Key topicsThe Mindset Shift from Operator to CEOFleet shares insights on the common traps founders fall into when scaling-trying to do it all, failing to delegate, and staying stuck in 'operator' mode. He explains how immersive, mindset-first training can help entrepreneurs develop true leadership capacity, build effective teams, and move from chaos to clarity. This episode unpacks how to shift from working in the business to leading on the business with purpose and vision. Why Business Leaders Need Contemplative Discipline, Not Just Mindset HacksMost leadership advice today leans on quick fixes-positive thinking, morning routines, productivity tricks. Fleet Maull shows why the deeper training of Zen and Tibetan meditation offers something those methods can’t: the ability to stay fully present in the storm of scaling a business. With 50 years of contemplative practice and 25 years advising executives, he reveals how disciplines forged over centuries sharpen decision-making, expand emotional resilience, and help leaders cut through noise with clarity. This isn’t about slowing down-it’s about developing the presence to lead in complexity. Radical Responsibility®: The Antidote to Victimhood Culture in Business and LifeFleet shares insights on Radical Responsibility®, his framework for helping leaders eliminate blame, reclaim agency, and become an unstoppable force for change. He explores how owning every outcome-regardless of fault-can transform business culture, relationships, and results. Perfect for audiences fatigued by victim narratives and ready for deep accountability. View all topics →
