In part two of Andy’s conversation with bestselling author and researcher Jim Collins, they continue exploring one of life’s biggest questions: What do you make of your life?

Drawing from a decade of research, Jim shares insights on choosing responsibilities, staying focused on what you’re uniquely wired to do, and why some of the most meaningful work of your life may still be ahead of you.

Joy isn’t optional for leaders, it’s what keeps you connected to the story that makes your work matter.

In this episode, Andy sits down with Kate Bowler to explore why joy isn’t a distraction from leadership—it’s what sustains it. Joy doesn’t come from solving every problem or achieving every goal. Instead, it reconnects leaders to the deeper story behind their work—the reason it matters in the first place.

If you’ve ever reached a goal and felt an unexpected emptiness, you’re not alone. Success has a way of delivering a moment, but not a lasting sense of meaning.

In this REVERB conversation, Suzy Gray and Andy unpack why achievement alone falls short and what actually creates a meaningful life. Meaning isn’t found in what you accomplish, but in who you serve. When your life becomes a means to something beyond yourself, you trade the cycle of chasing the next win for something far more lasting. The challenge for every leader is to be intentional—because if you’re not, success can quietly drift into something that feels surprisingly empty.

You can be successful and still feel like something’s missing from your life. A meaningful life is built when your life makes sense to you, has purpose and direction, and is rooted in healthy relationships.

In this episode, Andy Stanley sits down with Arthur Brooks, bestselling author and Harvard professor, to explore why so many successful people still feel unfulfilled.

Together, they unpack the three essential components of meaning, why our culture is making it harder to find, and how even suffering can become a catalyst for deeper clarity and growth. They also explore the shift from a self-focused life to one centered on serving others and why that shift changes everything.

If you’ve ever felt busy but off, or successful but unsatisfied, this conversation will help you realign what matters most and take a simple first step toward a more meaningful life and leadership.

In last week’s episode, Andy sat down with his Executive Assistant of nearly 30 years, Diane Grant, to talk about one of the most overlooked leadership advantages: a strong leader–assistant partnership.

In this REVERB episode, Andy and Suzy unpack what it takes to make that partnership work well. They discuss how trust multiplies leadership capacity, why many leaders struggle to release decision-making to their assistants, and why saying “you decide” may be one of the most important leadership moves you can make.

Anxiety doesn’t always come from danger, it often comes from false needs. In this REVERB episode, Andy Stanley and co-host Suzy Gray reflect on last week’s conversation with Steve Cuss to explore how unseen anxieties shape leadership decisions. From perfectionism and control to approval-seeking, they discuss the triggers that cause leaders to power up or pull back under pressure. Andy shares practical insights on lowering the emotional temperature, choosing clarity when certainty isn’t possible, and leading with calm presence when everyone is looking for answers—so fear doesn’t set the direction.

Anxiety is something every leader deals with. The best leaders learn to recognize and manage it before it becomes contagious and spreads in their organization. In this episode, Andy Stanley and Steve Cuss explore why many leaders don’t recognize anxiety in themselves until it begins shaping their teams and culture. You’ll discover how false needs like control, perfectionism, and people-pleasing fuel reactivity—and why unmanaged anxiety is contagious.

Great leaders accomplish more by doing less—protecting margin, fully leveraging their unique strengths, and keeping the vision in front of their teams. In this episode, Andy Stanley and Jason Jaggard discuss why focus is a leadership discipline, not a personality trait. When leaders stop trying to do everything and instead focus on the work only they can do, the organization grows, the team gains clarity, and momentum accelerates. This episode explores the habits that keep leaders out of the weeds, thinking strategically, and empowering others to lead.

Unexpressed gratitude is perceived as ingratitude. In this episode, Andy Stanley and co-host Suzy Gray unpack one of the most overlooked leadership habits—expressing gratitude. Most leaders feel thankful for their teams but fail to say it out loud. And when we don’t express gratitude, people don’t assume we’re busy—they assume we’re ungrateful. But appreciation builds loyalty, strengthens culture, and fuels motivation far more effectively than paychecks or perks ever could.
