The Book Leads – Episode 44: Tia Hawkins & Daring Greatly: How the Courage to be Vulnerable Tranforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent and Lead by Brene Brown I recently sat down with my childhood friend Tia Hawkins to talk about her journey to today and how Brene Brown’s book has influenced her path, development, and success. The book is about opening up with vulnerability and putting yourself out there in the arena of life. Sometimes we want to hold on to safety and familiarity, and in the process, we let ourselves down. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Tia seemed to find the book at …

In most of the podcast episodes I’ve made mention about or been curious as to how the lessons of my guests, from the work they do, can be transferred and imparted on children. It’s a two-pronged approach: Beyond repairing what we need to as adults and building from there, how can we prepare the younger generations, providing them the right tools to make their arduous journey through life more efficient? Not easy, but more efficient. Not fewer obstacles or challenges, but smarter work and life habits to tackle them. For this episode, Katie walks me through both her career and the drivers be…

The Book Leads – Episode 40: Nicole Weyer & Her Chapter "Escaping the Leadership Trap: My Journey to and through burnout” in the book Cracking the Rich Code, Vol 8.

Because of her own experience with burnout, Nicole felt called to help others understand – and avoid – their own. As a result of her education and div…
