  • Building a Business You Actually Enjoy (The Whole PIE of Profit, Impact, and Enjoyment) | Andy Clark
    Apr 14 2026

    In this episode of Spartan Leadership, Josh sits down with Andy Clark — bestselling author, business strategist, and creator of The Whole PIE System™, a framework that helps small-business owners build companies that are more profitable, more impactful, and actually enjoyable to run.

    Josh and Andy go beyond the “business framework” and dig into the man behind it: the tradeoffs, breakdowns, and convictions that led Andy to redesign his life and work around profit, impact, and enjoyment instead of endless hustle. They explore the $500K–$5M bottleneck, the hidden costs of firefighting, and why enjoyment is a serious metric for leaders who want a business that serves their life, not the other way around.

    You’ll hear candid stories about fear, clarity, and calling; how structure creates freedom for both owners and their families; and what legacy Andy wants to leave as a husband, father, and guide to small-business leaders.

  • What’s Really Happening in Iran?
    Apr 7 2026

    What’s really happening with Iran, political corruption, and the growing collapse of leadership?

    In this episode of Leadership in Review, we break down the real issues behind global conflict, media narratives, and the erosion of trust in leadership.

    This isn’t surface-level commentary.

    This is a direct conversation about:
    • The Iran situation and rising global tension
    • Political corruption and institutional distrust
    • Free speech, media influence, and narrative control
    • Why leadership is breaking down across politics, business, and culture

    When leadership fails at the highest levels, it doesn’t stay there—it impacts everything.

    So the real question becomes:
    What does strong leadership look like in a world like this?

    At Spartan Leadership, we challenge leaders to think critically, take ownership, and lead with clarity—especially when things get uncertain.

    Because leadership isn’t about titles.
    It’s about responsibility.
