In this episode of Coffee and Tea with CarrieVee, we welcome leadership expert Currie Gauvreau to discuss what it truly means to lead with intention. Currie, the Executive Vice President of The Honest Water Filter Company and an award-winning author and trainer, shares insights from his extensive experience in leadership development, training, and law enforcement. He explains the fundamental difference between leadership and management, emphasizing that while managers focus on maintaining systems and processes, true leaders inspire and develop their teams. Leadership is not about simply giving orders or ensuring tasks are completed but about fostering growth, empowering others, and creating an environment where people can thrive.

Throughout the conversation, Currie highlights why motivation alone is not enough and how inspiration plays a crucial role in effective leadership. He discusses how business owners who fail to lead intentionally often see stagnation, regardless of how great their product or service is. Leadership is about building trust, being vulnerable, and guiding teams toward shared goals with clarity and purpose. He also shares practical steps for developing leaders within an organization, stressing the importance of training others to step into leadership roles rather than hoarding control. Whether you are a business owner, a manager, or someone looking to grow into a leadership role, this episode offers valuable insights into how to lead with authenticity and impact.

In this thought-provoking episode of Coffee and Tea with CarrieVee, Carrie dives deep into the concept of time, questioning the common belief that we simply need more time to feel fulfilled and productive. Spoiler alert: the answer is no—we don’t need more time. What we truly need is a mindset shift about how we use the time we already have.

Carrie shares her personal reflections on the "tyranny of the urgent"—the tendency to prioritize tasks that feel pressing but aren’t necessarily meaningful in the long run. Drawing from her own experiences of juggling responsibilities, she encourages listeners to evaluate whether their daily choices will matter five years from now. Carrie emphasizes that it's not about adding more hours to the day; it's about making intentional decisions with the time we’re given. She also introduces her new mastermind, "It’s About Time," designed to help participants reclaim their schedules and focus on what truly matters.
