  The Longevity Playbook

  Aug 18, 202631 min

  What if living longer isn't actually the goal? What if the real goal is living better? In the third episode of Lleadership lessons, we explore the longevity playbook with some of the leading voices in health, wellness, and purposeful aging. From the Blue Zones and the foods that help people live longer, to chronic disease, lifestyle medicine, sleep, stress, relationships, biological age, and the power of community, this conversation looks at what really matters when it comes to adding more healthy years to our lives. We talk about why our closest relationships can influence our health, why fear isn't always enough to change our behavior, how lifestyle choices can make a difference, and why our genes may not determine our destiny. But longevity isn't just about adding years. It's about purpose. It's about staying connected. It's about continuing to learn. And as one guest puts it, maybe the goal isn't to stay youthful forever — maybe it's to stay useful. This is The Longevity Playbook. What can you change today to make the years ahead healthier, more meaningful, and more connected?

  Relationships Advantage For the Coming Days

  Aug 11, 202636 min

  What really makes us happy? What makes us successful? What makes a life meaningful? After a year of conversations with some of the most interesting thinkers, leaders, and entrepreneurs, one lesson keeps coming back to the same place: relationships. In the second part of Power & Impact's Leadership Lessons series,, we revisit powerful conversations about the relationships that shape our lives, our happiness, our careers, our communities, and ultimately who we become. David Brooks explains why our society is facing a relationship crisis and why learning how to listen, ask better questions, disagree, forgive, and truly connect with other people are skills we all need to develop. Arthur Brooks shares what decades of research has taught us about happiness and why love, friendship, generosity, and meaningful connection matter more than money, power, or status. Dan Ariely explores how our relationships shape the way we see the world and why connection can help us move beyond an us-versus-them mentality. John Rivers shares a deeply personal story about faith, community, friendship, encouragement, and how the people around us can help us find the courage to pursue a dream. The lesson running through all of these conversations is simple: The quality of our relationships can shape the quality of our lives. This is the relationship advantage.

  Aug 4, 202633 min

  Rapid advances in artificial intelligence are reshaping how we work, learn, and make decisions. For leaders, the challenge is learning how to move forward when the pace of change makes certainty impossible. This week's episode of Power & Impact kicks off Leadership Lessons, a month-long series exploring what today's most thoughtful leaders can teach us about navigating change. In this first installment, I revisit conversations with Reid Blackman, Dr. Gary King, Azeem Azhar, and Eric Gertler, who each offer a distinct perspective on leading through extraordinary technological and organizational transformation. We explore why expertise may become even more valuable in the age of AI, how leaders can make faster decisions without losing sight of risk, and why curiosity and continuous learning remain essential leadership skills. We also discuss the importance of trust and the human relationships that help organizations adapt and thrive.

  Jul 28, 202633 min

  What will separate the companies that thrive in the AI era from those that fall behind? In this conversation, I speak with London Business School professor and author John Mullins about the entrepreneurial mindsets that help people move faster, test ideas, and build businesses around real customer demand. John explains why experimentation is replacing traditional strategic planning and how AI can become a powerful critical-thinking partner. We also explore the rise of AI-native companies and the growing class of highly skilled independent workers. The lessons we discuss include those from Costco, Amazon, SpaceX, and other businesses that have challenged conventional thinking. For business leaders and anyone trying to understand where business is heading, this episode offers a practical framework for navigating change with greater clarity and confidence.

  What AI Can't Replace: Original Thinking | With Roger L. Martin

  Jul 21, 202641 min

  What happens when artificial intelligence can perform routine tasks faster, cheaper, and better than we can? In this episode of Power & Impact , I sit down with renowned business strategist Roger L. Martin to explore what will make people valuable in an AI-driven economy. Roger offers a compelling framework: AI excels at finding the most common or predictable answer, while people create value by applying judgment, imagination, and original thinking. Roger's own career backs it up. He spent years building a global strategy firm, then ran a business school — then walked away from a chance to rebuild his old firm and instead built a one-person practice on his own terms. It's the kind of choice he says more people will face as companies stop promising jobs for life and start looking for people who can solve problems no one's solved yet. For business leaders, recent graduates, and anyone thinking about what comes next, this conversation offers a practical guide to thriving in a world where expertise is becoming easier to access.
