The Remarkable Leadership Podcast
Are your desires helping you move forward—or quietly getting in your way? In this episode of Remarkable TV, I share a simple but powerful leadership lesson inspired by intermittent fasting. While the example starts with food, the real message is about how momentary desires—often driven by habits and situations—can pull us off our long-term path. Desire is powerful. It can motivate us. But if we don’t keep it in perspective, it can also distract us from the future we truly want. My name is Kevin Eikenberry and I’m here to help you reach your goal as a leader and a human being with...

I’ve said it for a long time: leadership is leverage. In this episode of Remarkable TV and the Remarkable Leadership Podcast, I explain why leadership is the key lever for creating greater focus, better collaboration, clearer communication, and stronger results in any organization. Big goals are rarely achieved alone. But simply putting people together doesn’t guarantee success either. Leadership is what aligns effort, directs focus, and turns potential into performance. If you want better outcomes in your organization, the fastest and most effective place to invest is in your leaders. If...

info_outlineWhat if the key to more effective leadership lies not in a new strategy, but in understanding your own biology? In this episode, Kevin speaks with Dr. Scott Hutcheson about an unconventional approach to leadership: biohacking. Dr. Hutcheson shares his behavioral leadership model, built around three biodynamic channels: warmth, competence, and gravitas. He identifies specific, observable behaviors within each channel that send powerful signals to teams, signals that either inspire connection and confidence or lead to disengagement. They also discuss how everyday actions like being punctual, actively listening, and managing workload effectively are more than simple good habits. These behaviors function as leadership signals that directly shape how teams perceive their leaders and, ultimately, how they perform.
Scott's Story: Dr Scott Hutcheson, PhD, is the is the coauthor of Strategic Doing: Ten Skills for Agile Leadership and his new book, Biohacking Leadership: Leveraging the Biology of Behavior to Maximize Your Impact – the first in a three-book series on the biodynamics of leadership, teams, and organizations. He is a biosocial scientist and senior lecturer at Purdue University, where he studies leadership, teamwork, and organizational performance through the biology of behavior. After a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis, he turned to biohacking—using data and feedback loops to optimize health—and soon recognized that the same principles could transform leadership. With over 30 years of experience, Scott has advised the White House, Fortune 400 companies, startups, nonprofits, and communities worldwide. He has worked with more than 4,000 leaders across 147 countries. His TED Talk on the “Science of Prospection” has been viewed over 1.3 million times, and his Forbes column reaches millions of readers, ranking in the top 0.1% of contributors.
