Best Places to Lead · Leading yourself
How do I lead myself: mindset, resilience, focus?
I host Best Places to Lead, and at twenty-six I worked 100-hour weeks until I ended up on a gurney with chest pains, so I take self-leadership seriously. These episodes are about mindset, resilience, focus, routines, and taking a break before the noise takes you.

Questions
What does this theme cover?
Mindset, resilience, durability, focus, routines, slumps, change, and the mission behind the show. It’s the leader’s own operating system: what you do with yourself before you do anything with the team.
Which episode should I start with?
Start with Ep 27, How To Find Focus as a Leader with the CEO Who Learned To Do Only Three Things with Trey Taylor, because it’s about a CEO who learned to do only three things, and focus is the self-leadership problem most leaders never solve.
