He also discusses ACTi, his emerging AI venture that brings ethical influence into decision intelligence, and the habits and disciplines that allow him to navigate intense workloads while remaining grounded.

Listeners will walk away with practical insights on truthful communication, emotional regulation, daily performance, and the pursuit of exponential results.
