Legal Grounds | Conversations on Life, Leadership & LawAuthor: Mike H. Bassett
After over three decades in the legal-trenches, Mike Bassett has learned to appreciate two things: good conversation & good coffee.Legal Grounds is an ongoing series of interviews with the people who are shaping our world - legal or otherwise. Witty, irreverent, & always thoughtful, these brief discussions fall somewhere between Night Court & Hoppers Nighthawks At The Diner. With that in mind, we promise your coffee will still be warm when the podcast is done.

Legal Grounds | John R. Miles on Leading with Your Feet, Why Your Circumstance Doesn't Define You, & the Nuances of Situational Leadership
Wednesday, 17 December, 2025
As we approach the New Year, it's almost inevitable that we’ll find ourselves taking stock of all that came and went in the year prior. For most of us, this happens because we are trying to pinpoint those things we hope to improve on over the next 12 months. But as my guest and I discuss in today's episode, when it comes to leadership, these sorts of ‘self-audits’ tend to focus inward, when sometimes we need to take stock of the people and peers we choose to surround ourselves with.Joining me this week is John R. Miles, CEO and founder of Passion Struck, an organization focused on impacting real change by educating people on how to live intentionally. A former U.S. Navy officer, Fortune 50 executive, and global thought leader, John’s core philosophy is that when people matter, they thrive. When organizations make people matter, everything else follows.John is now the executive producer and host of the Passion Struck podcast, ranked in the top 0.01% of all podcasts globally, and his latest book, "Passion Struck: Twelve Powerful Principles to Unlock Your Purpose and Ignite Your Most Intentional Life." was named a Next Big Idea Club Must-Read. As a man of many talents, John shares the leadership lessons he’s seen that transcend any one institution, how situational leadership is about adjusting style, not principles, and the dangers of defining ourselves solely on the circumstances we find ourselves in. Enjoy the show!
