A single Instagram line flips our mindset from “one more day” to “one less day,” and that change sharpens how we live right now. We trade delay for urgency, not to feel heavy, but to choose what matters and act on it today.
• reframing time as finite instead of unlimited
• seeing “one less day” as a wake-up call
• grounding urgency in faith and the idea that God numbers our days
• replacing drifting with choosing based on what matters
• questioning delay and confronting the “later” habit
• treating time as the most valuable asset
• acting today through simple steps like making the call and fixing what needs fixing

We sit down with April Whitson, Global VP of HR for ABB and author of The Stay Challenge, to unpack seven leadership regrets and how intentional habits prevent them. From regrettable retention to culture drift, we share practical moves that raise standards, protect trust, and improve results.

• work–life integration replacing identity-through-work
• regrettable retention and the cost of keeping disengagement
• silent complicity and fear of conflict
• asking for and giving useful feedback
• missed growth through lack of stretch assignments
• intentional leadership over adding more tasks
• values as observable behaviors, not posters
• clarifying purpose and aligning with company values
• team-level culture shaped by daily leader habits
• emotional blind spots and practical EQ
• decision drift and timely hard calls
• burnout betrayal and modeling healthy limits
• culture drift and keeping hands on the wheel

Highly suggest you get her book, The Stay Challenge, and subscribe to her newsletter. Follow April on LinkedIn for updates on the Intent2Lead app launching by April 1.

What if sitting with one story could change how you see your life? We launch the Up Project with a bold commitment: fifty viewings of Pixar’s Up, each one an experiment in attention, emotion, and meaning. Rather than chasing the next hot take, we trade speed for depth and explore how repetition turns a familiar plot into a mirror that reflects who we are today.

We talk about the first-viewing jolt of that quiet opening montage, then trace the shift that happens on the tenth and twentieth passes, when surprise fades and noticing takes over. Without novelty to hide behind, the only variable left is us—our mood, our season, our grief, our gratitude. That’s where the film reveals its quiet power. The house becomes more than a balloon-lifted icon; it’s weight, memory, and the cost of holding on too long. Russell transforms from comic relief into an unexpected invitation to soften. Carl’s arc feels less like a lesson and more like a lived reminder that letting go is not betrayal, but a form of love.

Across this conversation, we lean into questions that open rather than close: Why does the same scene hurt one day and heal the next? What do we miss when we only watch once? Can patience turn entertainment into insight? By staying with a single story, we practice a slower way of seeing that honors nuance over noise. You’ll leave with a fresh lens for rewatching, a framework for noticing, and an invitation to revisit a favorite film, chapter, or poem until its quiet truths surface.

If this resonates, follow the show, share this episode with someone who loves Up, and leave a review with the one scene you notice differently now. Your reflections shape where we go next.
