This week on the Positive Leadership Podcast, I amjoined by Professor Durreen Shahnaz, a pioneering social entrepreneur, impact investor, and relentless advocate for women's empowerment. From growing up in a post-war Bangladesh to becoming the first Bangladeshi woman on Wall Street, Durreen's journey defies conventions. She left investment banking to join Grameen Bank, and went on to found Impact Investment Exchange (IIX)—home to the world's first social stock exchange and the groundbreaking Women's Livelihood Bond. In this powerful conversation, Durreen shares: How her upbringing shaped her belief in using finance for good What it means to be a defiant optimist in a system built for exclusion The bold vision behind IIX and the practical ways it's transforming lives across the Global South How young leaders can challenge the status quo and lead with purpose Durreen's work has shifted the paradigm of global finance—proving that profit and purpose can coexist, and that real change comes from the margins.

This episode of the Positive Leadership Podcast is truly special—for two reasons. First, Microsoft is celebrating its 50th anniversary, marking five decades of innovation, transformation, and leadership in the tech industry. Second, on a personal level, this milestone resonates deeply with me. Having spent 40 years at Microsoft, I have witnessed firsthand the incredible journey of this company, the people who shaped it, and the leadership lessons that continue to inspire me today. To mark the occasion, I am honored to welcome Steve Ballmer—a true legend, former CEO of Microsoft, and one of the most passionate, energetic leaders I've ever had the chance to work with. In this episode, Steve shares:  ✅ His first encounter with Bill Gates and the early days of Microsoft  ✅ The legendary IBM-MS-DOS deal that changed everything  ✅ What it was like leading one of the world's most influential companies  ✅ His transition to owning the LA Clippers and his vision for social impact in the U.S. Expect a conversation full of energy, laughter, and powerful insights on leadership, resilience, and the future of technology.

Curiosity is more than just asking questions—it's a mindset that can break barriers, foster empathy, and fuel innovation. In this episode of the Positive Leadership Podcast, I sit down with Scott Shigeoka, a leading expert on curiosity and the author of Seek: How Curiosity Can Transform Your Life and Change the World. Scott shares how deep curiosity can help us connect with others across differences, navigate uncertainty with resilience, and unlock new opportunities for growth—both in leadership and in life.

Summer is here… This is a time when the world slows down, offering us the perfect opportunity to relax and rejuvenate. But I truly believe it's also the ideal moment to reset our minds as well as our bodies. And both can be reached through one beautiful summer activity: laziness.

You know it, I know it, and many great minds have expressed the profound benefits of idleness. So here's a special summer episode full of references, advice, and testimonies from my previous guests to help you achieve your summer objective: dare to be lazy! Subscribe now to JP's free monthly newsletter "Positive Leadership and You" on LinkedIn to transform your positive impact today: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/positive-leadership-you-6970390170017669121/
