Christopher ThompsonInstructor Thompson of Dragonfly academy of integrated defensive arts and My self defense studio..Salutatuons! I'm instructor Thompson, a firearms instructor, range safety officer, certified firearms specialists ( allows me to testify in court on firearms and ammunition) and a martial arts instructor. I have twenty seven years in as a teacher, and a practitioner of 31 in Ed Parkers Kenpo.To keep it brief in 2014 a student of mine was brutally, murdered with a knife. He wasn't just a student. He was a family friend and ever since and for more than a decade, I have been studying, creating and building solutions that were not generally known and much of which wasn't even publicly available. As a student first I started cross training in everything I could possibly find. Looking for a solution to how to stop a knife attack. At the time I thought I knew, I was wrong! I promised his parents who were friends of mine that I would always keep his name alive in the bravery of his actions trying to stop someone who just and took the life of his best friend in front of him. I went to Kali, Muay Thai and firerarms. I've spent every day since studying in practicing on how to survive a stabbing event. I run a couple of companies and with my business partner. Those words, " a stabbing event" belong to my colleague Michael. His own experiences were similar to mine, and what he says is, knife defense doesn't exist. There's simply surviving a stabbing event! We created Dragonfly academy of integrated defensive arts. Specializing in managing violence, and specifically on a mission to help serve marginalized communities like LGBTQ+, indigenous and native population, and groups that face targeted acts of violence. We built this to help save lives, because self defenses is for everyone! But not everyone has equal access, our mission is to help those who really need it survive! Our mission is for those groups but our work is for everyone. We want to help as many people as we can and ensure they understand what survival looks like across the spectrum. Because violence and self defense training are not one thing, they're both many things!

Sarah TurnerBrain Red Light ExpertSarah is the founder and CEO of CeraThrive, with a science background and a focused interest in how light influences biology, particularly circadian rhythms, mitochondrial function, and brain health.Her perspective is shaped not only by research, but by hands-on experience, including involvement in clinical trials in neurodegeneration, where she saw first-hand the impact that targeted light therapies can have.What makes her valuable to podcast audiences is her ability to connect that science with real-world application. Rather than presenting health as a set of complex protocols, she explores how modern environments, especially disrupted light exposure, are quietly affecting energy, sleep, and long-term resilience.She also speaks to the idea of agency in wellness and ageing, drawing on both personal experience and ongoing research, and challenging the assumption that decline is inevitable.

Ingeborg Mooiweer Successful in business. But Love hurts?Ingeborg Mooiweer is an executive coach with 35 years of experience helping high-achieving executives break the patterns that make them brilliant at work and struggling at home. She helps executives who have built everything they wanted, except a love life that works.I grew up with a narcissistic mother. I didn't have language for it then, I just knew that love felt conditional, that being enough meant being safe, and that I learned to read rooms before I learned to trust people.That pattern followed me into my career. And into my marriage.I became exceptional at work. I built a practice, helped organisations, and earned the trust of C-suite executives across the world. Professionally, everything looked right.But in the span of two and a half years, I lost seven people who mattered most to me. Grief upon grief, with no room to breathe. Those losses cracked something open  and confirmed what I had been seeing for 35 years in my work: the patterns we develop in childhood to survive become the patterns that silently erode our closest relationships as adults.I call them survival codes. For most high-achieving executives, one of three codes is running the show right now  and they have no idea.

Thomas AddisonNot Just Talk! I have been there. Business Consulting Services for Growth Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA), and Duke MBAThomas Addison is an exit planning advisor, AI strategist, and serial business owner who has been on every side of the transaction table. He lost $1.55M on a business re-entry that looked right on paper — then used what he learned to acquire a garage door company, make money and sell it, execute a 2x exit on a sandwich franchise, and build a federal contracting company with a GSA Schedule and SDVOSB designation. The loss wasn't the end. It was the education that made everything else possible.Today Thomas holds the CEPA certification from the Exit Planning Institute, a Duke MBA, and a CISSP, and owns a commercial PCB repair company that runs without him — because he built it that way deliberately. He works with business owners $2M+ in enterprise value to close the operational and technology gaps suppressing their valuation before a sale, using AI tools he has built and deployed in live businesses. He speaks on exit readiness, the real cost of owner dependency, and how AI is changing what buyers actually pay for.

Jennifer BallowSocial Worker Writes Book About Tooth Fairy to Help Kids Connect with CaregiversMy name is Jennifer Ballow and I’m a social worker and children’s book author in Austin. I wrote a children's picture book about the Tooth Fairy, called Under My Pillow.The story is about five-year-old Sam, who loses her first tooth. At her mom’s direction, Sam puts the tooth under her pillow for the tooth fairy, but the following day, it’s gone! No tooth and no present. Sam writes a letter to the tooth fairy inquiring about the tooth, and the tooth fairy decides to make an exceptional visit to Sam’s house. She arrives with her pet bird Gordy—who, it turns out, has stolen the tooth! Sam, her mom, and the tooth fairy team up to solve the mystery. Once they do, Sam must forgive Gordy’s “trick.” In this way, the book explores themes of problem-solving, trust, and forgiveness.My decades of experience as a social worker have taught me how critical social/emotional learning is to healthy childhood development and that stories, above all else, drive this learning—especially when reinforced by related activities. I wrote UNDER MY PILLOW to give kids the words to express their emotions, to model both curiosity and conflict resolution, and to challenge the roles tradition, family, and friends play throughout the coming-of-age experience. The supplemental questions and activities included at the back of the book are designed to spark creativity and foster imagination, while also encouraging children and their caregivers to connect in more meaningful ways.

Who Is Sergei?Born beneath the Kremlin and rumoured to be Vladimir Putin’s nephew, Sergei Putinski is a man who has seen things you would not believe — mostly because they happened in 1987 and are no longer relevant.With an unwavering devotion to 80s American sitcoms and a firm conviction that the mobile phone peaked with the brick, Sergei navigates the bewildering modern world from behind the wheel of a beat-up Maserati, barking into a giant white cell phone."What started as a throwaway side character has taken on a life of its own. Kind of wild when the side character is bigger than you."With over 200 million views online, appearances on Your Mom’s House with Tom Segura, and a personal shout-out on Bill Burr’s Instagram, Sergei Putinski has become a global cult favourite — even among people who cannot locate Russia on a map.He is Russia’s only living comedian. Draw your own conclusions.

Elliot SawyerLoyalty Strategist: Helping High Capacity Organizations Experiencing Low Buy-In, Become Businesses People Love to Work For and Buy FromI help businesses grow by building loyalty across leadership, teams, and customers. While this applies across industries, I’ve seen some of the strongest results in low-trust environments where skepticism is high and growth is hardest to unlock. That’s where loyalty becomes a true competitive advantage.In those settings, most companies rely on tactics rooted in self-interest, which leads to disengaged teams, guarded customers, and stalled growth. I help leaders replace that with a honor-based approach that increases connection, strengthens relationships, and drives demand.Part of what shaped this work comes from my own experience. Earlier in my life and career, I struggled with performance anxiety, which forced me to confront how much of my focus was on myself… how I was performing and how I was being perceived. When that shifted, everything changed. I began to see that the same self-focus shows up in business and quietly erodes trust.Since then, I’ve delivered over 1,500 talks and spent over 10,000 hours guiding professionals across a wide range of industries, shaping how they lead, build relationships, and show up in their work. My work shows that even in the most skeptical environments, loyalty can be rebuilt and become a multiplier for growth.What I bring to podcasts is a clear, bridging the gap between mindset and measurable business outcomes. I bring practical frameworks, real-world application, and a clear message: in low-trust environments, people skills aren't soft skills… they are the competitive advantage.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Nights at Chicago’s legendary Kinetic Playground, cross-country trips to wild pop festivals, and encounters with unforgettable characters turned 1968 into a year of freedom, risk, and discovery.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

George LittleI design, build, and tinker. Always for fun, sometimes for money.I'm George, a designer, tech entrepreneur, and outdoor enthusiast! I have an equal love for tinkering with AI as I do hiking with my dogs.Here's a little backstory on who I am and what makes me tick...Originally from the Philly area, I studied architecture at Syracuse and thinking I was going to be a black turtleneck wearing new york architect, moved to Brooklyn to work for one of the big name firms.After a few years, I realized this wasn't for me. It dawned on me that the part of my job I liked the most I was doing the least of: graphic design & technology. I found I was much better at pitching building designs, marketing the company's brand, and tinkering with technology to improve our efficiencies and workflows.So I pivoted my career to "graphic design" which lead me to an AI company where I learned about startups, remote-work, SaaS marketing, and building a business that serves the tech community. Years later, I now run my own remote-only consultancy that aims to work with startups and venture-backed companies to build/improve their brands and websites.I spend my workdays balanced between client work, marketing my own business, and tinkering on projects I find interesting... like VetResumes.com, Archive51.art, Stacked.camp, to name a few. More recently I've been trying to slash my AI company subscriptions by building my own system on the back of a bunch of used mac minis.Outside of work, I'm a big nature lover. I've hiked, camped, kayaked, trailered, overlanded, and backpacked all over this country (and a splash of Canada). My wife and I recently moved our family to Oregon to purse a long-time dream of running a PNW flower farm (which i will, of course, find a reason to apply technology).See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Kelly GagalisOnline Dating Safety Expert and Dating CoachI have been a dating coach for over 15 years. A few years ago I realised that my clients don't have the same horror stories as other people I talk to do because I bake safety into their dating training. A year ago in the same 24 hour period I heard from two friends that their children had just experienced horrific sexual assault... gang rape on a young gay man naively picking up someone for a 1st date on tinder and the rape of my friend's daughter hosting a dinner on a second date while my friend was in the house. In both of these instances when I heard the circumstances I KNEW that these horrible assaults could have been prevented if these young people had only had the skills and tools I teach to date safely online.From there I created Swipe Safely, the first course aimed at increasing internet dating safety. It is now my mission to make people safer dating online, shifting them from prey behavior to confident deterrance.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Mark AstorAttorney Saving Families at the Intersection of Law, Mental Health & AddictionI didn’t set out to build a law firm. I set out to save families.Early in my career, I was a prosecutor inside the criminal justice system. I saw firsthand what happens when addiction and untreated mental illness collide with law enforcement: people don’t get better — they get processed, warehoused, and traumatized. Families are left powerless, confused, and grieving someone who is still alive.Years later, after leaving government service, I found myself sitting across from parents, spouses, and siblings who all said the same thing:“We don’t know what to do anymore.”Their loved one wasn’t asking for help. Treatment had failed. The system had failed. And “waiting” felt like a death sentence.So I co-founded a law firm with a singular mission: to give families lawful, compassionate tools to intervene when a loved one’s mind has been hijacked by addiction or severe mental illness.Since then, I’ve helped thousands of families navigate crises involving substance use, psychiatric instability, medical complexity, and resistance to care — using legal frameworks most people don’t even know exist. I’ve watched families move from chaos and despair to clarity and action. And I’ve seen lives saved not by handcuffs or hope alone, but by informed intervention.What makes my voice different is this:I live at the intersection of law, mental health, addiction, and family dynamics — and I’m not speaking in theory. I’m speaking from the trenches.On podcasts, I don’t offer platitudes. I explain:Why “waiting until they’re ready” can be deadlyWhy the system often reacts after irreversible harmWhy families are not “controlling” — they are responding to cognitive impairmentAnd why legal intervention, when done correctly, can be an act of love, not punishmentHosts book me because I bring clarity to uncomfortable conversations, challenge popular myths around addiction and recovery, and give audiences something rare: a framework for action when compassion alone isn’t enough.If your show tackles mental health, addiction, family trauma, personal growth, leadership, or hard truths — I won’t just fill time.I’ll give your audience something they’ll remember, wrestle with, and share.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Candi KeffelerAuthor of Never Too Far Gone | Helping Women Rise from Survival to Hope’m Candi Keffeler, author of Never Too Far Gone, and I share my story to help women who are exhausted from surviving remember that they’re not broken — they’re becoming.I’ve lived through abuse, medical trauma, overwhelming debt, and starting over from rock bottom. For years I looked strong on the outside while quietly falling apart inside. Writing Never Too Far Gone was part of my healing — and now I use my story to help other women, especially in midlife, find hope, resilience, and the courage to begin again.On your podcast, I love having real, honest conversations about survival burnout, rebuilding after trauma, and what it actually looks like to start over when life doesn’t go as planned. My heart is for women who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or “too far gone,” and I help them see that their next chapter is still possible.Listeners walk away feeling seen, understood, and encouraged with practical hope they can carry into their own healing journey.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tom AndersonTom Anderson — Author, God-pursuer, collector of friends. Helping people rediscover who they are through grace, belonging, and a relational view of God.I’m Tom Anderson, author of "From Sinnership to Sonship: The Story of Becoming", and my message was born out of a long, imperfect, grace-filled journey of marriage, fear, healing, and discovering who we truly are in God.My wife Nancy and I married young — and we were a mess. I was afraid of life. I lived inside a very small comfort zone, and when my world felt threatened, I would literally curl into the fetal position. Nancy struggled with clinical depression and felt trapped in a marriage that wasn’t giving either of us the life we hoped for.Early in our marriage, we committed ourselves to Jesus because we knew what we were doing wasn’t working. For eight years, we hung on by our fingernails, trying to survive while quietly wondering if real change was even possible.Then one day, as we prayed together, a Scripture from Isaiah came forcefully to us:“Consider not the former things… Behold, I am doing a new thing.”We sensed God was not just offering comfort — He was making a promise. And over the decades, we have watched Him faithfully “perform that word” in our lives.Like Abraham, our journey has been a slow process, going through predictable stages, from brokenness to wholeness, from striving to belonging, from not being enough to being sufficient. What started as a survival mentality gradually became growing relationship. What started as religion gradually became sonship, and we rest in the place of "It is finished."More than fifty years later, Nancy and I are still married, still growing, and — even in this past year — have entered a deeper level of relational ease and shared pursuit of what God has called us to: ministering the grace of God. We’re the grateful parents of a son and daughter, with spouses, who are walking with the Lord, and grandparents to six grandchildren.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Shermain MeltonAccomplished, Black, Gay, Christian, and Done Hiding. Author of The Loneliness of the Accomplished Black Man.Shermain Melton is a truth teller. He is also Black, accomplished, gay, and Christian. For a long time, he thought God had played a trick on him by giving him a big heart to love people while subjecting him to rejection from the church for living his truth of being gay. He has lost friends and business for owning who he is. Shermain rose from a childhood of poverty, gunshots, and drug dealers to become a self-made and debt-free millionaire. He carries survivor guilt because not all his friends made it out alive. At age twenty, he became the general manager of an underperforming Pizza Hut and led his team of forty to generate over one million dollars in revenue. While his peers were learning business theory, he was running a real business. He eventually walked away from a lucrative technology career as a senior network engineer at American Express. He spent years optimizing broken networks but realized the most critical network that needed fixing was the connection between leaders and their authentic selves. We are currently battling a loneliness epidemic that is killing accomplished Black men in silence. Shermain is on a mission to end this isolation by demanding deep connection, unapologetic belonging, and raw courage. He is the author of The Loneliness of the Accomplished Black Man and he is here to challenge you to stop playing small. Please welcome Shermain Melton.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Alexia HoffmanSuccess you can live with! 60 hours/week to 10 hours with 4 kids in 2.5 years while maintaining income and starting new businesses! Hire & onboard a VA in less than 10 hoursAlexia Hoffman had four daughters in 30 months, a rental portfolio of over 80 doors, a coffee shop, and a real estate business she’d built from the ground up since she was 19 years old.And she was doing almost all of it herself.At her peak she was working 60-hour weeks — not because she didn’t know better, but because she hadn’t yet built the system to get out. She was the bottleneck in her own business, and she knew it.So she built a framework. A repeatable, no-fluff process to hire and fully onboard a VA in under 10 hours — and she used it to get her weeks down to 10 hours without losing income, clients, or control.Eight months after having her fourth baby, she ran her first half marathon. Nine months postpartum, she completed her first triathlon. That’s what the time back actually meant.Alexia is a TEDx speaker, 2024 Entrepreneur of the Year, and the creator of the Delegation Clarity Framework. She’s not teaching theory — she’s teaching exactly what she did, in the season of life your listeners are probably in right now.If your audience is full of high-achieving women who are building something real but running out of runway to do it alone, Alexia is the guest that moves them from stuck to actually doing it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

He understands how strategy translates into execution, and where misalignment quietly builds long before problems become visible.On podcasts, Cristian helps audiences think differently about complex, high-stakes initiatives, showing how early decisions shape long-term outcomes, how governance can either reduce or reinforce risk, and how leaders can create clarity in under pressure.Listeners walk away with a grounded, practical insight they can apply immediately to strengthen decision-making and execution in their own organizations.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Noelle CablayA deeply honest, literary memoir about facing a rare cancer and making meaning when life breaks open.I’m an author, musician, and university professor who wrote Washed in Blue after facing a rare cancer diagnosis.

Christopher BauerLegacy Teacher - Changemaker - Old Soul. Helping Entrepreneurial men raise conscious families, create impact in their local community & build a legacy which outlasts them.I grew up in Victoria BC and spent most of my life on Vancouver Island. Graduating in 2008 and then spending 5 years going to post-secondary school... I have a Drafting Certificate, a Diploma in Social Sciences, A Diploma in Collision/Refinishing and an Associates Degree in Applied Service Management. Built my first business in 2014/2015 - Reborn Relics - my classic car restoration shop. I learnt the hard way due to getting mentorship in 2017... that I hired a bad employee. That ended up creating more problem and challenges beyond the financial losses. In 2017 I started my first online business venture along side the restoration shop - a digital home design business. I spent that year and 2018 promoting it which did not go the best, even with talking to local entrepreneur groups. After investing 5k into the business I only made $500 and due to wanting to expand the market - I tried doing a preliminary design of a multifamily building which got me in trouble with the old boys club (AIBC). That along with the lack of smaller homes design sales pushed me to fold the business in 2019 out of frustration and trying to get a slice of an oversaturated market. Over 2020-2021 I pivoted and built out a online training business, after going thru Knowledge Broker Blueprint from Tony Robbins and Dean G. It is now known as Mastermind.com. In the summer of 2024 I got a co-author book deal thru linkedin - Cracking the Rich Code Vol 15, which went international best seller in Dec of the same year. Leaving Legacy Live is my primary business focus and it is an 8 session/ 22 hour live training for entrepreneurial men on how to raise conscious families, create local impact and leave a legacy which outlasts them.Beyond my business experience, I have more hobbies and interests than most people. In no particular order....- I got into Archery in my teens and then got back into it again my 30's, getting a traditional horse bow (50lb & 60lb draw weights) and a compound bow. - Planning on having a large library in my next home - I am collecting books when possible to fill it, so I have a large book collection of mostly non-fictional work (business, self help, reference material...)- Being someone into cars, I have a large classic car collection which I am in the process or restoring (14 total). With my knowledge and experience I am also rebuilding insurance write offs to get into newer sports cars for less than retail. - I have experience growing Orchids for 17 years and have a collection of around 200 of them. - In the process of tooling up for bladesmithing as I see that as a form of functional art.- Since 2020 I have gotten into having Chickens on my acreage. - Even though I did not become an Architect, I am still very interested in old world building design along with making modern homes more energy efficient to save in annual costs.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Michael Proctor Founder and President of StewardRightMy name is Michael Proctor, founder of StewardRight. I built my RIA from the ground up alongside a team committed to excellence and deep responsibility.My work is supported by credentials as a CFP®, RICP®, and CVGA, but my perspective has been shaped by something more personal: wealth is rarely simple. It is emotional, relational, and often messy.Stewardship Is a CallingFor me, stewardship is not a marketing slogan or a branding exercise. It is a calling and a heavy responsibility.My Christian worldview teaches that every dollar is a resource entrusted to us, meant to be managed with wisdom. That responsibility extends beyond portfolios and into the home, where money often becomes a source of friction rather than a tool for unity.The Industry Has Trained People to Expect Too LittleThe financial industry has conditioned clients to settle for far too little. Many firms charge high fees while delivering average, index like outcomes that most investors could achieve on their own. I believe that if a client can do it alone, we should be honest enough to say so. If you are paying for professional management, you should receive professional value.The Friendship Tax and Emotional ShortcutsI often hear people defend an underperforming advisor because they are a longtime friend. They say, “It’s not about the rate of return.” To me, saying investing is not about return is like saying going out to eat is not about flavor. Personally, I could open a dog food restaurant and charge twenty dollars a plate if the market was there, but I would not call it fine dining. Too often, we undermine our financial health with emotional shortcuts just to avoid social awkwardness.Who I ServeI serve disciplined savers, people who have already done the hard work of building a foundation. Now they are ready for high end stewardship and a clearer path toward building lasting family wealth. Much of my work involves bridging the gap between spouses. It is difficult to talk about money when you cannot see your spouse on the other side of the coin. Because couples are wired differently, financial planning often becomes a series of relational missteps.A Student of PeopleI am a student of human wiring, communication, gifting, and the way people are built. My goal is to help individuals and families operate in alignment with how they were designed, and to have direct conversations about the weight of stewardship and the shortcuts that compromise the future.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

John CobbI help business leaders avoid the twin failures of weak governance and weak messaging.Podcast audiences want guests who can connect expertise to real-world impact. My work has always been about helping leaders see clearly in the moments when it matters most.I advise boards, entrepreneurs, and investors through Pholus Advisory, where the focus is on complex markets and high-pressure transitions. Much of my work begins at inflection points: a business preparing for exit, a board under reputational pressure, or an organization where governance and revenue are collapsing at the same time. These are situations where conventional playbooks break down, and leaders need clarity to protect both trust and growth.People hear words like governance, post-conflict economies, or go-to-market strategy and want to yawn. They sound abstract, but in reality they are some of the most important and interesting challenges leaders face today. That is why I enjoy turning jargon into stories people actually remember. My philosophy is simple: if the audience cannot use it on Monday morning, I have failed them. I do not believe in abstract frameworks. I share the mess, the mistakes, and the plain-spoken lessons that leaders actually carry forward when they face their own problems.What does that mean for a podcast audience? It means I bring case-based insights, not theories. I can share what actually happens when governance fails, why crises escalate, and how leaders can avoid turning small risks into existential threats. I have advised across the Americas, Africa, and Europe, and those cross-border experiences help me show listeners how fragile environments operate and what that means for their own decision-making.Beyond governance, I also have a background in direct response marketing and messaging strategy, which gives me a rare perspective: I understand both the discipline required to build internal trust and the storytelling needed to build external credibility. That combination allows me to offer listeners lessons that apply whether they are board members, business owners, entrepreneurs, or NGO leaders.Hosts who book me get a guest who is serious about preparation and generous with stories and takeaways. Audiences walk away with memorable frameworks and practical insights they can apply immediately; whether that is preparing for a business exit, building investor confidence, or simply learning how to lead under pressure.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Rashmir BalasubramaniamI help leaders & change makers move from extractive performance to regenerative impactI work with leaders and changemakers who are sensing that the way they've been operating and the systems they're part of no longer quite work, but the next way hasn't fully formed yet.My work focuses on helping leaders move from extractive performance to regenerative impact — translating inner shifts in clarity, integrity and awareness into how they lead, decide and shape systems in the real world.After three decades inside and advising or coaching in influential institutions (including the Gates Foundation, the NHS, Nesta, the World Bank) as well as smaller nonprofits and startups, I've seen firsthand how today's leadership models were brilliant for getting us here and why they increasingly fall short of what's needed now. Even deeply values-led leaders can find themselves exhausted, fragmented, and working harder for diminishing returns.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Mike Leblanc Harvard | Marine | Sequoia FounderMike LeBlanc brings a distinct perspective shaped by experience in environments where decisions carry real consequences.

His work sits at the intersection of leadership, technology, national security, and organizational design.Podcast conversations with Mike tend to go beyond surface-level business stories. He speaks candidly about leading under pressure, building teams from nontraditional backgrounds, translating military experience into civilian organizations, and what it actually takes to deploy technology in high-stakes environments. He also draws on experience building venture-backed companies at the intersection of AI and robotics—from early hiring and product decisions to scaling and fundraising across all stages.
