Episode Overview:
In this episode of the Executive Connect Podcast, host Melissa Aarskaug sits down with Michael Pedersen—peak performance coach, business strategist, and author of Atomic Actions. Together, they dig into the real mechanics behind transformative success. Hint: it’s not the grand gestures—it’s the tiny, consistent steps that actually move the needle. They explore how fear often masquerades as fact, how reframing language changes results, and why ownership—not perfection—is the path to meaningful growth. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start, this episode offers practical ways to turn that hesitation into daily action.
