The Long Game of Leadership: Curiosity, Humility, and Impact with Harvey Nelson

Season Two launches with Harvey Nelson, entrepreneur, mentor, and lifelong explorer, as we walk through the SPARK Framework (Curiosity, Mindset, Action, Growth, Impact) using stories that are funny, raw, and immediately practical. From hitchhiking across America to leading through real business crises, Harvey shares how small, repeatable choices build resilience, how focus and priority beat busyness, and why people-first leadership creates lasting success. You’ll leave with simple, doable moves: stack one-inch wins, take the next brave step, and let curiosity guide you to better questions and a bigger life. Why curiosity lowers fear and opens doors. Hitchhiking lessons: people, discomfort, and learning fast. Small bets build risk tolerance and resilience over time. People-first leadership, even helping great talent move on. Crisis story: storm + freezer system failure and “next step” thinking. Mental fitness in action: pause, reframe, choose a micro-action. Priority over time: focus, say no, protect what matters. Self-awareness tools: gratitude, visualization, and “rambling” writing. Takeaway: one-inch wins and “be who you want to become.” Closing line: “Life becomes what you make it—so make it be grand.” https://www.toddbertsch.com/podcast/the-long-game-of-leadership-with-harvey-nelson Thanks for listening!
