In this podcast, the host argues that Valentine's Day is overrated and instead emphasizes the importance of being intentional in relationships as a sign of good leadership. Doug discusses the difference between being intentional and passive in relationships and the importance of focusing on controllable actions. 

Doug also emphasizes the need for a positive vibe and a focus on value in relationships, and suggests various levels of intentionality, ranging from simple gratitude and birthday messages to acts of service and selflessness. 

Finally we stress the importance of showing up consistently, whether through phone calls or in-person meetings, and being present for important events and moments. Doug suggest that being intentional in relationships can have positive effects both personally and professionally, and can help build stronger, more fulfilling relationships.

Key Points:

• Being intentional in relationships is an important trait of good leadership, and can have positive effects both personally and professionally.
• It's important to focus on controllable actions in relationships, such as showing gratitude, making time for phone calls and in-person meetings, and performing acts of service and selflessness.
• Different levels of intentionality in relationships exist, ranging from simple messages of gratitude and support to more involved and committed actions, such as being present for important events and sacrificing personal time for the benefit of others.
