Rediscover Your Why: The Inner Work Every CEO Needs

In this episode of Nicole’s Business Notebook, we sit down with Christopher Amato — former federal agent turned entrepreneur and author of The Soul of a CEO.

  Why self‑command matters more than strategy when you’re burning out. The Soul of CEO

• 
  How emotional intelligence, identity clarity, and nervous‑system regulation form the foundation of sustainable success. The Soul of CEO

• 
  How to rebuild your leadership from the inside out — without sacrificing your mental health, relationships, or authenticity.
