I want to tackle an urgent question: What comes after the election? It's not a time to rest, to lean back, or to let others take the wheel. The real work begins now.

I share my thoughts on why value creation behaviors must be relentless—why we cannot afford to stop building, improving, and demanding accountability. Too often, those who rig the game to take value out of the world never rest. Why should we?

Governments should exist to improve the conditions for us to live, work, learn, and play—at a lowering cost. Yet, time after time, we see the opposite. We settle for mediocrity and let distractions like tribalism and name-calling steer us away from what matters: better outcomes for all of us.

This episode is about responsibility, accountability, and shining a light on what's broken. It’s about rejecting the status quo and fighting for progress—not by waiting for leaders to deliver miracles but by holding them to a higher standard.

I’ll walk you through the mindset that’s helped me in business and in life: holistic value creation. From material and emotional value to the critical importance of connectedness, these principles apply not just to entrepreneurship but to our roles as citizens, family members, and community builders.

We’ll talk about uncertainty—why it’s inevitable and why embracing it, rather than fearing it, can propel you forward. From voting to starting a business, from leading a family to shaping a nation, the principles remain the same: always move forward, always create value, and never settle for less.

Whether you’re one person casting a vote or a leader guiding a team, this episode challenges you to step up, stay vigilant, and stay committed to creating net-positive outcomes. One person can make a difference. Let’s talk about how.

Why do so many CEOs fail, even when their teams are hitting all the right goals? In this short episode, I want to break down the biggest reason businesses falter. It’s not enough for everyone to just do their job well—what’s critical is ensuring that every leader understands how the business is designed to create value.

I’ve worked with countless CEOs, and time and time again, I see the same problem. In this video, I explain how the most successful businesses align their leadership around four core areas:

- Business Model
- Strategy
- The Value of Products and Services (as perceived by the customer)
- Culture

These pillars form the foundation of sustainable growth, and I’ll share actionable strategies to coach and “nudge” your leadership team into alignment.

Today I want to dive into the questions and concerns that are top of mind this election season, including the big one: Are we on the brink of a revolution? After talking to countless business leaders and citizens, I believe the answer is no. While history shows that civilizations can reach tipping points, I’m convinced we’re not there yet. Instead, if we focus on creating net-positive value and hold our government accountable, we can move toward sustainable progress without reaching any dangerous edge.

Through this lens of value creation, I explore the role of each of us in shaping our future. We can’t afford to sit back and expect government leaders to handle everything. It’s our job, every single day, to hold them accountable and demand that they focus on improving conditions for all of us, especially low and middle-income families. Too often, we see them fall short, but that’s where our voices and actions come in. And it goes beyond government—it's also about the role each of us plays in creating value, personally and professionally.

I challenge you to reflect on what’s truly important, and to make sure distractions don’t pull us away from that. I’ll discuss why I believe mainstream media thrives on division and why it’s vital to establish our own filters and perspectives. My hope is that, no matter what happens in the election, we keep pushing forward with the mindset of creating more value and holding the line on what’s right for our communities.
