In the first installment of our CEO Series, You Go First sits down with Harold Earley, CEO of FXI, for a conversation that goes far beyond corner‑office leadership. Harold opens up about the internal work that shapes external results - the mindset, discipline, and personal clarity required to lead teams, navigate complexity, and build a culture that actually lives its values. Hosted by Lain Hensley of Odyssey Teams, this episode explores the human side of executive leadership: the habits that keep Harold grounded, the decisions that defined his path, and the lessons he’s learned about trust, accountability, and going first when it matters most. It’s a rare look inside the thinking of a CEO who believes leadership starts long before the boardroom. If you’re interested in culture, team performance, or the inner mechanics of modern leadership, this conversation delivers insight, honesty, and a few moments that might just shift how you show up in your own work.
