Twenty-five years in the Secret Service, and the lesson isn’t “become better at interrogation.” It’s almost the opposite: create trust, stop forcing the conversation, and listen. People often reveal far more when they don’t feel like they’re being analyzed.

There’s a great leadership lesson here. If people are afraid to speak openly, you may never hear the idea that could transform the business. Create trust, encourage collaboration, and suddenly innovation has somewhere to grow.That’s how culture can become competitive advantage.

Eric understands that confidence under pressure starts long before the pressure arrives. Preparation creates that confidence. Odoo applies a similar principle to business—connected apps, connected information, fewer surprises, and less friction when it’s time to execute.

I thought setting goals was the key to success until CEO Eric Bailey told me: "A goal is just words on paper. A vision is connected to real feelings." Are your targets just numbers? Follow me. I share what I learn from extraordinary people. Play The Episode 👇 tonydurso.com/Eric-bailey

This is why simply announcing a revenue target rarely changes behavior. People need to understand what achieving that number actually means—for the company, the customer, and themselves. Give the metric meaning and suddenly it becomes much more powerful.

The faster business moves, the more valuable this becomes. Anyone can react to pressure. Leadership is seeing beyond the pressure, understanding what’s actually happening, and choosing the response that moves you toward the bigger goal.

This is a powerful question for anyone driven to succeed. What happens when you finally reach the goal and discover the achievement didn’t give you what you thought it would? Success on the outside and fulfillment on the inside are two very different things.

I’ve found that some of the clearest thinking happens when you’re not trying so hard to think. Step away from the screens, the meetings, and the constant decisions. Give your mind room to breathe.

You learn a lot about leadership when the plan is working. You learn infinitely more when the ground suddenly disappears beneath you. Charlie and Meghan’s experience is an extraordinary example of resilience under pressure—and refusing to surrender the future to fear. 💪

What will AI never replace? Follow me. I share what I learn from extraordinary people. Sir Richard Harpin points to the skilled trades: plumbers, construction workers, repair professionals. AI may change the workforce. It can’t physically fix your house. ▶️ tonydurso.com/richard-harpin

This is one of the most interesting contradictions of the AI revolution. The more sophisticated technology becomes, the more valuable some very human skills may become. You can automate a call—but you still need someone who can walk into your home and fix the problem. 🏠

Twenty-five years with the Secret Service gives Brad a perspective few people have. His lesson is surprisingly human: people tell you more when they feel comfortable enough to talk. That applies to leadership, sales, negotiation—and life. Truly insightful conversation.

This is such a powerful reminder from Brad. We’re wired to size up a situation quickly—but that first impression can become a blind spot. The person, problem, or opportunity we dismiss may be the one deserving our attention most.

Replying to @Eric__Bailey @Odoo
Eric’s strength is turning preparation into performance. Odoo helps businesses do the same by turning scattered processes into one connected system for customers, sales, accounting, inventory and operations. When the pressure rises, clarity becomes an advantage.

“You have to earn the right answer.” That’s powerful. After 25 years interviewing people in incredibly high-stakes situations, Brad learned something every leader can use: trust opens doors that clever questions never will. This is one story you don’t want to miss.

Richard makes a point every entrepreneur should be thinking about: AI won’t affect every job equally. As routine knowledge work becomes easier to automate, people who can physically diagnose, build, repair, and solve problems may command an entirely new premium. Don’t miss this conversation.

Terry built his advantage through better products, smarter distribution, and relentless execution. Shopify gives today’s entrepreneurs many of those same building blocks—commerce, payments, inventory, customer insights, and multiple sales channels connected in one platform.

There’s a powerful leadership lesson here: humility isn’t weakness—it can be a competitive advantage. Listen to your people. Test what you think you know. Stay close to the customer. Then have the courage to act. You’ll want to hear this one.

There’s a point where another accomplishment, another goal, or another number on the scoreboard simply isn’t enough. Success needs meaning behind it. Doing the inner work may be what finally allows us to experience the life we’ve been so busy building.
