Dear listeners,
This will be the last episode of this podcast for the time being. Other aspects of business have caught my attention, and I would not be myself if I were to focus solely on quantity instead of quality.
Since my time is limited, I will focus on the other project for the time being.
Thank you, as a listener, for the loyalty and to all the guests for their wisdom and humanity.
Remember to jump from your head to your heart, and listen to the beat within.
Stepping into leadership shouldn't be a default promotion for top performers – it requires intention, self-awareness, and a genuine desire to serve others. Nico Van de Venne, premium confidant for high-achieving CEOs and entrepreneurs, pulls back the curtain on what he calls "CEO disease" and "founder syndrome" in this eye-opening conversation.
Drawing from 25 years of experience across nuclear, legal, IT, telecom, and sales industries, Nico challenges conventional wisdom about career progression. "There's no logic in humanity," he reminds us, pushing back against the assumption that moving up the corporate ladder is always the right move. Instead, he advocates for honest self-reflection: Do you genuinely want to lead others, or would you thrive more as an expert individual contributor?
The most memorable moment comes when Nico describes true leadership using a powerful metaphor: imagine horses pulling a carriage. While managers sit atop giving orders and demonstrative leaders run ahead showing exactly how things should be done, the servant leader moves invisibly among the horses, listening to each one's motivations and gently aligning them toward a shared goal. This invisible leadership style turns the traditional organisational pyramid upside-down, positioning executives as supporters rather than directors.
Nico's approach as a confidant centres on creating absolute trust – a space where leaders can speak candidly about their challenges without fear of their stories being recycled. "Sometimes listening to your own voice is the key to finding solutions to all your problems," he sha

100% All In: Why Half Measures Don't Work in Business or Life with Mads Rossau
The Everlasting Fulfilment Podcast
Show some love or send your feedback
"I don't do things that's only half done. Either we don't do it or we do it fully." These powerful words from entrepreneur Mads set the tone for a fascinating exploration of leadership, balance, and what it truly means to commit fully to your business vision.
Host Nico and Mads delve into the paradox many founders face: the all-consuming passion that drives success while potentially leading to "founder disease." Through candid conversation, Mads shares personal insights about the symptoms he's experienced - tunnel vision, overconfidence, and becoming so deeply involved that you can't see the forest for the trees.
The discussion takes surprising turns through management philosophy, with Mads revealing how a simple practice of acknowledging one team member daily transformed workplace performance. You'll discover why Denmark achieves one of the world's highest productivity rates despite shorter working hours, and how cultural differences dramatically impact leadership approaches.
Perhaps most compelling is his practical advice for leaders at any level: "Next time, just grab the mop, start mopping the floor." This symbolic action of joining your team in the trenches creates immediate respect and demonstrates the leadership principle that actions truly speak louder than words.
As founder of Intersect AI, Mads shares his strategy for building a sustainable AI agency focused on business automation, highlighting the importance of maintaining control over core technology rather than becoming dependent on platforms that might change pricing unexpectedly.
The conversation culminates in a powerful message for anyone facing entrepreneurial challenges: "Just try." Mads encourages people to reframe obstacles not as insurmountable walls but as "speed bumps along the journey" - noting that often the barriers in our minds are much larger than the actual challenges we face.
Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur, aspiring founder, or leader seeking to improve your management approach, this episode offers valuable insights into building a business with both passion and sustainability.

What They Don't Tell You About Running a Company Will Shock You with Roy Coughlan
The Everlasting Fulfilment Podcast
Show some love or send your feedback
The entrepreneurial journey can be perilous when you don't understand the hidden traps within legal and financial systems. Roy, a seasoned entrepreneur who's founded over 20 companies, shares his harrowing story of building a multi-million real estate empire only to lose everything during an economic crash - not because of market forces alone, but because of critical knowledge gaps about legal structures and personal liability.
What makes this conversation exceptional is Roy's candid revelation of the systemic issues entrepreneurs face that business schools never address. From discovering that being a company president in Poland made him personally liable for all debts despite operating under what he thought was limited liability, to witnessing courtroom procedures that seemed designed to favor financial institutions over business owners. His experience facing over 100 court cases transformed him from a typical entrepreneur into someone deeply knowledgeable about legal rights and financial protection strategies.
The episode delivers practical wisdom about tax optimization that most accountants won't volunteer. Roy discovered numerous deductions and strategies by educating himself through books written by former tax authority employees, ultimately receiving tax rebates where others faced heavy bills. He warns against the common mistake of purchasing unnecessary items simply "because they're tax-deductible" while providing insights into legitimate deduction strategies like pro-rating utilities for home offices.
Perhaps the most powerful takeaway concerns the significance of signatures on legal documents. As Roy emphasizes, "Your signature is the most powerful thing you own," explaining how nothing legally binding can happen without it. This simple awareness has helped him avoid numerous legal and financial traps throughout his business career. Whether you're just starting your entrepreneurial journey or managing an established company, these insights could save you from devastating financial consequences that can emerge when economic conditions change or legal challenges arise.

No One Will Save You: Finding Your Way Through Entrepreneurial Challenges with Hersh Rephun
The Everlasting Fulfilment Podcast
Show some love or send your feedback
Have you ever found yourself alone at your desk at 5 AM, feeling like you're already behind before the day has even begun? That gnawing sensation of being solely responsible for every aspect of your business with no safety net beneath you?
In this deeply honest conversation with personal brand strategist Hersh Rephun, we explore the rarely discussed emotional landscape of entrepreneurship - what he and I call "founder syndrome." It's that peculiar mix of isolation, pressure, and responsibility that comes when you realize that truly "no one's going to save you, no one's going to tell you what to do, because no one has as much invested in it as you."
Hersh shares his journey through entrepreneurial loneliness, including how he transformed this challenge into an opportunity for growth. "Don't think of yourself as a piece of the puzzle. Think of yourself as the puzzle," he advises, highlighting the mindset shift that helped him embrace the full scope of business ownership.
We dive into the liberating perspective that failure isn't just acceptable - it's often necessary. From Hersh's pandemic pivot when his agency work disappeared overnight to my own pre-COVID career leap, we discuss how entrepreneurial setbacks can become doorways to unexpected opportunities. The conversation reveals why planning too rigidly can sometimes block innovation, and how learning to trust your instincts becomes your greatest entrepreneurial superpower.
Perhaps most powerfully, Hersh reminds us that "when you're alone, you're the smartest person in the room," encouraging entrepreneurs to create space for inner wisdom among the constant noise of external advice. His parting insight about processing information through your unique personal filter might be exactly what you need to hear if you've been struggling to find clarity in your business journey.
Whether you're just starting your entrepreneurial path or feeling the weight of founder syndrome after years at the helm, this episode offers both comfort and practical wisdom for the road ahead.

The Everlasting Fulfilment Podcast
Show some love or send your feedback
Have you hit that frustrating plateau in your business where everything feels harder than it should? Derek Fredrickson from The COO Solution reveals the counterintuitive secret that unlocked growth for countless entrepreneurs: doing less, better.
This conversation tackles the entrepreneurial trap that keeps visionaries stuck - the belief that nobody can do things as well as you can. Derek shares wisdom from 17 years of helping business owners break through their glass ceilings by finding the right support at the right time. You'll discover the critical difference between what you could do versus what you should do, and learn a simple framework that instantly clarifies which tasks deserve your focus.
The discussion explores how support evolves as your business grows, from virtual assistants handling basic tasks to online business managers coordinating operations, and eventually to a trusted second-in-command who can truly run your business alongside you. Most importantly, Derek and Nico discuss the profound dual benefits of proper delegation: not just Return on Investment (ROI), but also "Fun on Investment" (FOI) - the renewed energy and passion you experience when focusing on your zone of genius.
For entrepreneurs feeling isolated or overwhelmed, this episode offers both practical strategies and emotional reassurance. Building the right team isn't just about growing your business - it's about reclaiming the joy and purpose that inspired you to become an entrepreneur in the first place.

Acting Lessons for the Boardroom: Why Empathy Matters in Leadership with Matt Drago
The Everlasting Fulfilment Podcast
Show some love or send your feedback
Have you ever wondered what happens when the worlds of Hollywood and business collide? Matt Drago, actor and real estate professional, reveals the surprisingly powerful connections between these seemingly different realms in this enlightening conversation.
When Matt stepped onto the set of his first lead role in a theatrical film "Somewhere in Montana," alongside veteran actors Graham McTavish and Michelle Hurd, he faced the universal experience of self-doubt. But rather than being paralyzed by it, he transformed those nerves into fuel for his performance. "Your nerves are a good thing because it shows that you care," Matt explains, offering a refreshing perspective that challenges how we typically view anxiety in professional settings.
The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Matt makes a compelling case for why everyone—especially business professionals—should take an acting class. Far from being just about performance, acting develops our capacity for empathy and human connection in ways that translate directly to leadership and client relationships. Matt's success in real estate stems directly from these skills, allowing him to support clients through emotionally charged transactions with genuine understanding and care.
What truly sets this episode apart is Matt's wisdom about the journey itself. Having dedicated his life to acting since childhood, he shares how the relationships built along the way matter more than any single achievement. "The journey is the destination," he reflects, encouraging listeners to reconnect with why they entered their profession and to appreciate both the struggles and triumphs that have shaped their path.
Whether you're navigating leadership challenges, building client relationships, or seeking more fulfillment in your work, Matt's insights from bridging artistic and business worlds offer a refreshingly human approach to success. Listen now to discover how embracing your authentic self might be the key to unlocking your next level of achievement and satisfaction.

You Don't Have to Do Everything Yourself to Succeed in Business with AJ
The Everlasting Fulfilment Podcast
Show some love or send your feedback
Are you building a business or just creating a demanding job for yourself? This illuminating conversation with entrepreneur Alykhan Jetha tackles one of the most common challenges business owners face: founder syndrome.
When you're passionate about your business, it's easy to fall into the trap of believing no one else can match your standards or care as deeply about your work. This mindset creates a dangerous bottleneck where everything must flow through you, leaving you overwhelmed, isolated, and unable to take a break. AJ shares a simple yet powerful litmus test: if you can't take a vacation, what you've built isn't truly a business - it's just another job.
We explore multiple strategies for breaking free from this trap, from the ancient practice of journaling (which even Marcus Aurelius used to process leadership challenges) to finding peer support groups where you can openly discuss your challenges with fellow entrepreneurs who truly understand your position. AJ details his own journey from overworked founder to strategic leader after discovering a counterintuitive truth: there are people who can do 60-70% of your tasks better than you can, freeing your mental bandwidth for growth or personal time.
The conversation provides a fascinating look at Daylight app, a tool specifically designed to help small service-based businesses with 1-100 employees build effective systems. But beyond the technology, the most valuable insights center around the three pillars of entrepreneurial success: good people, peer support, and effective systems that let your business thrive even when you're not present.

The Art of Failing Forward While Having Fun with Mona Bavar
The Everlasting Fulfilment Podcast
Show some love or send your feedback
What if entrepreneurship isn't just about profits, but a profound journey of self-discovery? Mona Bavar joins us to explore how business challenges serve as catalysts for personal transformation, revealing that the true power of entrepreneurship lies in what it teaches us about ourselves.
When Mona faced her first customer rejection, it felt deeply personal - like she herself was being rejected. Later, when a vendor harshly criticized her abilities, she found herself temporarily paralyzed. These painful experiences, however, ultimately strengthened her foundation. "You come back into the lab just like a scientist and figure out a different way," she explains, highlighting how entrepreneurial setbacks force us to rebuild stronger.
One of the most compelling aspects of our conversation centers on redefining commonly feared terms. Failure becomes valuable experience. Fear simply represents the unknown. With these perspective shifts, vulnerability transforms from weakness into strength, and the shame associated with entrepreneurial struggles dissolves. Through this lens, building a business becomes less about avoiding missteps and more about embracing them as essential to creating something meaningful and lasting.
As technology increasingly shapes how businesses operate, Mona offers vital insights through her AI agency, helping entrepreneurs maintain authenticity while leveraging artificial intelligence tools. She emphasizes that these technologies should enhance rather than replace human creativity: "You are the boss. You have to guide it." This approach allows entrepreneurs to expand their capabilities while preserving their unique voice - making them irreplaceable rather than replaced.
Whether you're just starting your entrepreneurial journey or looking to reconnect with your original purpose, this episode offers both practical wisdom and inspirational perspectives. Ready to transform how you view business challenges and technological tools? Join us for a conversation that might just change how you approach your entrepreneurial path.

Self-Assessment is Your Secret Weapon Against CEO Disease with Fuquan Bilal
The Everlasting Fulfilment Podcast
Show some love or send your feedback
Standing at the helm of a thriving real estate enterprise with a 26-year legacy, Fuquan Bilal knows firsthand the pitfalls of leadership isolation and burnout. In this candid conversation, he reveals his journey from being a "one-man band" to building systematized operations that allow him to focus on high-value activities while maintaining work-life balance.
"No one can do it like you do it," Fuquan shares, pinpointing the perfectionist mindset that keeps many entrepreneurs trapped in micromanagement cycles. His breakthrough came when he learned to accept 80% perfection when delegating, implementing proper systems and training to transition to macro-management. Through regular "rhythm meetings" and structured check-ins, he maintains alignment without sacrificing team autonomy.
His approach to preventing "CEO Disease" starts at 4 AM daily, with a disciplined routine of journaling, reading, meditation, and exercise before business demands begin. This foundation, coupled with strategic time-blocking and regular self-assessment (now enhanced by AI tools), creates space for continuous growth and self-awareness. His recommendation to leverage personality assessments like Gallup's Clifton Strengths Report helps leaders understand their natural tendencies and build complementary teams.
Perhaps most compelling is his balanced approach to business success - building luxury spec homes while simultaneously developing affordable housing for low-income families, reflecting his own upbringing in a welfare-supported household. "A business can't be successful," he notes wisely. "People are successful, which makes the business have traction."
Whether you're struggling with delegation, time management, or finding purpose in your leadership role, Fuquan's practical wisdom offers actionable strategies for breaking free from founder syndrome and building a sustainable enterprise that serves both profit and purpose. Connect with him on social media or at https://www.nngcapitalfund.com to continue the conversation.

Turning Founder Syndrome Into Your Superpower with Leanne Linsky
The Everlasting Fulfilment Podcast
Show some love or send your feedback
Leanne Linsky's journey from stand-up comedian to tech founder offers a masterclass in resilience and adaptability. What began as a practical solution to spending "more time on the highway than on any stage" evolved into Plauzzable - a groundbreaking platform where comedians perform live online for global audiences, free from of geography or gatekeepers.
This conversation explores the emotional roller coaster of founder syndrome, where passionate problem-solving exists alongside isolation and self-doubt. "Side effects include getting fatigued, feeling isolated, and questioning what am I doing?" she shares candidly. Yet her perspective on entrepreneurial solitude evolved dramatically over time, transforming from a perceived weakness into a strategic strength.
After years in comedy, including training at the prestigious Second City and producing shows in New York, she faced a pivotal moment when she was laid off from her Fortune 500 job. Rather than playing it safe, she packed two suitcases and moved to New York, immersing herself in comedy before eventually creating a tech solution for performers. Her story includes returning to school at age 50 for a master's degree in innovation and entrepreneurship - a commitment to continuous learning that helped bring her vision to life.
What makes her approach remarkable is how she learned to filter advice and feedback. Early on, she absorbed everyone’s input, but learned to ask: “Is that feedback really pertinent to the direction I'm going? Is that person an expert in this particular industry?” That discernment let her focus on execution, not endless revision. Most importantly, she reframed isolation as reflection time - a space to clarify vision and build resolve.
Listen to this episode for practical wisdom on building both a business and the inner resources needed to sustain the entrepreneurial journey over the long term. You'll find inspiration in Leanne's approach to "pushing the boulder up a mountain" with purpose and perspective.

The Entrepreneur's Mirror: How Business Growth Reflects Personal Development with Carly Pepin
The Everlasting Fulfilment Podcast
Show some love or send your feedback
Leadership requires stepping into uncertainty with unwavering determination, even when you don't feel ready. This powerful conversation with Carly Pepin, an international leadership consultant, explores how personal development and business growth are deeply intertwined mirrors of each other.
Carly shares her journey from starting her first business at 18 to helping executives and entrepreneurs balance their professional aspirations with personal fulfillment. She offers profound insights into what high-achieving leaders truly need - both from their teams and from themselves. We discuss the critical importance of creating a company culture where employees feel safe bringing forward challenges and bad news, as this foresight prevents larger problems down the road.
The discussion ventures into the inherent isolation many leaders experience and practical ways to navigate this challenge. Carly explains how personal development isn't just a nice-to-have but an essential component of sustainable leadership. By addressing internal "prides and shames," leaders can respond to criticism without being derailed by it. This freedom creates space for true innovation and courageous decision-making.
Perhaps most refreshingly, Carly acknowledges that growing a business is inherently difficult. Behind every polished success story lies messy challenges and chaos. She offers practical frameworks for identifying specific gaps in your business - whether in culture, strategy, execution, or team composition - and addressing them systematically instead of constantly putting out fires.
If you're feeling drained by your business or struggling with leadership challenges, this episode provides both validation and practical guidance. As Carly emphasizes, you don't have to normalize burnout or exhaustion. With the right support and personal development work, you can fall in love with your business again and lead from a place of empowerment rather than depletion.

Building Your Life from the Inside Out Will Transform Everything with Jacopo Iasiello
The Everlasting Fulfilment Podcast
Show some love or send your feedback
What happens when you achieve success but still feel empty inside? Jacopo's transformative journey from injured soccer player to real estate mogul reveals the missing piece that changes everything.
After building multiple successful businesses and completing over 350 real estate transactions, Jacopo found himself at a crossroads. Despite external achievements, something vital was missing. This crisis moment led him to develop what he now calls the MPBE method - Meditation, Pray, Biohacking, and Exercise - a systematic approach to building internal abundance as the foundation for sustainable success.
The conversation explores how starting each day with Transcendental Meditation and intentional visualization creates a flow state where creativity and inspiration naturally emerge. Jacopo shares the research-backed practices that allow him to maintain balance across all twelve aspects of life - from relationships and health to business and finances. This holistic approach explains why so many financially successful people experience profound unhappiness; they've neglected critical dimensions of their human experience.
What makes Jacopo's perspective especially valuable is how he combines ancient wisdom with practical business application. The four principles guiding his life - Research, Growth, Action, and Contribution - form a framework anyone can apply regardless of their current circumstances. His morning routine has become the cornerstone of not just his business success but his overall life fulfillment.
Perhaps most inspiring is Jacopo's commitment to giving back. All proceeds from his bestselling book "Healthy, Rich and Happy" support Hermano della Calle, an organization helping homeless individuals regain dignity. This exemplifies his belief that true abundance comes from contribution, not accumulation.

Breaking Out of Life's Boxes with Betsy Pepine
The Everlasting Fulfilment Podcast
Show some love or send your feedback
What invisible boxes are constraining your potential? Bestselling author and award-winning real estate entrepreneur Betsy Pepine joins us to explore how expectations - from family, society, industry norms, and even ourselves - can confine us in ways we don't initially recognize.
Betsy shares her personal journey of discovering deep discontent despite outward success. "I didn't feel like I had the right to be unhappy," she reveals, describing how this realization led her through a transformative exploration using journaling, meditation, therapy, and other healing modalities. The common thread she discovered? Feeling confined by expectations that didn't align with her authentic self - like "an Amazon mattress compressed into a box, yet to be opened."
This awareness transformed not only her personal life but revolutionized her business approach. Breaking industry conventions, she created salaried positions in her real estate brokerage - an unheard-of model in a commission-driven industry. This outside-the-box thinking solved a critical problem, allowing talented individuals who couldn't weather the commission rollercoaster to thrive in real estate.
The conversation dives deep into the three fears that keep us confined: fear of failure, fear of change, and fear of loss. Betsy offers practical wisdom for addressing each, including her daily practice of intentional discomfort-seeking to strengthen her "change muscle," and her refreshing perspective on failure: "Dogs never wonder if they're going to fail at chasing a squirrel - this fear is entirely human-made."
Whether you're feeling trapped by industry expectations, cultural norms, or self-imposed limitations, this episode offers a roadmap for recognizing and dismantling the boxes that no longer serve you. As Betsy reminds us, "You can't get out of a box you don't know you're in."

The Art of Embracing Failure: Leadership Lessons from Wall Street to SaaS with Peter Bonney
The Everlasting Fulfilment Podcast
Show some love or send your feedback
Peter Bonney's fascinating journey from Wall Street hedge fund partner to SaaS founder reveals powerful leadership lessons that resonate across industries. With refreshing candor, Bonney explores how his perspective on leadership dramatically shifted when transitioning from the short-term, quarterly-focused world of investment management to the long-horizon strategic thinking required in building software companies.
The conversation delves into Bonney's most valuable leadership insights—particularly his self-awareness around delegation and team management. Rather than highlighting successes, he candidly discusses mistakes that shaped his approach, describing a "pendulum swing" in his leadership style. After recognizing his tendency to be too hands-off and reluctant to make personnel changes, he deliberately adopted the opposite approach in his current venture. This conscious counterbalancing has led to greater efficiency while allowing him to fully trust proven team members in critical areas.
Bonney's explanation of Software as a Service (SaaS) provides clarity for listeners unfamiliar with the technology, highlighting how cloud delivery revolutionized software access for businesses. But the real value comes from his practical wisdom about leadership challenges—the delicate balance between taking risks and exercising caution, knowing when to delegate versus handling responsibilities personally, and recognizing when something isn't working.
Most inspiring is Bonney's perspective on professional growth and resilience. At 47, he feels he's "just ramping up" rather than winding down, with decades of experience now converging to maximize his capabilities. His parting message resonates deeply: face failure, learn from it, and do better next time. We're all imperfect humans with room to grow. Take risks and make mistakes—you'll have plenty of opportunities to put those lessons into practice.

Controlling Your Digital Legacy: Mastering Personal Brand in the AI Era with Jason Barnard
The Everlasting Fulfilment Podcast
Show some love or send your feedback
What happens when AI knows more about you than you control? Jason Barnard, CEO of Kalicube, reveals the hidden forces shaping how search engines and AI systems represent us online—and why taking control is now an existential necessity.
Most professionals don't realize they're losing opportunities daily because of how they appear in search results and AI responses. When decision-makers Google your name or ask ChatGPT about you before million-dollar deals, what will they find? The answer could make or break your business and career trajectory.
Jason shares his remarkable journey from being identified as "a cartoon blue dog" (despite being a successful entrepreneur) to mastering how machines perceive him. Through fascinating real-world examples, he demonstrates how anyone can strategically manage their digital narrative to showcase their true value and authority.
This conversation goes far beyond traditional reputation management. As AI becomes embedded in everyday software like Microsoft Windows and Google Workspace, these systems make judgments about you that influence others invisibly. Without proper guidance, AI might associate you with the wrong information or even confuse you with others sharing your name—like the Jason Barnard caught speeding at 160km/h (who wasn't our guest!).
The implications escalate as we approach technological singularity. "If you haven't got control now, what happens when they get smarter than you?" Jason asks. "You need those machines to have the reference, which is your website today, because it will be ingrained in their brains in the future."

Slowing Down to Speed Up: The Leader's Paradox with Michael Levitt
The Everlasting Fulfilment Podcast
Show some love or send your feedback
Ever notice how every sport includes timeouts? Those crucial moments when teams pause, regroup, and strategize are essential for victory—yet in leadership, we often believe constant motion equals success. Michael Levitt, global thought leader on burnout and workplace culture, challenges this dangerous misconception.
This conversation explores burnout not as a sudden collapse but as the culmination of accumulated choices and mindset patterns. The World Health Organization classified burnout as a "workplace phenomenon" that manifests when we're physically and mentally overwhelmed—but what's fascinating is how two people in identical positions can have drastically different experiences.
Michael shares his personal burnout journey, revealing how the path to recovery begins with childlike curiosity rather than self-judgment. "Approach everything with curiosity," he advises. "Ask why was that important to me? Why did I want to be a pillar in that community? To what end goal?"
For leaders experiencing isolation at the top, practical strategies emerge throughout our discussion. Quality sleep serves as the foundation for everything else. Writing thoughts down physically (not typing) helps transfer mental burdens to paper. Having trusted mentors who provide both cheerleading and honest critique creates crucial balance.
Perhaps most counterintuitive yet essential is the practice of strategic pausing. As Michael notes, "If you're constantly going, you're going to miss the exit ramp or opportunity because you're just going right past it." The wisdom in "The Tortoise and the Hare" contains profound leadership lessons—slow, steady progress ultimately outperforms frantic activity.
Ready to transform your leadership approach? Join us for this enlightening conversation that might just save you from burnout while enhancing your effectiveness. Remember: sometimes slowing down is exactly what you need to speed up results.

Dennis shares his journey from marketing veteran to podcast network founder, revealing the powerful strategy behind their rapid growth to 100 clients in just ten months.

This "market-to-me strategy" transforms attorneys from being one name on a list to becoming the obvious expert choice for specific legal issues.
The conversation shifts to remote leadership as Dennis unpacks his philosophy: "You want the privilege of working from home. There is responsibility in all privilege." Through a blend of accountability tools, public praise, private coaching, and team-based incentives, Dennis has cultivated a culture where team members across continents feel deeply connected despite never having met in person.
What's particularly refreshing is Dennis's emphasis on flexibility and trust. Team members have 12-hour windows to complete their work, allowing them to structure their days around personal needs while still meeting deliverables. This approach treats professionals as responsible adults capable of managing their time effectively without micromanagement.

Great Leaders Know When to Say Yes and When to Say No with Doug Thorpe
The Everlasting Fulfilment Podcast
Show some love or send your feedback
Leadership isn't just about making decisions—it's about knowing exactly when to say yes, when to say no, and having the confidence to stand by those choices. In this thought-provoking conversation with executive coach Doug Thorpe, we explore the transformative journey from individual contributor to strategic leader, uncovering the hidden challenges that emerge when subject matter experts assume management roles.
Doug shares fascinating insights from his unique background as both a licensed pilot and former military officer, drawing surprising parallels between flight training and leadership development. He explains why being promoted among peers creates immediate psychological hurdles, and why sometimes joining a new company as a manager can actually be easier than climbing the ranks internally.
The most powerful revelation comes when Doug distinguishes between the science of leadership (data, analysis, spreadsheets) and the art of leadership (reading the market, trusting instinct). Through compelling real-world examples—from a bank chairman's counterintuitive decision to delay ATM implementation to Chick-fil-A's unwavering commitment to Sunday closure despite Wall Street criticism—we see how strategic patience and values-driven leadership create distinctive competitive advantages.
Whether you're a new team leader struggling to manage former colleagues, a director transitioning from tactical execution to strategic thinking, or a C-suite executive balancing growth with core values, this episode offers invaluable wisdom for navigating your leadership journey.
