The Mindful 3 Legged Stool

Show Notes Summary

In this episode of The Mindful CEO, Chris and Aaron pull back the curtain on a foundational conversation shaping the future of the project itself. Rather than presenting polished conclusions, they explore the Three-Legged Stool that holds the Mindful CEO container together, vision, practice, and partnership. They talk candidly about where things have felt wobbly, how misalignment quietly erodes momentum, and why mindfulness alone is not enough without shared responsibility and clear structure. This is a behind-the-scenes look at how conscious leadership actually gets built, not through perfection, but through honest dialogue, mutual ownership, and returning to first principles.
