Radical Responsibility Podcast

Most entrepreneurs spend years trying to grow one customer at a time. But what if there was a faster path?

In this conversation, Fleet sits down with globally recognized mergers and acquisitions expert Jeremy Harbour to explore how entrepreneurs can use acquisitions, mergers, and exit planning to build wealth more strategically. Jeremy explains why buying an existing business often carries less risk than starting one from scratch, how to structure acquisitions with little or no upfront capital, and why every entrepreneur should build a company that's ready to sell—even if they never plan to.

Together, they discuss the mindset shift from operator to investor, the importance of stepping out of the day-to-day, and practical strategies for increasing enterprise value through better systems, strategic partnerships, and thoughtful acquisitions. Whether you're building your first company or preparing for your next chapter, this episode offers a powerful framework for creating scalable businesses and lasting financial freedom.

What if the most valuable asset in your business isn't your product, it's your story?

Lisa Nichols has spent nearly three decades helping people find their voice, own their value, and create transformational businesses rooted in purpose. Rising from a struggling single mother living on public assistance to the CEO of a multimillion-dollar company, Lisa has inspired millions by showing that confidence isn't something you're born with; it's something you build through service, conviction, and action.

What if fatigue isn't something you simply have to accept, and aging isn't nearly as limiting as we've been led to believe?

Ari Whitten has spent more than two decades studying the science of human energy, mitochondrial health, nutrition, circadian biology, and longevity. In this conversation, he explains why many of the declines we associate with aging are actually the result of modern lifestyles, not the aging process itself. Together, we explore how our beliefs about stress directly affect our biology, why healthy mitochondria are essential for sustained energy and disease prevention, and how simple practices like movement, morning sunlight, quality sleep, and whole-food nutrition can dramatically improve health span.

Ari also shares the science behind red light therapy, hormesis, and why challenging your body appropriately may be one of the most powerful anti-aging strategies available.This conversation offers a practical, evidence-based roadmap for creating more energy, greater resilience, and vibrant health at any age.
