Monte Pedersen joins Jim Kerr on the 50th episode of The Indispensable Conversation podcast. If you're unfamiliar with Monte, he heads up The CDA Group LLC an independent leadership training firm specializing in strategy execution. The focus of his thought leadership centers around how to get results. It's this focus that makes him the perfect guest to tackle this question with me: "Do you have to stay hungry to be outstanding?"

World famous keynote speaker and business coach Rishad Ahmed joins me for next episode of The Indispensable Conversation. Rishad works to ignite transformation through holistic thinking and wisdom-driven leadership. He wants to help you to empower your organization for an inspired future. This all makes him the "right guest, at the right time" to delve into this question with me: Do you need to develop a keen intuition to be an exceptional leader?

Today my guest is the world famous thrill seeker and creative motivator Tyler Schmoker. Tyler is a retired army veteran, mountain climber, cross country skier, and all around good guy. His posts on LinkedIn are distinctive because they typically feature him in some sort of “day in the life” motif. Indeed, death defying cycling vids are inter-meshed with views from the State Fair or his vegetable garden and all come with a message that inspires. In our opinion, this makes Tyler the ideal guest to tackle this question with me: "Is it possible to navigate between staying true to oneself and adapting to societal expectations?"
