Part 2 of 2: Follow Your Values Compass: The Values Test Reveals All | Robert Glazer

"Self-Aware or Self-Deceived? The Values Test That Reveals All" . What if the values you say you lead by are just a story you've rehearsed, and not the truth you actually live? 🎁 Bonus Resource: Take the 6-question values diagnostic from Bob's book: 👉 https://robertglazer.com/six . Official book page: https://robertglazer.com/compass/ . 🧠 In this searing second half of our two-part conversation, Robert Glazer returns to challenge the very foundation most leaders build their reputations on: values. . Bob challenges us to confront a deeply uncomfortable truth: that we may not actually know what your values are. Not because you're dishonest, but because you've never stress-tested them. And neither has your organization. . We break apart the modern performance culture, dissect how compensation can destroy candor, and ask the question no company wants to answer: . Do we reward alignment with our stated values, or just performance metrics that protect the bottom line? This episode pulls no punches. Bob and I get radically honest about: Why stated company website "values" are mostly meaningless (and how to prove it) How to build a Values Dashboard that forces accountability to the things you say matter most The self-delusion test every leader should take, but probably won't. What happens when your team is A+ on paper but hollow in purpose How Bob learned to fire top performers who didn't match the values, and never regretted it . This is about more than leadership. It's about the gap between who you believe you are and how you actually lead. And it's only when that gap gets closed that real performance, loyalty, and integrity can scale. . 🎙 About Bob Glazer: Robert Glazer is the founder of Acceleration Partners, host of the Elevate Podcast, a multiple-time best-selling author, and the voice behind the Friday Forward newsletter—read by over 200,000 people in 100+ countries. .

Part 2: 🎙️ Love, Lust, and the Primal Brain: Why Smart Leaders Sabotage Relationships | Tim Ash

🔥 If you're so smart, so successful, and so in control… why do your relationships keep blowing up? 📘 Episode Description In Part 2 of this belief rattling conversation, Tim Ash, bestselling author of Unleash Your Primal Brain, rips the curtain back on the uncomfortable truth that most elite leaders refuse to face: . Your rational mind is not in control—your primal brain is. Especially when it comes to love, lust, and long-term relationships. . You'll learn why: Most dating behavior is a neural con—driven by ancient evolutionary imperatives, not conscious choice The same brain that makes you a business killer may be the reason you keep wrecking intimacy Oxytocin, trust, and mate selection are part of a primal system that doesn't care about your rational goals Monogamy is a biological outlier, and acknowledging that could save your marriage The deeper reason self-control fails, even for high performers Why the illusion of "free will" in love is both liberating and terrifying . Tim and Dov dive into how modern relationships are wired to fail unless we reprogram our understanding of human nature. This episode isn't relationship advice, it's a long hard look in the mirror. If you're bold enough to confront the primal forces that shape who and how you love… press play. 🎯 Who This Episode Is For: Visionary leaders, founders, and CEOs who have succeeded in business but struggle in love Anyone brave enough to ask, "Is it really them—or is it my wiring?" High performers willing to rethink everything they've been told about dating, marriage, and monogamy 🧠 Episode Aways: The biological truth behind trust and betrayal Why intelligent people make unintelligent romantic choices A neuroscience-backed lens for decoding your own relationship patterns How to stop blaming your partner and start understanding your brain 🎙 Guest Bio: Tim Ash International keynote speaker, digital marketing pioneer, and author of Unleash Your Primal Brain Expert in evolutionary psychology, behavioral science, and persuasion Helps leaders decode how ancient biology drives modern dysfunction 🎧 Listen now and confront the side of yourself your intellect has been trying to hide.

Part 1: Primal Dating: The Truth About Evolution, Power, and Why Leaders Fail at Love |Tim Ash

🎙️ Primal Dating: The Truth About Evolution, Power, and Why Leaders Fail at Love |Tim Ash 🔥 If elite leaders can close billion-dollar deals before lunch, why are so many failing at the most primal negotiation of all, lasting love? 🧠 Episode Summary Modern dating isn't broken because people are lazy; it's broken because our primal operating system is colliding with an unnatural environment. In this unsparing conversation, evolutionary psychology expert Tim Ash dismantles the myths about gender, power, and purpose. . We confront population collapse, the "sexual marketplace," shadow purpose, and why denying biological asymmetry is wrecking not just relationships, but also leadership and culture! 🧨 What You'll Learn Why evolutionary psychology is the hidden operating system of every decision you make. How denying male/female asymmetries fuels gender wars and broken partnerships. The "sexual marketplace" explained: why most men are invisible and the top 10% dominate. Why population collapse and inverted age pyramids threaten every economic model. How Tim uses positive and shadow purposes to make life-and-leadership decisions. Why testosterone decline, risk aversion, and cultural overlays cripple modern men. The direct parallel between dating dynamics and executive leadership cultures. 🧬 The Big Questions We Tackle Is civilization sleepwalking into collapse by ignoring biology? Can culture override evolutionary asymmetry, or does denial always backfire? What's your shadow purpose—and how is it steering your leadership? If most men are invisible, what does that say about competence, risk, and responsibility? Why do middle-aged leaders often fail at relationships just as their careers peak? Why It Matters for Leaders Your primal wiring doesn't clock out when you walk into the boardroom. Risk, status, provisioning, and belonging drive decisions from mergers to marriages. Understanding this is not optional; it's a matter of survival. Ignore it, and you'll continue to lose trust, culture, and loyalty. 🎙 Guest Bio: Tim Ash Tim Ash is the author of Unleash Your Primal Brain and Primal Dating. He is a leading authority on evolutionary psychology, digital behavior, and neuro-marketing. He's helped brands like Google, Expedia, and Nestlé understand how the brain really works, and now he's turning that lens onto the most crucial domain of all: leadership.

Legend! Part 2 of 2: The Unfathomable Hope and Drive to Cure Cancer Dr Azra Raza

Few adults on the planet have not been touched, either directly or indirectly, by cancer. It's one of the things many people see as an inevitable part of life that they hope and pray does not visit directly onto their own life. But what about the oncologists who work with cancer patients every day? Dr. Azra Raza is a cancer specialist who has dedicated her life to pioneering the understanding of cancer and, most importantly, its earliest detection. Despite the weight of her work, Dr. Raza has never lost sight of her clear intention: to cure cancer. She immigrated to the U.S. from Karachi, Pakistan, and has since been featured in high-profile outlets like The New York Times, The Guardian, The Times, The Smithsonian, and more. She was even invited to the dining room of President Joe Biden's home at the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., with a handful of other cancer specialists to offer their perspectives on the current cancer landscape, which contributed to shaping what is now known as the "Cancer Moonshot." Dr. Raza's latest bestselling book, "THE FIRST CELL," is a searing account of how medicine and our society (mis)treat cancer, how we can do better, and why we must. Her life is devoted to early detection and prevention of cancer. Imagine the grief of being an oncologist, working with people 70% of whom you will walk to their death. Dr. Raza has not only watched people die but has also discovered that the love of her life, another oncologist, was diagnosed with untreatable cancer, and she had to walk them through to the end. This would make most of us want to crawl into a hole and never return, but not Dr. Raza. She is a true inspiration to us all and a reminder that one person can make a difference in the fight against cancer.

Part 2 🎙️ "Why Gen-Z Doesn't Want to Work for You (Unless You Fix This)" | Tim Elmore

Part 2 🎙️ "Why Gen Z Doesn't Want to Work for You (Unless You Fix This)" | Tim Elmore Are today's young professionals really entitled, lazy, and fragile, or are they calling bullsh**t on leadership that refuses to evolve? 💥 Episode Summary: In Part 2 of this explosive two-part series, Dr. Tim Elmore and Dov Baron rip the lid off one of the most urgent and misunderstood leadership dilemmas of our time: how to lead—and learn from—Generation Z. Forget the tired tropes. Gen Z isn't disengaged because they lack grit. They're disengaged because they see through inauthentic leadership, misaligned values, and outdated management structures. In this episode, Elmore and Dov Baron break down why legacy leadership models are breaking down, how Gen Z is redefining work and influence, and what today's leaders must do to stay relevant in a world where authority is earned—not inherited. You'll discover how emotional intelligence, psychological safety, and trust-building have become non-negotiables for a generation that won't settle for performative values or empty mission statements. If you've ever asked, "Why can't we just get them to work harder?" This conversation is a mirror you can't afford to look away from. 🔥 In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why the leadership playbook that built your success will fail you with Gen Z. The hidden reason Gen Z sees your workplace as a threat, not an opportunity. How "drip irrigation", not fire hosing, builds real buy-in with young talent. The neuroscience of how Gen Z processes trust and influence (and why your authority triggers resistance). Why control and shame-based tactics kill motivation in this new era. How servant leadership and co-creation are no longer "nice to haves," they're survival skills. 🧠 About our Guest: Dr. Tim Elmore is the best-selling author of "A New Kind of Diversity" and founder of Growing Leaders, an organization that helps elite leadership teams develop emotionally intelligent and culturally relevant practices. His decades of research and fieldwork make him one of the world's foremost authorities on generational leadership and the evolving psychology of influence. 📌 💬 Join the Conversation: Do you believe Gen Z is entitled, or are they exposing a more profound leadership crisis? What's the toughest truth your organization needs to face about how it treats young talent?

🎙️ "Why Gen-Z Is NOT Broken, But Our Leadership Might Be" | Tim Elmore

🎙️ "Why Gen Z Is NOT Broken, But Our Leadership Might Be" | Tim Elmore . Are you leading the future—or losing it? . In this explosive episode of The Dov Baron Show, we pull the curtain back on one of the most misunderstood generations in history and the leaders who are failing to connect with them. . Dr. Tim Elmore, best-selling author of A New Kind of Diversity, and his new book: "The Future Begins with Z: Nine Strategies to Lead Generation Z as They Disrupt the Workplace." He's the founder of Growing Leaders. Today, he joins Dov to confront the uncomfortable truth: most leaders are leading Gen Z using tools built for a world that no longer exists. . If you've ever said: "Why don't they want to work like we did?" "Why are they so anxious, so soft, so… entitled?" "How do I inspire loyalty without lowering standards?" . Then buckle up. Because what you're about to hear will challenge your assumptions, expose hidden generational biases, and equip you with the mindset and skills to lead, not lose this rising generation. 🔍 In This Conversation: The Real Story Behind Gen Z's Anxiety: It's not weakness. It's unprocessed complexity. Why Older Generations Miss the Mark: Nostalgia isn't a strategy, and tough love isn't enough. Is Technology the Villain? The truth about growing up in the digital pressure cooker. What Leadership Used to Be vs. What It Must Become: The shift from command-and-control to empathy-with-integrity. "Over-functioning Leaders Create Under-functioning Teams": The leadership sabotage you don't even know you're doing. Emotional Literacy as a Performance Advantage: Why this generation will outperform everyone—if we stop dismissing them. 💡 Why It Matters: Gen Z isn't confused about who they are. They're confused about why their leaders refuse to see them. This isn't a generational gap. It's a values chasm. And if you don't bridge it, you'll lose the very people who hold the keys to your organization's future. 👤 About our guest: Tim Elmore: Dr. Tim Elmore is one of the world's leading voices on next-generation leadership. He's mentored everyone from NCAA coaches to Fortune 100 execs, and his groundbreaking work at Growing Leaders has shaped millions of young minds. . His books include A New Kind of Diversity, which unpacks how to unify five generations in today's workforce, without watering down your leadership, and "The Future Begins with Z: Nine Strategies to Lead Generation Z as They Disrupt the Workplace." 🎯 Who This Episode Is For: CEOs and founders seeking to future-proof their leadership Talent execs grappling with retention and loyalty among younger staff Parents, mentors, and coaches who care about legacy, not just leverage Any leader tired of lazy generational stereotypes and ready for nuance 🎧 Listen Now Subscribe and share this episode if you're ready to lead the future, not fight it. 📌 Your next best hire, boldest innovator, or most loyal team member might be Gen Z, if you're wise enough to earn their trust. 👇 Tap follow + hit the bell to never miss an episode. #GenZLeadership #TimElmore #TheDovBaronShow #FutureOfLeadership #EmotionalIntelligence #SelfLeadership #WorkplaceWellbeing #GenerationalGap #AnxiousGeneration #PurposeDrivenLeadership #MentalHealthInLeadership
