The Podcast
The Wider Measure
with Nikki Peal
Thoughtful perspectives on work, life, leadership, and the metrics that matter.
The Wider Measure is a podcast for thoughtful high achievers exploring a fuller definition of success across work, leadership, health, wealth, family, identity, and the metrics that matter.
Through solo reflections, practical ideas, and thoughtful conversations with guests, each episode looks beyond traditional markers of achievement and asks what it means to build a life that feels as successful as it appears.
Selected newsletter editions include a companion podcast episode.
