Albert Einstein once scribbled a note on hotel stationery in Tokyo in 1922 and handed it to a bellboy instead of a tip. Nearly a century later, that note sold for $1.56 million.

Stability isn’t a political talking point, it’s a leadership principle. At the All In Summit in LA, I heard a line that stopped me in my tracks: “If the United States wants stability in the world, it must first be stable at home.” That truth doesn’t just apply to nations. It applies to you as a leader. If you’re chaotic, reactive, or inconsistent, …

Radical transparency isn’t for the faint of heart. Most leaders hoard information, soften feedback, and protect egos.

In this episode, …

In business and life, decisions don’t come from the same place for everyone. Some of us lead with logic. Others lead with values. Thinkers weigh the data and poke holes in reasoning.
