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.

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.

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.

1 to One Thing Podcast Show Notes – Episode: Procrastination & Taking Action

In this episode, Steve takes a solo approach to discuss key lessons from both his guests and personal experiences. He shares insights on procrastination, especially “smart procrastination,” where learning becomes an excuse for avoiding action. Inspired by YouTuber Sam Matla, Steve reflects on the balance between preparation and execution. He emphasises that while learning is important, real growth happens when you step into the arena—whether it’s salsa dancing or building a business—and take imperfect action.

Steve also highlights his love for reading and how this year’s top reads, including Feel Good Productivity by Ali Abdaal and Think by Edward de Bono, have shaped his mindset. But reading isn’t enough; Steve reminds us that knowledge only becomes valuable when it’s put into practice.

Main Takeaway: The real magic happens when you stop preparing and start doing. It’s not about perfection—it’s about showing up and learning through action.

Podcast Show Notes Script:

Welcome to today’s episode.

Join me in a deep, authentic conversation with my first Gen Z guest, Tofunmi Apampa (Tof).

This episode dives into the dynamics between generations, from Baby Boomers to Gen Z, and how each perceives the rapid changes in technology, communication, and societal expectations.

Tof shares his journey of growing up in a tech-driven world, reflecting on the influence of smartphones, social media, and how this shapes his worldview. He also touches on his personal experience with education, not pursuing a traditional university path but instead focusing on developing his analytical skills and starting a business.

Together, Steve and Tof explore the importance of understanding one’s predispositions, managing distractions, and the role of community and upbringing in shaping character.

Key Takeaway: One significant takeaway from the episode is the concept of leveraging one’s strengths and predispositions. Tof emphasizes that identifying and honing skills early on, even before completing formal education, creates momentum. By aligning with one’s natural aptitudes, opportunities can emerge organically, as Tof’s career path and ventures demonstrate.

Welcome to the episode

Join me as I chat with Eric Stenlake, an educator and teen family coach. Eric shares his insights on working with families, the evolving landscape of education, and helping teens navigate life transitions. The key themes we covered include the shift from traditional academic paths to more flexible, exploratory learning, and the increasing importance of skills like curiosity and adaptability. Eric also emphasises the importance of parents connecting with their children, guiding them through their educational and life choices without dictating their future.

The conversation explores challenges such as the decline of trade and technical education, the impact of social media, and how to guide children in creating a positive online presence. Eric encourages parents to walk alongside their children, fostering open communication, and preparing them for a future where many jobs are yet to be created.

The ONE Thing:

One of the most important insights from this episode is the idea of parents "linking arms" with their children—walking with them through their journey, rather than leading from the front or dictating their path.

Welcome to the episode.

I had the wonderful privilege to chat with Dr. Dustin Roberts, a cybersecurity expert and educator with a unique academic journey. Our conversation covered Dustin's path from struggling in junior college to earning multiple degrees, including a PhD. He shares insights on resilience, motivation, and the integration of technology into daily life, touching on topics like artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, and the philosophical implications of transhumanism.

Key highlights include Dustin's discussion on the evolving relationship between humans and technology, especially AI, and how it may impact our understanding of consciousness. He also emphasizes the importance of using technology as a tool rather than fearing it, advocating for curiosity and learning, especially for children.

The ONE Thing:

Dustin’s journey shows the power of perseverance, turning a low GPA into academic success through determination and grit. His advice is clear: the urge to quit is natural, but the will to succeed can push you beyond limits.
