  • The Friction Problem Nobody's Talking About
    2026/05/19

    From food delivery to dating, much of modern life is designed to help us eliminate friction.

    But today’s guest suggests that we may have eliminated too much friction.

    Ross Blankenship is an organizational psychologist, executive coach, and author who works with CEOs and senior leadership teams on the human side of leadership. In his forthcoming book, Friction: Uncover the Power of Leading Through Tension, Ross and his co-author, Maggie Sass, explore how leaders can lead through friction for better decisions, stronger relationships, and healthier performance.

    In this conversation, Daniel, Peter, and Ross discuss why the right amount of friction is key to learning and leading for long-term success.

    Ross points to studies that show when learning is more difficult, retention is higher. “If you take too much of the friction out of my thinking… then I’m not really thinking about it anymore,” he says.

    Tune in to learn:

    • The different types of friction that affect how people work and lead
    • Why a little bit of friction is actually good
    • How “sticking points” can help improve thinking

    Like most beneficial practices, leveraging and navigating friction starts with habits. Find “the very simplest, smallest version of a task,” says Ross, and reflect or put energy into thinking about that friction. “That’s the kind of habit that can start to change your identity over time.”

  • Don't Let Your Organization Fall Behind on AI
    2026/05/05

    By the time you read this sentence, the AI landscape has already changed, says Bala Muthiah, Director of Engineering for Lyft.

    “It’s like A Tale of Two Cities,” he says, citing the tension between champions and skeptics. “There are dreamers, and we need them. And there is a realism when code goes to production.”

    In this conversation with Daniel and Peter, Bala shares his insights about how to balance aspirations around the great potential of AI with a healthy dose of realism about its capabilities and use cases.

    Tune in to learn:

    • A framework to help apply AI with a “human first” approach
    • What you should NOT do to promote AI literacy
    • Why leaders should let go of AI FOMO

    Ultimately, Bala encourages leaders to be curious. “As a leader, the number one job is to help your team be their best,” he says. Being curious “is always going to be the winning formula.”

  • Strategic Resilience in the Age of AI
    2026/04/21

    Resilience isn't a personality trait, says today's guest, Dr. Marie-Hélène Pelletier. "It is a state” that runs from high to low on a continuum.

    Dr. Pelletier, also known as MH, is a leadership psychologist, executive coach, and senior leader with over twenty years of experience across the corporate, insurance, and governance sectors. Her award-winning book, The Resilience Plan, was named a “Top Five Book to Read” by both Inc. Magazine and Forbes.

    In this episode, MH joins Daniel and Peter to examine what resilience means for today's leaders and how to apply strategic thinking to today’s challenges.

    Tune in to learn:

    • Why resilience exists on a continuum
    • The three pillars for building resilience in the age of AI
    • How leaders can support team resilience

    The answer to facing the relentless pace of the AI-world isn’t heroic endurance, says MH. Rather, it's a calmer brain. With strategic thinking, leaders can strengthen resilience for both themselves and their teams.
