The best CEOs don’t run at 100%. They protect headroom — time, energy, capital — so they can act fast when opportunity strikes.

Headroom isn’t waste.
It’s the capacity to seize opportunity when it counts most.

AI won’t replace CEOs but CEOs who use AI will replace those who don’t.
AI won’t replace CEOs but CEOs who use AI will replace those who don’t. - Mr Joe Leech
The question isn’t whether AI can do the work. It’s whether you can redesign the work around AI. Did you know? Electricity was invisible but revolutionary. AI will be the same until it’s everywhere,…

How much money do I need to never work again?

Not in a “live on the beach forever” kind of way. But realistically if I sold the business, cleared the decks, and wanted financial freedom… What’s the number?

New in the CEO seat?

The bar you set now becomes the standard your team lives by.

Low standards won’t stay small, they spread fast.

Raise the bar early and hold it there.

Effortless leadership isn’t easy.
It’s crafted. It’s quiet.
It nudges instead of pushes.
It’s not barking orders.
It’s opening paths, probing resistance, and guiding people towards better outcomes without blunt force.
The best leaders don’t force change, they unlock it.

Just sat in the CEO seat? Most won’t tell you this:

Your team hides the real problems until you show them it’s safe.

Trust starts with your vulnerability.

You don’t have to do something amazing every day. It’s fine if today felt “just okay.”

Have an average day and be proud of it.
