    May 1 2025
    Are YOU the Soul-Sucking CEO? What if the biggest barrier to growth in your company… is you? In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Garry Ridge — former CEO of WD-40, Top 10 USA Today bestselling author, and one of the most grounded, wise leaders I know.

Featuring Sharon Lechter—co-author of the international bestseller Rich Dad Poor Dad, presidential financial-literacy advisor under Presidents Bush and Obama, and longtime philanthropist—this episode will transform how you think about income, assets, and true wealth. I’m Adam Strong, and in this conversation I sat down with Sharon Lechter to unpack why traditional schooling leaves us financially illiterate, how the famed Cashflow Quadrant can shift you from trading time for money into building businesses and investments that work for you, and the four-part Personal Success Equation that powers entrepreneurial breakthroughs.

Improve Your Success with the Personal Success Equation Apply the formula: (Passion + Talent) × Association × Action + Faith, to align your strengths and network, take decisive actions, and maintain belief in your mission. 3.

  • Strategic Shifts for Successful Exits

    Strategic Shifts for Successful Exits
    Apr 17 2025
    What If Your Success Habits Are Now Holding You Back? You’ve built something from the ground up—but what if the very traits that made you a successful founder are now the biggest blockers to scaling and exiting? In this episode, I speak with John Spence, one of the world’s leading authorities on business and leadership. Named by the American Management Association as one of America’s top 50 leaders to watch—alongside the likes of Larry Page and Jeff Bezos—John became CEO of the Rockefeller Foundation at just 26 and has since advised both Fortune 10 giants and small, fast-growth businesses across the globe. I’ve known John for years, and every time we speak, I’m reminded just how deeply he understands what makes a business thrive—or fail. This conversation was rich in insight, challenge, and practical strategy. We covered: The mental traps founders fall into when transitioning from startup to scale-up The psychological roadblocks that sabotage even the most talented leaders Why reflection, emotional intelligence, and adaptability are now non-negotiables Learn how to scale and exit faster by applying to join our waitlist for our next cohort to the game changers inner circle business mastermind go to https://bit.ly/business-mastermind-waitlist for more info 5 Key Takeaways from the Episode: Most businesses plateau due to a mix of Ignorance, Indifference, Inflexibility and Inconsistency. Recognising which one you're operating in is key to moving forward. The habits that serve you as a founder can become liabilities as a leader. Without shifting your mindset, you risk becoming the bottleneck. Founders who successfully scale are the ones who learn to hire well and step back. Running a £1M company and a £50M company requires completely different skill sets. Emotional intelligence (EQ) and adaptability (AQ) often outweigh technical expertise in long-term leadership success. The best leaders take full ownership of their mistakes—and are brave enough to ask for help. Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Scaling Challenges 06:23 Identifying Patterns in Business Plateauing 10:08 Strategic Shifts for Founders 11:47 Defining Professional Management 14:08 Finding the Right Replacement 18:05 Counterintuitive Mistakes of Founders 21:02 Key Areas for Business Differentiation 22:58 Psychological Blind Spots in Leadership 26:50 Lessons from Early Leadership Experience 29:58 The Importance of Emotional Intelligence 30:54 Accountability in Leadership 33:29 Mindset Shifts for Overcoming Plateaus 39:09 Purpose-Driven Leadership 41:03 The Impact of Leadership on Employee Lives 43:15 Curiosity and Uncomfortable Questions in Leadership 46:37 The Five-Step Framework for Business Excellence 49:42 People First: The Core of Business Success 52:50 Identifying and Addressing Performance Issues 53:48 The Evolution of Leadership Frameworks 56:27 A Live Coaching Session: Overcoming Frustrations 01:09:20 Legacy and Leading with Love 🙏 How To Support The Business Strategist 🎙️ If this is the first time you’re listening congrats, if you like today’s episode please subscribe, listen and leave a review on 👉 Apple, Spotify ABOUT THE GUEST Website: https://johnspence.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnbspence/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/johnspenceleadership/ Book: https://amzn.eu/d/cDzEDUy ABOUT THE HOST LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamistrong Learn how to scale fast by taking the business growth quiz: https://howtogrowabusiness.scoreapp.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/adamstrong Learn more about your ad choices.
