Train & Grow Your People (Part 2) dives into making people development the engine of profit and customer value. Michael Walsh shows how to build training into daily work so growth isn’t extra—it’s essential. Align your team’s development with business goals, create clarity, and design growth plans that drive real results. Freedom isn’t stepping back from your team—it’s investing in them so results become integrated and lasting.

Todd Palmer returns to Paper Napkin Wisdom with a transformative mantra: “Everything happens 4 me, NOT 2 me.” As a coach and former CEO who rebuilt from near-bankruptcy, Todd shows how this shift from victim to creator empowers leaders to face adversity with intention. By asking “What’s the gift here?” and owning our thoughts, we move from reactive to proactive. His message: rewrite your story, live in the present, and find growth in every challenge. Life isn’t against us—it’s for us.

David Herle, in episode 263 of Paper Napkin Wisdom, delivers a bold truth: “Power is never given away. If you want it, you have to take it.” Real leadership isn’t about waiting for permission — it’s about stepping up, owning responsibility, and acting with conviction. Power comes to those who claim it, not those who wait. Leadership, David reminds us, must be visible and intentional. If you believe you can make a difference, don’t wait — show up and take it.
