About this episode

This episode explores how hormones influence leadership, decision-making, and enterprise value for CEOs and entrepreneurs.

Hormones are running your leadership, your decisions, and your enterprise value, whether you know it or not. In this episode, we break down 5 foundational hormones every CEO and entrepreneur needs to understand: testosterone, cortisol, thyroid, insulin, and growth hormone. We cover what each hormone governs at the operational level, what decline actually looks like in the boardroom and at home, and the highest-leverage actions to start moving the needle. — Episode Chapter Big Ideas (timing may not be exact) — 0:00 – Introduction & something feels different 3:34 — Reframing hormones into a business conversation 6:26 — The five hormones overview 7:41 — Hormone 1: Testosterone 17:08 — Hormone 2: Cortisol 24:09 — Hormone 3: Thyroid 30:20 — Hormone 4: Insulin 38:13 — Hormone 5: Growth Hormone 43:14 — The interconnection: none exists in isolation 46:21 — Actions: Moving the needle for each hormone — Connect with Julian and Executive Health — LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/julianhayesii/ X — https://x.com/thejulianhayes Don’t let your biology become the bottleneck to the enterprise you’re building.
