I can't recommend this book enough. It should be on every leaders desk!\n \nIn this conversation we explore the gap Nick spends his days trying to close where most people can name one or two leaders who genuinely built them up, and on average the six who we remember broke us down. His first book weaves that basketball story together with his leadership playbook, bookended by purpose and legacy, with direction, connection, excellence and enablement in between.\n \nNick shares why leadership isn't about getting louder, it's about getting closer. Why real self-confidence as a leader shows up in being able to say \"I was wrong\" and \"I don't know.\" Why we so often replicate the leaders we've seen before, even the ones who hurt us, and what it takes to lead on purpose instead. He calls leadership love with standards, and in this episode he unpacks what that actually means in practice.\nWhether or not you're a sports fan, this is a conversation about the kind of leader you want to be remembered as and the small, intentional moves that get you there.\n\nPre-Order Nicks Book – Release Date: Sep 8th, 2026\nhttps://abundantempowerment.com/about/team/nick-reich/\nhttps://www.peoplefirstplaybook.com/...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/GKNi7DdQU_BJeq0wbwgcreMIVqBVrvrZ70MLfbpabyA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84NzRi/ZDRjM2ZhMzc1NzI3/NmY5MTFiMjZiZGI3/OWJmZi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
