  • Hybrid Work, Creative Spark: From Film to Tech

    Hybrid Work, Creative Spark: From Film to Tech
    Aug 1 2025

    In this episode, I’m joined by Steven Puri—a creative strategist, entrepreneur, and systems thinker whose work spans tech, entertainment, and AI. Steven has led teams at the intersection of storytelling and innovation, working with top studios, startups, and Fortune 500 companies to rethink how people create, focus, and lead.

    What I appreciate most about Steven is that he’s not just an idea guy—he’s a builder. Whether he’s helping develop AI tools that nudge us toward more intentional work or guiding teams through high-stakes creative processes, he’s always asking the right questions: How do we cut through the noise? How do we create things that matter? And how do we lead ourselves and others with focus, clarity, and integrity?

    Steven brings a rare combination of creative depth and operational clarity. In our conversation, we explore everything from the roots of real creativity to how deep work, mindful tech, and everyday leadership can help you do more than just keep up—you can actually thrive.

    If you’ve ever felt stretched too thin, creatively stuck, or unsure how to lead in a world that’s always “on,” this episode—and Steven’s perspective—is exactly what you need.

  • Your Leadership Potential: The Truth About Charisma and Influence

    Your Leadership Potential: The Truth About Charisma and Influence
    Jul 18 2025

    In this episode, we tackle a critical leadership gap — the missing interpersonal skills no one teaches but everyone needs. We explore why great leadership isn’t reserved for titles or positions — it’s something every person deserves at home, work, and in the community.

    Our conversation dives into Richard Reid’s book, Charisma Unlocked, which breaks the myth that charisma is something you’re born with. Instead, charisma is a learnable skill built on four key pillars:

    • Presence — the ability to be fully engaged in the moment

    • Power — projecting confidence without dominance

    • Warmth — connecting with genuine care

    • Competence — earning trust through your skills

    We unpack how these pillars amplify your impact in leadership, business, negotiations, and personal relationships. As Reid shares, charisma isn’t just an advantage — it’s a leadership “force multiplier” that helps you connect, influence, and inspire authentically.

    You’ll hear practical steps on mastering first impressions, nonverbal communication, and building emotional connections that people won’t forget — echoing Maya Angelou’s wisdom that people remember how you made them feel.

    Whether you’re leading a team, making your next pitch, or stepping into a tough conversation, this episode gives you actionable insights from Charisma Unlocked to help you unlock your influence and grow your authentic leadership style.

  • Credible Leadership: Gain Trust and Inspire Others

    Credible Leadership: Gain Trust and Inspire Others
    Jul 11 2025
    In this episode, we’re digging into the second pillar of the Army’s leadership model: KNOW. Now, this isn’t just military theory—it’s a practical reminder that leadership isn’t about winging it. It’s about showing up prepared, grounded, and equipped. Whether you’re in uniform, running a business, or leading in your home, the principles are the same. Leadership starts with who you are—your character, your values. That’s the BE. But once you’ve got that foundation, you need to sharpen what you KNOW—the skills and knowledge that make you credible and effective. This is where competence is built, and trust is earned. To master the “KNOW” side of leadership, you’ve got to build in four key areas: Interpersonal, Conceptual, Technical, and Tactical skills. These aren’t just categories—they’re tools you carry every day. They help you lead with clarity, confidence, and relevance in a fast-changing world. Let’s break them down. At the heart of leadership is the ability to connect with people. I’m talking about real connection—not just giving orders or checking boxes. This means listening, asking the right questions, and learning what drives the people around you. If you want to build trust, get out of your office. Walk the floor. Ask your team what matters to them, how their job fits into the bigger picture, and what gets them fired up—or frustrated. People aren’t problems to be solved—they’re relationships to be built. And those relationships? They’re your force multipliers. Leadership is a thinking game. It requires mental agility—being able to step back, look at the big picture, and make sense of complex, high-stress situations. This includes critical thinking—spotting your own blind spots and questioning your assumptions. It’s creative thinking—asking, “What if we did this differently?” And it’s sound judgment—the ability to make the hard calls when the pressure’s on. No amount of skill can replace the power of good judgment forged through reflection and experience. You don’t need to do everyone’s job—but you do need to understand it. You should know the systems, tools, and processes your team relies on. If you're leading a creative team, learn the basics of the software they use. If you oversee logistics, understand how the supply chain actually moves. When you understand the tools, you earn credibility. And more importantly, you can make better decisions. This technical foundation strengthens your tactical edge. This is where the rubber meets the road—decision-making in real time, under pressure. Tactical leadership isn’t theory—it’s action. It’s knowing how to move when the path isn’t clear and making calls when there’s no time to phone a friend. The best way to build tactical skill is through experience—real or simulated. Get into environments where the stakes are high. Test yourself. Learn what it feels like to make decisions when everything’s on the line. Over time, you’ll start recognizing patterns, trusting your instincts, and leading with confidence—even in chaos. Here’s the deal: competence grows with responsibility. The more people you lead, the more sharpened your skills need to be. You don’t “arrive” as a leader—you keep growing. So how do you build that growth into your life? Try this: Seek Feedback – Don’t lead in isolation. Invite input. Ask people you trust, “Where can I grow?” Study and Reflect – Make reflection a daily practice. Think through decisions. Learn from outcomes. Master the Tools – Learn your trade. Stay sharp. Stay relevant. Train Under Pressure – Volunteer for the hard things. Get comfortable being uncomfortable. Leadership is preparation. It's not just about knowing what to do—it's about being the kind of leader who’s ready when it counts. When you combine who you are with what you know, you build trust. And when people trust you, they’ll follow you—even when the way forward isn’t clear. So focus on your KNOW. Stay a student. Keep sharpening your edge. Because leadership isn’t about being perfect—it’s about showing up ready, reliable, and real.
