Growth CEO Interviews
Interview with Ashiana Housing Directors Vishal, Ankur & Varun Gupta
October 16, 2025
Most leadership challenges aren’t caused by a lack of intelligence or effort. They’re caused by a lack of clarity — and the discipline to focus on what truly matters.
In this interview, Kevin sits down for a candid conversation about what it really takes to lead and grow in complex environments. Drawing from decades of working alongside CEOs and senior teams, he explores why simplicity is so hard, why facing reality is non-negotiable, and how leaders can cut through noise to make better decisions — both in business and in life.
This isn’t theory or hype. It’s a practical, honest look at the habits and mindsets that separate leaders who stay stuck from those who create sustained momentum.
