Start your day with clarity! As leaders, we have countless things on our mind: things we need to do, things we’re not doing, problems we need to solve, new exciting ideas––all jotted down in that worn out mental notebook we keep in our heads.
But, sometimes leaders and entrepreneurs simply need to step away from the mental clutter––sometimes we don’t need the notebook, we just need a sticky note––a simple reminder along the way to help us gain clarity and control of our business.
That’s why we created a new FREE resource called The 261. As you may know, there are 261 work days in the calendar year. So, we have mapped out the entire year with daily micro thoughts and micro actions––sticky notes––to help keep the ball moving forward in your personal life as a leader and for the sake of your business.

Positive Intelligence by Shirzad Chamine
One commonly shared idea in the work force is the idea that the less work one has to do, the better. Although true in some cases, Dr. Tracy Brower, author of The Secrets to Happiness At Work, challenges this notion––pointing out pervasive trends such as “quiet quitting” and increased disengagement at work.
According to Brower the key is not to work less; the key is to find joy in your work. Work presents some of the greatest opportunities for growth, connection, and happiness. Join this conversation with Dr. Brower and Benj Miller as they discuss the “assault” on work, the greatest potentials for the future of work, and the vital importance of connection and community.

This week, we dig deeper into the concept of intentionality, a key component for success in both our personal and professional lives. Intentionality is the deliberate practice of controlling our behavior, thoughts, and actions to create a desired outcome.
In this episode, we continue our conversation with Robby Angle, Mark Butler, and Benj Miller, to dig one layer deeper and examine what factors help leaders identify the areas in which they need to be intentional. Learn with us as we discuss manifesting our preferred future and achieving our goals through purpose and intentionality.

Ambitious business owners understand how valuable every minute of every day is. But even if you're committed to working hard, it can be easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle of the day. Being intentional means taking the time to evaluate your goals and objectives, as well as your processes and strategies, to ensure that you’re heading in the right direction.
That’s why, this week, Benj Miller begins a two-part series in which he and two of his most intentional-skilled friends, Robby Angle and Mark Butler, talk have a heart-to-heart conversation about the ways they’re being intentional this year as it relates to family, business, faith, and relationships.

He also touches on what coaches should do when they find themselves in a season that seems to offer little in return for their time and effort. This is a conversation every business coach needs to hear.

But, as our good friend, award-winning speaker, self-awareness specialist, and communications expert, Michael Allosso reminds us, we have agency with our happiness.
Michael shares how theater and leadership have taught him to set objectives for every life situation and how doing so can put you in control of the way you show up as a leader and as an authentic human being. This is a conversation every leader needs to hear!

Your business is powered by human energy. When a leader develops the skill of fostering a healthy culture and safe atmosphere within their organization, it probably stems from their own self-growth and development. You can’t give what you do not have. In other words, an unhealthy leader cannot create a healthy organization.
This week on System & Soul, we invite Atlanta entrepreneur, J.R. McNair onto the show. J.R. is an author and founder of Small Business Day––the nation’s largest startup launch event. J.R. and Chris White discuss the Five Pillars of a Healthy Entrepreneur and the importance of proactively engineering your company’s culture.

That’s why we created a new FREE resource called The 261. As you may know, there are 261 work days in the calendar year. So, we have mapped out the entire year with daily micro thoughts and micro actions––sticky notes––to help keep the ball moving forward in your personal life as a leader and for the sake of your business.
If you want to start your day with clarity and receive a short, helpful thought to jumpstart your leadership, please go to The261.com and sign up!

Happy Holidays System and Soulville!
We wanted to make this episode short and sweet as we make a fun announcement about the new year and what you can expect from System and Soul after the coming weeks. But, we also wanted to offer a thought for the holiday season.
We all have mixed feelings about the holidays. For some it’s stressful, over commercialized, and chaotic. For others it’s a happy, festive, and even nostalgic season. But what most of us have in common during this time is that we all have a hope for next year. In this episode, Benj Miller reminds us that as we hope, there are always two forces at play within us: love and fear. So, as you hope and dream for the next year, remember that the thoughts and distractions that creep in and stifle our big ideas about what could be come from our fear.
This season, let’s focus on the love, let’s hope a little bit more, let’s dream and little bit bigger, and let’s make next year the best one yet! We’ll be here on the journey with you to help make those big ideas come true and to help you gain more clarity and control.
See you next year!

What are you optimizing for? This is one of the best questions you can ask yourself during this season of your business. Whether you’re on purpose or not, you’re optimizing your business for something, but unless it’s intentional, you may end up optimizing for the wrong thing––trajecting your business in a direction you don’t want it to go.
In today’s tip, Benj Miller explains the many things some businesses optimize themselves for, and how asking yourself this question can set your business on the path to accomplishing the core vision your business is designed to achieve.

Are you a personality assessment junkie? Do you pee a little bit when someone mentions the Enneagram or Myers Briggs? We sure hope not, because that sounds like something you need to see your doctor about. …anyways, if you’ve taken any personality assessment, you may have noticed that they typically place people on a spectrum of either relationship-oriented or task-oriented. And, depending on where you fall on the spectrum can determine how well you succeed in different areas of your work and how well you collaborate with others.
In this week’s S2 Tip, Benj Miller walks you through two lifehacks that will help people, wherever they are on the relationship/task spectrum, become more intuitive in the areas in which they struggle. The result will help you possess a better understanding of yourself, the people you collaborate with, and the people you lead.

What’s the most pressure you’ve ever been under? Most likely, there is a great story behind that question––either about overcoming a big obstacle or learning an important lesson.
This week on the podcast, we have invited Dane Jenson, CEO of Third Factor, to talk about his new book, The Power of Pressure.

One of our most talked about episodes was our ninth episode, which featured John Ott. John talked about what is meant to be an “inwardly sound” leader. Based on his research, an inwardly sound leader poses self-awareness, is principled, purposeful, holistically healthy, secure and settled.
In this week’s tips Benj Miller approaches these traits from a new angle in order to discover what it would look like if your business was inwardly sound. Then he challenges you to identify the biggest gap in your business as it relates to these traits and to ask yourself, “What is the one next step I can take to fill that gap?”

The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown
Often, leaders get confused between principles and prescriptions. It would be nice if all the self-help books that offer a clean-cut formula to run your business actually worked as seamlessly as they sound. But the best leaders know that business is more complex than that. The best leaders know the difference between principles and prescriptions.
Principles help shape how we live, lead, and the decisions we make. These are our mental models of how the engine works. But often times, it’s too easy to want prescriptions. Prescriptions are a great way to gloss over the problems that needs fixing. In this episode, Benj Miller explains the importance of collecting principles, not prescriptions.

We are so excited to invite our good friend and fan favorite, Dr. Benjamin Hardy, back onto the podcast. Dr. Hardy is the bestselling author of Willpower Doesn't Work, Personality Isn't Permanent, and Who Not How. He joins us on System & Soul to talk about his recently released book, The Gap and the Gain, which he co-authored with Dan Sullivan.
Dr. Hardy explains that every experience can be leveraged into a “gain.” Rather than allowing your experiences to happen to you, great leaders happen to their own experiences. The difference means being the creator of your experiences instead of the consumer of your experiences.
This episode is brought to you by System & Soul Coaching.
Are you limiting your impact as a leader? We know you’re experienced in the world of business, entrepreneurship, and leadership development. We know you’re smart, intentional, business-savvy folks. But are you playing too small?
One of the greatest steps you can take after years of leading a company or organization is to become a coach for other businesses. I’ve been a business coach for over 10 years after a 20 year corporate career, and I have to tell you, I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.

Leading a business today requires higher social and emotional skills than ever before. And today’s guest is a seasoned author who has discovered that many of those skills are seemingly paradoxical.
In today’s episode we speak with Tim Elmore, Founder of Growing Leaders, to talk about his 37th book (that’s right, 37th book), The Eight Paradoxes of Great Leadership. He explains that leadership, at its core, means solving problems and helping people, which requires paradoxes such as confidence and humility, and leveraging vision as well as blindspots, just to name a few. This insightful conversation is one every leader needs to hear!

How do you know if the team you have is the team you need? Companies evolve, but sometimes people don’t, and the growth of a company doesn’t always mean the growth of the individual––especially if the the team hasn’t identified their core values.
In this week’s S2 Tip, Chris and Benj discuss a question sent in by a listener. They identify the importance of making sure everyone is a healthy fit from the hiring process––that they are fueled by their role, are able to make an impact in the organization, and that it’s the right timing for their career. They also discuss how the right fit can change as the company evolves. If you’re asking yourself, “Is the team I have the team I need?”, you definitely don’t want to miss this tip.

Wouldn’t it be nice sometimes if you could put life on auto-pilot? According to Tanya Dalton, this is possible by creating intentional habits. Tanya is a best-selling author, speaker, and nationally recognized productivity expert who joins us on S2 to talk about her new book On Purpose, in which she helps readers build systems at home and work that lead to an “extraordinary life of meaning and success.”
In this episode, she explains how creating strategic habits in our lives allows us to focus less on the least important, more on the most important––ultimately creating more fulfilling lives. She also discusses her Impact Goal System and the idea of “cathedral thinking.”

Did you know that the average person begins to feel unsettled after merely four seconds of silence in a conversation? We don’t like silence. We are downright uncomfortable with it. And when there isn’t noise we freak out! Anybody else sleep with a noise machine? So how, in a world of perpetual, overlapping noise, does a leader get the time to think and reflect on the health and soul of their business?
The leaders who can embrace the quiet and confront the uncomfortable will tell you that’s where the magic happens. That’s the space in which the big picture becomes clearer and the immediate seems less significant (because most of the time it is). This is the space where problems are identified, clarity is gained, and ideas are sparked! In this S2 Tip, Chris White shares a story of a friend who recently gained massive clarity during their own clarity break, and he encourages you to not rob yourself of the same opportunity.

Philosophers, scientists, and perhaps the particularly reflective daydreamers alike, have all marveled at the question, “What is the soul?” Here at S2, we couldn’t have founded a company called System & Soul without giving a considerable amount of thought to that question as it relates to, not only the human soul, but the soul of the business.
Today, Benj Miller and Chris White dive into the S2 Framework and discuss how it prioritizes the soul of the business and helps accelerate the value of the organization and its attractiveness to the market. You’ll learn how S2 defines the soul of the business and its components and how this foundation is the best framework for helping you gain clarity and control in your business.

One of our most talked about S2 episodes to date was with John Ott. In that episode John discusses the two most desirable attributes that make a great leader––inwardly sound and others-focused. Today we’re going to add two more attributes to this to paint the picture of a great coach.
In this S2 Tip, Benj Miller discusses the importance of strategic thinking and effective communication, and he dives into the key practices that leaders must embrace in order to possess these leadership attributes.

Let’s have a soul conversation. An increasing number of leaders today are discovering the benefits of taking a spiritual approach to executive leadership. This week, we are super excited to learn from Kristoffer Carter, a spiritual teacher, author, and executive coach who teaches leaders to harness the opportunity of chaos through spiritual practices and allow it to guide them to achieving their biggest goals.
In this episode, Kristoffer walks us through the components of his new book Permission to Glow, which teaches leaders how to access their highest expressions in life and leadership through The 4 Permissions. He also discusses the four most common “frenemies”––counter productive leadership traits that act as obstacles to our leadership.

Did you know that the plural form of the word “priorities” wasn’t used commonly until the 1950’s? That’s because it’s an oxymoron. A priority, by definition, refers to the thing that’s in first place. If you have more than one thing in first place, essentially, you have nothing in first place.
In this week’s S2 Tip, Benj Miller challenges us to rethink our understanding our own priorities and narrow them down to one thing. Doing so may very well provide some clarity and control in your leadership and your business by homing in on that one thing you need to own.

No, when you think of these names, you think of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, “the show where everything is made up, and the points don’t matter.” But, as it turns out, the actors and comedians who wow us from stage with their off-the-cuff, on-the-fly wit, often follow an unofficial set of rules called The Rules of Improv, which surprisingly “set the stage” for some insightful and helpful tips that we can implement to make our businesses better, healthier, and more efficient.

It IS possible for your organization to engineer its culture. Too many businesses today just passively accept the current culture they posses without take steps to actively and intentionally cultivate the healthy, productive, profitable culture they could have.
To talk about engineering culture, who better to invite onto the System & Soul podcast than an actual engineer who has helped create a thriving culture within his own organization? Today Chris and Benj are joined by Jude Homola, Founding Partner at Windsor Engineers, to discuss the “spherical growth concept,” how his engineering mindset helped him shape his organization’s culture, and how core values play into the model of Windsor Engineers’ culture.

Any organization that wants to operate with clarity needs to have a hierarchal structure. That’s Business 101. Perhaps the most popular way businesses organize this structure is through an organizational chart, which maps out all the roles, functions, and relationships to other roles. Also, Business 101. What isn’t Business 101 is how to build an org. chart.
In this week’s S2 Tip, Chris White explains a functional, systematic way of organizing the structure of your business. It’s what we at System & Soul do to build and organize our team, and it’s one of the most foundational tools we use to gain clarity and control in our business.

When an organization wants their business to grow, they need to equip their people to grow first. That’s why we are stoked to invite Larry Dorfman, the former Founder CEO of APCO Holdings and Partner at Roots Real Estate Exchange onto the podcast. Larry takes us on his journey of personal growth and how it drove him to instill a culture of self-improvement within his own companies.
He talks about what it takes to get ideas and culture “upstream” to the c-suite leaders, and how he had to modify his org. chart to accommodate this upgrade in culture. Larry also also shares the meaningful work he’s doing in the real estate rental space which sets renters up for financial success rather than draining them of their hard-earned money.

Every business leader, no matter great they are, experiences ruts—or as Seth Godin calls them, dips—in their business. These dips can be discouraging, draining, and just down right not fun!
But as Godin says, don’t think of the dip as a dip. Think of it more like a moat––is just something you have to swim through to get to your business, or “the castle.” The moat is the thing that separates you from the competition. It’s what only you are willing to swim through to create the company you want to create.
So, instead of our usual tip this week, we just wanted to encourage you: if you’re in a dip right now, change your mindset and imagine it’s just a moat. If you’re not in a dip right now, keep this in your pocket for a rainy day.

Before the pandemic, the workplace was increasingly becoming imbued with distraction, disengagement, and distrust. Unfortunately, the pandemic heightened some of these unhealthy culture symptoms by withholding from employees some of their most basic human needs.
Now, before that dark cloud of a paragraph above makes you want to pull out your umbrella, take a breath, and don’t fear, because Scott Mann is hear! Joining us for his third time, retired Green Beret, founder of Rooftop Leadership and The Heroes Journey, Scott Mann teaches us the critical leadership skill of human connection and the role it plays in developing healthy, safe, effective teams and organizations.
Scott points out that when we don’t understand our most basic human drives, the more we become removed from them, and the more they show up in our lives, our leadership, and in the workplace. But the leaders who lead with purpose and human connection skills are the ones who thrive, especially during crisis.

Let’s quit flirting with our dreams, and start committing to them. When we don’t take the time to get clarity on what we want for our business or in our life, we create a cloud of ambiguity over our journey getting there.

According to research from Gallup involving 10,000 people in “follower” roles between 2005 and 2008, leaders who were “perceived to be trustworthy and compassionate and who offer stability and hope have a significant impact on their employees.”
In this week’s tips, Benj Miller discusses these essential needs, but also reminds us that we cannot give what we do not have. Before leaders can offer trust, compassion, stability, and hope, they must first possess these characteristics within themselves.

There’s a big difference between being open to questions and actively inviting questions. Asking a question is a vulnerable thing––it implies you don’t know the answer. And, no one wants to feel like the person in last place. But behind whatever big issue your company is trying to solve, there is a great question that needs to be asked. That’s why everyone on your team needs to know they have permission to ask the great, hard, necessary questions that will take your team to the next level.
In this S2 Tip we talk about the importance of actively creating a culture where people feel free and comfortable to ask questions. A question could be the very thing you need to solve big issues and gain clarity in your business.

Giving and receiving feedback is one of an entrepreneur’s greatest assets. But many of us fall into the trap of thinking that in order to give effective feedback, you either have to be a jerk or your feedback has to be sugarcoated.
This week on System & Soul, we talk with CEO of Radical Candor, Jason Rosoff, to learn about his organization’s work helping businesses navigate this very complex but necessary aspect of communication. The process of giving feedback can be affected by so many factors including power dynamics, human complexity, sexism, and prejudice. Jason helps us understand the inner work that must be done in leaders before clear, kind, effective criticism can be practiced in a constructive way.

Perhaps one of the biggest topics today, when it comes to team health, is vulnerability. If you’re tired of hearing about vulnerability, you probably don’t understand what it is or how useful it can be to your organization. So, what does vulnerability actually look like on a team?
In today’s S2 Tip, Benj and McKenzie talk about some helpful ways to understand vulnerability so that you can create a safe culture in your team. Safety is important because it precedes vulnerability. When people step out with vulnerability and are met with safety, it forms an inclusive culture in your organization with the freedom to learn from, contribute with, and challenge others on the team. These are critical aspects of a team who can identify solutions to big issues and navigate obstacles in your business.

Dreaming big is intimidating when so much feels uncertain. That’s why many business leaders would rather lead their company to a safe (often overcrowded) destination instead of taking on the daunting task of navigating to a destination no one has been before.
This week we discuss three key questions your organization has to answer in order to identify where you want to plant your flag in the ground. Setting your destination will strengthen the soul side of your business. It will help you put a plan behind your aspirations. This is going to challenge you to think bigger than you already are and to identify what motivates you regardless of circumstances.

Think Again by Adam Grant
Defining your organization’s core values is key to providing clarity and control in your business. But defining your values improperly can leave you trapped––operating your company outside of its innate strengths.
Today on S2 Tips, Benj Miller walks through Patrick Lencioni’s three Value Traps. These are the pitfalls that organizations often experience when they set their values based on what is not core to their organization.
By avoiding these traps, you will gain more clarity and control in your business by embracing what is unique to your organization, identifying what values are current and relevant to your organization, and setting values that are innate to your identity and ethos.

When you introduce yourself to someone new, you probably start with your name and what you do for a living. But that doesn’t hold a candle to the incredibly complex, unique, interesting person that you really are or to the contribution that you are making to the world.
Your business is the same way. Most of the ways people will experience your business are on the surface level––name, mission statement, product, etc. But everything on the surface is a result of something deeper. It’s the essence of your organization––your ethos.
Today on System & Soul, we’re taking a deep dive into the ethos of your organization. Essentially, your ethos answers the question, “Who are we as an organization?” For many business leaders, the answer to this question can be elusive and hard to grasp. But identifying your ethos will give your employees the language to embody the essence of your organization and provide your customers and clients a clear picture of how your organization can best serve their needs.
That’s why, today, we take the mystery out of defining your business’s ethos and discuss the three components of ethos to help you answer that question for yourself. To learn more about your ethos and understanding what your organization can be the best at, check out the System & Soul Hedgehog Tool here.

So, you think you’re a good driver, huh? Well, research shows more people are not as good as they think they are. Same thing goes for listening skills. Turns out that nodding your head, interjecting the occasional “Ah hah,” refraining from interrupting, and regurgitating words don’t cut it for good listening skills.
In today’s System & Soul tip, Chris White discusses the qualities of a good listener, according to new research. Why is this important for you as a business leader? If you can’t listen, you can’t lead. Without good listening skills, how will you know core issues within your business? How will you gain insight into solutions? How will you foster a team that confides in you and feels heard? How will you build trust?
A lot is riding on your listening skills. If you’re interested in discovering more about your leadership and the health of your organization, visit us at SystemandSoul.com, and take our 5-minute diagnostic test on your company's health.

In one form or another, you’re probably heard, “What get’s measured gets managed.” That’s because metrics are insanely valuable assets that provide clarity and control in your organization! We’ve talked a lot about data-driven decisions on the podcast recently. But it’s easier to talk about data in theory than it is to practically implement it into your business.
That’s why, today, we’re sharing the scoreboard component of the System & Soul model. Your scoreboard is a practical way to assess and manage your business through data, metrics, and KPIs. In this episode we demystify the scoreboard, discuss common missteps in keeping a scoreboard, and explain why this is such a valuable tool for examining whether the core functions of your business are winning or not.
Whether you’re a pro at scoreboards, brand spanking new to scoreboards, or don’t know how or what to measure with your scoreboard, this episode will help you gain more clarity and control for your business.

You’re a leader who cares about getting results, achieving your vision, and caring for your team. But, if you’re a leader who lacks trust in your team’s ability to deliver on goals, you have two options: be a micromanager, or... give abundant clarity!
Most micromanagers find themselves in the weeds because they weren’t clear enough on the objective from the start.
In this week’s S2 Tip, you’ll learn about a tool at System & Soul called CAR, which will teach you how to be clear on objectives, give the freedom and trust to the people to execute, and be accountable to achieve the desired outcome.

Leadership is an elusive concept. Just about everyone has their own definition of what leadership is. And, most people’s definition is a reflection of who they are rather than the actual qualities that building a healthy, successful, and growing organization requires. This poses a potential problem in the workspace by creating subjective (often unspoken) expectations of leadership.
In this episode of System and Soul, we talk with our good friend John Ott, leadership development coach and Operator at Exceptional Leaders. John shares the components of leadership that he and his organization have identified through extensive research and data. Of the ten key attributes they’ve identified, two of them are responsible for three quarters of a leader’s effectiveness, according to their data. We discuss these two attributes and uncover some of the key practices many leaders often overlook when it comes to the soul of their organization.

When you’re in the grind, it’s hard to get the time you need to get clear on the biggest issues and opportunities in your business. That’s one big reason that breaks are a huge asset to entrepreneurs and business leaders. So, how do you spend your breaks?
In this week’s S2 Tip, we challenge you to take some time during your break (whether it’s vacation, a sabbatical, or even your intentional clarity break) to dig into the questions that will challenge you. Chris White shares the questions he’ll be asking on his vacation, and he encourages you to do the same. The questions you need to ask are the ones you keep putting off and avoiding. It’s time to get crystal clear.

Anybody else out there hate small talk? It’s so easy to ask pass/fail, yes/no questions that we’ve made a habit out of confusing small talk for real talk. Terrible questions give no room for creativity or collaboration. But great questions have the power to connect people, provide the opportunity to learn something new, and can reveal important issues in your business.
In this episode of S2 Tips, we encourage you to exercise your question-asking muscle. Asking “backdoor” questions is key to relating to your people, identifying problems, and opening the door for collaboration and input.

People are messy. Not “cluttered desk, haven’t showered in a couple days, Cheetos in the beard” kind of messy… hopefully. People are messy in the sense that we’re all different––we’re wired differently, we work differently, and we move at different speeds. This is a wonderful thing by the way. But, how does your organization ensure that people aren’t getting left behind, too far ahead, or off track because of these differences?
This is where “cadence” comes in. Cadence is the heartbeat of your organization––it’s the rhythm and process of making sure everyone is moving in the same direction at the same speed and pace. In this episode, we talk about the key components and practices that your organization should embrace to create, manage, and maintain its cadence.

Today on S2 Tips, we answer a listener question: What do you do when you have an employee who’s a bad fit for their seat, you don’t have anybody to fill the seat, and you don’t have an open seat to move this employee to? Do you stick with the bad fit, or do you let them go?
This may seem simple and straightforward. But, for many leaders, this is one of the hardest kinds of decisions to make for your business. That’s why Chris and Benj tag team on what the right decision is, and what happens after the decision is made.

"Logic makes people think. Emotion makes people act." The problem is, we often miss the right ways to access emotion in our teams and within our business for the sake of getting it all done. This episode will give you the systematic secret sauce.
In this episode, we bring back our good friend Scott Mann to tell us how he systematically navigates the "human terrain" to connect with reluctant followers on the defensive.
As a retired Lieutenant Colonel Green Beret and founder of Rooftop Leadership, he knows all about the importance of storytelling in leadership. As the meaning-seeking, emotional, social animals that humans are, a narrative is an important tool when it comes to breaking barriers that inhibit healthy, productive communication with anyone.
