Leadership isn’t just about authority—it’s about adaptability, learning, and knowing when to pivot. In this episode, I sit down with John Cousins, an investor, tech founder, and educator who has built and scaled multiple businesses. We dive into the critical business leadership skills that separate successful entrepreneurs from those who struggle, including how to transition from technical expertise to executive leadership, why financial literacy is essential, and how to leverage ownership for long-term wealth.

John shares his personal journey, from engineering to taking companies public, revealing the biggest lessons he learned along the way. We also explore the evolution of leadership in today’s workforce, the shift from traditional employment to consultant-based models, and why negotiation and communication are now more important than ever. Plus, John explains how classical education and Stoic philosophy have shaped his approach to decision-making and leadership.

If you’re looking to refine your business leadership skills, scale your career, or transition into entrepreneurship, this episode is packed with actionable insights you won’t want to miss!
