So today's guest is the renowned researcher and author Brene Brown. probably best known for her work on vulnerability, for her book Dare to Lead. It's really interesting to talk to her now because like many of us, she is struggling with this moment in time. She does not feel like we're okay in our culture, in our business lives, and that we're disconnected and distrustful. So what she's calling for for herself and anyone who wants to go along with her on the ride is to do the hard work to find your balance, find your true north, to lead
from your values and not your fear. I mean that sounds a lot like my recent conversation with Ranjay Gulati about how leaders find courage in uncertain times and that often does involve turning inward first, figuring out your purpose and your personal story and your support network and then taking based on that thinking. Yeah, and look, Brenee is always entertaining. She's quick with metaphors and lessons from culture, from sports.
