“Between shipping disruptions, the lack of containers, high costs because of what’s going on in the Red Sea and higher fertilizer costs, we have this period of disruption that we’ve never encountered before,” said Vojta, who founded the national coffee distributor more than three decades ago. “There’s just so much uncertainty.” https://edition.cnn.com/2026/09/20/economy/covid-diesel-supply-chain Has unstable become the new permanent now?

What's the one decision you've been avoiding? Not the one everyone else thinks you should make. The one that keeps showing up in your mind when things finally get quiet. I've learned something over the years... Most of us don't struggle because we don't know enough. We struggle because the weight of too many decisions makes it hard to know where to start. That's why the first step in Human 10.0 isn't learning another leadership model. It's creating enough clarity to make one better decision. That's exactly what the Leadership Diagnostic is designed to help you do. As you go through it, don't focus on finishing. Focus on discovering. Because one moment of clarity can change the direction of your career, your business, your relationships, or your life. Here's my challenge to you: Complete the Leadership Diagnostic this week. Then come back here and answer just one question: What decision are you finally ready to make? I'll be here reading every response. Let's grow together. — Michael

What if your exhaustion isn't coming from working too hard... ...but from carrying too many decisions for too long? Most leaders don't need more information. They need clarity. That's exactly why I created the FREE Human 10.0 Leadership Diagnostic. This isn't about learning another leadership framework. It's about stepping out of the noise, reducing decision fatigue, and regaining the confidence to make your next decision with clarity. If you haven't started the Diagnostic yet, make this your priority. Take it one lesson at a time. Don't rush it. Reflect. Apply it. Then come back here and answer one question: What's the one decision you've been avoiding that you're now ready to make? That's where transformation begins. Let's get to work. — Michael

Most people think they're stuck. Especially today with all the changes in life! They're not. They're operating with an overloaded decision system. And the harder they push, the harder it becomes to see the next right move. That's exactly why I created the From Stuck to Unstuck Leadership Diagnostic. This isn't another motivational course. It isn't about positive thinking. And it definitely isn't about adding more to your already full plate. It's a practical leadership diagnostic designed to help you: 1. Identify what's really creating friction 2. Regain clarity under pressure 3. Make your next best decision with confidence 4. Build momentum through practical action—not overwhelm Over the past two decades, I've worked with executives, entrepreneurs, veterans, and leadership teams navigating uncertainty and high-stakes decisions. One thing has become incredibly clear: You're not stuck. Your decision system is overloaded. This free experience is the first step toward changing that. Whether you're leading a business, a team, your family, or simply trying to figure out what's next, this diagnostic will help you see your situation differently—and give you practical tools you can apply immediately. Here's my challenge to you: Don't binge the course. Take one lesson at a time. Complete the workbook. Do the exercises. Implement one behavior before moving to the next lesson. Small, consistent decisions create extraordinary momentum. When you've completed the diagnostic, come back here and share your biggest insight. I'd love to hear what shifted for you. Welcome to Human 10.0. Let's get clear. — Mike

Hey All - for those of you who have joined me for the Ask Me Anything calls every other WED, it has been a true pleasure. I'll be resuming those in AUG as I've got a heavy travel schedule between client visits and vacation plans. That said, if there is ANYTHING you need to discuss, jump into my calendar and we'll find personal time to meet! Remember this: change starts with you and how you perceive the situation or event.
