  • Living a Zero Regret Life – Saahil Mehta on The Leader’s Mindset Podcast

    Living a Zero Regret Life – Saahil Mehta on The Leader’s Mindset Podcast
    Feb 19 2026
    What if the version of “success” you’re chasing is actually costing you your health, your relationships, and your sense of purpose?In this powerful episode of The Leader’s Mindset, host Jason LeDuc sits down with Saahil Mehta—entrepreneur, executive coach, speaker, and author of Break Free—for a deeply honest conversation about leadership, burnout, people-pleasing, and what it really means to live a zero-regret life.Saahil shares how, by every external measure, he had “made it”: financial success, global travel, a luxury lifestyle, and growing businesses. But beneath the surface, unchecked stress, chronic inflammation, and a constant need to please others nearly cost him his life—culminating in a near-fatal car accident caused by extreme fatigue.This conversation goes far beyond motivation. It’s a masterclass for corporate executives, people managers, HR leaders, and founders who are navigating high performance without burning out.In this episode, you’ll learn:• Why inherited definitions of success quietly sabotage leaders• How people-pleasing erodes health, clarity, and decision-making• The difference between an employee mindset and a true ownership mindset• How delegation and empowerment unlock organizational growth• Why miscommunication is one of the most dangerous leadership risks• How Saahil’s mountaineering experiences shaped his leadership philosophy• The concept of the “Seven Internal Summits”—a framework for designing a fulfilling life• A simple nightly reflection practice that reduces regret and increases clarity• Why health, boundaries, and energy management are leadership responsibilities—not luxuriesSaahil also explains why he chose not to shut down his coaching and speaking business after losing his father—despite financial pressure—and how redefining success allowed him to scale sustainably without sacrificing family or wellbeing.If you’re leading a team, building a company, or managing people while feeling stretched thin, this episode will challenge you to rethink what “winning” actually looks like—and give you practical tools to lead with intention.👉 Watch the full episode, reflect on your own definition of success, and share this with a leader who needs to hear it.💬 Question for you:Which area of your life is quietly draining your energy right now—and what would it look like to reclaim it?🔔 Subscribe to The Leader’s Mindset for weekly conversations on leadership, strategy, and personal growth.Onward and Upward! 🚀✅ If you got value from this episode, do these 3 things:1) Like this video – It helps more people find these insights.2) Subscribe – New leadership content every week!3) Share this episode with a leader who needs to hear this!📌 Exclusive Leadership ProgramsWant to take your leadership development to the next level?📖 Take charge of your own leadership development with our online program: https://www.leducleadership.com/bethebossprogramIf you’re a Human Resources or Learning and Development professional and have a bunch of leaders you’d like to get trained, check out our corporate Leadership Academy for Tech Managers program: https://www.leducleadership.com/leadershipacademy📅 Ready to elevate your leadership skills?

  • Coaching and Training: Why We Need Both

    Coaching and Training: Why We Need Both
    Feb 17 2026
    Why does your organization keep spending money on training… but behavior never really changes?Most leaders assume the problem is the quality of the training itself. But that’s almost never the real issue. The truth is simpler—and more uncomfortable: training alone doesn’t change behavior.In this Leadership TTP video, leadership strategist and former U.S. Air Force officer Jason LeDuc breaks down one of the most common (and costly) leadership mistakes organizations make—treating training and coaching as if they’re the same thing, or worse, choosing one and ignoring the other.Training shares knowledge.Coaching turns knowledge into judgment, confidence, and action.When leaders rely on training without coaching, the results are predictable: short-term awareness, followed by long-term regression to old habits. In this video, Jason explains why that happens—and how high-performing organizations avoid it.You’ll learn:• Why training is essential for alignment, shared language, and standards—but not sufficient on its own• How coaching is where learning actually becomes leadership• The role reflection plays in real growth: what worked, what didn’t, and what to do differently next time• Why accountability after the classroom is the missing link in most leadership programs• How combining training and coaching creates durable behavior change, even under pressureDrawing on real-world leadership experience in high-pressure environments, Jason walks through a practical framework showing how strong leaders use training to establish clarity—and coaching to drive execution when it matters most.This isn’t theory. It’s what happens when organizations stop checking the “training complete” box and start building leaders who can actually apply what they’ve learned when stress, time pressure, and real decisions show up.If you’re responsible for leadership development, talent growth, or team performance—and you’ve ever wondered why great content isn’t producing great results—this episode will change how you think about training forever.💬 Join the conversation:Where have you seen training fall short because coaching was missing—or coaching fail without a shared foundation?
