Think on These Things
Written By KIRU

Jan 21, 2026 — Brooklyn, NY

On the show today, we explore the immense power of a "North Star" in helping you achieve your biggest professional and personal goals.

I will share three of my major goals for the year 2026, and reveal the two individuals I’ve zeroed in on as North Stars in my life: trailblazing executive Michael Leach (First-ever White House Chief Inclusion Officer) and Leila Hormozi (Founder and CEO of Acquisition.com, who is scaling toward $1B).

This episode includes notes on how to:

  • Identify your own North Stars to eliminate guesswork and build a stronger gameplan

  • Utilize North Stars to maintain focus and momentum toward your goals

  • Harness the regenerative force of gratitude to build positive momentum and "organic moments of exhilaration" in your life
