How to stay calm under fire with former CIA Agent
Rupal Patel, a former CIA operative and now a successful CEO, brings a wealth of experience from one of the world's most intense and high-stakes environments. With her unique background, Rupal has transitioned her skills into the business world, offering invaluable insights on leadership, resilience, and strategic thinking. She is also the author of the book "From CIA to CEO," where she shares unconventional life lessons for thinking bigger, leading better, and being bolder.
In this episode we dive into the world of high-pressure leadership with insights from Rupal. During our conversation, she reveals how the skills and mindset developed in the CIA can be applied to business and personal life. We explore key concepts such as the importance of tactical ignorance—focusing only on the information that truly matters—and the idea of "enlightened swagger," a balance of confidence and humility crucial for effective leadership.
We also discuss the power of resourcefulness, especially in situations with limited resources, and how to train yourself and your team to thrive under pressure. Through personal stories from her time in the CIA, Rupal illustrates how these principles helped her navigate both professional and personal challenges, and how you can apply them to your own leadership journey.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to enhance their decision-making, resilience, and ability to lead effectively in volatile environments.
Don't miss this opportunity to learn from a leader who has been tested in some of the most intense situations imaginable, and discover how you can apply these lessons to your own life and career.

URGENT: Ex-Google CBO says AI is now IMPOSSIBLE to stop with Mo Gawdat
I have never put out an urgent episode before. I recorded this conversation 5 days ago with the incredible Mo Gawdat. After our conversation, I realised how urgent this information is and how critical it is that we are all aware of the super-intelligence of AI.
Mo Gawdat is the Former Chief Business Officer for Google X, an AI expert, a best-selling author and a passionate podcaster.
Mo spoke to me about AI. Most people bury their head in the sand when it comes to this topic, Mo is trying to change that. He believes that AI can be used for good, however we all need to work together to make that happen.
This episode is incredibly important. If you have any loved ones or people you care about, make sure you send this on to them. I urge you to listen carefully and then take action.

Climate Crisis: How to lead through adversity with Tim Jarvis.

Climate Crisis: How to lead through adversity with Tim Jarvis.
Tim Jarvis is an incredible person. He is an explorer, a scientist, a climate change activist, and a world-class leader.
Tim has 25 years of experience in environmental science and exploration expeditions to some pretty extreme places.
In 2013, Tim led an expedition that recreated Shackleton’s “double” which saw Tim and his crew sail 1500km’s across the Southern Ocean from Elephant Island to South Georgia. They then climbed over South Georgia’s mountainous interior, all whilst wearing period clothing and using the same rudimentary equipment and technology that Shackleton used.
Tim has used his platform and influence for good. He is on a mission to teach people that they can make a difference when it comes to climate change. All we need to do is break it down into bite-sized chunks and then focus on what we can control.

Have you ever wondered how you could take on a role that you knew not-too-much about and absolutely succeed? Karen Pflug is an incredible person who shared her experience with doing just this.
Karen Pflug is the Chief Sustainability Officer at Ingka Group. Ingka Group is the largest IKEA retailer and represents about 90% of IKEA retail sales. It is a strategic partner to develop and innovate the IKEA business and help define common IKEA strategies. Ingka Group owns and operates IKEA sales channels under franchise agreements with Inter IKEA Systems B.V. It has three business areas: IKEA Retail, Ingka Investments and Ingka Centres.
Karen Pflug was open and honest about not being prepared for, or even feeling ready to step into the roles she has stepped into throughout her career. She stepped into these roles anyway and has made an incredible success of them. Karen is an inspiration for a lot of people who want to take on certain roles, but might not feel ready yet. Notice that fear and then do it anyway.
This is a conversation that I thoroughly enjoyed and I know it is the first of many.

Former Navy Seal Brent Gleeson Recap: How to Embrace the Suck

How to Embrace the Suck with Former Navy Seal Brent Gleeson
Brent Gleeson is a former US Navy Seal. He is also a best-selling author of 2 incredible books, and an award winning entrepreneur.
Brent is an incredible human. In our conversation he opened up about the pain and suffering he experienced in the Navy, and how he learned to welcome that pain and really celebrate it. That life lesson inspired him to write his best-selling book “Embrace the Suck.”
He has learned so many lessons throughout his years as a Navy Seal, and he is now applying them to teams within the business and corporate sphere.
Brent speaks of forming world-class routines. There are a lot of leaders who say they are going to achieve the incredible goal, and give their staff all of the amazing resources and training that they deserve, but then they never follow through and put those routines in place. This is where Brent comes in.
