## Resource

Pete Rushmore built a business, hit the metrics that were supposed to mean something, and felt nothing. Not because he failed. Because the vision he was chasing was answering a question he'd never actually asked. This episode follows the performance trifecta he developed out of that realisation: direction, skills, energy, and why energy is the foundation even though it's the last thing anyone looks at. Motivational mapping, self-determination theory, the gap between what people say drives them and what actually does. Bob and Ben both have opinions. Pete handles them graciously. https://www.omniscient-insights.com/rls-program - FIRST MONTH FREE Subscribe so you never miss an episode.
