OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
How do you lead at the highest level when everyone assumes you already have all the answers? In this episode, Anthony Moss joins Julian Hayes II to discuss the importance of a CEO advisory board and unpack the “commercially lonely” reality of being a CEO, along with why the smartest leaders are the ones willing to be vulnerable and surround themselves with the right thinking partners.
Anthony draws on decades of experience as a CEO, advisor, and author to explain how properly structured advisory boards can transform both decision-making and personal capacity. You’ll hear the difference between a board of directors and an advisory board, why so many founders wake up years later wondering, “How did I end up running this business?”, and how leaders can engineer support systems that sharpen strategy, protect their energy, and ultimately multiply value across the organization.

— Key Quotes from Anthony Moss —
“The reality is, the life of a CEO is what I call commercially lonely.”
“At the end of every advisory board meeting, the CEO should be asking, ‘Was that the best two hours—the best use of my time?’”
“When the CEO walks in each morning, how they show up sets the vibe for the whole organization.”
