Be Worth* Following

On this episode of the Be Worth* Following podcast, we are joined by entrepreneur and RSLNT founder Paul Wiley. He shares with us how literal mountaintops can make us better at handling the challenges of leadership. You'll learn what Paul means when he talks about "meaningful collisions." And you'll get a chance to adopt an entirely new definition of what it means to "go for a walk." Join us as Paul takes us to the ends of the earth and back again—both figuratively and literally—to experience leadership lessons that can serve us for a lifetime.

In this special episode marking the 250th birthday of the United States, we sit down with David Zanotti, CEO of the American Policy Roundtable and creator of The Public Square, one of the longest-running daily audio programs in America. This is a wide-ranging conversation that moves from the perils of founding a country in 1776 to the challenges of leading in the age of AI in 2026. It turns out that some of the very same mindsets that fueled America's Founding Fathers are still what's needed to effectively lead organizations and families today.

What if the hardest parts of leadership aren't holding you back? What if they're actually preparing you for what's next? In this episode of the Be Worth* Following podcast, we sit down with leadership expert and author Adam Tarnow to unpack the core ideas in his new book, The Fog of Work. We explore why middle management leadership can feel like living in a foggy valley between competing pressures, unrealistic expectations, and constant uncertainty. From there, we dig into how to create a path forward that is both productive and developmental. While middle management leadership is the context of this discussion, Adam's concepts have remarkably practical application for leaders at every level and in every context. Join us!  

Today on the Be Worth* Following podcast, we are joined by Sara Turner. She's an executive coach, facilitator, and consultant whose work centers on the inner life of leaders and how it shapes everyday successes and failures. She is both a leader and a person of depth, something we've experienced firsthand, because for over four years, she worked with The Aperio, most recently serving as our Director of Content and Experience. In this episode, you'll hear about the often underutilized—and uniquely powerful—ability leaders have to draw others toward their natural capabilities and maximum potential. You'll learn about a specific group of leaders Turner is especially passionate about inspiring. And you'll discover the single word Turner believes is foundational for sustaining effort over time. Join us for this episode of the Be Worth* Following podcast with our friend and former colleague, Sara Turner. 

It's March on the Be Worth* Following podcast and that means one thing: leadership lessons from the world of college basketball. In this episode, we visit with former Division I head coach and current Big Ten Network analyst Bruce Weber. With more than four decades in coaching, nearly 500 wins as a Division I head coach, and a run to the 2005 National Championship game, Coach Weber shares his insights on the essentials of effective leadership. And don't worry if you're not a hoops fan because the wisdom Coach Weber shares applies just as much to boardrooms and living rooms as it does locker rooms. With practical examples and firsthand stories about greats such as Gene Keady, Phil Jackson, and Michael Jordan, you won't want to miss this episode.
