Podcasts about thought leaders

From musician to movement healer, Amanda Bauman shows us what it looks like to build a career led not by strategy, but by soul, intuition, and a deep commitment to helping people reconnect with themselves.Amanda is a multi-passionate entrepreneur whose work beautifully weaves together music, fitness, and wellness. As the co-owner and founder of Core Connection, she brings more than 15 years of experience in personal training, Pilates, and dance-based fitness, along with her creative world as a DJ and singer/songwriter. She's also the creator of Groove Alchemy, a signature class that blends meditation, somatic movement, and live DJ performance into an experience that feels both grounding and electric.In our conversation, Amanda opens up about the pivotal turning points that shaped her path, from moving to LA after college to chase acting and music, and navigating an autoimmune diagnosis that changed how she related to her body and her work. What started as spontaneous opportunities evolved into a meaningful shift toward fitness when her health required a new kind of presence. Years later, that winding, intuitive journey positioned her to step into entrepreneurship, purchasing the studio that would become Core Connection alongside her co-founder, Akiko Morrison.Amanda offers profound insight into partnership, purpose, and resilience. She talks about how her diagnosis of Ankylosing Spondylitis informed her compassionate teaching style, why choosing the right co-founder is critical, and how Groove Alchemy emerged as a healing blend of her passions. She also shares her current creative projects, like DJing at LA venues, remixing her original music with AI tools like Kuno, and envisioning a full live set built entirely from her own tracks.This episode is a reminder that leadership doesn't always begin with a business plan. Sometimes it begins with listening inward, trusting the next step, and allowing creativity to guide the way. Amanda's story celebrates what's possible when women build community-centered spaces rooted in authenticity, connection, and joy.Tune in to hear Amanda's full journey and the wisdom she brings to anyone navigating purpose, healing, and reinvention.Chapters

At first, we wondered why Zane Rowe was once again leading us back to Continental Airlines. With notable CFO tenures at VMware and EMC—chapters rich with transformation—surely there were fresh stories to surface.But as Rowe began tracing the logic behind flight profitability, route modeling, and data-rich decision making, the relevance snapped into focus. His Continental experience isn't just a recurring anecdote; it's the lens through which he still interprets complex systems today. That early foundation made this discussion every bit as insightful as our last—especially as he connected those lessons to Workday's AI trajectory and the accelerating pace of strategic decision making.“I spent a lot of time in the airlines in what we called flight profitability,” Rowe tells us. At Continental, he helped build systems to understand which routes truly created value when full planes were still losing money, he tells us. That work, grounded in heavy telemetry and EMC technology, showed him how finance could move from reporting results to reshaping the route portfolio, he tells us.In his first conversation with CFO Thought Leader, Rowe walked through those early chapters—from revenue management at a post-bankruptcy airline to a bold sales pivot at Apple and multiple CFO roles in technology, he tells us. In this second interview, he returns to the same storyline but takes it one step further, drawing a direct line from that profitability model to today's AI-driven world, he tells us.Now, as Workday's CFO, he describes AI as an equalizer that lets small teams run multiple forecasting models and ingest far more variables in cash projections than before, he tells us. He points to “Everyday AI,” a company-wide initiative, and a cross-functional AI leadership group that pushes common tools, responsible use, and regular check-ins on what is changing in the work itself, he tells us.Rowe's finance strategic moment this year is “recognizing the importance of investing more into AI”—organically and inorganically—because peers are not standing still and customers want those capabilities, he tells us. With a total addressable market “in the hundreds of billions of dollars” and revenue “much less than that,” he frames leadership now as deciding where to lean in hardest, he tells us.

From first-generation employee to visionary CEO, Liza Streiff shares how she grew a small training firm into the gold standard for Wall Street exam preparation while reshaping what leadership can look like for women in finance.As the youngest and first female CEO of Knopman Marks, Liza has built her career on purpose, resilience, and a belief in what people can achieve with the right support. She joined the company straight out of college planning to stay only a year, yet quickly connected with the mission of helping students pass high stakes exams that unlock life changing careers. Today she is known for a transformative approach to learning and high performance coaching that helped quadruple the company's size and earned her recognition as Female Executive of the Year at the 2023 Stevie Awards for Women in Business.In our conversation, Liza shares the pivotal moments that shaped her leadership, including stepping into the CEO role just before the pandemic. She describes guiding the company through a swift move to digital learning, a shift that expanded their national reach and strengthened their impact. She also reflects on how her own learning disabilities became an advantage in creating training that blends structure, empathy, and innovation.Liza offers practical insights on leading in fast changing environments, supporting Gen Z professionals, and cultivating entrepreneurial thinkers inside large organizations. She highlights the lasting importance of human connection in education and the mindsets needed to build meaningful careers. We also talk about her work through the Betty Kiernan Foundation, which provides targeted support to women pursuing nursing degrees and families in crisis.This episode is a powerful reminder of what is possible when women lead with clarity, heart, and conviction. Tune in to hear Liza's full story and the lessons she hopes will inspire the next generation of leaders.Chapters

Do you aim to create real change in your community, country or the world? Are you driven to make the kind of impact that leaves a legacy - something that matters for future generations? If you've ever found yourself thinking, “this has GOT to change, and I'm going to do it!”, then this episode is for you. I'm sharing the three unmistakable signs that you're meant for thought leadership, and the steps to help you step into those shoes much sooner than you imagined. Most women - especially coaches and experts -,tend to underestimate themselves. We convince ourselves it's just a “marketing” issue that keeps you feeling invisible, or believe it's an execution problem … and try to post more content. In reality, the problem often lies with how far you're playing below your true potential. What if your ideas are simply too big for the box you've put yourself in? What if your positioning is lacking the authority you deserve? In this episode, I'll help you spot the signs you're ready to lead and guide you to create the clarity you need to finally take your place as a thought leader. Ready to stop hiding in plain sight and claim your space? Let's get into it! You'll hear me cover: Why the ideas you're passionate about might feel “too big” for your current audience - and what that tension is really telling you. What's happening when your clients rave about you behind closed doors, but the wider market just hasn't caught on yet. How boredom with what everyone else is sharing is actually a sign your brain is craving a higher level of conversation and challenge. Why playing it safe with a vague or general niche keeps you stuck - and how you can start shifting into a space that's truly yours. What first step to take to move from hidden expert into your own “thought leader” zone - and how you can claim your advantage, starting today. Curious if this is what's been holding you back? Listen in to find out - the episode just might be the nudge you need to finally stand out and lead with confidence! =================================== The NICHE Buster 7 Day Program For coaches, creatives, consultants who want to rise above the crowd with unique expert positioning! https://www.jessicaosborn.com/nichechallenge .................................................

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The power of your personal brand lies not in your own perception of what it is, but in how consistently and authentically others experience you. It exists in the world around you.   Trust takes time to build and telling your stories consistently, frequently and over time, not only gives us personal gravitas and authenticity, it allows others to remember what we stand for, where we fit in their world, and what we can be counted on for. In other words, it starts with you.   The seven lenses explored—Healthy Mindset, Healthy Body, Healthy Brand, Healthy Business, Healthy Workplace, Healthy Systems, and Healthy Planet—are reaffirmed as interconnected ecosystems that create profound, often unforeseen impacts.   Expanding your influence from building brand you to building beyond you - into a "constellation of thinking and learning" - allows you to contribute much more meaningfully to the greater good.   Directing your privilege to forge new spaces for inclusion and collective leadership holds you responsible for pushing against conventional methods and helping those with less advantage.     ABOUT KYM HAMER: Kym is an international leadership and personal branding thought leader, an executive coach, and a programme design and facilitation practitioner. She is also the creator of Building Brand You™ - a methodology helping organisations, teams, and individuals to build reputation, presence, and gravitas.

In 2020, just one year after launching her business, she was nominated by Thinkers360 as one of the Top 100 Women B2B Leadership influencers and is currently in the Top 15 Personal Branding and Top 10 Marketing Influencers in the world. For 5 years running Kym has also been one of Thinkers360's Top 10 Thought Leaders on Entrepreneurship and in 2023, 2024 and 2025, was recognised as one of their Top Voices globally.

Show SummaryNatalie Elliott Handy, a caregiver for her husband and mother and co-host of the Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver Podcast. During our conversation, we share the commitment that she and her sister have to highlighting and supporting military connected caregivers. Provide FeedbackAs a dedicated member of the audience, we would like to hear from you about the show. Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts about the show in this short feedback survey. By doing so, you will be entered to receive a signed copy of one of our host's three books on military and veteran mental health. About Today's GuestNatalie is someone who genuinely loves people. She has a natural passion for meeting new faces, staying closely connected with family, friends, and colleagues, and, most of all, helping others. Anyone who knows her will readily say, “Natalie doesn't know a stranger.” It's simply who she has always been.Raised in her family's hardware store, Natalie learned early how to engage customers — and how to count change — by talking to everyone who walked through the door. At church, she was the first to volunteer to sing, recite Bible verses in “big church,” and attend every youth activity, especially lock-ins. In school, her teachers often placed her in the front row to help minimize “distractions,” because she was, without a doubt, a social butterfly.Those gifts — her ability to connect, her quick wit, and her desire to support others — naturally led her into leadership roles throughout her career in the mental health field. She married young at 21 and, many years later, again at 39. She often describes her first marriage as a light-hearted “practice run” with someone kind, but not Jason, the partner she shares her life with today.From the outside, Natalie's life looked picture-perfect: a fulfilling job, a loving husband, a close-knit support system, and of course, her beloved dogs. But behind the scenes, she was burning the candle at both ends — working 12-hour days, six days a week, answering every request with, “No problem. Happy to help.”Everything shifted when Jason was diagnosed with cancer in March 2022. In the midst of that crisis, Natalie confronted the truth that she couldn't keep living at that pace. During those darkest moments, she reconnected with her faith and, through that, rediscovered her true self. She learned to acknowledge her imperfections and, more importantly, to love herself fully — flaws and all.Today, Natalie has reordered her life with clear priorities: God, herself, Jason, family and friends, and then work. She says “no” far more often, seeks silver linings in difficult moments, and is grateful for the journey that led her to live God's plan instead of her own. She embraces the mantra of being “perfectly imperfect.”Her mission is simple: to share stories and experiences that inspire, uplift, and — whenever possible — spark a little laughter. She strives to encourage others to be true to themselves while supporting the people they love. And along the way, she fully intends to keep making new friends.Links Mentioned During the EpisodeConfessions of a Reluctant Caregiver Website2024 Heroes Caring for Heroes series2023 Heroes Caring for Heroes seriesPsychArmor Resource of the WeekThis week's PsychArmor Resource of the Week is the PsychArmor course course Understanding the VA for Caregivers.

Nathan Caldwell is the Bestselling Author, Thought Leader, and Speaker of Empowering Kindness. A lifelong performer-turned-leadership coach, Nathan's early career on stage taught him how guest-facing energy is created (and depleted) every shift. He later guided culture and leadership through multiple corporate acquisitions, evolving his research and writing into the book Empowering Kindness and the practice behind it. Empowering Kindness supports organizations with practical, science-backed frameworks that lift performance by building trust, clarity, and courage. In this interview, Nathan talks about Empowering Kindness, developing leaders, and beating the calendar. Empowering Kindness “Kindness takes strength, bravery, and wisdom to execute upon.” Nathan pushes kindness far beyond “being nice.” Drawing on research and lived experience, he frames kindness as a disciplined leadership choice: seeing others' needs (empathy), stepping into the gap despite discomfort (bravery), and applying the right response at the right time (wisdom). He cites studies showing that environments rich in kindness elevate wellbeing and performance, arguing that people are literally built to respond to good. Leaders operationalize this by defining what kindness looks like in specific roles, training for it, and equipping teams to deliver it consistently—not hoping people will “just be kind.” Instead of the tired “compliment sandwich,” Nathan recommends an “Oreo” culture: clearly state what “good” and “excellent” look like, and call them out often. Doing so deposits trust so that hard feedback is welcomed rather than resisted. When leaders are known for recognizing excellence, coaching moments land as invitations to rejoin that standard, not as gotchas. The outcome is a reinforcing loop of clarity → recognition → trust → growth. Developing Leaders “They must be great at filling people up with energy.” Borrowing from his performer background, Nathan describes the “energy lifecycle” of guest-facing roles: guests draw energy all day; if leaders only pull, teams burn out. Great leaders replenish through coaching, recognition, and practical support. He also normalizes the loneliness of leadership and urges leaders to build peer networks, learn continuously (books, webinars, podcasts), and identify personal recharge rituals. The goal isn't endless cheerleading; it's deliberate energy management so people can show up strong for guests and each other. Nathan's prescription is both organizational and personal. Organizations should create forums and rhythms where leaders learn together and hold one another accountable. Individually, leaders must notice depletion, own recovery, and return to the floor refueled. That self-awareness is a kindness to the team: a recharged leader is capable of the courageous conversations and steady presence that growth requires. Beating the Calendar “You have to beat the calendar. You have to win against the calendar. Intentionality is the only way to do it.” Seasonality and turnover can't be excuses. Nathan warns against hoping people “pick up” experience during the busy months; that's how issues get swept under the rug until they become trip hazards. Instead, map the precise competencies leaders need (e.g., handling difficult conversations), then schedule training, role-plays, and practice reps before peak season. Treat these as must-run plays, not nice-to-haves. When intentionality leads, teams meet higher guest expectations without burning out. His approach centers on earlier, braver, better-prepared conversations. Define likely scenarios, script first lines, practice aloud, and debrief. Pair this with the “Oreo” culture so accountability sits inside an environment saturated with examples of “what right looks like.” The payoff: fewer surprises, faster course-corrections, and a leadership bench that returns each season stronger than it left.

AI is something that is truly transforming global business services, in particular Agentic AI, and there is an incredible amount of discussion around the right and wrong way to use it and implement it within GBS.  Two of the topics we hear the most questions about at SSON are regarding buy vs. build and platform vs. point solutions. There is a lot of information online regarding this topic, but it can often be biased, dependent on whether it's written by a vendor and exactly what their solution is. Therefore, SSON invited AI expert Doug Shannon onto the Podcast to give his seasoned perspective. Doug is a Visionary Leader in Intelligent Automation and AI.  He is a pioneer in driving innovation, operational excellence, and strategic vision across global organizations. Recognized among the Top 50 Intelligent Automation Leaders and twice awarded as a Top 25 Thought Leader in this space.
