Episode Title: Rethinking Wellness and Feedback Loops in Today’s Workplace
Show Notes:
In this episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, Michael connects with business strategist Andrew Ronchetto to explore how organizations must evolve their approach to wellness, leadership, and performance in an ever-changing workforce.
Redefining Wellness & Feedback in the Modern WorkplaceMichael and Andrew dive into the shifting dynamics of today’s workforce and why it’s time to rethink traditional wellness programs and feedback mechanisms. Andrew shares insights from his business consulting background, along with lessons from a recent personal transformation. The discussion underscores the power of continuous learning and agility in responding to new challenges.
Holistic Workplace Wellness: Going Beyond the SurfaceThey highlight why organizations must move beyond surface-level wellness initiatives to address root causes of burnout and disengagement. Michael and Andrew advocate for a holistic approach—blending tech-enabled solutions with human-centered design—to create environments where people feel heard, valued, and supported. Leaders, they note, must take action at the same level their teams are operating—grounded, informed, and proactive.
Intentional Onboarding: The First 90 Days MatterAndrew emphasizes the critical role of onboarding in setting up new hires—and newly promoted leaders—for success. Whether stepping into a new company or transitioning roles, the first 90 days are a window of opportunity. Michael adds that intentional onboarding directly impacts employee retention and performance, helping to build a culture of trust and accountability from day one.
Defining Roles to Drive Clarity and SuccessClarity in roles and responsibilities isn’t just good practice—it’s mission-critical. Michael and Andrew compare well-functioning organizations to orchestras or military units, where each member understands their role and how it connects to the bigger picture. They also touch on the unique value consultants bring in fostering team alignment and strategy execution.
Supporting Small Businesses Through WellnessSmall business leaders often overlook wellness, assuming it requires massive overhauls. Michael and Andrew challenge that thinking, showing how simple, intentional adjustments can spark better team flow, innovation, and performance. A few small shifts can make a big difference.
Final Takeaway:The future of work demands intentional leadership, personalized wellness strategies, and environments where feedback and growth are constant. Tune in to discover how small changes in approach can drive massive impact—no matter your team size or industry.

Adapting for Impact: Lessons in Resilience and High-Performance from Fighter Pilot-Turned-Entrepreneur Boo Boucousis

From Cockpit to Boardroom: Boo's High-Performance Flight Path
In this compelling episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, Michael chats with Boo—former fighter pilot turned entrepreneur—about his extraordinary journey from the Air Force to launching ventures in the Middle East, real estate, and digital publishing. Boo opens up about navigating the early days of Facebook and Google ads, and how his involvement with Afterburner, a company built on the high-performance mindset of fighter pilots, led to acquiring the business and driving it forward today.
Rethinking Leadership to Reignite Engagement
Michael and Boo explore one of today’s most pressing workplace challenges: leadership credibility and employee engagement. Drawing from Gallup’s recent findings that only 21% of global employees are engaged at work, they discuss how leaders must evolve. The conversation emphasizes trust, credibility, and a radical mindset shift—from managing to truly leading. Leaders must transform good intentions into impactful outcomes and be willing to operate in a “zero authority” culture, where every voice on the team can contribute meaningfully.
The Leadership Learning Curve
Transitioning from a high performer to an effective leader is no small feat. Boo shares stories from his aviation days, where leadership was learned not from textbooks but through real-world experience under pressure. Michael echoes this, highlighting his own growth through trial, missteps, and reflection. The discussion underlines the importance of patience, humility, and a long-term vision—especially crucial for those shifting from individual contributor to leadership roles.
Promotion Pitfalls: The Competency Gap
Boo and Michael tackle the common but dangerous trap of promoting team members beyond their readiness—particularly in sales and production environments. Boo argues that misaligned promotions can do more harm than good, while Michael urges leaders to go deeper—looking at organizational silos, misaligned deliverables, and turnover before reacting. The takeaway? Leaders must have the courage and insight to address these core issues head-on with senior stakeholders.
Disruption as a Leadership Choice
What if disruption wasn’t something to fear—but something to choose? Boo makes the case for embracing disruption through continuous learning, feedback, and iteration. He calls out the rigidity of traditional leadership models and invites leaders to embrace a more agile, mission-driven approach—focusing on progress over perfection.
Mission Clarity in a Noisy World
In today’s hyper-distracted digital era, clarity of mission is more vital than ever. Michael and Boo wrap up with a powerful discussion on the importance of staying focused amid constant change. Drawing on lessons from both fighter pilots and nonprofits, they emphasize strategic anticipation, adaptable leadership, and the need to stay grounded in purpose—no matter how turbulent the skies may get.
 
Christian "Boo" Boucousis, known simply as Boo, started with a strong passion for aviation from an early age. Despite academic challenges, his determination led him to the Australian Air Force, where he became a fighter pilot. Boo’s time in the Air Force was transformative; he mastered the art of high-stakes execution, situational awareness, and structured debriefing—core principles that define his approach today.After nine years, Boo's career as a fighter pilot came to an unexpected halt due to a rare medical condition. Faced with the need to pivot, Boo didn’t shy away from challenges. Instead, he set out to apply the rigorous, high-performance methodologies he learned in the Air Force to the business world. Starting a humanitarian business in Afghanistan, he quickly scaled it to employ over 1,600 people, eventually becoming one of the largest humanitarian support companies globally.His next ventures were just as ambitious, including developing a $42 million high-rise hotel and transforming a print publishing company into a successful digital entity. Boo’s proven success is rooted in his use of military-inspired frameworks like structured debriefing and realistic goal-setting, which enable individuals and organizations to achieve "mission objectives" with high success rates.Through Afterburner Inc, Boo now brings these methodologies to corporate audiences, training teams on how to achieve extraordinary results by focusing on resilience, adaptability, and transparent, actionable steps. His story is one of reinvention, and his techniques help listeners find clarity, optimize performance, and unlock their potential.This journey makes Boo a compelling speaker who not only inspires but equips listeners with practical, results-oriented strategies.Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-boo-boucousis/Website 1: https://callmeboo.com/Website 2: https://afterburner.com/

Why Estate Planning Is a Must-Have Leadership Skill with Fiduciary Expert Sara Ecklein

The Leadership Legacy: Estate Planning with Purpose
In this insightful series, I sit down with Sara Ecklein, a California-based professional fiduciary, to unpack the often-overlooked leadership responsibility of estate planning. We explore how proactive planning—through trusts, wills, and end-of-life directives—is not just about assets, but about clarity, care, and legacy.
🔍 Why Estate Planning Matters for LeadersSara and I dig into the reality that only one in three Americans have an estate plan. We challenge leaders to rise above this statistic, recognizing that thoughtful planning sets a tone of responsibility, transparency, and foresight for families, teams, and future generations. I reflect on my own estate planning experiences and the emotional fallout that can result when plans are vague or outdated.
🧭 Trusts vs. Wills—And Why Updates MatterSara explains the advantages of trusts over traditional wills, particularly when it comes to avoiding disputes and streamlining administration. I share a personal story about naming a guardian in my will and how changing family dynamics made me rethink that choice. We both stress that estate plans aren’t one-and-done—they must evolve as your life, relationships, and leadership journey unfold.
🏢 Estate Planning for Business Owners and EmployersWe explore why estate planning isn’t just personal—it’s professional. I encourage business leaders to consider offering estate planning benefits to employees, knowing that the peace of mind it provides has a ripple effect on workplace culture. Sara shares a sobering story of inheriting poorly managed client files, driving home the point: leaders must live—and plan—with integrity.
🛠 Succession and End-of-Life Planning: The Gaps Leaders MissDespite careful strategic planning in business, many leaders fail to prepare for succession or end-of-life decisions. Sara and I discuss the humility required to ask for help and the courage it takes to prioritize these uncomfortable but necessary conversations. We offer practical advice: if you can’t do it all at once, start small—but start now.
👪 Naming Guardians and Decision-Makers with IntentionWe dive into the importance of selecting guardians and healthcare proxies who are not just family, but fit. Sara emphasizes the value of involving professionals in high-stakes or high-conflict situations, while I remind listeners that choosing the right people—accessible, trustworthy, aligned—is one of the most meaningful decisions a leader can make.
📘 Resources to Get You StartedTo support listeners on their estate planning journey, Sara shares her workbook and website—essential tools to help demystify the process.

Purpose, Profits, and People: Redefining Success in Business and Life with Nick Halaris

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Nick Halaris, a purpose-driven real estate entrepreneur, to explore the evolving landscape of entrepreneurship—and why it’s more important than ever to lead with both ambition and impact.
🧭 Entrepreneurship as a Catalyst for Community Change
Nick and I unpack why more individuals are choosing the entrepreneurial path in today’s transformative era. But we also challenge the narrative that being your own boss is just about personal freedom and financial gain. True leadership means looking beyond profit to ask: How does my work serve my community? Nick shares compelling insights on citizenship and societal contribution, while I highlight the growing trend of entrepreneurship that lacks social alignment—and how we can shift that.
🏠 Real Estate, Resilience & Rebuilding Communities
Nick gives us a look into his company, Metros Capital, and how it's not just about real estate—it's about rebuilding lives, especially in fire-affected areas of Los Angeles. We also talk about his global reach through his Profit Plus newsletter (serving 20,000+ readers) and The Nick Halaris Show podcast. The conversation is rich with actionable ideas for entrepreneurs who want to blend business acumen with real-world impact.
👨‍👧‍👦 Redefining Success: Why Family Still Comes First
I reflect on a personal moment—being one of the few dads at my child’s school event—and how it underscored the disconnect many high-performing professionals face between work and family. In a culture that rewards burnout, I share why intentionally choosing family over hustle is a radical (and necessary) act of leadership.
🗣️ Restoring Civility in a Divided World
Nick and I tackle a tough but timely topic: the erosion of civil discourse in workplaces, politics, and beyond. We discuss the unhealed trauma many are carrying post-pandemic and how cancel culture has exacerbated division. But there’s hope. We highlight examples of respectful, productive dialogue—even across political lines—and discuss why a cultural return to empathy and practical leadership is on the horizon.
💼 Creating Workplaces That Actually Work
What does it take to build a workplace culture where people want to show up? Nick shares business philosophies grounded in ownership, follow-through, and radical transparency (inspired by Ray Dalio). I weigh in on generational differences in the workforce and why empowering employees to also lead helps prevent burnout at every level. We explore the balance between individualism and service—and why the future of work will be defined by how well we do both.

Emotional Intelligence in Leadership with Yosi Kossowsky

In this robust conversation, Yosi Kossowsky shares his journey from engineering to executive leadership, revealing the critical gap in traditional education regarding understanding people. He opens up about his growth path—diving deep into emotional wellness, therapy, limiting beliefs, and the neuroscience behind human behavior. Yosi challenges the long-held notion that humans are primarily rational beings, showing how emotions drive decisions and actions more than we often realize.
Decoding Communication and Team Dynamics
Yosi and I unpack how perception and communication are filtered through our personal experiences—and how those filters can cause serious disconnects in teams. I share a common leadership trap: asking “any questions?” in meetings and wondering why no one speaks up. It turns out that psychological safety and peer pressure play significant roles. Together, we emphasize that leadership today must involve creating a culture where understanding, clear communication, and cross-functional respect are non-negotiable.
Navigating Change: AI, the Pandemic & the Modern Workplace
We dive into the disruptive forces shaping our workplaces—AI, remote work, and the lingering impacts of the pandemic. Yosi and I discuss many organizations' struggles in adapting to these shifts, especially with employee engagement, turnover, and generational gaps. Yosi calls for more innovative strategies and deeper support systems to meet today’s evolving demands. I also flag a growing concern: how AI could economically destabilize regions dependent on virtual assistant roles if we don’t plan thoughtfully.
Emotional Mastery as a Leadership Tool
We explore what it takes to manage your emotions in high-stress situations. I introduce one of my favorite leadership tools—the “feeling wheel,” which helps leaders identify emotions beyond just “angry” or “sad.” It’s about using the right emotional tool for the job, not just muscling through—leaders who understand their feelings and why lead with more clarity, empathy, and purpose.
Creating Human-Centered Workplaces
Yosi and I spotlight emotional well-being at work—not as a perk, but as a performance driver. We discuss the urgent need for organizations to cultivate psychological safety, promote self-awareness, and provide authentic coaching, not just check-the-box solutions. It’s time to normalize asking for help and talking about real challenges, because strong teams are built on open communication and mutual support.
