ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What if the most valuable form of wealth isn't money–it's having the space to think?
Dr. Diane Dye never planned to become an entrepreneur. After being laid off just months into her master's program at USC, she was forced to choose between giving up her education or creating a new path. That unexpected setback led her to launch her own consulting firm, eventually earning a doctorate in organizational change and developing the Braver Innovation Method to help founders and CEOs navigate change.
In this conversation, Amy and Dr. Dye explore why "time wealth" may be one of the most overlooked forms of abundance. They discuss how constant busyness stifles creativity, why innovation requires space rather than endless hustle, and how leaders can build organizations where people feel empowered to think, contribute, and challenge the status quo. They also examine the role of AI in leadership, the danger of replacing human judgment, and why the best ideas often emerge when we create room for them.
