The Inner Edge with Shane Cradock

256 Adversity: The Accelerator No One Wants but Everyone Needs

Most people fear adversity but it’s often the very thing that builds them - in many cases, transforms them.
In this episode, I explore why the toughest seasons can become the greatest accelerators for growth, clarity, and capability.
You’ll hear stories, insights, and questions that help you reframe your own challenges in a more powerful way.
Because adversity doesn’t block the path - weirdly, it builds it.

255: The Hidden Burnout Cause - Overloading Your Brain

Our technological tools are speeding up but so too are our minds.
The human brain wasn’t built for this pace, and leaders and performers everywhere are starting to feel the strain.
In this episode, I share my thoughts on the rise of what I'm calling HCO (Hyper Cognitive Overload) and share simple, science-backed ways to slow your mind without losing momentum.
Because in a world that’s accelerating, your real edge is learning how to stay calm, clear, and in control.

254: Is Your Mindset Still Relevant?

Every leader outgrows the thinking that got them here. The real question is -has your mindset kept pace with your mission?
In this episode, I share how outdated mental patterns quietly limit growth, plus a story of a CEO who discovered their team was still running a “start-up script.”
Because your best future can’t play through an old, outdated projector.
It’s time to update the reel.

253: Resistance Training (for your business and your Soul)

When life pushes back, most people retreat -but a few get stronger.
The difference isn’t the weight; it’s how you lift it.
In this episode, I explore why resistance isn’t punishment but preparation - the gym floor where your mindset grows stronger.
Because resistance doesn’t block the path. It is the path.

252: A Critical Variable In Radically Better Relationships

Every relationship runs on an invisible ratio. When criticism outweighs enjoyment and appreciation, trust and energy start to fade.
In this episode, I share a simple but powerful principle that transforms how you lead, work, and live: more enjoyment than critique.
Because when appreciation leads, connection and performance follow.

251: Stop Managing Time - Start Managing State

Most leaders think their problem is time - but it’s not.
The real challenge is the state they’re in while managing it.
In this episode, I explore why the next era of leadership isn’t about calendars but consciousness - and how mastering your state transforms clarity, performance, and impact.
Because when you manage your state, time takes care of itself.

250: Inspire Me - Keep Moving Forward

Every leader, performer and creator faces resistance - the voice that says stop, wait, you’re not ready.
In this episode, I share the real story behind my book Inspire Me and what it taught me about persistence.
Whether you’re building a business, writing a book, or chasing a dream, the lesson is the same: Keep. Moving. Forward.Because momentum, not perfection, is what makes things happen

249: Space Is Not a Luxury: The Leadership Shift That Changes Everything

Most leaders don’t fail from lack of intelligence - they fail from lack of space.
In today’s world of noise and busyness, space isn’t a luxury - it’s the master key to clarity, performance, and presence.
In this episode, I share why space matters, stories from leaders who discovered its power, and simple metaphors to bring it home.
The takeaway?
No space, no clarity. No clarity, no presence.
 
Most of us spend our lives firefighting problems. But lasting change doesn’t come from fixing - it comes from redesigning.
In this episode, I explore what I call Results by Design: a way of thinking that shifts you from chasing problems to creating outcomes. You’ll hear practical examples, a real-life leadership story, and a metaphor that will change how you approach recurring challenges forever.

247: Two Hidden Questions That Sabotage You

Even the strongest leaders face doubts after a tough period.
But often it’s not the challenge itself that weighs us down. Rather, it's the hidden questions we ask ourselves afterwards.
In this episode, I explore two of the most damaging questions that quietly undermine leaders - and how to see them for what they really are.
The result? More clarity, less suffering, and the freedom to lead with confidence again.
