Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with 25-year Broadway veteran and founder of Open the Aperture Teri Pruitt.Most people think Broadway is all about the stars. Teri Pruitt knows the real magic happens because hundreds of people work together behind the curtain — communicating, collaborating, trusting one another, solving problems, and showing up every night ready to perform.After more than 30 years as a professional theatre artist, including over 25 years on Broadway, Teri has experienced firsthand how the theatrical process creates one of history's most fascinating living laboratories for teamwork, leadership, communication, collaboration, and trust.That experience became the foundation for Open the Aperture, where Teri brings the lessons of theater into the business world through keynotes, workshops, consulting, and conversations designed to help organizations see their people, teams, and possibilities differently.Her roots are in Overland Park, Kansas, but her remarkable professional story took hold in New York City and on Broadway. In this wide-ranging conversation, we cover the entire ride — from her Kansas City-area beginnings to more than two decades of Broadway experience and the evolution of that experience into a new mission helping leaders and organizations.What can Broadway teach us about leadership? What does it take to build trust within a team? How do hundreds of people with different roles and responsibilities work together toward one shared outcome?Teri Pruitt has spent decades living those answers.This is a fascinating conversation about Broadway, theater, leadership, teamwork, communication, trust, collaboration, creativity, career transformation, and the power of seeing the bigger picture.Dig into the story behind the curtain with Teri Pruitt.More Teri Pruitt / Open the Aperture:Teri Pruitt For More Famous Interviews: Subscribe via Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgi6GpDDDrc_PgOzaERGbLQ Subscribe via iTunes/Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/famous-interviews-with-joe-dimino/id1660256991Subscribe via Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7j92QDS13LXgajPt80X2dhThe Home of Famous Interviews: http://famousinterviewswithjoedimino.blogspot.com/Contribute to Famous Interviews via PayPal:                    https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_b Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with attorney, keynote speaker, and creator of the Regret to Resilience Method Stephanie Renner.Drawing on nearly 25 years of advising CEOs and organizations, Stephanie helps people confront the regret that can quietly hold them back — and transform it into resilience, clarity, purpose, and forward movement.Her work became deeply personal after she lost her son, Jordan, to suicide. Living through profound grief, guilt, and regret forced Stephanie to find a way through the pain rather than around it. Along that journey, she developed the Regret to Resilience Method, a seven-pillar framework designed to help people release the endless “if onlys,” separate their self-worth from outcomes they could never control, and move forward without abandoning the people and experiences they loved.Stephanie has also seen how unresolved regret can affect far more than our personal lives. It can show up in leadership, teams, workplace performance, decision-making, relationships, and the lives of people who appear to have everything together on the outside while carrying an invisible weight within.From her base in Louisville, Kentucky, Stephanie shares a deeply moving story about loss, leadership, grief, resilience, regret, healing, and discovering renewed purpose.This is an honest conversation about what we carry, what we cannot change, and how we can learn to move forward while honoring what mattered most.Dig into this powerful interview with Stephanie Renner.More Stephanie Renner:Stephanie Renner SpeaksFor More Famous Interviews: Subscribe via Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgi6GpDDDrc_PgOzaERGbLQ Subscribe via iTunes/Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/famous-interviews-with-joe-dimino/id1660256991Subscribe via Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7j92QDS13LXgajPt80X2dhThe Home of Famous Interviews: http://famousinterviewswithjoedimino.blogspot.com/Contribute to Famous Interviews via PayPal:                    https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_b Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Welcome to a special new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we take a moment to remember and honor the 25th Anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks in America.At the time, I was 28 years old and backpacking through Italy and France when I learned about the attacks in the back of a water taxi in Venice, Italy. What followed was an unexpected and unforgettable journey as I tried to make my way back home to America in the aftermath of 9/11.This is the full story in my own words—the moment I learned what had happened, the experience of being an American overseas during one of the defining moments in modern history, and the long journey home.In 2002, I also wrote an essay about the experience that was published in the anthology United Against Terrorism: An Anthology for Peace, with proceeds benefiting the 9/11 fund.Twenty-five years later, I wanted to tell the story again and remember what that moment felt like from thousands of miles away.This is a personal story about September 11, 2001, America, travel, uncertainty, coming home, memory and the experiences that stay with us forever.Here’s the full story—in my words.Get the book: United Against Terrorism: An Anthology for Peace on AmazonAll things Joe Dimino writing: Joe Dimino WritingFor More Famous Interviews: Subscribe via Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgi6GpDDDrc_PgOzaERGbLQ Subscribe via iTunes/Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/famous-interviews-with-joe-dimino/id1660256991Subscribe via Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7j92QDS13LXgajPt80X2dhThe Home of Famous Interviews: http://famousinterviewswithjoedimino.blogspot.com/Contribute to Famous Interviews via PayPal:                    https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_b Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Founder, Leadership Advisor & Business Success Expert Drew Sloss.Drew scaled a high-7-figure business across five locations and 250 employees before discovering that the hardest part of growth isn't always strategy — it's signal.As organizations grow, communication gets harder. More people, more locations and more moving parts can make it increasingly difficult for leaders to hear what actually matters. Smart people can begin pulling in different directions, not because they don't care, but because they aren't seeing the same terrain.Drew experienced this challenge firsthand and built a framework to solve it for himself. Today, he helps other high-stakes leaders and growing organizations create clarity, alignment and better business outcomes.From his base in Nashville, we dig into his fascinating entrepreneurial journey, scaling a business, leadership, organizational alignment, communication, decision-making, business growth and the framework he developed from experience.It's quite a business story.More Drew Sloss: https://www.drewsloss.com/For More Famous Interviews: Subscribe via Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgi6GpDDDrc_PgOzaERGbLQ Subscribe via iTunes/Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/famous-interviews-with-joe-dimino/id1660256991Subscribe via Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7j92QDS13LXgajPt80X2dhThe Home of Famous Interviews: http://famousinterviewswithjoedimino.blogspot.com/Contribute to Famous Interviews via PayPal:                    https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_b Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with College Professor, Former Program Director & Debut Memoirist Georgine Hodgkinson about her fascinating new book, Crypto Island: A Memoir of Midlife Relocation to Puerto Rico.What happens when a risk-averse academic leaves California during the pandemic and relocates to Puerto Rico, only to find herself immersed in one of the world's most controversial cryptocurrency communities?What begins as a front-row seat to Puerto Rico's crypto boom becomes something much more personal.In Crypto Island, Georgine explores how experiences with childhood poverty, addiction, fear, insecurity, money, privilege, identity, and belonging can continue shaping us long after we've achieved stability and success.Her unexpected journey places her inside a culture built around cryptocurrency, speculation, disruption, entrepreneurship, and radical risk-taking — a fascinating contrast to her own cautious academic background.Along the way, Georgine is forced to reconsider what it means to start over, what we carry with us from childhood, and how relocation can challenge our assumptions about success, identity, community, wealth, and personal transformation.In this conversation, we get into Crypto Island, Puerto Rico, cryptocurrency culture, midlife relocation, memoir writing, childhood poverty, addiction, privilege, identity, belonging, risk-taking, personal reinvention, and the unexpected ways life can change when we step outside our comfort zone.It's a great story about moving somewhere completely unexpected — and discovering that the biggest journey may actually be the one happening inside you.More Georgine HodgkinsonGeorgine Hodgkinson — Official Website For More Famous Interviews: Subscribe via Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgi6GpDDDrc_PgOzaERGbLQ Subscribe via iTunes/Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/famous-interviews-with-joe-dimino/id1660256991Subscribe via Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7j92QDS13LXgajPt80X2dhThe Home of Famous Interviews: http://famousinterviewswithjoedimino.blogspot.com/Contribute to Famous Interviews via PayPal:                    https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_b Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Veteran ABC/CNN Journalist and Author Carol Lin, best known as the first national anchor to report the September 11, 2001 attacks.Carol's extraordinary journalism career has taken her to some of the most consequential stories of our time, including the Kosovo War, the fall of the Taliban, the war in Iraq, the LA Riots, and investigative reporting on human trafficking.Her work has earned some of journalism's highest honors, including the Emmy Award, Peabody Award, and Alfred I. duPont Award.But Carol's new memoir, When News Breaks, goes far beyond the headlines.For Carol, breaking news and that defining split second when lives change became both an obsession and a calling—a love affair her traditional Chinese mother warned would never love her back. Then devastating news enters her own life, forcing Carol to confront questions that couldn't be answered from behind a news desk.She writes candidly about journalism, 9/11, ambition, marriage, infidelity, cancer, motherhood, sacrifice, identity, family, and the price of a career that demands everything.When News Breaks is ultimately the story of a woman who has witnessed history firsthand but still has to discover who she is when the cameras stop rolling and the headlines disappear.In this powerful conversation, we explore Carol's career, the experience of covering history as it happens, the responsibility of journalists during breaking news, her journey through personal adversity, and the path toward becoming the mother and person she wanted to be.From her base in Hawaii, Carol Lin shares an incredible life filled with integrity, grit, courage, truth, journalism, and humanity.More Carol LinCarol Lin — Official WebsiteFor More Famous Interviews: Subscribe via Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgi6GpDDDrc_PgOzaERGbLQ Subscribe via iTunes/Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/famous-interviews-with-joe-dimino/id1660256991Subscribe via Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7j92QDS13LXgajPt80X2dhThe Home of Famous Interviews: http://famousinterviewswithjoedimino.blogspot.com/Contribute to Famous Interviews via PayPal:                    https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_b Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Author, Entrepreneur, TEDx Speaker, CPA & Consultant Todd A. Krause about finance, entrepreneurship, leadership, company culture, business growth, and what it really takes to transform a struggling business.Todd spent two decades in institutional finance, where he built a $2 billion fund administration firm from scratch and helped launch a $14 billion Bank of America business unit. But in 2020, he took a dramatically different path—buying a struggling cleaning company and putting his leadership philosophy to the ultimate test.The company grew from $1.6 million to $4 million in revenue in just two years. But Todd didn't accomplish that by simply cutting costs or squeezing more productivity out of his employees. Instead, he focused on something he believes is frequently overlooked in business: treating people with dignity.Today, Todd is the founder of Silversun Consulting, where he helps home-service business owners identify and eliminate the operational friction, leadership challenges, and burned-out workplace cultures that can keep otherwise successful companies stuck.In this conversation, we explore business leadership, entrepreneurship, company culture, employee engagement, operational efficiency, scaling a business, burnout, home-service companies, finance, and the transition from corporate America to business ownership.From institutional finance to owning a cleaning company—and ultimately helping other entrepreneurs build healthier, more effective organizations—Todd's journey is a fascinating lesson in people-first leadership and sustainable growth.From building billion-dollar financial businesses to transforming a struggling cleaning company, Todd A. Krause has a powerful story about what happens when business growth and human dignity become part of the same strategy. From his base in Indianapolis, we get into quite a story.

On this episode, we talk with Adam Frank, Founder & CEO of Hypsee, about the rapidly changing world of spiritual wellness, online creators, technology, digital entrepreneurship, and the creator economy.Hypsee is a platform designed to help psychic, spiritual, and wellness creators turn their audiences into paid, on-demand communities through instant calls, chat, recorded guidance, and livestream services.Before building Hypsee, Adam spent years working at the intersection of creators, technology, digital platforms, and online monetization. Today, he is focused on a major shift taking place across the spiritual and wellness industries: people increasingly want immediate, flexible access to the creators and practitioners they follow, while those creators need better ways to generate sustainable income beyond scheduled appointments, social media algorithms, and disconnected administrative tools.In this conversation, we explore the creator economy, spiritual entrepreneurship, psychic services, wellness businesses, online monetization, digital communities, instant access, livestreaming, technology, customer engagement, and the future of online spiritual and wellness services.From his base in Israel, Adam shares the story behind Hypsee, what he has learned from working with creators, and why the next generation of online businesses may be built around access rather than appointments. It’s a fascinating look at where technology, entrepreneurship, spirituality, wellness, and the creator economy are heading next. From Israel to the world, we get into a great story.

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Chicago-based writer and storyteller Rebecca Chamian Ribaudo about her debut novel, Crossing Division Street, coming September 26, 2026, along with her life, career, creative inspiration, and the stories that shaped her as a writer.At the heart of Crossing Division Street is a powerful question: What happens when personal principles collide with family heritage?Spanning four generations and two timelines, the novel explores loyalty, betrayal, redemption, inheritance, identity, family, and the complicated ways history continues to shape the present.But beneath the fictional story is a largely overlooked chapter of Chicago history—the intertwined experiences of Italian immigrants, Black American migrants, and the generations that followed in a changing mixed-race neighborhood once known as Little Sicily, Little Hell, and later Cabrini-Green.Rebecca brings those worlds together through a story designed to make readers think about race, identity, heritage, immigration, assimilation, family loyalty, cultural memory, and what it means to inherit both the strengths and contradictions of previous generations.While fiction has always been a passion, Rebecca's professional career has centered on brand development, storytelling, communications, and writing for organizations ranging from Fortune 500 companies to nonprofits.She has also remained active in organizations and initiatives supporting freedom of expression, civil liberties, intellectual freedom, women's freedoms around the world, and the Harvard alumni community.In this conversation, we explore the inspiration behind Crossing Division Street, Chicago's layered history, Italian-American identity, Black migration, family heritage, generational conflict, storytelling, writing a debut novel, and the complicated American story that emerges when different communities live, struggle, grow, and change side by side. Crossing Division Street ultimately asks readers to wrestle with one of America's oldest—and still deeply relevant—questions: How do we honor where we came from while deciding who we want to become?It's a fascinating story about family, Chicago, immigration, race, heritage, identity, and the complicated inheritance of American history.Enjoy this story and interview.More Rebecca Chamian RibaudoRebecca Chamian Ribaudo on LinkedInCrossing Division Street on AmazonFor More Famous Interviews: Subscribe via Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgi6GpDDDrc_PgOzaERGbLQ Subscribe via iTunes/Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/famous-interviews-with-joe-dimino/id1660256991Subscribe via Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7j92QDS13LXgajPt80X2dhThe Home of Famous Interviews: http://famousinterviewswithjoedimino.blogspot.com/Contribute to Famous Interviews via PayPal:                    https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_b Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Mothers in Arms Podcast Host and Advocate for Accessible Third-Party Reproduction Leslie Lopez about infertility, donor conception, gestational surrogacy, solo motherhood, family building, identity, resilience, and creating community around experiences that can often feel incredibly isolating.Leslie spent six years working with California Fertility Partners before embarking on her own deeply personal journey to build a family as an independent mother through donor conception and gestational surrogacy.That experience became much more than a personal story. It helped shape her commitment to creating honest, compassionate conversations around infertility, third-party reproduction, egg donation, surrogacy, non-traditional family structures, and the emotional realities of becoming a parent outside of traditional pathways.Through her work and the Mothers in Arms podcast, Leslie is helping create space for people to talk openly about the complicated realities of fertility and family building—without shame, stigma, or the feeling that they have to navigate the journey alone.In this conversation, we explore the emotional dimensions of infertility, the mental and social challenges of fertility journeys, donor conception, gestational surrogacy, egg donation, solo parenting, non-traditional families, motherhood, identity, resilience, community, and making fertility options more accessible and less isolating.Leslie's story offers an important look at what happens when a deeply personal experience becomes a mission to help others feel seen, understood, supported, and less alone.This is a conversation about family, motherhood, resilience, reproductive choices, community, and the many different ways people create the families they dream of.She has quite a story that is creating a solid community at large.

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with seasoned entrepreneur, author, MIT engineer, speaker, and business leader Ted Yang about artificial intelligence, peak performance, leadership, entrepreneurship, learning, and the future of human potential.Ted is the author of Ageless Peak Performance: The Playbook for AI-Powered Excellence, a practical guide for experienced professionals, leaders, and ambitious strivers who want to use AI as cognitive leverage—not as a replacement for human thinking, but as a powerful tool for thinking better, learning faster, executing more effectively, and sustaining excellence over the long term.His background gives him a unique perspective on the rapidly changing AI landscape. An MIT engineer and entrepreneur, Ted is a former finance executive who has worked with firms including Bridgewater and Citadel, a worldwide speaker, and the founder of more than 12 companies and nonprofits. He also serves as a Regent for Higher Education in Connecticut.Rather than approaching AI purely from a technical perspective, Ted focuses on the human side of the equation: How do we use technology to amplify judgment, creativity, learning, decision-making, productivity, and performance?In this conversation, we explore AI and productivity, cognitive leverage, peak performance, leadership, entrepreneurship, lifelong learning, professional reinvention, human potential, artificial intelligence, business strategy, and how experienced professionals can remain effective and relevant in an increasingly AI-powered world.Ted's story is also a fascinating journey through engineering, finance, entrepreneurship, education, leadership, and the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence.How can experienced professionals use AI without losing the human judgment and experience that made them successful in the first place? And what happens when technology becomes a genuine partner in how we think, learn, and work?It’s quite a story.

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Positioning & Founder Strategist, Executive & Pitch Coach, Author & Podcaster Dr. Esther Zeledon about leadership, strategy, positioning, sustainable growth, purpose, and turning big ideas into measurable impact.Dr. Zeledon partners with governments, donors, executives, NGOs, communities, and individuals to help them transform vision into action and create meaningful, measurable results.At the center of her work is the idea of identifying pivotal “branch points”—those critical moments and opportunities when a different decision, strategy, or direction can dramatically change what comes next.With deep expertise in systems analysis, ESG-focused development, organizational strategy, and leadership, Dr. Zeledon helps leaders structure both short- and long-term goals through practical, tailored strategies.

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Ransom Kong, a former perpetrator turned deliberate matchmaking expert and facilitator whose life's work has centered on helping men understand what lies beneath anger, violence, pain, and emotional disconnection.For 27 years, Ransom has facilitated anger management and domestic violence groups involving court-mandated men—men who can be angry, defensive, in denial, and sometimes dangerous.But through decades of this work, he began seeing something underneath the anger:A man who is exhausted. A man who is hurting. A man who may still be capable of curiosity, connection, and love.Ransom understands this journey personally. As a former perpetrator who broke his own cycle, he transformed his experience into a mission focused on helping other men develop the emotional awareness and skills necessary to change their lives.That work has evolved into two platforms.Purpose Over Pain serves men who are still in the middle of their struggle, helping them confront anger, pain, emotional patterns, and the behaviors that can damage themselves and the people around them.His second platform, Tethered, is an intentional matchmaking community designed for people who have come through difficult experiences and are ready to build healthier, more meaningful relationships.At the heart of Ransom's philosophy is emotional fluency—learning to identify what is actually running the show underneath anger.In this powerful conversation, we explore anger, accountability, relationships, emotional intelligence, breaking destructive cycles, masculinity, love, personal transformation, and what it means to build a different future after confronting your past. Ransom's story is ultimately about what happens when someone refuses to let their worst moments define the rest of their life.It's a candid conversation about anger, violence, accountability, emotional awareness, relationships, love, and the possibility of genuine transformation.More Ransom KongPurpose Over PainFor More Famous Interviews: Subscribe via Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgi6GpDDDrc_PgOzaERGbLQ Subscribe via iTunes/Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/famous-interviews-with-joe-dimino/id1660256991Subscribe via Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7j92QDS13LXgajPt80X2dhThe Home of Famous Interviews: http://famousinterviewswithjoedimino.blogspot.com/Contribute to Famous Interviews via PayPal:                    https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_b Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Wilson, Heart Transplant Survivor, 20-Year-Sober Former Alcoholic, Relationship Author, Relationship Coach, and Founder of The Monument Method Institute.Gaylen's life has not been defined by one comeback.It has been defined by a series of forced reinventions.His journey has taken him through farm failure, a collapsed stockbroker career, alcoholism, sobriety, career disruption following 9/11, rebuilding his professional life as a computer repairman, and eventually becoming a successful field-service technician.Then came the biggest crisis of his life.In 2014, a virus attacked Gaylen's heart, leaving him in end-stage heart failure.For the next three and a half years, Gaylen and his wife, Heather, lived through hospital rooms, fear, financial pressure, uncertainty, lost intimacy, disability, and the terrifying reality that without a heart transplant, Gaylen was going to die.Then came June 19, 2018.Gaylen sat Heather down and told her he believed he had only a few months left.Approximately 30 minutes later, the transplant center called.The following morning, Gaylen received a new heart.What followed was not simply survival.

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Romance Author Camille Dunhill about her books, her day job, her passions, her creative journey, and the complicated, fascinating search for love.Camille's first book, Musings of a Romance Addict, began as a wild adventure that simply had to be written down. What may have started as a cautionary tale eventually evolved into something deeper—a story about romance, relationships, identity, desire, and the journey toward understanding oneself.Her second book, Chasing Romance: A Journey of Heart and Discovery, follows Stacey, a woman shaped by emotional deprivation, strict family dynamics, romantic longing, and repeated attempts to define herself through love and desire.Stacey is a true believer in romance—and she has spent much of her life searching for it.Through Camille's writing, that search becomes an exploration of the ways our relationships, experiences, expectations, and emotional histories shape who we become.In this conversation, we get into Camille's journey as an author, the inspiration behind her books, the realities of writing romance, the relationship between fiction and real life, and why the search for connection remains such a powerful human story.Camille Dunhill's work explores an enduring question: What happens when our search for love becomes part of our search for ourselves?It's a conversation about romance, relationships, identity, desire, storytelling, and the human need to connect.More Camille DunhillCamille Dunhill Official WebsiteFor More Famous Interviews: Subscribe via Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgi6GpDDDrc_PgOzaERGbLQ Subscribe via iTunes/Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/famous-interviews-with-joe-dimino/id1660256991Subscribe via Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7j92QDS13LXgajPt80X2dhThe Home of Famous Interviews: http://famousinterviewswithjoedimino.blogspot.com/Contribute to Famous Interviews via PayPal:                    https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_b Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On this episode, we talk with Danura Miriyagalla, Author and International Development & Management Specialist whose remarkable career has taken him across Asia, Africa, Australia, the Pacific, and the United States.His work sits at the intersection of research, creative practice, cross-cultural leadership, global experience, and personal transformation.Those years of moving between countries, cultures, careers, and communities profoundly shaped the way Danura thinks about belonging, direction, identity, and change.His book, The Navigator's Pivot, is a reflective guide for anyone navigating a major work-life transition.Drawing on ancient seafaring wisdom, philosophy, lived global experience, and modern leadership practice, Danura explores how we can move through periods of uncertainty with greater clarity, calm, awareness, and purpose.At the heart of the book is a powerful idea: every transition involves two movements—the Pivot and the Inflection.The Pivot is about changing direction.The Inflection is about understanding how that change reshapes the journey.Together, they offer a different way of thinking about career transitions, personal reinvention, leadership, uncertainty, and the moments when the path ahead suddenly looks very different.Danura's philosophy isn't about escaping life's storms.It's about learning how to steer through them with grace—and discovering that somewhere within us, the compass may already be pointing home.More Danura Miriyagalla & The Navigator's PivotGet *The Navigator's Pivot*Danura Miriyagalla on LinkedInFor More Famous Interviews: Subscribe via Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgi6GpDDDrc_PgOzaERGbLQ Subscribe via iTunes/Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/famous-interviews-with-joe-dimino/id1660256991Subscribe via Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7j92QDS13LXgajPt80X2dhThe Home of Famous Interviews: http://famousinterviewswithjoedimino.blogspot.com/               Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Janette Burke, Women's Leadership Speaker, Media Personality, and TV Podcast Host who has reached an incredible 15.2 million women across 15 seasons of her own television podcast.But behind the success is a deeply personal story about caregiving, capacity, identity, resilience, leadership, and reinvention.When Janette's mother's health changed, everything changed.She found herself rebuilding her entire business around a 20-hour maximum work week while quietly carrying the responsibilities and emotional weight of caregiving. She didn't walk away from her career or give up on her ambitions—but she had to become brutally honest about what she could actually carry.That experience transformed the way she thinks about success.Janette now speaks directly to women—particularly women over 40—who are holding families, careers, relationships, and other people together while simultaneously trying to figure out who they are becoming themselves. Her message is about recognizing limits without surrendering ambition, embracing change without losing identity, and finding the courage to tell the truth about what life actually requires.From her base in Toronto, Janette shares a story filled with truth, grit, vulnerability, resilience, and hope.More Janette Burke:Janette Burke Official WebsiteFor More Famous Interviews: Subscribe via Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgi6GpDDDrc_PgOzaERGbLQ Subscribe via iTunes/Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/famous-interviews-with-joe-dimino/id1660256991Subscribe via Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7j92QDS13LXgajPt80X2dhThe Home of Famous Interviews: http://famousinterviewswithjoedimino.blogspot.com/Contribute to Famous Interviews via PayPal:                    https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_b Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Bruce Babashan, Keynote Speaker, Leadership Reliability Expert, and seasoned coach—and the creator of Meet The Moment™.Bruce challenges a common assumption about leadership: that organizations succeed simply by developing exceptional leaders.His philosophy takes the conversation one step further.While leadership development is essential, Bruce argues that truly high-performing organizations also need to prepare for a fundamental reality: every leader is human.Leaders face pressure, uncertainty, mistakes, adversity, unexpected challenges, and moments when preparation meets reality. Bruce's work focuses on helping organizations and individuals become more reliable when those moments arrive.His career has given him an extraordinary perspective on leadership and performance. He served as a Practice President with one of the nation's largest retained executive search firms, advising and assessing senior leaders for major organizations including Paramount Studios, Jersey Films, and Wynn Resorts.But Bruce's experience doesn't stop in the corporate world.For more than three decades, he has also coached elite fighters, working with world champions, Olympians, and national teams. He spent years coaching high school football in one of Maryland's most successful programs as well.That combination—executive leadership, elite athletics, coaching, performance, pressure, and human behavior—provides the foundation for his unique approach to leadership reliability.This is a fascinating conversation about leadership, reliability, pressure, coaching, human performance, organizational culture, and what it really takes to perform when the moment arrives.Bruce brings together lessons from the boardroom, the football field, and elite combat sports to make a compelling case for preparing people not just to lead—but to meet the moment when leadership is truly tested.Official Website:https://brucebabashan.com/For More Famous Interviews: Subscribe via Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgi6GpDDDrc_PgOzaERGbLQ Subscribe via iTunes/Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/famous-interviews-with-joe-dimino/id1660256991Subscribe via Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7j92QDS13LXgajPt80X2dhThe Home of Famous Interviews: http://famousinterviewswithjoedimino.blogspot.com/Contribute to Famous Interviews via PayPal:                    https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_b Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
