Many Catholics love the Church but struggle to explain what they believe—or to confidently invite others into it. In this conversation, Ron Huntley welcomes Dr. Peter Pellicaan for a thoughtful discussion on evangelization, parish renewal, Catholic identity, and Peter's new book, The Secret Catholic. Together they explore how leaders can cultivate missionary cultures, learn from other Christian traditions without compromising Catholic teaching, and form disciples who are confident in both their faith and their mission. If you're a priest, parish leader, or Catholic seeking to lead others more intentionally, this episode offers both practical wisdom and renewed hope for the Church's mission. ➡️ Take the free Parish Missional Health Assessment at HuntleyLeadership.com to discover where your parish is on the journey of renewal. In this episode, you'll learn: - Why healthy parish leadership begins with a missionary heart - How formation equips Catholics to share their faith with confidence - What Catholics can learn from Protestant evangelization while remaining deeply Catholic - Why style and tradition are often confused in parish life - How Peter's new book The Secret Catholic helps answer the questions many people are afraid to ask - Why disciple-making—not simply maintaining programs—is the Church's primary mission - Practical encouragement for creating parishes where newcomers can genuinely encounter Christ About Dr. Peter Pellicaan Dr. Peter Pellicaan serves as Executive Director of Archdiocesan Ministries for the Archdiocese of Brisbane and is an ordained deacon, theologian, musician, husband, and father. Holding a PhD in theology, Peter is passionate about evangelization, Catholic formation, and helping parishes become vibrant missionary communities. His latest book, The Secret Catholic, introduces the Catholic faith through engaging conversations designed for both seekers and lifelong Catholics.

This is part 2 of a 2 part conversation…  In part 2 of a two part conversation on the Whiskey, Jazz, and Leadership Podcast, host Galen Bingham talks with Dr. Deb Clary (founder of the Clary Group and author of The Curiosity Curve) about leaders needing a broad “toolbox” and the dexterity to use the right approach for each situation.

What if the most meaningful chapter of your life hasn't happened yet? In this episode of Success Leaves Clues, Robin Bailey and Al McDonald sit down with Brenda Benard, COO at Benard + Associates, to explore midlife reinvention, overcoming self-doubt, and finding the courage to create a life that reflects who you are becoming.Brenda never planned to become a business leader. After turning down an opportunity to study theatre, struggling with low confidence, and believing her happiness would come from other people, she spent years moving through life without a clear sense of what she wanted. But a quiet voice continued reminding her that she was capable of more.Brenda shares why walking into a room filled with CEOs changed how she saw her own value, what her professional-athlete daughter taught her about self-belief, and how perimenopause affected her confidence, identity, and mental health. She also explains why asking “What's the worst that could happen?” can make intimidating decisions feel possible.Robin, Al, and Brenda discuss intentional aging, protecting your health, listening to the whispers that tell you something needs to change, and refusing to postpone meaningful experiences until someday.Whether you're questioning your career, navigating midlife, rebuilding your confidence, or wondering whether it's too late to make a change, this episode is a powerful reminder that today is the youngest you will ever be again.You'll hear about:Why Brenda calls herself the “reluctant COO”How self-doubt shaped Brenda's early life and career decisionsWhy she turned down her dream of studying theatreBecoming a police officer at 33 while raising two young daughtersHow to recognize the quiet signs that you are capable of moreThe question that changed Brenda's outlook on time and opportunityWhy taking responsibility can be more empowering than assigning blameThe moment Brenda realized she deserved to have her success celebratedHow other people may see strengths you cannot yet recognize in yourselfOvercoming feelings of inferiority around senior leaders and executivesWhy even the most accomplished leaders are still figuring things outHow perimenopause can affect confidence, identity, and mental healthWhat Brenda's daughter taught her about making her younger self proudHow evaluating the worst-case scenario can help you move through fearWhy health and longevity have become central to Brenda's next chapterThe power of trading expectation for appreciationWe talk about:00:00 Introduction to Brenda Benard and rethinking success in midlife03:43 Self-doubt, abandoned dreams, and expecting happiness from others05:02 Listening to life's whispers and becoming a police officer at 3308:41 “If not now, then when?” and why someday may never arrive11:31 The moment Brenda decided she deserved to have her success celebrated13:53 How Brenda's employees saw strengths she couldn't recognize in herself21:06 Walking into a room of CEOs and overcoming feelings of inferiority26:00 Perimenopause, self-confidence, and navigating the dark years27:52 What Brenda's daughter taught her about honouring her younger self29:42 Using the worst-case scenario to move through fear31:02 Raising courageous daughters and refusing to waste more time33:10 Intentional aging, protecting your health, and living while you can38:57 Trading expectation for appreciationConnect with BrendaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brenda-benard-4a259188Website: www.benardinc.com Connect with UsLinkedIn: Robin Bailey and Al McDonald Website: Aria Benefits and Life & Legacy Advisory Group

Kim Svoboda is the founder of Aspiration Catalyst and author of BOLD Leadership: The Adventure of Building Excuse-Proof, Goal-Crushing Teams. Kim argues that leadership isn't about position, power, or title. It's about creating a vision others believe in while leading in a way that aligns with your values. Too many leaders achieve external success without ever asking whether the life they're building reflects what matters most. In this conversation, Kim shares how a simple values exercise exposed the gap between the leader she wanted to be and the life she was actually living. She explains how that experience became the foundation for her BOLD framework (Brilliant vision, Oneness, Lighthouse leadership, Daring drive), why intentional leadership starts with knowing what you stand for, and how leaders create stronger cultures by serving as a lighthouse for others rather than simply driving results. If success looks good on paper but feels disconnected from what matters most, this conversation is a practical reminder that leadership begins with leading yourself first.

"When you're tolerating behavior that isn't in alignment with the goals that you have, it is soul crushing for teams." "Sometimes your top performer, if they don't have the right cultural and values piece, is actually hurting you more than they're helping." "What do you truly have control over? I like people to just focus on what you have agency over and start there." "I actually did take a step back and spent time really getting clear on what it was that I wanted. And I don't think that most people do that." "Every relationship we have starts with trust." "I think it's to treat others the way that they wish to be treated."

God is not waiting to give you something. He's waiting for you to go get what He's already given. That's the tension at the heart of this episode, and if you've ever found yourself in a season of praying, waiting, and wondering why nothing seems to be moving, Christine Caine has a direct word for you from the Book of Joshua: how long will you put off going in to possess the land? In this week of our summer series, Christine Caine brings the entire series to a point. We've built the roots. We've developed the resilience. We've walked through shame, waited through the wilderness, found the peace. Now comes the question that determines whether any of it produces fruit: are you willing to go in and possess what God has already promised you? Because the abundant life Jesus described in John 10:10 was never meant to be dropped from the sky. It was meant to be walked into actively, faithfully, and at personal cost. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ Why does it feel like God's promises are for everyone else but not for me? ✅ I've been praying and believing for years, but why haven't I seen the breakthrough yet? ✅ What does it actually mean to possess the promises of God — is there something I need to do? ✅ How do I know what I need to cut away in order to move forward? ✅ Is the abundant life Jesus promised actually available to me right now, in my circumstances? ✅ Why do some Christians seem to walk in blessing and favor while others don't? ✅ Am I co-laboring with God or just waiting for Him to do something I'm supposed to participate in? …then this is your episode.

What if people strategy was treated as a driver of growth rather than an HR cost centre?For the milestone **300th** episode of Success Leaves Clues, Robin Bailey and Al McDonald welcome back Joanna Kmiec, Chief People Officer at Loopio and one of the people who helped shape the direction of the podcast.Joanna challenges the idea that a Chief People Officer's job is simply to keep employees happy. The real mandate is to build an organization that can grow, perform, and endure, without losing the humans inside the org chart. That requires business fluency, empathy, accountability, systems thinking, and the courage to speak up when everyone else in the room agrees.She explains how a strong people strategy reduces organizational drag, improves time to productivity, strengthens manager effectiveness, and allows senior leaders to spend more time building instead of repairing. Joanna also shares which workforce metrics matter, how people leaders can connect their work to business performance, and why the story behind the data is often more valuable than the number itself.Whether you are a CEO, founder, people leader, HR professional, or executive scaling a growing company, this episode offers a candid look at what strategic people leadership requires and how it can become a genuine lever for organizational growth.You'll hear about:What a Chief People Officer is actually responsible for Why people strategy should be treated as a growth lever How culture can accelerate or obstruct business strategy Why people outcomes belong to managers, not only HR How to be bold without sacrificing kindness Measuring time to productivity and manager effectiveness Identifying and reducing organizational drag Why responsibility without authority causes leadership burnout How HR leaders can protect themselves during periods of chaos The quieter strengths that define exceptional leadership Why great employees sometimes leave great companies How former employees can become lifelong brand ambassadors Why creating other leaders is one of leadership's greatest successes Using persistence and setbacks to move closer to a breakthroughWe talk about:00:00 Celebrating 300 episodes of Success Leaves Clues 03:02 The real role of a Chief People Officer 06:16 How strategic HR leadership has evolved 09:47 Becoming comfortable with tension as a leader 14:33 Why people strategy is a growth lever 18:14 Measuring the impact of people initiatives 22:23 What causes burnout among HR leaders 28:00 Staying calm and healthy during organizational chaos 34:38 The quieter qualities of exceptional leaders 38:00 Why great employees leave great companies 42:02 Why real leaders create other leaders 44:33 The advice that shaped Joanna's leadershipConnect with JoannaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joanna-kmiec-chrl/ Website: https://loopio.com/ Connect with UsLinkedIn: Robin Bailey and Al McDonald Website: Aria Benefits and Life & Legacy Advisory Group

Donnie Boivin is the CEO and founder of Success Champion Networking, five-time bestselling author, and founder of the Badass Business Summit. Donnie argues that traditional networking fails anyone selling high-value services. Too many people spend their time collecting business cards from people who will never buy from them instead of building relationships with people who can open the right doors. In this conversation, Donnie explains why the best networkers focus on helping others grow before asking for anything in return, why collaborating with competitors can create opportunities neither side could win alone, and how consistently investing time in relationships leads to bigger deals than chasing referrals ever will. If you're looking to build a stronger network, close larger opportunities, and create lasting business relationships, this conversation offers a practical roadmap for doing it differently.

In this episode, Paul Falavolito explains why experienced employees provide judgment, pattern recognition, and institutional knowledge that technology cannot replace, and how leaders can preserve and leverage that advantage to build stronger organizations.Host: Paul FalavolitoConnect with me on your favorite platform: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Substack, BlueSky, Threads, LinkTree, YouTubeView my website for free leadership resources and exclusive merchandise: www.paulfalavolito.comBooks by Paul FalavolitoThe 7 Minute Leadership® Handbook: bit.ly/48J8zFGThe Leadership Academy: https://bit.ly/4lnT1PfThe 7 Minute Leadership® Survival Guide: https://bit.ly/4ij0g8yThe Leader's Book of Secrets: http://bit.ly/4oeGzCI

You can have deep roots, genuine resilience, open hands, and real faith — and still not fully flourish. Because flourishing requires freedom. And for most of us, the thing standing between us and that freedom is something we've been carrying so long we don't notice the weight anymore. It's shame. In week 8 of our summer series, Christine Caine gets personal. This is the episode where she shares the testimony that reaches the part of us we don't usually let anyone see, the part that wonders, quietly and persistently, whether we are actually enough. Whether God could really use someone like us. Whether what happened to us has somehow disqualified us from what He intended for us. Christine Caine takes us back to Genesis 2, to the last verse before the fall, to the one thing God never designed us to carry, and shows that shame was never part of the original design. The enemy introduced it precisely because it is the most effective weapon against the thing he most wants to destroy: a life bearing fruit for the Kingdom. In this episode, Christine Caine opens her own story and shows what happened when she chose to place the truth of God's Word over the facts of her circumstances. She doesn't minimize the facts. She simply introduces a force that is higher than the facts: the truth of who God says you are. The takeaway that will stay with you: the thing the enemy used to shame you is often the very thing God will use to qualify you. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ Why do I still feel like I'm not enough, even after years of faith? ✅ Can God really use someone with a past like mine? ✅ How do I separate my identity from what happened to me? ✅ What do I do with shame that feels too deep or too old to shift? ✅ How do I believe what God says about me when the facts of my life say something different? ✅ Is it possible to flourish when I'm still carrying things I haven't told anyone? ✅ What does it actually mean to be God's workmanship — and does that include me? …then this is your episode.

Stop Selling. Start Storytelling. In this episode of The Impact of Leadership Podcast, Patrick Booth sits down with Jim Kohlhardt, President & CEO of Saturn Lounge, for a powerful conversation about faith, purpose, leadership, and why authentic storytelling is the future of marketing. Jim shares his personal journey—from being adopted as a newborn to navigating career uncertainty and ultimately discovering that success means little if you don't believe in what you're selling. Together, they explore how AI is reshaping business, why so many marketing efforts fail, and what separates organizations that build trust from those that simply create noise. The key message is simple: People don't connect with what you do nearly as much as they connect with why you do it. If you're a leader, entrepreneur, business owner, or marketer looking to build deeper relationships, communicate your mission more effectively, and grow through authenticity, this episode is for you.

Can a parish really become missionary? What if the answer begins with just one transformed life? If you're longing to see your parish become a place where people truly encounter Jesus, this conversation will encourage and challenge you. Many parish leaders wonder how to move from maintenance to mission. Others wonder whether evangelization actually works. In this episode, you'll hear two remarkable testimonies that answer those questions—not with theories or strategies, but with lived experience.

@1QLeadership Question: How can leaders in college athletics use their own story and environment to build better systems for student‑athlete success in the age of NIL? Dr. Ron Moses, Deputy AD at Old Dominion, shares how dropping out of high school, serving in the Army, and returning to college shaped his people‑first leadership style and commitment to mentoring. He explains why he keeps his office in the academic center, how his counseling and HR background inform mental health, academic, and NIL education, and why he treats revenue sharing as a financial literacy and life‑skills challenge for young athletes.  Moses also discusses his work with veterans and military partners. In his opinion, work such as teaching emotional intelligence, transition skills, and organizational development carry over to college athletics. He reflects on leading through an AD transition, using Virginia's competitive athletics landscape to raise standards, and leveraging the region's military presence to teach perspective, teamwork, and leadership.  In summary, Moses shows how lived experience, intentional relationships, and a unique local context can help leaders build holistic support systems that outlast any single person or era. - One Question Leadership Podcast - Stephanie Garcia-Cichosz - Tai M.

David Gray is the CEO of FedUp Foods, a values-driven beverage company serving major retailers. His purpose-driven leadership has earned national recognition, including being named one of the MO 100 Top Impact CEOs, an annual ranking of purpose-driven business leaders, and receiving the Pros to Know Award. David believes the best leaders never force a choice between empathy and accountability. In times of uncertainty, people need both. Connection creates the trust that makes accountability possible. In this conversation, David explains how leading through Hurricane Helene reinforced the importance of putting people first while communicating clearly through uncertainty. He shares the practical crisis leadership framework that guided his team through Hurricane Helene, explains why values become even more important as organizations scale, and reflects on what changed his mind about leadership: people really can grow when leaders take the time to understand and develop them. Whether you're leading through change or simply trying to build a stronger culture, this conversation offers a practical framework for balancing compassion with accountability while staying true to your values.

God never said, "Hurry up." He said, "Wait." And most of us are terrible at it. In week seven of our summer series, Christine Caine speaks into the season most of us are trying to get through as fast as possible — the waiting room. The season between the promise and the fulfillment. The gap between what God said and what you can currently see. Most of us treat that gap as a problem to be solved or a delay to be endured. Christine Caine makes clear it's neither. It is the place where the deepest roots get formed. She takes us through David's journey, not to show us how he arrived, but to show us what happened in between. Because David didn't just wait. He became. Every stage of the process taught him something he could not have learned any other way. The sheep. The palace. The cave. The wilderness. None of it was wasted. All of it was preparation. Waiting on God is not passive. It is the most active, faith-filled posture you can take. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ I feel called and gifted — so why does it feel like nothing is happening? ✅ How do I stay faithful in a season that feels pointless or beneath me? ✅ What do I do when life feels genuinely unfair and God hasn't explained why? ✅ How do I trust God's timing when I'm watching less qualified people get ahead? ✅ Is the hard season I'm in actually preparing me for something or have I missed my moment? ✅ What's the difference between being anointed and being appointed — and what happens in between? ✅ How do I keep turning up when I've been overlooked, misunderstood, or treated unjustly? …then this is your episode.

Your circumstances haven't changed. The storm is still there. So why are you so calm? That's not a problem. That's a testimony. In week six of our summer series, Christine Caine takes us into one of the most practical and quietly radical things a believer can do in a chaotic world: refuse to let your heart spiral. Drawing on Philippians 4:6–7 and John 14, she shows that the peace of God isn't the absence of storms — every single one of us is either heading into one, standing in the middle of one, or coming out of one. Peace isn't what happens when the storm stops. It's what guards your heart while it's still raging. In this episode, Christine Caine unpacks the military language behind Philippians 4:7, the peace of God standing guard like a Roman soldier stationed at the gates of your heart, and makes the case that supernatural peace in the middle of chaos is one of the most powerful witnessing tools a believer has. She's honest about a recent situation that could have sent her spiraling, and shares what it looked like to actually apply Paul's instruction: pray about it, give it to God, and go to bed. Not because the situation was resolved, but because God never sleeps. The takeaway that will stay with you: don't lose your peace over something you can do nothing about. Take it to the only one who can do something about everything. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ How do I stop my mind from spiraling when something scary or uncertain is happening? ✅ Is it possible to genuinely have peace when my circumstances are still a mess? ✅ What does it actually mean to give something to God — and how do I stop picking it back up? ✅ Why does it feel like I'm not allowed to be at peace, like I don't care enough if I'm not worrying? ✅ How do I trust God when I can't see Him doing anything about my situation? ✅ What does biblical peace actually feel like and how is it different from just numbing out? ✅ How do I guard my heart without shutting down or pretending everything is fine? …then this is your episode.
