How do leaders navigate crucial inflection points?

That’s what hosts Joe and Reid set out to find out on this season of 1,000 Stories. There are so many inflection points in the course of building, scaling, and sustaining a business–so what are the tools and tactics that today’s best leaders have in their back pocket in order to navigate those inflection points in a way that is not only sustainable for the business, but also sustainable for them as people?

Throughout the season, we’ve spoken to multiple business leaders to gain their perspectives on the matter. Join hosts Joe Mills and Reid Morris on this final episode of this season of 1,000 Stories as they synthesize what they’ve learned about identity and leadership from the past interviews.

2. Filtering relevant and irrelevant information and advice is a skill leaders must hone.

3. Holding the future less tightly allows leaders and businesses to change must easier.
