions for the person that replaces who's replacing us.

Today, I'm thrilled to welcome a fantastic leader and great friend, Colonel Blake Glass. Colonel Glass has over 28 years of dynamic experience in the most extreme, volatile, ambiguous, and uncertain environments, making calls and leading operations in Iraq and Ukraine.

Leaning on his MBA from the University of Florida in Agricultural Business and Management and his master's degree in Strategic Studies from the U.S. Army War College, Colonel Blake started a new path as a Land Development Manager in Pulte Group.

Tune in and listen to the fifty-ninth episode of Avant-garde Entrepreneur. You'll hear Colonel Glass' thoughts on making decisions in high-pressure situations, what we can do in those moments when we don't know what to do, and the importance of building resilience in our teams. Colonel Glass also shares his unique perspective on leaders' accountability and responsibilities, thinking outside the box when training leaders' replacements, how leaders should handle their emotions, and so much more.

Are you aware of the hidden benefits of pausing your work routine as a social entrepreneur?

Today, I'm excited to discuss the underrated value of sabbaticals for social entrepreneurs. It amazes me how little is told about how breaking the routine and taking intentional pauses allow us to renew our energy and creativity.

Slowing down, disconnecting, and putting our routine on hold are proven methods to counter leadership's silent killers: fear and fatigue. By diving into intentional pauses, we can prevent their negative long-term effects on our health and social enterprise.

Tune in and listen to the fifty-seventh episode of Avant-garde Entrepreneur. You'll hear about my recent experience with sabbaticals and how creating an intentional pause led to enjoying renewed energy, enhanced clarity, and a higher vibrational state. You'll also learn key strategies to plan your sabbatical, tips and practical advice on what to do while you are in the middle of it, the things I would do differently in the next one, and much more.

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

• A bit about Trisha's experiment pressing the pause button (5:50)
• About the emotional changes that stem from sabbaticals (12:50)
• How letting go of the outcomes changes us (19:00)
• The physical effects the sabbatical had on Trisha (24:30)
• What you should know and do before you press the pause button (30:20)
• Tips and advice to consider during the sabbatical (35:20)
