  • Reflection: When You Grow Your People, Revenue Follows
    Oct 3 2025

    What if your company’s biggest goal had nothing to do with profit?

    In this Reflection Session, Benj and McKenzie share a client story where the team set a destination called 200 opportunities in three years — supporting personal milestones like paying off loans, running marathons, and taking dream trips.

    This people-first approach to leadership development strengthened workplace culture, built team alignment, and sparked the kind of clarity that drives real business growth.

    It turns out that when you grow your people, revenue follows.

  • Hot Takes: How Leaders Stay Relevant as Their Teams Grow
    Sep 19 2025

    What keeps leaders relevant as their teams grow?

    In this Hot Take, Benj Miller and McKenzie Decker react to two very different insights:

    • Scott Farquhar, Co-CEO of Atlassian, on the four core responsibilities of a CEO (from his conversation with Harry Stebbings on 20VC)
    • Arthur Brooks on the shift from fluid intelligence to crystallized intelligence as leaders mature

    Together, these ideas spark a bigger conversation about how managers become leaders and what it really takes to stay effective as your company scales.

  • Soul Dive: Reframe Your Story Before It Frames Your Leadership
    Sep 1 2025

    Every leader carries stories. Some inspire, some wound, some quietly drive decisions without us noticing. The risk is simple: if you don’t reflect and reframe them, they frame you.

    In this Soul Dive, Benj Miller and McKenzie Decker explore three timelines of transformation: past experiences, pivotal shifts, and present choices. They share their own stories and invite you to uncover the moments that have shaped your leadership voice.

    Listen in and learn how to use your story with clarity, trust, and purpose.

  • Reflection: Execution, Strategy… or Leadership? What Actually Moves the Needle
    Aug 13 2025

    In this Reflections episode of Sessions with System & Soul, Benj Miller and McKenzie Decker unpack a question that challenges leaders in every stage of growth: is it strategy, execution, or something else entirely that drives real progress?

    Pulling from candid conversations with CEOs and COOs, they explore why top performers do not always make great leaders, the hidden cost of relying too much on subject matter expertise, and how to navigate the long middle between today’s reality and your growth vision.

    You will discover:

    • How leadership demands shift from startup to scale-up
    • Why “strategy vs. execution” is often the wrong debate
    • Signs your senior leaders are misaligned with their role
    • When to coach existing leaders versus hire fresh talent
    • A mindset shift that can break through leadership bottlenecks

    Whether you are leading a tech startup in Austin, a manufacturing team in the Midwest, or a creative agency in Atlanta, this conversation will help you pinpoint what is truly moving the needle and what is quietly holding you back.
