I tend to focus on other people in the interviews on Timeless Leadership. That’s important! There are so many things to learn from other people.

But I’ve realized that being a leader isn’t only about lifting other people up, it’s about being a teacher and sharing your own insights as well.

So in this episode, you get a little bit more of me than I typically put out there, as I share an episode from the frankly… podcast from Franco.

It’s an important discussion that covers the background behind why I do what I do, and what I believe — including my advice to my 21-year-old self.

I’d be interested to hear your feedback about it.

There are certain instances in life when we take our responsibilities so seriously that we swear an oath.

Where did this tradition come from? Who do we owe it to? And why are oaths necessary, anyway?

It comes down to accountability.

The second in command in any job gets neither the attention nor the respect that the chief does.

By virtue of their timing, the founders and those who came first tend to command the spotlight.

And yet, those who follow them do more than continue a legacy; they need to forge their own path and determine how to create something sustainable.

Lindsay M. Chervinsky, in her new book Making the Presidency: John Adams and the Precedents that Forged the Republic, makes the case that without John Adams’ wisdom and good judgment, America as we know it might not have survived.

Humans live for stories.

Our entire lives, we're surrounded by stories. And they can be immensely powerful at communicating ideas and inspiring those around us.

In this episode, I’ve got a story that may move you in some way.

I had so much fun listening to Neal Foard in Episode 82. If you did too, then you’ll want to sign up to get the additional stories he told.

If you’re already a member of the Ampersand Guild, our premium subscription tier, you’ll have instant access. If not, it’s just a quick click away.

And because it deserves retelling, here’s a link to a video of that w…

Telling stories is a form of love.

As Neal Foard shared in this episode,

“It helps when a leader is able to communicate to the people that work for them, that they care about them. This is the power of stories. I don’t have to literally say to you I care about you…because of the stories I choose to tell, I am the type of person that cares about the fate of others.”

Neal ignites the storytelling ability in others with his course, Storyfire. But more than his course, Neal’s take on storytelling and leadership is a way of life. It’s a way of being.

Come for the stories, stay for Neal’s three simple rules for living (I won’t spoil it for you in the notes here), and sign up to get bonus content with additional (and hilarious!) stories from Neal.

It’s been a minute.

Season 5 is here and we’ve got a shiny new logo, a new theme song, and more of the timelessness you’re here for.

So as not to jar you with too much on the first episode back, this episode explores a bit of what many leaders struggle with — recurring themes we’ll keep coming back to here. And I geek out a bit on music.

In the links below you’ll not only find links to the music, but to books featured on the podcast and the newsletter as well.

Leaders are lifelong learners. Without curiosity and a desire for self-awareness, we stagnate.

Being insatiable learners, leaders also become teachers of others, passing down the traits and skills to help the next generation of leaders achieve their potential.

But it all starts with committing to learning more, every day. In this episode, we’ll identify nine characteristics of lifelong learners, ask you questions about five facets of the agile learner, and leave you with four tips to help you on a journey of lifelong learning.

This wraps up Season 4. I’ll be back with some changes in Season 5 — you won’t want to miss it.
