Podcast appearances and mentions of brian brault

In this episode of the Grownlearn Podcast, host Zorina Dimitrova talks with Brian Brault—a serial entrepreneur, Inc. 500 founder, and former Global Chair of the Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO)—about what really drives lasting business success: relationships and authentic leadership. From starting a hot dog stand at age 5 to scaling his company to double digit million and 300+ employees without a sales team, Brian shares real, raw stories of building businesses through trust, connection, and purpose. He dives into how vulnerability made him a better leader, why “Papa Days” with his grandchildren matter just as much as board meetings, and how relationship-driven leadership can transform your team—and your life. If you're an entrepreneur, founder, or business leader looking to scale with heart, this conversation will change how you grow.

In this episode, Pascal sits down with Brian Brault, a leadership development expert who runs programs at MIT with the Entrepreneurs Organization, to explore how leadership has fundamentally evolved in our rapidly changing world. Brian shares insights on the shift from traditional “smartest person in the room” leadership to emotionally intelligent, authentic leadership that prioritizes building teams and genuinely caring for people. The conversation delves into the fascinating duality modern leaders face: being vulnerable and empathetic with human teams while maintaining strict control and boundaries when managing AI agents and systems. Brian emphasizes the critical difference between “being vulnerable” and “leading with vulnerability,” explaining how authentic leaders can acknowledge uncertainty while still providing direction and commitment. The discussion covers the future of organizational structures, the continuing importance of middle management despite Silicon Valley trends, and practical advice for leaders navigating the “messy middle” of technological disruption. Brian concludes with actionable guidance for emerging and established leaders looking to adapt their leadership style, including the power of mentorship and leveraging personal strengths rather than focusing on weaknesses.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction and Leadership Evolution01:10 The Shift from IQ to EQ in Leadership04:00 Trust, Authenticity, and Stakeholder Balance05:50 The AI Leadership Paradox: Humans vs Machines09:17 Data Accuracy and Decision-Making in the AI Era11:35 Outdated vs Essential Leadership Skills12:22 Brian's Story: Learning to Lead Without All the Answers16:17 Creating Organizations of Leaders, Not Followers17:44 Leading Into the Unknown and Career Transitions21:48 Building Empowered Teams and Strategic Clarity22:15 The Future of Organizational Structure and Middle Management26:24 Defining Vulnerable vs Leading with Vulnerability28:57 Practical Advice for Adapting Leadership Style33:40 Where to Find Brian and Legacy of Significance↗ Brian's company: Legacy of Significance↗ Connect with Brian on LinkedIn

What does it mean to lead from the heart, and what happens when we admit we do not have all the answers? In this episode, I speak with Brian Brault, founder of Legacy of Significance and a globally respected leadership teacher and entrepreneur.  Brian has built and sold two companies and dedicates his time mentoring leaders worldwide. His work is rooted in humility, curiosity, and a deep belief in helping people discover the leadership potential that already exists within them. Our conversation moves beyond traditional leadership tropes. Brian shares what he learned about vulnerability when everything was on the line, how admitting he did not know the answer led his team to step up, and why that experience shaped how he leads today. He also discusses the difference between being friendly and kind and why effective leadership must be grounded in clarity, accountability, and care. We talk about relational authority, how real influence comes not from a title but from presence and trust, and why creating space for others to contribute is one of the most powerful tools a leader can use. Brian shares how his role as chair of the Entrepreneurs' Organization inspired a broader commitment to using entrepreneurship as a force for good worldwide. So here is my question for you. When was the last time you created space for someone else to lead? And what might happen in your team if you believed the answers were already in the room? Join the conversation and let us know your thoughts.

In today's podcast, we talk to Brian Brault, Transformational Leadership Trainer and Corporate Retreat Facilitator of Legacy Of Significance, a company he launched in 2018, based on living out his purpose of creating a positive impact in the lives of others. He tells us what he loves most about his new venture. “I love doing retreats just because it's the ability to be personal, intimate with people and help them kind of move forward on their own journey of self discovery…But also I love the executive education programming that we do,” he said. “When we love what we do, and we feel like we're adding value to the world, whether it's our family or our neighborhood or the globe, I think we show up differently in the relationships in our life.” The main topics of today's episode will be how getting fired from the company Brian started pushed him out of something he didn't really want to be in anyways, allowing him to do what he wanted for the rest of his life. We will also talk about how he prioritizes his family with “Papa days” and how he stresses the importance of listening to understand versus listening to fix or listening to reply.

Welcome to episode 118! "Throughout my tenure in EO, I have been fortunate enough to see innumerable examples of servant leadership, incredible personal growth, and the evolution of peers’ growing businesses. EO is second to none when it comes to creating amazing content and platforms to learn and grow. And while most entrepreneurs join EO with the singular goal of building more successful companies, many EO members remain well past achieving these goals because of their ability to help others to achieve the same, to positively impact the lives of others, to be significant—to “Make a Mark.” I challenge all EO members—and prospective members—to look for opportunities within this awesome organisation to create the business success you seek, but more importantly to create significance in your life, whether that’s travelling with your Forum to foster entrepreneurship at a grassroots level, or spending more time being a better father, mother, sibling or friend. We are our own greatest resource, and the community that’s formed within EO will change your life, if you take the opportunity to join and engage." - Brian Brault Maxum Corporation - Inspiring Greatness Show Notes: http://maxumcorp.com.au/podcasts/
