Welcome to the show.

In this episode I reconnect with my long-time friend and leadership consultant Rich Kuepper, founder of Lead USA and Leading Human. We dive into how experiential learning shapes resilient, authentic leaders and why it’s essential to get comfortable with discomfort. Rich shares highlights from his 26 years in the industry, including his early days working with Tony Robbins and his journey into designing unique, hands-on leadership exercises for global clients. Through powerful experiences like ropes courses and team challenges, Rich’s work helps leaders and teams build resilience, foster collaboration, and break through limiting beliefs.

Key points include:

Experiential Leadership Training: Rich discusses using immersive challenges, like team-building scenarios and outdoor experiences, to develop resilience and problem-solving skills.

Personal Development in a Changing World: Rich explains the importance of getting comfortable with discomfort to adapt to the world’s exponential change and highlights overcoming fear as a critical leadership skill.

Connection and Mentorship: Rich shares stories of his personal mentors and underscores the vital role of connection and self-awareness in effective leadership.

The ONE Thing:

Building comfort with discomfort—both in professional exercises and personal life—strengthens resilience, authentic connections, and effective leadership.

Welcome to the show!

This episode is a taken from a discussion during the weekly drop-in event streamed on LinkedIn and Facebook.

I chatted with Paul Deitch and Mark (“Captain “) Whiskay, where we explore age, perspective, and the critical role of self-awareness in life and career.

We discusses how age-based assumptions affect work dynamics, relationships, and self-perception. Paul highlights his insights on judgment, accountability, and the value of staying teachable, learned from his years of experience working with older clients. Meanwhile, Mark and I share anecdotes about generational differences, self-worth, and the pursuit of meaning beyond traditional career paths.

Key points include:

Beyond Age and Assumptions: Paul addresses age-related stereotypes and emphasises personal value over societal expectations. He stresses “emotional regulation” as a transformative skill.

“Because I Said So” Syndrome: The three of us reflect on how this mindset limits curiosity and growth, both in the workplace and personal life.

Accountability as Empowerment: We explore the concept of accountability, sometimes seen as “toxic” today, and reframe it as a key to self-growth and fulfilment.

The ONE Thing:

True personal and professional growth comes from self-awareness, breaking free of limiting beliefs, and understanding that age and experience are as much about mindset as they are about years.

In this episode, I had a great chat with mindset consultant Robert Latibodiere for a rich conversation about the often-overlooked power of small, consistent actions, or what Robert calls the “minutiae effect.”

We explore why we struggle to make basic, positive changes, such as saving money or developing healthy routines, and how understanding human behaviour and brain science can help. Robert emphasises the importance of tackling mental barriers, finding a meaningful "why," and working incrementally toward improvement, rather than seeking sweeping transformations.

Key Points:

Beyond Titles and Perceptions: Robert resists labels, focusing instead on helping people understand the "why" behind their behaviours to make genuine progress.

Small Habits with Big Impacts: The "minutiae effect" involves small, daily actions done well over time, which lead to substantial change.

Overcoming Limiting Beliefs: Through personal stories, Robert discusses his journey with self-belief and the importance of developing confidence through competence.

Mindset in Health and Longevity: Robert underscores how physical and mental health interconnect and how minor lifestyle adjustments can have long-term benefits.

The ONE Thing:

Real change isn’t found in overnight success but through consistent, often boring, micro-actions done over time. By focusing on the "minutiae," anyone can achieve meaningful growth and resilience.
