The Leadership Gambit
The Leadership Gambit
The Toolkit for Business and Life You Were Never Taught
Let’s be real: you don’t need more cliche advice and a lot of content doesn’t go deep enough. You need practical guidance you can actually use to help you overcome your challenges or achieve your goals.
Recent studies show most people today feel unsupported, underprepared, and overwhelmed by a system and management that teaches very little about navigating, leading, or thriving in the chaos of modern life.
This podcast is for anyone who’s ready to take ownership of their personal journey and needs a guide to support them along their path.
We take over 20 years of real-world experience, hundreds of field experiments, and the best of leadership, psychology, and personal development knowledge and turn it into clear, honest, and useful guidance you can start using right away.
No fluff, real talk, and real tools, to thrive at work and in life.
Hosted by Chris Miller and Dane Smith. Edited by Joseph Pitz.

S011E01: The Career Conversation That Can Change Your Life
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if a single conversation could completely change the direction of your career?
In this episode of The Leadership Gambit, Chris and Marija explore one of the most overlooked skills in leadership: coaching. While most managers focus on performance, deadlines, and results, great leaders know that asking the right questions can unlock confidence, clarity, and untapped potential.
They discuss the difference between managing, mentoring, and coaching, why so few people ever experience meaningful career coaching, and share a practical coaching framework you can use to have better career conversations with your team, your colleagues, or even yourself. From defining your personal vision to understanding what kind of life you truly want to build, this episode will challenge you to think beyond your next promotion and start designing a career with purpose.
Whether you're an aspiring leader, an experienced manager, or simply looking for more direction in your career or life, you'll walk away with practical questions and insights that can help you make better career decisions, unlock your potential, and help others do the same.
If you're ready to stop drifting through your career and start building it intentionally, this conversation is for you.
