    A master builder and architect in her own right. Ceci Blomberg, Co-Founder of Well Built Solutions and one of the Workday ecosystem’s most trusted educators and architects, joins me to talk about what happens when you stop “renting” consultant brainpower and start building real in-house capability. She’s taking us from a hashtag (#WellBuiltWorkday) to a fast-growing content engine, a scaling team, and a playbook for Workday that’s designed to last—not collapse at the first change request. Often times people wonder what drives leaders to #evolve and #become. We are going to explore that journey with Ceci during this anticipated conversation. If you’re leading transformation, breaking barriers in tech, or determined to build something that outlives a go-live date... this conversation is your blueprint for a future that’s... well.. #WellBuilt.

  • When Confidence Compounds with Nicole Fleischmann

    When Confidence Compounds with Nicole Fleischmann
    Feb 11 2026
    PERFECTION IS NOT THE PRICE OF TRANSFORMATION. In this episode of 15 Minutes With, I’m sitting down with my friend, my colleague, and returning guest to the show… Nicole F. — and whew… this one is for the women (and leaders) doing 17 tabs of life at once. We are unpacking concepts people hint at on LinkedIn… but rarely say out loud: ✅ Why perfectionism is a leadership trap (especially for “oldest daughter energy” folks) ✅ Why failing faster isn’t messy... it’s modern ✅ What it takes to use your voice in rooms you once shrank inside ✅ Why you don’t “arrive”… you earn it... and sometimes it’s costly This episode will be a roadmap for the modern working parent + leader + creator: “My career life and my creator life used to be separate… and then I realized: how can they be different?” Because the truth is… Your leadership doesn’t clock out. Your life doesn’t compartmentalize. And transformation doesn’t (always) wait for you to feel ready. 🎙️ If you’ve ever: • felt pressure to be perfect • hesitated to speak up • wondered if AI is replacing you • tried to balance career + family + ambition • been questions because you “just arrived” …this episode is your reminder: You didn’t arrive. You BUILT this. With will. With grace. With community. And yes… sometimes with exhaustion and a laugh in the middle of it. Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts & motivation. And tag a leader who needs to hear this. #15MinutesWith #Workday #WomenInLeadership #FutureOfWork #AI #Transformation #Leadership #WorkingMoms #CreatorEconomy #ConsultingLife

  • Authenticity Scales & Sales with Nick Matthews

    Authenticity Scales & Sales with Nick Matthews
    Feb 4 2026
    Authenticity is the engine that scales & sales.. Nick’s story is a masterclass in this idea. He didn’t become effective by becoming louder, more aggressive, or more “sales-like.” He became powerful by becoming more himself. His journey shows that transformation doesn’t happen when you perform — it happens when you align. Nick transforms organizations not by pushing products, but by: • translating complexity into clarity • replacing outdated systems with human-centered progress • making enterprise change feel safe, achievable, and real Nick isn’t selling software. He’s restoring time, dignity, and focus to healthcare organizations that serve people at their most vulnerable. Which leads to his deeper philosophy: You don’t need to become someone else to become extraordinary. You just need to become fully yourself.

  • Secure Your Own Mask First with Nakisha Hicks

    Secure Your Own Mask First with Nakisha Hicks
    Jan 28 2026
    Most organizations don’t fail because of bad strategy. They fall apart because nobody is telling the truth in the room.

This conversation will challenge how you define: success, leadership, ambition, impact, and influence. Listen. Reflect. Walk heavy.

    From Service to Strategy: Purpose, Growth, and Grit with Wayne Martindale
    Oct 8 2025
    This is Wayne Martindale. A leader of teams. A healthcare technologist. A keeper of hope. An American Hero. This is a phenomenal conversation...truly one of the best. Wayne Martindale is a winner, folks. Ten-plus years serving America, elite training, Vanderbilt, Emory—top-tier credentials. He takes the discipline and grit from the Army and brings it straight into healthcare and technology. Massive transition. Not easy. But he makes it look easy...because that’s what leaders do. We talk about building unstoppable teams, staying calm under pressure (COVID parking-lot triage—unbelievable), and the simple rule that wins every time: control what you can control. Wayne shows how veterans create value on day one—execution, loyalty, results. We even have fun—rapid fire, music takes, and the great debate: bone-in wings (the correct answer). If you want a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and real leadership, this episode is absolutely tremendous. Believe me...you’re going to love it. This is Wayne Martindale. A leader of teams. A healthcare technologist. A keeper of hope. An American Hero.
