Jennifer Langton is the Senior Vice President of Health and Innovation, from the NFL, where she led all initiatives to improve player safety. Her work has played a major role in reducing concussions and transforming how the NFL approaches health, safety, and performance.But Jennifer's story starts long before. As a star lacross athlete at the University of Virginia, in her sophomore year, she faced a devastating one-two punch: she lost her mother to cancer and suffered a career-ending knee injury. Everything that had grounded her disappeared. The journey back from that shaped the empathetic, connection-driven leader she is today.In our conversation, Jennifer talks about how she brought those life lessons into her professional world—from her early career in finance, to launching innovation initiatives at the NFL during a time of intense public scrutiny over concussions.We dive into how she built support for bold ideas inside a tradition-heavy organization, the leadership philosophy that helped her succeed in a male-dominated industry, and the importance of aligning personal purpose with professional mission.Contact Dino at: dino@al4ep.comWebsites:al4ep.comjenniferlangtoninc.comAdditional Guest Links:LinkedIn:linkedin.com/in/jenniferlangtonInstagram: @jenny_langton Authentic Leadership For Everyday People / Dino CattaneoDino on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dinocattaneoPodcast Instagram – @al4edp Podcast Twitter – @al4edp Podcast Facebook: facebook.com/al4edpMusicSusan Cattaneo: susancattaneo.bandcamp.com
In this workshop, we will immerse ourselves in the patterns of self-sabotage and procrastination that often hold us back, especially when it feels like everything should be aligned, but we still can't seem to move forward. From childhood experiences to subconscious beliefs, these invisible patterns can sabotage our best efforts, and they're not flaws—they're protective mechanisms our nervous system has created to keep us "safe."I share how self-sabotage isn't about laziness or lack of discipline, but about safety. Our subconscious mind tries to protect us from potential threats, and sometimes, success feels dangerous. You'll hear how I've used EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) tapping and hypnotherapy to rewire these old patterns. I'll walk you through how to break free from self-sabotage and embody the version of you that feels safe to take aligned action, trust yourself, and finally thrive.In this episode, you'll learn: - Why self-sabotage is often a form of protection - How your nervous system plays a huge role in procrastination and overwhelm - The six trauma responses and how they impact your health, wealth, and relationships - How EFT tapping and subconscious rewiring can help you shift these patterns - Why slowing down and building safety within your body is essential to achieving your goalsReady to break free from self-sabotage and start taking aligned action?

Elitzur Bar-Asher Siegal is a professor, linguist, and leader based in Israel. In our conversation, we explored two extraordinary initiatives he is leading in response to the ongoing crisis in Israel and Gaza. The first is Humanitas, a coalition of all the humanities deans in Israel working together to reimagine the role of universities and the humanities in shaping engaged citizens. The second is Middle Meets, a grassroots initiative that brings together Israeli, Palestinian, and American students to engage in honest, often difficult conversations.We also discussed how Elitzur's lifelong study of ancient languages has shaped his thinking about leadership and humanity. He shared how, in studying civilizations long gone, he's come to understand both the commonality and fragility of human experience—and how that awareness fuels his commitment to dialogue, education, and healing.Contact Dino at: dino@al4ep.comWebsites:al4ep.comelitzurbarashersiegal.huji.ac.ilAdditional Guest Links:Middle Meets: innov-humanities.huji.ac.il/middle-meetsSupport Middle Meets: afhu.org/middle-meetsMiddle Meets Facebook: facebook.com/people/Middle-Meets/61562913084622Instagram: @middle_meetsAuthentic Leadership For Everyday People / Dino CattaneoDino on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dinocattaneoPodcast Instagram – @al4edp Podcast Twitter – @al4edp Podcast Facebook: facebook.com/al4edpMusicSusan Cattaneo: susancattaneo.bandcamp.com
“Breathing is a behavior—and it can be retrained. It's not hard, and it makes all the difference in how you feel, think, and show up.”In this soul-nourishing conversation, I had the absolute joy of talking with Polly Warren—a breathwork and wellness coach, podcast host, and former teacher—who shared her powerful journey from burnout in perimenopause to breath-led healing and deep personal empowerment.Polly opened up about how years of chronic stress, constant “doing,” and overriding her body's cues brought her to a breaking point in her early 40s. That pivotal moment became the beginning of something transformational—where she discovered the healing power of breathwork and began retraining her nervous system to feel calm, safe, and supported again
Greg Larkin is am entrepreneur, author, and founder of the executive community Punks & Pinstripes, a curated executive community that gathers people who, as he says, are trying to climb their second mountain. Greg's view of what defines success is a little different. And it is heavily shaped by his personal history. He found success very quickly, by being the first person to predict the 2008 subprime mortgage melt down. That early success skyrocketed him into high-profile roles — but also into a cycle of ego, addiction to recognition, and a sense of disconnection from his true self.In our conversation, Greg walks us through how he hit that breaking point and what came after — the tough reflection, the discomfort of leaving the prestige behind, and the journey toward doing work that truly aligned with who he is. We talked about the difference between surviving and thriving, about leadership that comes from experience versus theory, and about building authentic community in a world obsessed with status.Contact Dino at: dino@al4ep.comWebsites:al4ep.compunksandpinstripes.comAdditional Guest Links:Contact at: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/punks-pinstripesGreg LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/gregilarkinAuthentic Leadership For Everyday People / Dino CattaneoDino on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dinocattaneoPodcast Instagram – @al4edp Podcast Twitter – @al4edp Podcast Facebook: facebook.com/al4edpMusicHonest Mechanik: honestmechanik.bandcamp.com

She shared what helped her thrive in male-dominated environments, how she built resilience, and skills she developed through her unconventional path — starting as a regional analyst rather than a sector specialist — and how those skills helped her navigate high-stakes investment decisions in volatile markets.In the second half of our conversation, we explored her leadership work around ESG investing, and her current role as Co-Chair of Girls Are Investors — a UK-based nonprofit working to improve gender diversity in the investment industry by inspiring and supporting the next generation of women investors.Contact Dino at: dino@al4ep.comWebsites:al4ep.comGirls Are Investors: gainuk.orgAdditional Guest Links:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/natasha-braginsky-mounier-62525721/Authentic Leadership For Everyday People / Dino CattaneoDino on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dinocattaneoPodcast Instagram – @al4edp Podcast Twitter – @al4edp Podcast Facebook: facebook.com/al4edpMusicSusan Cattaneo: susancattaneo.bandcamp.com

Robyn Bolton is the founder and Chief Navigator of Mile Zero, an innovation consulting firm. Robyn's story is a perfect illustration of the core belief that is at the core of this podcast: if you go through the process of intentionally defining your true values and make decisions accordingly, you will not only be happier but find the right professional success.Robyn's career started on a very traditional path: Procter and Gamble, an MBA at Harvard, consulting at BCG, and a stint at Innosight, a prestigious innovation firm. But at some point, she found herself questioning whether what she was pursuing was what she really wanted.And when she started her own firm, she chose to avoid the traditional rules of having a growth plan. And that actually led to long lasting success, on her own terms.Contact Dino at: dino@al4ep.comWebsites:al4ep.commilezero.ioAdditional Guest Links:UnlockingInnovation.co linkedin.com/in/robynmboltonAuthentic Leadership For Everyday People / Dino CattaneoDino on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dinocattaneoPodcast Instagram – @al4edp Podcast Twitter – @al4edp Podcast Facebook: facebook.com/al4edpMusicSusan Cattaneo: susancattaneo.bandcamp.com

Send us a textThis interview is a long time coming. I am extremely grateful for Adam taking the time to come on to share his knowledge. I'm sure if time allotted, we could easily could've had a three hour conversation, and I promise we will do at least one more episode. In this talk, we discuss his decision to write a book about playwriting from a letter-writing perspective, common questions he is asked, marketing and approaching theaters, dealing with rejection, finding opportunities, and negotiating compensation. We also discuss applying to Julliard, structure, considering your audience, the Math of Playwriting, monologues as a marketing tool, how changing characteristics might affect approach, the strategy of revealing information, the traps of questions and answers in dialogue, and the benefits of (earned) reversals.

Today we feature my appearance on The CEO Project Podcast, where I discussed the topics of Authentic Leadership and Branding. The host, Jim Schleckser, had been my guest on the podcast a few weeks before this session, so this conversation started from there.We talked about how I work with leaders to help them be more authentic. Specifically, we discussed how to create definitions of values that can be very operational and can serve as guides in day to day business decisions. We also discussed how individual values can be seen as a parallel of branding, and how to be a company's brand pillars need be reflected in the whole experience, and not just in the communications.Contact Dino at: dino@al4ep.comWebsites:al4ep.comThe CEO Project Podcast - Dino's EpisodeJim Schleckser on Authentic Leadership for Everyday PeopleAdditional Guest Links:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jimschleckserLinkedIn Corporate: linkedin.com/company/theceoprojectAuthentic Leadership For Everyday People / Dino CattaneoDino on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dinocattaneoPodcast Instagram – @al4edp Podcast Twitter – @al4edp Podcast Facebook: facebook.com/al4edpMusicHonest Mechanik: honestmechanik.bandcamp.com

Today's guest is Ricardo Regalado, a serial builder and entrepreneur. Ricardo launched 5 companies and is a partner in a 6th. His ventures are in different industries, but his main two companies are all grounded in his deep expertise in the commercial cleaning industry. Rozalado Services, the first business he launched – a cleaning services company, and Route, his latest business, is a specialized technology platform for cleaning services companies.In our conversation, Ricardo shares his story, and we touched upon three core elements of his leadership: how starting his career in sales impacted his approach, how to lead businesses integrating members of your family, and how he built a core foundation of expertise in an industry that is not considered very trendy, like commercial cleaning services, and used that as a platform to entrepreneurship, even launching a tech company.Contact Dino at: dino@al4ep.comWebsites:al4ep.comrickyregalado.comAdditional Guest Links:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/rickyregalado/Facebook: facebook.com/ricky.regalado.39Instagram: @rickyregaladoCorporate sites:rozaladocleaning.comgetroute.comCleaning & Cocktails podcast on YouTubeAuthentic Leadership For Everyday People / Dino CattaneoDino on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dinocattaneoPodcast Instagram – @al4edp Podcast Twitter – @al4edp Podcast Facebook: facebook.com/al4edpMusicSusan Cattaneo: susancattaneo.bandcamp.com

Dr. Layne Martin, initially focused on veneers and crowns, shifted his career after collaborating with dentists specializing in complex cases, particularly influenced by Victor Avis. Avis emphasized the importance of airway issues, which Dr. Martin explored further, realizing that symptoms like teeth grinding and narrow jaws often signal airway problems. This insight led him to pursue specialized training in airway health, enhancing his expertise and reinforcing the crucial link between dentistry and overall health.They explore common misconceptions about sleep disorders, their impact on children, and the crucial signs to watch out for as parents. Dr. Martin emphasizes the importance of addressing the root causes of these issues rather than just the symptoms, drawing from his extensive experience in restorative dentistry. He also introduced us to innovative solutions like a specialized mouthpiece and the Open Air Pillow, designed to improve sleep quality for both children and adults, including those with PTSD and anxiety.TakeawaysKids should always be dry, calm, and quiet (in regards to sleep).Sleep habits impact our behavior.Good sleep is an essential part of our body's development.Timestamps00:00 Dentists notice airway problems linked to dentistry.05:58 Sleep impacts growth hormone, brain development, and orthodontics.07:15 Kids grind teeth due to airway issues.11:04 Parents should proactively address children's health concerns.12:57 Pediatric dentist identified airway problem, transformative intervention.17:45 Pillow trials improve sleep and airway issues.20:28 Passion for impacting millions over private practice.23:45 Narrow jaws and bite issues affect treatment.28:24 Assess acid reflux, heartburn, ear, and jaw issues.29:24 Sharing treatment message broadly, inspired by My Pillow.

Christian came into this work from a very nontraditional path. He started his career in the NGO world and specifically doing work supporting medical efforts in Africa and Kosovo. Through this work he became interested in mediation and that is what ultimately led him down his current path.In our conversation we spent a lot of time discussing his experiences in Africa and how that informed his overall approach to leadership.
