I like to think that makes me look pretty smart.

347: Lessons In Leadership from the Greatest Leaders of All Time

by

My guest today, and I, have something in common. We are both broadcasters.

Me a former broadcaster, and he a current one.

brian sanders

His name is Brian Sanders and he is here to remind us that, among other things, we are often our own worst enemy when it comes to what holds us back.

Brian is one of those rare guests who isn’t afraid to share his struggles (both of the personal and the leadership variety). He does so, in part, because he realizes you’ll likely see yourself in some of what he shares.

Maybe this will help bring you closer to examining your own struggles. If nothing else, you’ll be encouraged to know you’re not alone, as leaders often can be if we’re not careful.

Brian’s book is called Leadership Endurance: Strategic Steps from the Greatest Leaders of All Time.

346: Raising Your Kids in a Tech-Driven World with Arlene Pellicane

by

I, for one, am glad that much of today’s technology and, especially, social media, didn’t exist when I was growing up.

Admittedly, I’m not sure my parents nor I would have handled it well.

We all know how hard it is raising kids today in light of these new challenges. That’s why I’m so glad for people like today’s guest, Arlene Pellicane.

She is perfectly positioned to help us make sense of it all – the screens, the apps, the social media, all of it – AND their potential impact on our children’s brains. With Arlene’s book and today’s interview, you can rest a whole lot easier.

That new book, written with Dr. Gary Chapman, is called Screen Kids: 5 Relational Skills Every Child Needs in a Tech-Driven World.
