Josh Fitzgerald, CEO of Zoomin Groomin, on journaling for leaders: reading your own week back to find the bias you could not see while you were living it.
Josh Fitzgerald, CEO of Zoomin Groomin, on journaling for leaders, and why reading your own week back is the fastest way to find a blind spot.
Josh entered the system as a franchisee in 2023, joined the corporate support team in 2024 while growing to five locations of his own, and became CEO in August 2025.
In this conversation with Stephen Sakach and Tullio Siragusa:
• Writing it down, then reviewing the week on Friday to see the pattern
• Spotting your own bias toward one metric and away from another
• Preparing your mindset before a hard meeting, not just your data
• The pause between the bad news and your reply
• Being self aware enough to be critical of yourself without the spiral
He pairs it with a reading habit: the leaders he learns from are still pushing books at each other, which is the tell that none of them think they are finished.
