In this unique episode, Jonathan and Alan explore how the 7th inning stretch in baseball offers a powerful metaphor for leadership—especially during the summer. Whether you're crushing your goals or feeling stuck halfway through the year, summer provides a built-in opportunity to pause, reset, and reconnect.
They unpack how leaders can make intentional use of this season to reflect, recalibrate, and reengage before heading into the fall sprint. From practical tips on celebrating small wins to the value of solitude, this conversation blends storytelling, humor, and deeply practical wisdom.
