In this episode, I share a few powerful leadership lessons inspired by my recent trip to India. What began as a family adventure turned into an unexpected reflection on culture, adaptation, and legacy. 

From the overwhelming chaos of the streets to the quiet brilliance of the Taj Mahal, I found myself thinking deeply about what it means to lead, to adapt, and to leave something meaningful behind. 

This is a conversation about how quickly we adjust to new environments, the power of preserving craftsmanship, and why true leadership is measured not just by impact in the moment, but by the legacy that lasts long after we’re gone.

Here are the highlights:
