About this podcast
How are the greatest leaders able to recall, leverage, and translate prior experiences into insights for decision-making? Host BJ Kito seeks to shed light on the experiences that most leaders rely upon (consciously or subconsciously). It's an instinct developed through consistency, focus, and determination -- 24/7, 365 days a year...or, 8760 hours a year. This is the 87:60 podcast.
Experience isn’t gained in an instant, progress is seldom made in a day, and success doesn’t just manifest through sheer force. There’s more to success than a 24/7 grind. More than a “why” others can validate. More than intuition, instinct, gut feel… and perhaps a little bit of luck. Visionary leaders and entrepreneurs have an eidetic mind for experiences. It’s here they amass knowledge and instincts to fuel an extraordinary ability to innately forecast outcomes of various scenarios in real time. To see their optimal future reality and identify the decisions that get them one step closer.
The 87:60 Podcast digs into how the greatest leaders are able to recall, leverage, and translate prior experiences into insights for decision-making. We ask, what are they able to see in the future that gives them the confidence to “trust their gut” and remain steadfast when others doubt them? And, how do they build a business when the clarity of the way forward is largely held in the cipher of their mind?
