Each week, Scott sits down with remarkable leaders for real, revealing conversations about the mindset shifts, self-management habits, and everyday routines that fuel extraordinary leadership impact.

The Spiritual Dimension of Your Life GPS®: Staying Grounded When Life Gets Loud
What keeps you grounded when everything around you feels chaotic? For many leaders, the answer isn't another productivity hack or time-management tool, it's a spiritual routine that keeps them connected to purpose and perspective.
In this special Best of Best Ever episode, Scott Eblin shares practical insights from five season one guests on the spiritual routines that help them stay centered and aligned with what matters most - even in the middle of demanding, unpredictable days.
You'll hear how leaders use intention, reflection, faith, breathing, and meditation to reset, zoom out, and reconnect with their deeper "why." These routines look different for everyone, but they all serve the same purpose: helping you live better and lead better.

If there’s one relational routine that underpins every positive leadership outcome, it’s listening.

The Mental Dimension of Your Life GPS®: Think Clearer, Lead Better
Your mind is your most important leadership tool. But in a world of nonstop inputs, it’s also the one that gets overwhelmed the fastest. In this episode of Best Ever, Scott Eblin brings together Olympic champions, CEOs, and innovators to unpack the mental routines that keep them grounded, clear, and intentional.
From activating your parasympathetic “braking system” with three focused breaths, to five-minute visualization resets, to lunchtime movement breaks, nightly curiosity rituals, and annual reflection retreats—these leaders show how small, consistent practices create outsized impact.

The Self-Reflective Leader: Harry Kraemer on Legacy, Humility, and Leading with Purpose
What happens when a Fortune 500 CEO makes self-reflection a daily practice for over 40 years? In this premiere episode of Best Ever, Scott Eblin sits down with Harry Kraemer—former Chairman and CEO of Baxter International, executive partner at Madison Dearborn Partners, and clinical professor of leadership at Northwestern’s Kellogg School—to explore how slowing down, tuning in, and aligning with purpose shapes extraordinary leadership.
Harry shares the four timeless principles of values-based leadership—self-reflection, balanced perspective, true self-confidence, and genuine humility—and how they guided his most pivotal decisions, from leading through crisis to building a global corporate culture rooted in respect and integrity. He opens up about the legacy he’s building beyond the boardroom, why he still goes on silent retreat every December with his father-in-law, and the nightly 15-minute routine that’s changed his life. If you’ve ever wondered how inner discipline creates outer impact, this conversation will leave you inspired and ready to lead yourself first.
