About this listen
In this episode of Tenacity with Sonia C, Sonia sits down with Jim Fielding, former President of Disney Stores, The Gap, and 20th Century Fox consumer products, author of the best-selling book All Pride, No Ego, and now a full-time coach, speaker, and angel investor.
Jim shares his journey from the heights of Hollywood and corporate leadership to redefining success through purpose, authenticity, and service. He opens up about the burnout that led him to walk away from it all, and the clarity that followed.
We dive deep into:
- The “ikigai” philosophy that transformed his life
- Why confidence beats arrogance when raising capital
- How to lead through layoffs and acquisitions with empathy
- When founders should step back, and how to do it with grace
- Building your board of directors
Plus, Jim gives must-hear advice for early-stage founders struggling with ego, leadership gaps, or burnout.
If you’re a startup founder, aspiring entrepreneur, or curious about what it takes to lead and grow with impact, this is a can’t-miss conversation.
