E42: Alpha Actions - Personalized Health
It's one thing to talk about general health guidelines -- but it's another thing to *personalize* your health as an individual. Every day, we hear about new health fads: new diets, new devices, new medications or supplements...But how do we know which ones to choose for ourselves?
Play the Long Game with Scott Wozniak-Ep. 63: Why We Make Bad Decisions
In this episode, I put my old friend on the spot and asked him to talk about his bad decisions--and why we make them. As an executive coach, he has a lot of experience identifying when a decision is likely to be bad and helping people choose better options. For the record, this conversation didn't go where I expected!

[Season 2] Ep. 12: Becoming the CEO of Your Own Health
Your personal health and well-being is the backbone of everything you do as an alpha. You can't run at the speed you need to or perform your best -- unless you prioritize your own personal well-being.
In today's episode, the Pack discusses what it looks like to be the "CEO of your own health."
[Season 2] Ep. 11: Audacity & Humility
Join the Pack as they discuss what humility means--and doesn't mean--and what humility can practically look like in your day-to-day life. It's not about thinking poorly of yourself and your abilities; instead, it's about recognizing how your abilities can best serve other people at the present moment.
[Season 2] Ep. 10: Saying No for the Right Reasons
In today's episode, join The Pack as they discuss how they approach saying "no" in their personal lives, as well as how saying "no" is very dependent upon how far along in your alpha journey you are.
We hope this episode inspires you to know when it is actually more audacious to say "no" than "yes."
[Season 2] Ep. 9: Micro vs. Macro Audacity
Some alphas become so laser-focused on one audacious perspective that they fail to see other areas they could excel in. (And more often than not, we think the only way to be alpha is to be in the spotlight.)
We hope this episode inspires you to think in a macro-perspective about how you can become an alpha in ways other alphas aren’t even considering.
Deconstructing Culture
Every good executive knows the importance of a healthy corporate culture, but few have spent much time defining culture.
Your CULTURE is the CHARACTER of your organization.
Your CHARACTER is your IDENTITY plus your HABITS.
Your IDENTITY is the story you tell yourself about yourself.
Your HABITS are what you do consistently.
[Season 2] Ep. 8: Developing Audacity
Just because you weren’t born audacious doesn’t mean you can’t become audacious.
In today’s episode, the Pack share personal stories and experiences about how audacity was formed in them, as well as how they are cultivating audacity in their children. Just as importantly, the Pack discuss how it’s never too late to become audacious, no matter whether or not your parents taught you to be audacious.
[Season 2] Ep. 7:Audacity Continued
Picking up on last week's discussion, the Pack tries to answer a very important question: Can you be both humble and audacious? Or are these two characteristics at odds with each other?
Hear from Daniel, Scott, Jonathan, and Jay as they offer their unique (and sometimes differing!) opinions on the nuances of this paradox.
Improving the Journey
“Every system is perfectly designed to produce the results it gets.”
- W. Edwards Deming
If you don’t like the results you are seeing, you have to change the system that is producing those results.
[Season 2] Ep. 6:Audacity
A certain sense of audacity is needed in order to achieve your vision and goals as an alpha. However, what does that audacity tangibly look like day-to-day for an alpha?
We hope this episode inspires you to think audaciously and be a difference-maker in your world.
