Radical Responsibility Podcast

Why do the same relationship patterns seem to repeat themselves, even when we're deeply committed to creating healthier connections?

In this conversation, Fleet sits down with integrative therapist and bestselling author Alex Howard to explore how childhood experiences shape the stories we tell ourselves, the attachment styles we develop, and the nervous system patterns that influence every relationship in our lives. Alex explains why our reactions are often driven less by what's happening in the present and more by the meanings we assigned to our earliest experiences.

Together, they unpack the four attachment styles, the importance of nervous system regulation, and why true healing isn't simply about changing our stories—it's about discovering the deeper truth beneath them. They also explore the difference between translational and transformational healing, how curiosity and compassion can replace defensiveness in relationships, and why cultivating vitality and emotional resilience allows us to show up more fully for the people we love.

Whether you're navigating romantic relationships, family dynamics, or your own healing journey, this conversation offers a practical framework for building greater security, connection, and lasting love.

Most entrepreneurs believe the path to success starts with building a business from the ground up. Roland Frasier believes there's a smarter way.

In this conversation, Fleet sits down with renowned entrepreneur, investor, and acquisitions expert Roland Frasier to unpack the strategies behind buying, scaling, and selling businesses. Roland explains why acquiring established companies often carries significantly less risk than launching a startup, how entrepreneurs can structure creative acquisition deals with little personal capital, and why every business should be built with an exit strategy from day one.

Together, they explore what it means to move from working in your business to working above it, how to overcome the fear of delegation and loss of control, and why building systems, leadership, and operational independence dramatically increases a company's value.

What if the most valuable asset in your business isn't your product, it's your story?

Lisa Nichols has spent nearly three decades helping people find their voice, own their value, and create transformational businesses rooted in purpose. Rising from a struggling single mother living on public assistance to the CEO of a multimillion-dollar company, Lisa has inspired millions by showing that confidence isn't something you're born with; it's something you build through service, conviction, and action. In this conversation, Lisa shares how she overcame imposter syndrome, reframed selling as an act of transformation, and discovered that people don't buy products; they invest in possibilities.
