My Quest for the Best is a business leadership interview show for owners and leaders of small to mid-market companies who want practical, immediately applicable insights — not theory, not motivation, not a disguised sales pitch.

Host Bill Ringle brings 20 years of executive coaching to every conversation, including building worldwide training programs at Apple and more than 4,000 coaching sessions with tech founders and their teams as they scaled their business. He knows which questions move past the book summary and into the real mechanics: the failure before the breakthrough, the specific constraint they did not see coming, the decision that looked wrong until it worked. Guests are published authors and proven practitioners. Recent episodes feature Nir Eyal on reclaiming attention inside a distracted workplace, Whitney Johnson on developing your best people before someone else does, Ruth Gotian on the consistent habits of high achievers, and Stu Heinecke on growing a small business without an enterprise-scale budget. The show covers every dimension of leading and growing a company: leadership, team culture, sales, marketing, productivity, mindset, and communication. That breadth is deliberate. When you lead a growing business, specialization is not an option, as countless other founders, leaders, and rising stars have shared. At 415 episodes and counting, the library is already built.

Interview Insights Top 3 Takeaways Position yourself to succeed with your peers instead of wanting only you, and you alone, to succeed. Know your price and the number needs to be the number where you don’t have to work anymore; that way, you’d know when it’s time to sell. When somebody tries to throw you off your game through their words or actions, you have the option not to let that land.

[03:32]How do we know when it’s time to sell? Beate highlights the importance of knowing your price and advises us to make sure it’s a figure enough that we don’t have to work anymore. [05:01]Knowing her numbers, Beate found a perfect buyer in Bill Gates. [07:16]A common problem in the US and many parts of the world is the gender pay gap. Beate gives her insights as for why many women are paid less and how they could address this. [10:39]Mary was a client of Beate’s who, despite being a top 1% in the fabric world, was not taken seriously as a business leader. After working with Beate, Mary became more confident in positioning herself as the leader that she is. [12:24]Why insecurity is ugly and a cavemen mentality that women need to shed. [16:58]“You’re too emotional” is only a checkmate move if we allow it. Beate advises women getting these comments to laugh it off and carry on with business as usual. [20:24]Beate recalls a former colleague and teammate Sandy who despite having a healthy and friendly relationship with her when Beate first joined the company, became embittered and resentful of her promotion.
