Thriving Through Adversity: The Power of Resilience in Business.
In this episode, we'll explore why resilience is a critical skill for leaders and entrepreneurs alike, and how it can help you not only survive but thrive in any situation. We'll start by discussing the importance of resilience in good times. When business is booming, it's easy to become complacent and rest on our laurels. However, resilient leaders know that success can be fleeting, and they are always prepared for the unexpected. We'll delve into how developing resilience can help you stay focused, motivated, and agile in times of prosperity, allowing you to make the most of opportunities and sustain success over the long term.
Next, we'll tackle the tough times. Every business faces challenges, be it financial setbacks, market disruptions, or internal issues. Resilience is what sets apart those who crumble under pressure from those who rise above. We'll discuss strategies to bounce back from failures, setbacks, and crises, and how resilience can help you stay calm, composed, and solution-oriented in the face of adversity. We'll also explore how resilient leaders inspire and motivate their teams during tough times, fostering a culture of resilience that can propel the entire organization forward.
Finally, we'll address the uncertain times. In today's rapidly changing business landscape, uncertainty is inevitable. Resilient leaders understand that change is the only constant and embrace it as an opportunity for growth. We'll delve into how developing resilience can help you adapt to change, think critically, and make tough decisions in the face of ambiguity. We'll also discuss how resilient leaders instill confidence and stability in their teams during times of uncertainty, enabling them to navigate challenges with resilience and determination.
So, if you're a leader or an entrepreneur looking to strengthen your ability to thrive in good times, bad times, and uncertain times, then this episode is a must-listen. Join us as we uncover the key principles and practices of resilience and learn how it can become your secret weapon for success in the dynamic world of business. Don't just survive, thrive with resilience!

In this episode of the Naked Leadership podcast, we dive into the critical topic of developing leaders within your organization to achieve sustainable growth. Chad, Dan, and Adrian unpack why learning how to scale leadership is crucial for the success of your business.
They start by addressing the common misconception that leadership is only for those at the top. They discuss how some team members may not aspire to be leaders or may lack the confidence to step into leadership roles, while others may need proper training and mentorship to develop their leadership potential.
With real-world examples and anecdotes, Chad, Dan, and Adrian explain why organizations must identify and nurture leadership talent within their teams. They emphasize that relying solely on a few leaders at the top can limit growth and innovation, and put undue pressure on those in leadership positions. Creating a pipeline of leaders throughout the organization not only distributes the workload but also fosters a culture of empowerment, ownership, and accountability.
Without developing new leaders, businesses may face challenges such as high turnover, lack of succession planning, and inability to adapt to changing market dynamics. Leaders may become overwhelmed, and the organization's growth prospects may be compromised.
But fear not! You are about to discover insights for developing leaders in your organization that drive growth and success.
If you're a founder, business owner, entrepreneur, or executive looking to unlock the full potential of your team and scale leadership in your organization, this episode is a must-listen. Join in on the convo as they share experiences and insights on why developing leaders is not only important but essential for the long-term success of your business.

You Need A Board Sooner Than You Think // A-Players Only Episode 3
The CEO role is the loneliest position in any company. And outside of your spouse or close friends, frankly, there aren’t many places for a chief executive to turn for reliable guidance and advice - except their board of directors. A properly constructed board can provide an invaluable support mechanism that helps CEOs navigate even the toughest decisions facing their companies.
In this episode of A Players Only Podcast, your host Chad Brown is joined by Mark Edwards. He learned a lot from interfacing very regularly with public board members, both internally through acquisitions and raising a venture fund, and actually ended up going on more than 35 boards over the last three decades.
Mark and Chad will talk about the importance of board composition, and how it should complement the interests of all members. Mark also gives an example of a company that uses this approach to support its leadership team while conserving cash.
Key points of this convo:
-What is the purpose of a board?
-When do you start considering a board for your organization?
-Why do Founders fear the Board?
-The benefits of a board
-Negotiation with board members
-Who do you invite to be on your board & how do you make that decision?
-How to foster commitment and connection to your vision & your core values to your board?
-Advice to Founders
