In this episode of The Mindful CEO, Chris and Aaron explore the uncomfortable middle ground between mindfulness and leadership, where certainty disappears and control stops working. Sparked by a simple intention for stability and a recurring inner message to “let go,” the conversation moves into a deeper inquiry: how do leaders prepare for uncertainty without trying to dominate it? They unpack why surrender sounds like a terrible business strategy, why mindful success feels irreproducible from the outside, and how real power comes from preparation rather than prediction. This episode is an honest reflection on leading without guarantees while staying grounded, capable, and awake.
