In this candid and far-reaching episode, Gary welcomes longtime friend and executive coach Jim Dryburgh, who shares his journey through personal loss and professional reinvention. Describing himself as “a man in transition,” Jim offers an honest reflection on navigating change, both individually and in a world that feels increasingly unpredictable.

From shifting global power structures and aging populations to AI, leadership, and the value of trust, this conversation uncovers the big questions today’s decision-makers must wrestle with. Jim’s advice? Cultivate a growth mindset, create systems that empower people, and cut through the noise to focus on what matters most. Insightful, energizing, and timely, this episode is a reminder that clarity isn’t found in certainty, but in how we choose to move forward.
