  Meditate daily or workout daily? | Ep 379

  Sep 6, 20261 minS1

  Would you rather meditate daily or workout daily? That's the question we recently discussed with Kristina Gent, CEO at SIX° Connections. Kristina chooses lifting weights. It makes her feel strong, gives her mind a break, and becomes its own form of meditation. There is a useful lesson here for CEOs thinking about writing a book: clarity does not always arrive while staring at a blinking cursor. Sometimes your best ideas show up while lifting something heavier than your manuscript. Find the activity that clears your head, then capture the stories, lessons, and ideas that surface. Those insights could become the foundation of your book. Less than 2% of books achieve bestseller status according to Forbes. As a 2X bestselling author featured on the Amazon bestseller list for 85+ weeks as well as on BBC TV & Times Square, and named a Top Consultant of the Year by Product Marketing Alliance, I’m on a mission to transform CEOs into bestselling authors. If you know a CEO who wants to write a bestselling book (the gold standard of thought leadership!) with my done-for-you service (pay ZERO upfront and only pay per week that your book achieves Amazon bestseller status) while I handle the heavy lifting (ghostwriting, cover design, launch, promotion, publicity in NY Times Square & ABCnews / CBSnews / NBCnews affiliates and more) visit: https://cariboustrategic.com/s

  Episode #378

  Win awards or win advocacy? | Ep 378

  Aug 29, 20262 minS1

  Would you rather win awards or win advocacy? That's the question we recently discussed with Scott Arias, Founder at ACE Consulting Company. Scott chooses advocacy, even with five years on the Inc. 5000. He shares why ACE invests back into its local community and why advocacy matters especially when connecting with Gen Z, who increasingly want to support something bigger than themselves. For CEOs thinking about writing a book, there’s a lesson here too: awards look great on a shelf. Advocacy gets people talking about your ideas when you’re not in the room. And your book can give them something worth talking about. Less than 2% of books achieve bestseller status according to Forbes.

  Episode #377

  Hire independent thinkers or aligned operators? | Ep 377

  Aug 23, 20262 minS1

  Wisdom From Wizards #377: Would you rather hire highly independent thinkers who challenge decisions or highly aligned operators who execute flawlessly? That's the question we recently discussed with Ed Macha, CEO at Reliable Controls. Ed’s answer is both, depending on the role. He wants C-suite leaders who challenge his thinking and field teams who follow procedures with precision. One group questions the playbook. The other runs the play without improvising a surprise musical number. CEOs writing books need both, too. A strong editor challenges weak ideas, while a skilled publishing team executes every detail. A room full of yes-people may feel pleasant, but it rarely produces a powerful book. Check out more such insights in my bestselling business book Wisdom From Wizards on Amazon. Less than 2% of books achieve bestseller status according to Forbes.

  Episode #376

  Would you rather retire wealthy or fulfilled? | Ep 376

  Aug 15, 20262 minS1

  Would you rather retire wealthy or fulfilled? That's the question we recently discussed with Dave Hansen, CEO at ClientTether. Dave admits fulfillment does not exactly cover the dinner bill, but he still chooses it over a bigger bank balance. He shares that successful people rarely reach the end of life wishing they had earned more. They think about legacy, relationships, and whether they left people and communities better than they found them. For Dave, coaching baseball makes that real. Watching young players grow into adults, fathers, and leaders brings a return no spreadsheet can calculate. CEOs thinking about writing a book should take note: a book can capture the lessons, values, and stories that define your legacy long after the quarterly numbers fade.

  Episode #375

  Manage global risk or local complexity? | Ep 375

  Aug 10, 20262 minS1

  Would you rather manage global risk or local complexity? That's the question we recently discussed with Barri Blauvelt, CEO at Innovara. Barri explains that global risk does not faze her team. The bigger challenge is the economic cycle. When markets weaken, training and development is often one of the first corporate budgets to meet the red pen. Internal trainers also protect their roles, making outsourcing less likely. For CEOs thinking about writing a book, there is a useful lesson here: your expertise becomes more valuable when it addresses the risks your clients cannot simply budget-cut away. A book should not merely prove you are smart. Your LinkedIn profile already handles that humble task. Your book should show readers how you think when conditions get complicated. Check out more such insights in my bestselling business book Wisdom From Wizards. Check it out on Amazon.
