The Cost of Ambition in the Age of Innovation with Dr. Naketa Ren Thigpen

 

Most systems focus on output, not connection. On this episode of Balance Boldly, we explore why innovation that ignores intimacy comes at a high cost. “We’ve made it normal to disconnect from ourselves just to stay relevant,” but that disconnection costs far more than it returns.

If innovation erodes your relationships, it’s not true innovation. “Growth that breaks trust isn’t strategy, it’s avoidance.” Intimacy is more than a romantic notion, it’s a practical and foundational tool for ALL of the relationships you create, from the bedroom to the boardroom. Being present helps you lead better, make smarter decisions, and scale with integrity.

This episode is for leaders ready to embrace connection as a core driver of sustainable success.
