What makes a good leader? This is a question Clint is devoted to exploring to discover what it really means to lead with excellence. Something that great leaders have in common is a philosophy of unity and accountability. They understand when it's time to convince versus when it's time to convene and great leaders spend more time bringing their people together, rather than pushing them in a single direction. Tune in to hear more of what sets the best founders and business leaders apart from the rest as we dive into more of their stories from the front lines.
1:55 Are we being manipulated?
3:05 Contemplating modern existance
3:44 What we lack is leadership.
4:13 What do great leaders have in common?
4:50 "If you can't lead yourself, who's to say you can lead others?"
5:36 Convince vs. Convene
7:57 Treat everyone like they matter.
Where are the grandchildren? Someone needs to sit these boomers down to explain how and why encrypted technology exists. Or maybe a millennial staffer could show them how much money the government they happen to lead spends on cybersecurity every year. Either way, an intervention is needed.Thank you for listening.

I asked Traeger Grills CEO Jeremy Andrus how we get out of this current economic downturn. "How do we get out of this? he replied. "For better or worse, we don't all get out of this. This is part of the culling process of an economy, and it's the invisible hand that fixes it, that takes care of all these things. And it's the intersection between things right-sizing themselves, inflation right-sizing itself." Read more at CEO.com.

I was born in Utah and, God willing, I'll die in Utah. To live in this state, one must have some sort of relationship or view on The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Rumor has it they founded this state.

One thing I like about the news is the formality. They create an aura of professionalism and seriousness, which somehow makes you forget they’re incapable of either.
Don’t get me wrong—I like a good charade.
Why not dress up like you’re going to a cocktail party every night while reading words someone else wrote off a teleprompter? The deadly combination of formal wear, an expensive haircut, and a somber look can change the world.

Some companies are banning political discussions in the workplace. Coinbase and Basecamp are high-profile examples, but this appears to be something that's catching on amongst a wide array of businesses. Does this make sense? Do politics belong in the workplace?

While the company has silenced its IPO critics by being worth far more than many — including most media outlets — thought was possible, the attacks on Facebook and its founder have increased. And so have the stakes. The question is no longer whether Facebook is valuable. The question now is whether Facebook is too valuable and too powerful — with far too much influence on society.

The CEO.com Show will begin with a series of episodes examining Facebook. In particular, the company’s meteoric rise, its effect on journalism, political campaigns, and on the public’s mental health. We’ll also explore whether or not it’s a monopoly and strive to gain a better understanding of the debate it’s helped to ignite around the very idea of truth.
