Podcasts about thought leaders

What's really stopping you from becoming the thought-leader you're meant to be?In this episode of Daily Path Podcast, I break down the real reason so many capable, successful entrepreneurs hesitate to step into thought-leadership — and how to fix it.If you've ever caught yourself thinking:“I want to be a business coach… but who would actuallypay me?”“I want to share my story… but who would listen?”“I want to write a book… but what if no one buys it?”You're not alone — and you're notunqualified.I explain why doubt isn't a skill issue, confidence issue, or experience issue. It's an identity issue.Drawing from personal reflection, conversations with 6–8 figure entrepreneurs, and a powerful devotional insighton “embracing the new you,” this episode explores why so many people stay stuck seeing themselves as who they used to be — even after life and success have clearly moved them forward.In this episode, you'll learn:Why successful people stillstruggle to own their voiceThe hidden cost of staying silentafter you've already succeededHow to audit your circle so itsupports who you're becoming — not who you wereA simple reflection exercise toreconnect with the growth you've earnedWhy thought-leadership starts withpermission — and how to give it to yourselfHow to practice the identity ofthe thought-leader you're becoming (not just talk about it)The truth is simple: You already have the experience. Youalready have the results. The only thing left is embracing who you are now. If you're ready to stop doubting your voice and start leading with it, this episode is for you.-------------Ready to step into thought leadership and build a podcast that attracts high-ticket clients?

What did "great thought leadership" look like when the market wouldn't sit still, the C-suite couldn't sleep, and yesterday's playbook was already obsolete? In this Best of 2025 compilation, we pulled together four standout conversations that got brutally practical about relevance, differentiation, and turning ideas into outcomes. Keith Ferrazzi broke down the real challenge behind "evergreen" ideas: keeping the core principles intact while continuously connecting them to what leaders were worrying about in the moment—AI, volatility, and competitive pressure. The throughline was methodology. Not hot takes. Not vibes. A repeatable way to stay current without becoming a trend-chaser. Then Keith pushed into what he called "teamship"—the underdeveloped layer in leadership thinking. Not how leaders gave feedback. How teams gave each other feedback. Not how a boss held people accountable. How peers did. He was blunt about the data: most teams were mediocre, and many avoided conflict when the stakes were highest. Stephanie Chung reframed a politicized topic into a clean leadership platform: how you led people who were not like you. Not as a slogan. As a set of tools for leading across real differences—generation, gender, neurodiversity, ability, identity, and more. It was a leadership operating system for a workplace where "one-size-fits-all" was dead. Michael Horn brought the "jobs to be done" lens into career strategy with Job Moves. The value here wasn't motivation. It was decision quality. A structured way to avoid moves that looked right on paper and still landed wrong in real life—and to reconnect your thought leadership to the unique value you actually provided. Paige Velasquez Budde got tactical about thought leadership as a visibility engine. She called out the fantasy metrics (overnight bestseller, one big hit, last-minute PR) and replaced them with a grown-up approach: start early, build credibility over time, and use targeted "micro media" to drive the outcomes that mattered—leads, authority, and premium positioning. We've learned a lot from our guests in 2025, this episode provides valuable information on taking your platform to the next level, staying relevant, and finding success in 2026!

From celebrating women's representation to demanding true systemic disruption, I'm opening 2026 with a hard look at why nearly half of new businesses are started by women, yet so few ever cross the million-dollar mark.In this solo episode of She Leads, I unpack a paradox that should stop every founder and leader in her tracks: women launched 49% of new businesses in 2024, but only 4.2% reached $1 million in revenue. This isn't a conversation about confidence or competence, it's about systems. And more importantly, it's about how women who succeed within existing frameworks are rewarded, while those who challenge and redesign those frameworks face resistance at every turn.I introduce a three-level disruption framework that reframes how we think about success in entrepreneurship. Level one is representation and women building profitable companies in spaces never designed for them. Level two is model disruption and changing how industries operate, from regenerative construction practices to ethical beauty brands that challenge labor and sourcing norms. And level three is systemic disruption, where success redistributes power itself, creating new pathways through employee ownership, transparent supply chains, and reinvestment into underrepresented founders.This episode also confronts uncomfortable truths: how venture capital flows toward “acceptable” women-led industries, how algorithms and infrastructure quietly reinforce bias, and how family responsibilities still disproportionately force women out of business. The data is clear, and the issue isn't ambition or ability, it's a system built around invisible labor and outdated definitions of success.As we step into 2026, I invite you to ask a bigger question: not just how much you want to build, but what you're building toward. Because hitting a million dollars may require grit, but building something that lasts, scales, and changes the rules demands disruption. Tune in for a powerful redefinition of what it truly means to lead.Chapters

As one year closes and another begins, most of us are wired to look forward—to new goals, fresh plans, and the next chapter. But this special episode of CFO Thought Leader invites you to do something slightly different: look back. Not to financial milestones or career titles, but to the moments that quietly shape who we become long before anyone hands us a business card.In this episode, three CFOs take us back to the earliest chapters of their lives—stories of family, displacement, discipline, sacrifice, and unexpected kindness. You'll hear how a father's insistence on “trying,” a mother's balancing act between career and family, and a landlord's life-altering act of generosity became the invisible architecture behind leadership, resilience, and purpose. None of these moments appear on a résumé. Yet each one echoes through boardrooms, decision-making, and how these leaders show up for others.As we release this episode on New Year's Eve, it feels like the right reminder: progress isn't only measured by what we build next, but by what shaped us along the way. Before the spreadsheets, before the titles, before the outcomes—there were people, moments, and values that set everything in motion.We hope these stories give you pause, perspective, and perhaps a renewed appreciation for the beginnings that make all the difference.

Michael Hides (Senior Vice President Business Banking at Associated Bank) joins Steve Grzanich in today's Associated Bank Thought Leader conversation to discuss how large U.S. banks are entering 2026 in a strong position, along with year-end moves that could save you money.

In this episode, I sit down with Matt Marcotte — a seasoned retail and customer experience leader who has shaped some of the world's most iconic brands. We explore what it really takes to build, scale, and transform organizations through culture, leadership, and a relentless focus on the customer. Matt shares insights from decades of navigating high-pressure environments, leading teams through disruption, and finding clarity in complexity. Throughout our conversation, we dig into the mindset shifts leaders must make to succeed today, why experience is becoming a non-negotiable differentiator, and how the best organizations create consistency without stifling creativity. We also get personal: Matt opens up about his own evolution as a leader, where he's gotten it wrong, and what he's learned along the way. If you're looking to elevate your leadership, rethink how you serve your customers, or simply hear a refreshingly honest perspective from someone who's been in the trenches — this episode is for you. Book Description  Built on Belief: Why Cultures of Commitment Are the Competitive Advantage What drives truly successful organizations? It is not just products, processes, or profits—it is belief. In Built on Belief, leadership advisor Matt Marcotte reminds us that people are a brand's greatest asset. When leaders and teams align around a shared belief, commitment naturally follows—and commitment always outperforms compliance. This book is for leaders who want to inspire collaboration instead of control, employees who thrive in connection, and customers who stay loyal because of meaningful experiences. Marcotte doesn't offer empty corporate jargon or quick-fix trends. Instead, he distills three decades of leadership lessons into practical, human-centered strategies, including: How to clarify and codify the beliefs that define your brand How to shift from box-checking compliance to genuine commitment How to inspire people with a shared North Star If you want to lead a culture that begins in the heart, aligns the head, and moves through the hands of every person in your organization, Built on Belief is your guide.

"The deeper we meet ourselves, the deeper we can meet someone else."  True leadership begins with self-ownership. Growth is not about eliminating pain, conflict, or contradiction, but learning how to integrate them. When individuals stop chasing a one-sided version of positivity and instead understand polarity—challenge and support, strength and vulnerability—they gain clarity, resilience, and authenticity. Life stops happening to them and starts unfolding for them, revealing meaning even in the moments once labeled as failure or trauma.  Donna Parker is a global coach and speaker who helps people see themselves—and their lives—more honestly. She challenges the idea that growth comes from staying positive or avoiding discomfort, and instead points to the value of owning both sides of who we are. In this conversation, Donna explores how judgment, blame, and victim stories quietly keep people stuck, and why the moments we resist most often become the ones that shape our purpose. Drawing from decades of real-world experience, she shows how values drive behavior, how relationships act as mirrors, and how taking responsibility can lead to deeper freedom, clarity, and connection.  Learn more & connect:  Website: https://www.donnaparker.com  Social media:  Facebook – Donna Andrews Parker  Instagram – @global.coach.dparker  Visit https://www.eCircleAcademy.com and book a success call with Nicky to take your practice to the next level.

From scaling women-owned businesses past the million-dollar mark to rebuilding with clarity after burnout, I'm reflecting on the real work of leadership, discernment, and sustainable growth behind She Leads Media.In this episode, I step out from behind the mic to share my own journey as CEO of She Leads Media and host of the She Leads podcast, rooted in a mission that's bigger than revenue alone. Less than two percent of women-owned businesses scale beyond seven figures, and I've dedicated my work to changing that trajectory by helping women gain access to capital, confidence, and visibility. When women succeed financially, they reinvest in their families, communities, and causes, and that ripple effect is what drives everything we do at She Leads.I open up about the non-linear realities of entrepreneurship, especially for women navigating gender, culture, and systemic barriers. I reflect on how pressure-based growth models and urgency-driven decisions caused She Leads Media to lose momentum in 2024, and how 2025 became a year of recovery, discernment, and realignment. That reset clarified that sustainable leadership is all about honoring values, resisting manipulation, and trusting your own judgment even when advice comes from impressive voices.We also explore the practical work behind scaling with intention: building sound business models, strengthening financial health, developing media strategy, and using visibility as a tool for impact. I share what I've learned teaching entrepreneurship at Rice University's Jones School of Business and NYU, and why critical thinking, not blind imitation, is essential when learning from other founders' stories.As I look ahead to 2026, I share what's coming next for She Leads Media: personalized advisory work, curated global experiences, strategic partnerships, and renewed momentum symbolized by moving into the “year of the horse.” This episode is an honest invitation to lead with clarity, courage, and confidence, and to remember that extraordinary growth starts with conscious choice. Tune in and walk forward with me.Chapters

**BEST OF** That beautiful leather-bound journal you bought with the best intentions? The one now gathering dust under a pile of books? You're not alone. After 40 years of failed journaling attempts, Michael Bungay Stanier finally cracked the code to sustainable reflection—and it's likely nothing like what you've tried before. Michael is the author behind the Wall Street Journal bestseller The Coaching Habit (which Brené Brown called "a classic"), with over 1.5 million books sold worldwide. Named the #1 Thought Leader in Coaching by Thinkers50, his insights have been featured in Harvard Business Review, Forbes, and Fast Company. In this conversation, Michael shares: His surprisingly simple journaling breakthrough that eliminates the most common barriers to consistency A powerful weekly reflection framework that drives tangible results (not just empty introspection) The counterintuitive boundary system he uses to prevent work overload while maximizing impact Why he rejects popular "word of the year" goal-setting (and what he does instead) Whether you're a serial journal abandoner or simply seeking more intentional reflection practices, Michael's practical approach offers a refreshing alternative to traditional journaling methods that actually sticks. Key Quotes: “One thing that is really helpful is just to know I don’t have to say yes right away.” “I have failed to successfully journal since I was 16. I’m now 57, so I’ve been attempting to journal for 40 years.” “If you just start asking yourself what you want day in and day out it just starts forcing a deep clarity.” Connect with Michael via his website, Instagram, LinkedIn, or buy the Do Something That Matters Journal.

As the year comes to a close, we're revisiting a conversation that feels newly relevant. This week, we're re-releasing our CFO Thought Leader episode with Jonathan Carr, recorded three years ago—long before any exit was in view, but rich with insight into how he thinks about leadership, growth, and decision-making under uncertainty.That mindset was shaped early. Just 18 months after finishing college, Carr was placed in charge of a major Oracle implementation at a Stryker manufacturing plant in Puerto Rico. He had never led systems work before. The advice from his division controller was simple and direct: “find the opportunities that either get you promoted or fired,” Carr tells us.The six-month project forced him to work across manufacturing, IT, and finance to understand how transactions actually flowed through the plant. Carr describes the learning process as peeling back layers “like an onion,” where each answer revealed more complexity, he tells us. It was an early lesson in getting out of one's comfort zone and doing work before feeling fully prepared.That approach carried forward as Carr moved through FP&A, accounts receivable, and customer-facing roles, and later joined SurveyMonkey when the company was generating less than $100 million in revenue. There, he helped build finance capabilities, supported acquisitions, and participated in capital raises totaling nearly $1 billion, with less than $100 million in primary capital, Carr tells us.Later, at Atlassian, Carr was part of the finance leadership team during the company's transition from on-premise software to the cloud. The shift required conviction, transparency, and clear communication with employees and investors, even as near-term economics changed, Carr tells us.In the episode we're re-releasing today, you'll hear Carr reflect on growth, influence, and adaptability. “I reserve the right to get smarter,” he tells us—a line that neatly captures how he has approached each chapter of his career, long before the outcomes were known.

From Swiss banker to international bestselling author, Nathalie Botros shares how choosing self-love over external success became the catalyst for a life and business rooted in joy, authenticity, and impact.In this episode, I sit down with Nathalie Botros, known globally as The Bon Vivant Girl and a powerful Happiness Activator. Nathalie is an author, psychotherapist, mindset architect, and the Executive Editor of Ageless Living Magazine, where she curates stories that celebrate unapologetic living at every age. Our conversation begins with the magic of being together in person and the energy of women truly supporting women, not transactionally, but from a genuine place of “how can I help you.”Nathalie opens up about the pivotal moments that reshaped her life, from leaving a prestigious banking career in Switzerland to searching for fulfillment through fashion, success, and external validation. Despite checking all the “achievement” boxes, she found herself deeply unhappy. That awakening led her inward, where she began dismantling perfectionism, diet culture, and self-criticism, and replacing them with radical self-love. One simple mirror practice changed everything, transforming not only how she saw herself but how the world responded to her.We dive into the science of happiness, the myths women are conditioned to believe, and why self-love is the foundation of confident leadership, healthy relationships, and sustainable success. Nathalie also shares powerful insights for women entrepreneurs: why authenticity fuels growth, how setting boundaries protects your business, and why saying no, especially to unpaid labor, is an act of leadership, not selfishness.This episode is a reminder that true success means building a life where joy, impact, and alignment coexist. Nathalie's story will inspire you to stop chasing validation and start leading from a place of love, clarity, and self-worth. Tune in and let this conversation reset how you live, love, and lead.Chapters

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.

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.
