    In this episode of On Your Lead, Thad sits down with endurance athlete Christine O'Hara to unpack what it really takes to push through the hardest moments in ultra running—and in life.

    Christine shares the story behind her experience at the Moab 240, a race that tests runners across 240 miles of desert terrain, sleep deprivation, and mental fatigue. But this conversation goes far beyond the race itself.

    They dive into the mindset required to keep moving forward when things get difficult, the power of breaking overwhelming challenges down into one step at a time, and how the lessons learned on the trail translate directly into everyday life.

    Christine also opens up about parenting, building strong families, and the importance of being present in a world filled with distractions.

    This episode is a powerful reminder that when the path ahead feels impossible, sometimes the only thing you need to do is take the next step.

    Whether you're a runner, leader, parent, or simply someone navigating a hard season, this conversation will leave you thinking about what it really means to keep moving forward.

  • Dean Karnazes — Thinking Is the Problem

    In this episode of On Your Lead, I sit down with Dean Karnazes to talk about endurance, discipline, and what actually carries you through hard moments.

    Dean shares how he approaches pain, uncertainty, and long efforts — not by overthinking, but by quieting the mind and focusing on the next step. We talk about why suffering doesn’t need to be dramatic, how preparation creates freedom, and why some of the most important breakthroughs happen when you stop trying to control the outcome.

    This conversation isn’t just about running. It’s about leadership, decision-making, and staying steady when things get hard — whether that’s on the trail, at work, or in life.

  • Mike Abrashoff — Leadership Isn’t Control, It’s Letting Go
    Dec 18 2025

    What if the fastest way to become a better leader is to stop trying to do everything yourself?

    In this episode of On Your Lead, I sit down with Mike Abrashoff, former U.S. Navy commander and bestselling author of It’s Your Ship, to unpack how he transformed one of the Navy’s lowest-performing ships into a fleet leader by giving ownership to the people closest to the work.

    Mike shares the real mechanics behind the turnaround: interviewing all 310 sailors, inviting challenges to every process, and making junior crew members the VIPs when admirals visited. We talk about the “line in the sand” for delegation, why many top performers struggle when they become managers, and how leaders get trapped doing low-value work instead of the thinking only they can do.

    We also dig into preparation as a form of freedom — including the bold decision that allowed his ship to pass every certification in record time, dramatically changing morale, schedules, and results. We close with a conversation about legacy leadership: measuring success not by what happens while you’re in charge, but by what happens months after you leave.

    This is a practical, grounded conversation about trust, discipline, and building teams that don’t depend on you to succeed.
