The Ambition podcast features conversations with business leaders who have embraced risk, shattered ceilings, and leaned into the tension between building both a business and a life they are proud of. Recurring themes like embracing failure and staying focused on the vision while mired in the day-to-day reveal the reality of what it takes to achieve scale within organizations. These stories highlight how achieving the goals we set for ourselves doesn’t always deliver the benefits we anticipated, often resulting in trading one set of problems for another. Yet, through these experiences, listeners can discover the strategies that help turn challenges into opportunities for new growth and fulfillment.
Drawing from his interactions with thousands of business owners as co-founder of a private equity firm, host Nick McLean delves into what has shaped and motivated these leaders, making Ambition an essential listen for those seeking to grow professionally and gain deeper insights into their own unique journeys.
