One of Lasada's principles is about putting principles before profits and he'll discuss why.
What this looks like for someone trying to balance ambition with integrity today.
Another principle he stresses is overcoming invisible barriers. Lasada shares e a specific moment where he confronted one of those barriers, and what shifted for him once you applied this principle.
Relationships, whether personal, professional, or shared, are central to his book. Listen as he shares one of the six principles he feels people struggle with most in relationships, and why.
