Every executive has faced a career crisis — a failed project, a brutal round of redundancies, a market collapse. Most leaders bury the pain and rush back to activity. The Post-Traumatic Growth Leader does the opposite.

In this three-part episode, Joe and Trevor explore how to use corporate failure as the most powerful upgrade available to any executive. They break down the four psychological shifts that define a truly transformed leader — Clarity of Purpose, Deeper Relationships, Greater Perspective, and Unshakeable Self-Efficacy — and provide two practical tools: The Crisis Audit and The Legacy Reframe.

This isn't about bouncing back. It's about bouncing forward.

🎯 Topics covered:

• What Post-Traumatic Growth actually is (and how it differs from resilience)
• The four shifts that make a PTG leader objectively more valuable
• How to conduct a Crisis Audit to extract strategy from shame
• The Legacy Reframe journaling technique to own your narrative

Why do successful executives hoard time, talent, and opportunities even when resources are available? In this three-part episode, we expose the Scarcity Trap—the mindset that makes leaders focus on micro-costs while missing macro-opportunities.

Trevor and Joe examine how the Survival Brain creates three devastating hoarding behaviors: Time Hoarding (micromanagement), Talent Hoarding (chronic understaffing), and Opportunity Hoarding (risk aversion that kills growth).

Learn practical solutions: the Cost of Delay Audit to quantify what delays actually cost your business, the Abundance Reframe to shift from guardian to investor mindset, and the Generosity Command to break micromanagement habits.

Topics covered: scarcity mindset, executive decision-making, micromanagement, delegation, strategic investing, growth sabotage, abundance mindset, cognitive bandwidth, business growth strategy.
