    Ep.143 I Deciding to Conquer Leadership Anxiety: Am I ‘Infecting’ My Team? with Steve Cuss
    May 29 2024
    Anxiety in leadership isn’t always biting your nails and fretting; it can be as simple as always needing the last word, asking too many questions, shifting the tone of a room, and passing blame. Steve Cuss shares how to break these cultural patterns within your business by tackling the roots of your spiritual wellness. KEY TOPICS Recognizing the impact your presence has when you walk into a room. Asking your employees “What’s it like to experience me at my worst?” Releasing your burdens to God, so others don’t have to carry them for you. How it’s cheaper for your company for you to be well than for you to be anxious.

Website: www.freeblackthought.com Erec Smith is a research fellow at the Cato Institute and an Associate Professor of Rhetoric at York College of Pennsylvania. Although he has eclectic scholarly interests, his primary work focuses on the rhetoric of anti-racist activism, theory, and pedagogy, as well as the role of rhetoric in a free, pluralistic, and civil society. He co-founded Free Black Thought, a nonprofit highlighting viewpoint diversity within black communities. Free Black Thought includes a compendium of black artists, writers, academics, and public intellectuals not discussed in mainstream media. The organization also has a Journal of Free Black Thought, which publishes anything–from poetry to scholarly work—that discusses or displays a variety of viewpoints within the black diaspora. Smith is the author of A Critique of Anti-Racism in Rhetoric and Composition: The Semblance of Empowerment (2020), a book in which he scrutinizes contemporary modes of anti-racism in his field. The book was conceived after Smith's observations of his field led him to conclude that anti‐​racist initiatives did more to disempower students and faculty than empower them. Smith is an advisor for both the Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism and Counterweight, an organization that advocates for classical liberal concepts of social justice.
