Adam Contos sits down with success coach and top-ranked podcaster Mitch Matthews to explore how high-performing leaders and entrepreneurs can break out of incremental thinking, ignite bigger possibilities, and turn ambition into measurable momentum. It’s a powerful conversation about cultivating the C word, building the A word, and leading with both imagination and execution - designed to help you unlock smarter strategy, stronger teams, and results that compound. If you’re ready to lead beyond limits and create meaningful wins in business and life, this one will stretch the way you think.

For more than 20 years, he’s helped high-achieving leaders and entrepreneurs clarify their purpose, think bigger, and take bold action. He’s interviewed world-class performers - from bestselling authors to Oscar winners - and coached leaders at NIKE, NASA, Disney, and United Airlines. Mitch is also the creator of The Authority Bridge™, helping professionals build aligned, impact-driven coaching and speaking businesses.
