Leading through Values: How Curiosity and Kindness Shaped Alan Federman's Real Leadership

In this episode of the Becoming Better Podcast — 25 Leaders to Follow in 2025 series, Jesse sits down with Alan Federman to talk about the values that truly shape great leadership. Jesse reflects on a recent conversation with his daughter that reminded him of two core values he carries with him in work and in life: curiosity and kindness. Together, Jesse and Alan explore how those values influence the way leaders show up, build relationships, and continue to grow. Listeners will also catch a lighthearted “easter egg” moment (hint: Watergate 👀) that reminds us leadership is about being authentic, not perfect. Join us for this thoughtful, human conversation — and celebrate Alan as one of our 25 Leaders to Follow in 2025.
