(OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 5, 2026) –  The sixth episode of “Brain of Command,” co-hosted by Nate Rempe, President and CEO of Omaha Steaks, and Robert Reiss, CEO of The CEO Forum Group, is now available for streaming. The podcast centers on the “Magic 11” behavioral hacks that can help leaders transform into effective CEOs, no matter where they start on the organizational chart today. Through monthly episodes, Rempe and Reiss will talk with other industry-leading CEOs, breaking down what it takes to command a room, a career, and maybe even a company.

The sixth “Brain of Command” episode features Sharon Price John, President and CEO of Build-A-Bear, exploring hack #6 of the Magic 11 hacks: the right way to brag.

“Humility is a good thing – until it holds you back. You have got to put yourself and your achievements out there,” says Rempe. “I want people to share their wins. I want them to be self-aware of their level of humility so they can move it aside temporarily and shine in the spotlight every now and then.”

"I am going to riff on the idea of honesty. I think that helps people think through this quagmire of what’s bragging and what’s not and how do I do it the right way. I think by calling it just being honest, that also helps the people who might lean toward humility,” says John. “The truth is that people are seeking out a certain level of earned confidence in leaders. They want you to be confident. You have to be confident; it is an earmark of being able to do the job.”

Reiss also shared his personal experience utilizing the right way to brag to elevate his program, The CEO Show, when starting out in 2007. Through cold calling, he built a solid guest base that he could share to attract more top-tier CEOs to speak on his show and continue to build the reputation of the program.
