In the newest episode of , Dr. Drew Brannon sits down with new AMPLOS team members Brandon Bailey and Matt Barnes to explore the importance of getting right.

A bad executive hire costs far more than a salary. It can erode culture, stall momentum, disrupt strategy, and create a ripple effect throughout an organization.

So, what actually separates executive search from traditional recruiting?

Together, they explore the value of a structured, research-driven approach to finding leaders, one that looks beyond technical qualifications to consider cultural fit, leadership experience, behavioral strengths, team dynamics, and the needs of the organization itself.

They also dive into what makes an effective interview, why resumes should read more like a highlight reel than a job description, the red flags search professionals look for, and why the right search partner should bring insight and honest guidance, not simply a list of candidates.

In this week's Growth Spurt for , Anthony Alibro explores a simple but powerful question: What are you practicing every day?

We tend to think of practice as something reserved for developing a skill. But practice is really just repetition, and repetition can make almost anything automatic. Worry. Avoidance. Complaining. Procrastination. The brain doesn't stop to ask whether a repeated behavior is helping or hurting us. It simply gets better at what we repeatedly do.

So take a moment to audit your day. What are you reinforcing through repetition? What habit is costing you the most? And what could you practice instead?

Because you're always in training. The only question is: What are you training for?

In the newest episode of , Drs. Drew Brannon and Milt Lowder sit down for our annual College Football Week 1 Breakdown.

Week 1 is always full of anticipation, emotion, uncertainty. Together, Drew and Milt explore what college football can teach us about responding to the unexpected, adapting when plans change, avoiding overreactions to a small sample size, and leading from a place of steadiness rather than emotion.

Because whether you're on the sidelines, in the workplace, or navigating everyday life, the challenge is the same: stay true to who you are, persevere, and focus on what you can control.

In this week's Growth Spurt for , Dr. Milt Lowder explores the difference between leaders who seek the spotlight and those who intentionally put it on others. Recognition isn't just a nice gesture, it can be one of the most powerful ways to build confidence, reinforce positive behavior, and help people feel valued and connected to something bigger than themselves.

It's easy to take credit. Your idea. Your strategy. Your solution. Your accomplishment. But what happens when you shift the focus from "Look what I did" to "Look what our team accomplished"?

Sometimes, the most powerful thing a leader can do is step out of the spotlight and give someone else the opportunity to shine.

In the newest episode of , Dr. Drew Brannon sits down with Michael Rudinsky for the final installment of our three-part series on .

We know what AI is. We’ve explored how to think about it. Now, what do we actually do with it?

Together, they move from concepts and mindset to practical action, exploring how individuals and organizations can begin building the skills and habits needed to use AI effectively. They discuss the importance of getting reps, staying curious, using AI as a thought partner rather than a replacement, and knowing when to keep human judgment in the loop.

The opportunity with AI is enormous. But realizing that opportunity requires more than adopting a tool. It requires learning how to use it in a way that makes people, and organizations, capable of more.

In this week's Growth Spurt for , Dr. Gabriela Caviedes explores the hidden cost of task switching and explains why you can sit down to focus without actually being mentally present.

You leave a meeting and start working on a project. Your phone is silent. Your email is closed. There are no obvious distractions. And yet, 30 minutes later, you've barely made progress. The distraction may not be what's in front of you. It may be what's still running in the background.

Dr. Caviedes explains the concept of attention residue and how unfinished, rushed, or emotionally charged tasks can follow us into whatever comes next, quietly draining our focus and energy.

The challenge is simple: Before switching tasks, take 30–60 seconds to close the loop. Write down where you left off and what your next step will be when you return. Sometimes, better productivity isn't about doing more. It's about giving your brain permission to fully move on.

In the newest episode of , Dr. Drew Brannon sits down with Michael Rudinsky for Part 2 of a three-part series exploring one of the biggest challenges facing organizations today: AI.

But successful adoption isn’t just about choosing the right technology. It’s about preparing people for change.

They discuss the importance of mindset, clear communication, and identifying the unique strengths humans bring to the table. Rather than viewing AI as a replacement for people, they explore how organizations can use it as a tool to amplify human potential, creativity, and impact.

As AI continues to transform the workplace, the organizations that thrive won’t simply be the ones that adopt AI first. They’ll be the ones that help their people understand how they can grow alongside it.
