- #81: What Own Your Impact Actually Means: Decide It, Then Own It · 15 min · Episode 81I believe the impact you have is the direct product of the decisions you make. It isn't given to you, it isn't discovered, and nobody awards it, which means the whole thing…
- #80: Nothing to Hide Behind: Mark Leruste's Resonant Orator Story · 49 min · Episode 80I believe the thing you are built to do is the thing that will feel most exposing to do in public. Not because you are bad at it, but because when it is your strongest signal…
