Even when you think you have no choice. And if you are unable to make a decision, you are choosing to stay in a state of indecision. The only question is - are your choices taking you where you want to go? I am Sumit Gupta, and this is \"Choosing Leadership\" - a podcast for high performers with big dreams - who know deep inside that there is more. This is a podcast for people who know they are more powerful than the level they are currently playing. I have spent a long time feeling powerless, and that is why I see where you are powerful even when you cannot. I dare to say what most people would not. I dare to speak to the \"tremendous power\" which you already have rather than what you believe are your strengths and limitations. This podcast is called \"choosing leadership\" - because that is what leadership is - a choice. The choice to step into the unknown. The choice to see fear as a friend. The choice to take courageous action rather than waiting for readiness. Join Sumit in exploring this question when it comes to your leadership.

I believe we all have a lot to learn from each other's stories - of where we started, where we are now, and our successes and struggles on the way. With this series of interviews, my attempt is to give leaders an opportunity to share their stories and for all of us to learn from their generous sharing. If you know a leader whom you would like to see celebrated on the show, please send me a message on LinkedIn with their name. What does it really take to hold onto a dream for 40 years—and actually bring it to life? In this conversation, Ron Rubin shares hard-earned lessons on patience, succession, and making bold decisions without losing your footing. You’ll hear how great leaders balance risk with wisdom, let go at the right time, and build businesses that last beyond them. More importantly, this episode challenges you to stop chasing distant opportunities and start recognising the “gold” already within your reach. If you’re navigating growth, transition, or uncertainty, this one will hit closer to home than you expect. You can find Ron Rubin at the links below https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronrubin/ ron@goldenyourbackyard.com In the interview, Ron shares “Dreams don’t expire—they just wait for the person patient enough to build them.” “What looks like a long delay is often just the time required to do something meaningful.” “The best business advice I ever received was simple: stay debt-free and sleep well at night.” “Succession isn’t about stepping away—it’s about setting someone else up to win.” “If you don’t have a plan to let go, you don’t have a leadership strategy—you have control issues.” “Most people chase opportunity in distant places, while ignoring the gold sitting in their own backyard…","meta_description":"This is the Leadership Journey series on the Choosing Leadership Podcast.
