Leading with Harmony: From Pets to Powerful Habits with Scott Ferguson

Creating Harmony, Not Balance

Scott Ferguson returns for a powerful conversation about living and leading with harmony. He breaks down why “balance” can be misleading—and how tuning the different parts of our lives, like instruments in a jazz band, creates true harmony. From coaching athletes to executives, Scott shares how small adjustments can lead to big transformations. We talk about the trap of living in the past, the power of imagination, and how faith over fear fuels progress. He reminds us that goals follow standards—and when you raise yours, more options open up.

From Unsolicited Pitches to Powerful Daily Habits

Scott and Regina explore the fine line between helpful outreach and annoying cold pitches. They also swap favorite daily practices—including hydrogen water—and how these tools support focus, hydration, and energy. Scott shares what’s helped him prepare for intense speaking schedules, and Regina ties in her own health experiences post-dengue and malaria. A fun, honest look at what works, what doesn’t, and how leaders choose wisely.

How Volunteering, Pets, and Speaking Gigs Intersect

Scott shares how his travel routine goes far beyond hotel check-ins and keynote speeches. He talks about volunteering at pet shelters between gigs and the joy and other benefits he gets from it, highlighting how leadership isn’t just about professional achievements, but also about making a meaningful impact in unexpected ways. We also explore how dogs reflect their humans and why they can be surprisingly good character judges. This leads to a deeper discussion on leadership qualities—how compassion and the ability to connect with others are vital to leading effectively.
