Host Jesse Jackson welcomes Boston-based consultant and lifelong Springsteen fan Andy Freed to discuss Freed’s book, "Lead Like The Boss: The Bruce Springsteen Framework to Elevating Your Leadership." Freed shares how discovering "Born to Run" at age eight sparked a fandom that’s led to nearly 100 shows, and explains how the arc of a Springsteen concert maps to practical leadership and communication lessons—preparation, staying on message, energizing an audience, building trust, and empowering a team. They talk about Bruce’s onstage habits like thanking every band member nightly, the importance of adapting to audience feedback, and the purpose-driven, political tone of the recent tour. Freed also highlights favorite songs and albums, concert memories like See.Hear.Now in Asbury Park, and answers the show’s “Mary question” about "Thunder Road." https://a.co/d/09b66cSm 00:00 Podcast Welcome 00:39 Meet Andy Freed 02:28 Growing Up With Music 03:13 Discovering Born to Run 06:19 Tour Talk And Politics 07:18 Career Path To Consulting 08:19 Why He Wrote The Book 09:48 Leadership Lessons From The Stage 15:01 Setlists Preparation And Purpose 19:08 Fan View On Predictable Setlists 23:35 Rehearsal And Great Teams 29:11 Audience First Leadership 32:04 Whats Next And Favorite Songs 34:41 Memorable Shows And Future Goals 36:46 Book Buzz And Band Connections 38:21 Thunder Road Mary Question 39:08 Where To Find Andy 40:01 Closing Thanks And Outro Learn more about your ad choices.
