Rest Is a Leadership Strategy

Rest Is a Leadership Strategy
We don’t talk enough about rest as a tool for vision, clarity, and longevity. Too often, rest is treated as a luxury or a reward for burnout. But I teach leaders to see it as a competitive advantage. When you rest with intention, you don’t just recharge, you make space for creativity, stronger decision-making, and deeper connections. The most effective leaders aren’t the ones who work the hardest. They’re the ones who understand that strategic rest is part of the plan, not a sign of weakness. About Guest: Dr. Erin Wilson Dr. Erin Wilson is on a mission to transform the way leaders and teams thrive—by integrating relationship intelligence, strategic rest, and intentional leadership. As the CEO of Design Ideal Consulting, she has spent over a decade designing transformative team-building experiences for organizations worldwide.

Everybody Leads: Growing Your Influence and Impact Regardless of Title or Position

Everybody Leads: Growing Your Influence and Impact Regardless of Title or Position
As a self-professed “leadership junkie,” Tim’s journey to understanding what it meant to step up as a leader began thirty years earlier as a young lawyer after he disappointed a boss with an epic failure on a project. The boss challenged Tim (after significant yelling and tough love) by saying that he saw in Tim a strong leader who needed to step up and own his projects, is career, and ambitions. In the three decades since, Tim has studied, read, and grown his leadership skills through hard work, trying novel ideas, failing, learning from the failures, and getting better every day. Along the way, he has seen stories all around him of individuals leading regardless of title, position, background, or circumstances. No matter an individual’s background, race, gender, or ethnic heritage; no matter their education, degree, skill, or talent; no matter if they have made significant life mistakes in their past; no matter if they lead a company of thousands, a group of volunteers at a church, synagogue, or non-profit, are a stay-at-home parent, or a mailroom clerk, leadership is something everyone does every day. It is also something that we can each get better at with effort and focus. About Guest: Tim Lupinacci Tim Lupinacci is the CEO and Chair of Baker Donelson, one of the 100 largest law firms in the United States, Tim has faced significant leadership challenges, including turning a $500 million organization from declining profits to record growth, navigating a global pandemic, leading transformative change in a 100+-year-old organization, and maintaining engagement and community in an increasingly remote workforce. As a self-professed “leadership junkie,” Tim’s journey to understanding what it meant to step up as a leader began thirty years earlier as a young lawyer after he disappointed a boss with an epic failure on a project. He has a B.A. in Mass Communication from the University of Montevallo and a J.D. from Vanderbilt University School of Law. Tim has been married to his wife Ellen for thirty-five years and they have a twenty-five-year-old daughter who was married in February 2024. In early 2023, Tim began a non-profit called Everybody Leads, which is focused on bringing basic leadership training to underserved communities ().

From Startup to Industry Leader
In this episode, we explore the journey of a groundbreaking startup that transformed the landscape of digital advertising by tackling one of its biggest challenges—ad fraud. Discover how innovative technology, data-driven strategies, and an unwavering commitment to transparency helped them rise from an emerging player to an industry leader. Join us as we dive into: ✅ The hidden impact of ad fraud on brands and advertisers ✅ Cutting-edge advancements in fraud detection and prevention ✅ Key lessons from scaling a startup in the fast-evolving digital ecosystem ✅ What the future holds for ad fraud detection and ethical advertising Whether you're a marketer, entrepreneur, or tech enthusiast, this episode offers valuable insights into the power of innovation in shaping a more secure and trustworthy digital advertising space. Tune in. About the Guest: Rich Kahn is Chief Executive Officer of Anura and an authority in digital ad fraud prevention with thirty-one years of experience in digital marketing. In the past 30 years, he created five multimillion-dollar internet companies, all self-funded, with one even achieving a spot on the Inc. 5000 list for five consecutive years. (he was even featured on CNN for his insights!) Rich's venture into ad fraud prevention started with a personal encounter with its harmful effects. As co-founder of eZanga, a marketing company, he observed how fraudulent clicks and bots would deplete ad budgets and skew campaign data. Inspired by this personal experience, Rich launched Anura, a standalone ad fraud detection platform that uses live monitoring and AI. Anura not only identifies fraud - it prevents it in its tracks before it can affect advertising results. In the past year, it exposed 1.2 Billion Dollars in fraudulent activity for its users. (a significant amount if you ask me!) As ad fraud remains a significant drain on ad spend in marketing, it's increasingly crucial for advertisers to be alert to the threat and implement preventive steps to secure their ad budget. w: e: About Christopher Salem Christopher Salem, the dynamic host of the Sustainable Success Show, has been empowering business leaders, entrepreneurs, and organizations for nearly 8 years.

After many years of amazing adventures, she settled in Panama, where she co-founded the Panama Hospice and Respite Foundation. Returning to Canada at age 80, and despite several health challenges, including blindness in one eye and breast cancer, Joyce published her book Ants in My Pants: One Woman’s Unexpected Adventures Across Seven Continents.
