Taking abstract leadership and making it concrete through science-based, actionable tools.
Our aim to to make it possible for leaders to deliberately practice specific skills to improve leadership.
Ideally anyone can implement these tools in their day-to-day life to eventually become the leader by whom they would want to be led.
Episode #5: Getting Angry, Dealing with Conflict, and Family Culture
Is it ever ok to get angry?
What do a black blob and resolving marital conflict have in common?
Is making a "family" culture at work healthy?
This monologue is inspired by recent conversations and experiences about leadership and how to effectively inspire people when "the going gets tough".
We talk about the movie Miracle, Herb Brooks, Spiderman, Venom, Jesus, Russell Nelson, Spencer Kimball, Simon Sinek, Jordan Peterson, and more.

Episode #4: Culture Definition -- How to Become a Culture King
If your team is struggling right now, or you feel like "the way things are done around here" at work suck -- look no further. We dive into what culture actually is (not just what it's trendy definition on social media) and how to make it better.
We also talk about why improving your culture will improve your business faster than improving your strategy or operations, how culture is like personality, tactical cultural transformation, and more.
As always, we make culture analogous to Steph Curry along with Elon Musk, Steve Kerr, the Miami Heat, Apple, McKinsey & Company, MIT, and Edgar Schein.
Enjoy!

Episode #3: What to Do When I Fail?
Episode 3 deviates from the Leadership from Scratch framework and instead considers a topic we all wrestle with at some point: how to deal with failure.
We first put together the recipe for certain failure -- things like not measuring progress, stopping after one bad experience, being inconsistent, and trying to avoid frustration.
And then (of course) we lay out actionable tools that can be applied when faced with failure to use it to your advantage. By implementing these tools you will learn why you should SEEK failure, for without failure we will all surely fail -- is that clear as mud?
As always there are some fun nuggets in here from Kobe Bryant, Jordan Peterson, Alex Hormozi, Chris Williamson, Andrew Huberman, Alia Crum, and Carol Dweck.
Hope this helps!

Episode #2: Discover your Leadership Qualities: The What, Why, and How of Personal Mastery
In Episode 2 we dig into how to begin to discovering your unique leadership qualities through the lens of personal mastery.
Topics include: what you should aim at (even how that can help with depression and anxiety), how to figure how what you value most, and where to start when creating a personal WHY statement.
The goal of this episode is to give you tools to create a map and a plan so that you can get where YOU want to go and figure out what problems you feel INTERESTED in solving.
As you begin to articulate an authentic version of who you are, people who believe the same things you believe will naturally follow you.
At the end of the podcast you will know how to:
1) Write down a vision for yourself
2) Discover your four core values
3) Create a personal philosophy or WHY statement

Episode #1: The Definition of Leadership
The inaugural episode of the Leadership from Scratch podcast. The goal of the series is to give you a framework of organized skills and science-based tools to deliberately practice becoming a better leader.
Today we start with a leadership definition, as well as discuss the problem of modern leadership, what leadership is not, and the three levels of infinite game leadership. We learn from chimpanzees, Michael Jordan, Steve Kerr, Simon Sinek, Jordan Peterson, the mythology of Jesus Christ, and styrofoam cups.
If you're listening, take it easy on me -- this is my first time looking at a camera and talking for 30 minutes and it took me a little bit to get warmed up :)
More importantly, though: I need and appreciate feedback, please reach out if there is anything you would like to see more or less of!
