Episode 3

Lead With Heart

What happens when your job is literally to bring more heart into the world of work? Chris sits down with Claude Silver - the legendary Chief Heart Officer at VaynerX - to explore what it really takes to create workplaces where humans actually flourish.

Claude shares the wild, beautiful story that changed her life on a 93-day wilderness course, how she learned to rewrite the soundtrack in her own head, and why emotional intelligence—not spreadsheets—became her true superpower. They dive into the power of saying yes, how to spot the lies your inner critic keeps whispering, and why supporting people with empathy unlocks levels of creativity and courage most businesses never touch.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

How to catch negative self-talk in the moment and change it
Why saying “yes” can transform someone’s entire trajectory
What emotional intelligence looks like in real, everyday leadership
The simple practice that reprograms your inner narrative
Why psychological safety is rocket fuel for creativity
How becoming “your own CEO” starts with one small mindset shift
What Claude’s kids have taught her about bravery, joy and hope

If you want more heart, more humanity, and a whole lot more possibility at work… this conversation is pure gold.
