About this listen

 What’s the best way to navigate rapid tech change and entrepreneurship while still leading with clarity and endurance? Nathan Whittacre, CEO of Stimulus Technologies and author of The CEO’s Digital Survival Guide, joins Greg to discuss leading a company through crisis, leveraging endurance in leadership, and embracing long-term personal goals. With 30 years of business experience and a mission to run marathons in all 50 states (under 4 hours!), Nathan blends strategic thinking with discipline, adaptability, and resilience. He shares how journaling and solo CEO reflection sessions keep him centered, how to build team alignment through brainstorming and decisive action, and how AI will shape the next decade of business and endurance sport.Key Takeaways:Make time for solo CEO reflection. Set a recurring monthly meeting with yourself to journal, review goals, and think strategically. It's your most valuable time as a leader.Don’t delay tough decisions. Waiting too long can do more damage than acting early. Trust your instincts and take decisive action when change is needed.Use your team to problem solve, then move. Bring open-ended challenges to your leadership team, brainstorm together, and quickly turn ideas into action steps.Align your goals with your values. Choose long-term goals that excite you and reflect what matters most. Motivation is easier when the mission is personally meaningful.Leverage tech as a growth enabler. Don’t let outdated tools slow you down. As your business grows, invest in scalable technology that supports efficiency and security.Prepare for an AI-powered future. Expect automation to accelerate and personalization to deepen. Now is the time to explore how AI can serve your business and team.Stay in learning mode. Whether it’s endurance sports, public speaking, or new tech trends, keep expanding your perspective. Growth fuels endurance.Quote of the Show:"I don't think we should just be enduring our experiences. We should find positive outcomes, hopefully joy, in the endurance." - Nathan WhittacreLinks:Nathan’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathanwhittacre/ Company Website: http://www.stimulustech.com Ways to Tune In:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/580aLDKac1ld031W4nWDtp Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chief-endurance-officer/id1680214218?uo=4Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy50cmFuc2lzdG9yLmZtL2NoaWVmLWVuZHVyYW5jZS1vZmZpY2Vy Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/3c96880f-8dcd-4a6e-b1c8-fda816f872a9 Podcast Addict: https://podcastaddict.com/podcast/4340732 Deezer: https://www.deezer.com/show/5897357 Player FM: https://player.fm/series/series-3462719 Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/chief-endurance-officer-5250102 Listen Notes: https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/chief-endurance-officer-ringmaster-KMdv2I8XwkN/ Keep up to date on our social accounts:Check out our Website: http://enduranceofficer.com/ Community Discount Link: https://ceopodcast.myezrewards.com/signup/chief-endurance-officer-podcast Join my Endurance Leadership Community: https://endurance-leadership-community.mn.co/share/_C3ZDRz7OX2vbCme?utm_source=manual Chief Endurance Officer is produced by Ringmaster, on a mission to create connections through B2B podcasts.
