How a CEO Advisory Board Improves Your Decision-Making, Health, and Leadership

In this conversation for Julian Hayes II’s podcast, leadership advisor Anthony Moss steps inside the often-unspoken reality of life at the top. He explores why even the most capable CEOs can find themselves operating in isolation, and how a well-built advisory board can change everything — from strategic clarity to personal resilience. Drawing on decades of experience as a CEO, advisor and author, Anthony explains the true role of an advisory board, how it differs from a board of directors, and why vulnerability is a strength for leaders navigating complexity. The discussion also touches on a familiar founder story — the moment leaders realise they’re running the business almost by accident — and offers a practical look at the support systems that help sharpen decisions, protect energy and expand value across an organisation.
