AI won’t replace CEOs but CEOs who use AI will replace those who don’t.
AI won’t replace CEOs but CEOs who use AI will replace those who don’t. - Mr Joe Leech
The question isn’t whether AI can do the work. It’s whether you can redesign the work around AI. Did you know? Electricity was invisible but revolutionary. AI will be the same until it’s everywhere,…

How much money do I need to never work again?

Not in a “live on the beach forever” kind of way. But realistically if I sold the business, cleared the decks, and wanted financial freedom… What’s the number?

New in the CEO seat?

The bar you set now becomes the standard your team lives by.

Low standards won’t stay small, they spread fast.

Raise the bar early and hold it there.

Are humans evolved for truth… or for survival?
As a CEO, you need truth.

Most first-time CEOs don’t fail from one big blow-up.

Effortless leadership isn’t easy.
It’s crafted. It’s quiet.
It nudges instead of pushes.
It’s not barking orders.
It’s opening paths, probing resistance, and guiding people towards better outcomes without blunt force.
The best leaders don’t force change, they unlock it.

Just sat in the CEO seat? Most won’t tell you this:

Your team hides the real problems until you show them it’s safe.

Trust starts with your vulnerability.

You don’t have to do something amazing every day. It’s fine if today felt “just okay.”

Have an average day and be proud of it.

Here’s my short video, “There’s Nothing Wrong With an Average Day,” if you want to hear more.

Venture capitalists don’t just bring money, they can also bring baggage.

This one’s a must watch.

Paul Traynor breaks down the “cloud of stuff” that CEOs NEED to understand if they want to build strong partnerships.

You're not the problem BUT... (your CEO identity might be)

Here’s the truth: The founder identity that got you here is not the CEO identity that will get you there.

Don’t iron your own shirt.

You’re not being frugal.

You’re being foolish.

$50 saved = exhaustion + poor leadership.

The best CEOs invest in energy, not ego.

👉 What's your version of the $50 shirt?
June 13, 2025 at 9:11 AM
Your boss is an a–hole.**

And if you're the CEO… it's probably you.

Stop making rules that break you.

Don’t save $50 by losing 8 hours of rest.

Protect your energy like it is revenue.

5 signs you're a terrible boss... to yourself:

You save money, not energy.

You follow team preferences over your health.

You DIY everything.

You're always depleted.

You think you're being “efficient.”

You're the CEO. Start acting like it.
