Positive Intent and Other Life Lessons with Owen Fitzpatrick

The Better Leadership Team Show

In this episode, I sit down for an interview with my good friend Owen Fitzpatrick for an in-depth conversation about leadership, personal growth, and some of the most important lessons I’ve learned throughout my life. We cover a wide range of topics, from the challenges of today’s polarized world to the importance of curiosity in leadership.

I also share some personal stories, including how my relationship with my son, who has Asperger’s Syndrome, was transformed through something I call the law of positive intent. We talk about how this concept—believing that others are doing the best they can with the resources they have—has changed the way I approach both my personal and professional life.

We dive into:

• How strong opinions and polarization are impacting the world today.
• Why curiosity is such a critical trait for great leaders.
• How positive intent can help you improve your relationships at work and home.
• My thoughts on aging, finding purpose, and dealing with mortality.
• The ups and downs of parenting and how I’ve grown through my own mistakes.

This episode is packed with stories and reflections on the lessons that have shaped me. I hope it offers you some useful insights and maybe even inspires you to live a more intentional, fulfilled life.
