It always starts with a moment. A moment when everything feels impossible. For Denise, it was standing at the crossroads of a career shift, staring down uncertainty like an opponent in the ring. For Sam, it was watching someone she believed in struggle—not because they lacked talent, but because they couldn’t see their own path forward. What makes the difference in those moments? It isn’t strength. It isn’t luck. It’s perspective . In this episode, Sam and Denise dive into Part One of The Obstacle Is the Way by Ryan Holiday, exploring the idea that how we see the world determines how we move through it . Through powerful real-world stories—like John D. Rockefeller during the financial collapse of 1857 and Ruben “Hurricane” Carter’s refusal to be broken by wrongful imprisonment—they break down the ways perception can either trap us or set us free. But this isn’t just about history. It’s about you . Denise reflects on the moments when a shift in perspective turned failure into opportunity—how choosing to see a roadblock as a challenge instead of an end point rewrote the story. Sam shares how learning to stay calm when everything screamed panic became the key to unlocking new possibilities. W e don’t control our circumstances, but we do control how we see them.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedDiscover the transformative power of military leadership principles in our exclusive new series featuring Denise Russo and special co-host Zach Elliott. This debut episode introduces a fresh perspective on leadership through the lens of military experience, specifically exploring how the disciplined, accountable leadership style of elite military units translates to business success. The conversation centers on the groundbreaking book "Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win" by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin. Together, Denise and Zach unpack why military leadership resonates so powerfully in corporate spaces – from the unwavering focus and accountability instilled in military personnel to their ability to build trust and take complete responsibility for outcomes. We explore the book's three-part framework that begins with mastering self-leadership ("winning the war within"), progresses to team dynamics ("laws of combat"), and culminates in strategic vision ("sustaining victory"). Throughout the discussion, our hosts emphasize that these aren't merely professional skills but life principles that transform how you approach challenges in every arena. What sets this leadership philosophy apart is its uncompromising stance on accountability. As the authors write, "Leaders must own everything in their world. There is no one else to blame." This mindset cuts through excuses and creates a foundation for exceptional performance in any organization. Whether you're leading a team of two or two thousand, these principles provide a roadmap for building trust, developing people, and achieving mission success. Join us on this journey through military-inspired leadership wisdom that will challenge your assumptions and elevate your effectiveness as a leader.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedIt starts with a storm. The year is 1857, and the economy is collapsing. Panic spreads like wildfire. Investors crumble. Businesses fail. But a young man named John D. Rockefeller doesn’t flinch. He watches. He studies. And while others see disaster, he sees an opening. That’s the power of perception. In this episode, Denise and Sam step inside The Obstacle Is The Way by Ryan Holiday, pulling real stories from history and personal experience to explore a truth that separates those who falter from those who rise: what we see—and how we choose to see it—determines everything. You’ll meet Ruben “Hurricane” Carter , a boxer wrongfully imprisoned for nearly 20 years, who refused to be caged in his own mind. His words— “I will not under any circumstances be treated like a prisoner” —are proof that even when we lose control over our circumstances, we never lose control over our perception. Denise and Sam break down the defining moments when perception makes the difference—between fear and opportunity, between despair and resilience. They uncover how biology wires us for panic, but philosophy teaches us power , and why Marcus Aurelius was right when he said: “Choose not to be harmed, and you won’t feel harmed.” Join us as we explore how to: Stay calm when others panic Reframe obstacles as opportunities Control what we can—and let go of what we can’t Train our minds to see before others do Whether you’re facing professional setbacks, personal challenges, or just the chaos of everyday life, this episode is an invitation to shift your perspective—and in doing so, change everything.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedObstacles don't block your path—they are your path. In our deep dive into Ryan Holiday's "The Obstacle is the Way," we unpack how ancient Stoic wisdom offers practical solutions for modern challenges. The book provides more than inspiration; it delivers a framework for transforming life's inevitable roadblocks into opportunities for growth. We examine the remarkable stories of leaders like John D. Rockefeller, who found unprecedented success during economic depression by maintaining what Holiday calls "unflappable coolness under pressure." Rather than being paralyzed by circumstances, these historical figures developed the mental discipline to see opportunities where others saw only problems. We share personal stories about leaders we've known who embodied this philosophy—from calm management during national crises to everyday resilience in business challenges. The four-step process Holiday outlines becomes our roadmap: objectively assess the problem, adjust your attitude toward it, apply creativity to transform it, and cultivate the inner will to persevere. Our conversation reveals how this approach works at all scales—from small daily frustrations to life-altering challenges. We unpack the powerful parable of the king who placed a boulder in the road, rewarding the one person who took initiative to move it instead of complaining about it. As Benjamin Franklin wisely noted, "The things which hurt instruct." This episode offers both philosophical depth and practical strategies. Whether you're facing professional setbacks, personal struggles, or simply the everyday obstacles of human existence, this timeless wisdom provides a path forward.
