On the Kick-A$$ w/Klaas podcast, we take a deep dive into the topics that kick-a$$ professionals are drowning in, from crummy leadership and unfulfilling roles to the ever unbalanced pendulum of work and the needs of our loved ones. Part leadership development, part personal. Either way, we're breathing life into the all important theme: You don't have to be an a$$ to kick-a$$!

Show up, Shut up, Speak up: Parcells, presence, patience, and the upwork of puttin' it out there
In this episode, we explore the power (and opportunity) of showing up, even when we don't want to. We'll lean upon the lesson of NFL coach Bill Parcells and his line, 'availability is the best ability' as it sets the tone for the power of showing up for opportunities, keeping our mouths shut as we assess before we speak and pushing conversations forward by saying the things that need to be said.

the LOVE effect: Jordan Love, Good Deeds, & the Science of Kindness on Performance
Maybe this is the scientific proof we needed that shows the correlation between good deeds and good performance at work. Last week, Green Bay Quarterback Jordan Love dominated social media two days before he dominated the Dallas Cowboys. But why? Because in the middle of a Wisconsin blizzard and just two days before the biggest game of his career, he was found pulling over to help a stranger push their car out of a snowdrift. We all love a random act of kindness and typically chalk it up to a good person, doing good things. In this case though, we couldn't help but wonder if this random act of kindness was a predictor of Jordan Love's on-field successful performance against the much higher seeded Dallas Cowboys.
In this episode, we explore not only the background of Jordan Love and his path to unexpected stardom (on-field/off-field) but also the surprising science that just so happens to support the connection between good deeds and good performance.

It's a Wonderful Life, even when it's not
Despite traditional perception, 'It's a Wonderful Life' is a dark movie. It's the story of a man seeped in bitterness, resentment, and jealously. He's known to fly into fits of rage. Though a father, husband, and community leader, he thinks the world would be better had he never been born. Ultimately, he attempts suicide. Interestingly, the movie's star, Jimmy Stewart was also struggling in his real life. Already one of Hollywood's biggest stars before the war, he left for Germany just months after winning an Academy Award for The Philadelphia Story. He was 34. He returned three years later, looking 50 years old, his body the victim of guilt, trauma and near starvation. In today's episode, we'll dive in to the many lessons of the classic film and why it's so important as we continue to battle an epidemic of mental health.
