  • Today's guest is Marques Ogden, host of the Get Authentic With Marques podcast and inspirational keynote speaker, coach and consultant. In our conversation he shared the leadership lessons he got from a life in football: Marques played Division I football at Howard University, and was then drafted in the NFL where he played as an offensive lineman for the Titans, Bills, Ravens and Jaguars.

    This episode is a podcasting collaboration: it is part 2 of a conversation that I had with Marcqurs on his podcast Get Authentic with Marques, which was recorded on the same day.

  • Christian Muntean is a strategic coach and consultant based in Anchorage, Alaska, who specializes in leadership transitions and business exits. 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. A key point that he made is that in his experience the success of projects often is affected more by how it is organized and run than by the amount of resources availailable.

  • Jim Schleckser is founder & CEO of The CEO Project, a company that serves CEOs and high-revenue entrepreneurs. Their offering combines peer group meetings and discussions with personalized one-on-one coaching sessions led by former CEOs.

    We start with Jim's path to his first CEO role, and how coming up from the sales side shaped his approach. And in this context he shared some of his early mistakes and lessons. We then talked about what drove him to choose a more entrepreneurial path.

    We continue with a deep dive into what makes a CEO successful: how to balance organizational culture and leadership, the importance of building complementary teams, the need to know from the beginning how a business is going to be sustainable from a financial standpoint, when and how to think about raising capital. We finish with some thoughts on how the CEO role has changed over the past 20 years and what are the key traits to be effective.

  • Neta Weiner is an artist and social activist based in Jaffa. He is the founder and lead singer of the Jewish-Arab hip-hop band System Ali and the artistic director of the Beit System Ali social educational movement. And right now, he is also teaching a Tufts University.

    System Ali is musical collective of artists of many nationalities and ethnicities, that blends music genres and languages. As we discussed Neta’s journey from the organic birth of System Ali through its evolution into a structured performing group and an educational movement, we touched on a number of points: the challenges of maintaining unity within such a diverse group,the process of making art under conflict, the importance of disagreement within the creation of art, and changing his role from being a pure creator to also being the business leader of the group.

  • Today's guest is Patrick Heron - Managing Partner of Frazier Life Sciences, a healthcare investment firm focusing on companies developing novel therapeutics.

    In our conversation we covered his career, but then we dove into the hard questions: how do you build a successful partnership with a founder? As a VC, how do you balance protecting the interest of your investors with ensuring the business success of the companies you invested in? How do you navigate the hard trade offs when they show up? And then, in his dual role as investor and managing partner of Frazier, how do you build a successful VC firm? How do you manage that type of work force and how do you make sure all the incentives are lined up correctly?

    Throughout the episode, Patrick was very transparent and direct. If you are either a VC or aspiring VC or an entrepreneur, you will find a lot of deep insights.

  • Today's guest is Damon Lembi – CEO of Learnit, published author and host of the Learn-It-All podcast. As you may guess from the name, Learnit is a learning and training company that helps organizations upskill their workforce.

    Through college, Damon thought he would be a professional baseball player. He was drafted by the Atlanta Braves in high-school but elected to go to college and played at Pepperdine and Arizona State. But after college he found himself without an option to go pro, and elected to join Learnit, which had just been started by his family, as a receptionist. Over time, he made his way up to CEO.

    All of this makes for a very rich episode, where obviously you will hear about the leadership lessons from playing sport at a very high level, building your leadership approach as you move through your business, and how successful entrepreneurs can think about bringing the next generation into their business.

  • Joanna Strober is the CEO and founder of MIDI health, a company that provide tele health services to women in midlife. In the process, she ended up taking a leadership role not just for the company but for society as a whole, as MIDI Health does work that fills a big gap.

    Like many founders, Joanna had the idea to start the company when she experienced this void of service personally. In our conversation, she very candidly discusses the experience that led her to the idea, and she shares how her previous career as a partner at a venture capital firm helped her design and build a company in a way that would enable it to be economically viable while fulfilling this mission. She also shares some eye opening statistics on what the status of healthcare for women is in this country.

  • Victor Cho, CEO of Emovid comes back to the podcast. In our first conversation he mentioned his passion for the topic of the Fourth Stakeholder and the role of business in society. We agreed that since it was a topic we both loved, rather than discussing it in that episode we would dedicate a whole episode to it. So here he is.

    In the past 30 years, business has moved from a world where CEOs were expected to optimize for one stakeholder (shareholders) to three, adding customers and employees. As the environment becomes even more complex and we become aware of the direct and second order impacts that businesses has on society, Victor discusses a framework that CEOs can start to adopt to decide how to manage the Fourth Stakeholder - society at large.

  • Today's guest is Ali Cox, founder and CEO of Noble West, a marketing consultancy that specializes in food ingredients, agriculture and the entire agricultural ecosystem. Ali is not your typical CEO – before starting her business career, she won a world championship gold medal and an Olympic silver medal, in rowing. At the time she won it, in 2004, the US had not medaled since 1976 in her event, the women’s 8, and that team’s win launched an era of historic dominance for the US in the event.

    In this episode, Ali discusses her transition from a professional athlete to a marketing and advertising professional, the evolution of her leadership style, and her mission-driven approach to improving the food supply chain. The conversation touches on the challenges of leading a remote team, the importance of setting clear expectations, and the significance of building trust within her organization. And since she is an expert in the food I also asked her for some advice for consumers on making informed food choices.

  • Today we talk about branding and leadership with Carlos Williams, the founder of DBC, a creative agency that leverages data and equity to connect brands with their audiences. Carlos shares his unique perspective on leadership influenced by historical city-states.

    We started the conversation going way back to his experiences in elementary school, where he was always the smartest kid in the class, and how he had to mature and adapt as he went through high school and college, his experiences working as a designer for a large consulting firm and then using that as a springboard to launch his own company.

    We also havea very candid conversation of what it means to be a minority owned business, and some of the struggles that black owned businesses face vs. other businesses. Finally, he shares why he decided to keep his company a fully remote company, and what are some of the advantages that come from that structure.
