Create the Future with Rick Williams Podcast

Follow Rick Williams on LinkedIn


I am excited to announce the launch of my Create the Future with Rick Williams Podcast.

Leaders like you will come on the podcast and share their stories about difficult decisions they made for their company and, in some cases, for themselves. They will talk about the challenge they faced and how they decided what path to take. I will ask them about the lessons they learned from making tough choices – what worked and what did not.

Here is the opening episode where I talk with Josh Elledge about the podcast. Before watching the episode, please scroll down and read my ASK below.

You will be able to watch and listen to the podcast on all the channels, including Pandora and iHeart Radio. I know you will grow your leadership skills by learning from the experiences of my guests.

My Ask of You

Please go to the podcast channels you use and follow my Create the Future Podcast so you will know when new episodes come out.

Over the next few weeks, I will record podcasts to broadcast in January, February, and March. If you have a compelling story to share about a tough decision you made, come on my podcast and tell your story. I want to broadcast stories that will help listeners around the world become better decision makers for their organization and in their own lives.

The interviews are virtual so you can do them from anywhere in the world. If you want to be a Guest on my podcast and share what you have learned about making difficult decisions, go to my website HERE.  Scroll down the page to the Podcast section and click on the link to the Create the Future with Rick Williams Podcast.

Your podcast episode will be a video and audio piece you can use to tell your story and perhaps your company’s story to your team, employees, customers, and community. Yes, you will get visibility to a large US and international audience, but the primary benefit of your participation is that you will help other leaders learn from your experiences when making difficult decisions.

If you know someone who would be a great guest on the podcast, please make an introduction.

Please Remember:  If you want to send me an email message, use Rick@RickWilliamsLeadership.com.

Yes, my book Create the Future is your leadership guidebook for making difficult decisions – Best Seller on Amazon. My podcast is not about the book, but the book is the inspiration for the podcast. Create the Future gives you the practical step-by-step process for making better decisions. The truth is, we learn from listening to others share their stories about facing challenges similar to the ones we face.

Light on Walden Pond

Henry David Thoreau wrote Walden, or Life in the Woods, chronicling his experience living in a small cabin on the edge of Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts. The book is about self-reliance and self-discovery before cell phones and cable TV.

Walking around Walden Pond is one of the ways I reconnect with nature and who I am. As I walk, the composition of the lake, the trees, the sky, and the clouds is constantly changing. The surface of the lake shimmers in the wind, then sits still and shares again, in reflection, the beauty of the sky and its clouds. I paused in a small cove of the pond to enjoy this scene of wonder and peace.

I am thinking back over this past year and wondering which of my photographs you will vote to be your favorite for 2025. This may be a year when the winning photo has nothing to do with sailing. Water perhaps, but not sailing.
