  • Leading with Heart at Global Scale with Brian Garish
    Oct 23 2025

    What if the secret to scaling leadership across 70,000 people wasn't strategy, but staying human?

    Rosie catches up with Brian Garish, an unapologetically people-first leader who brings equal parts strategy, humility, and heart. From mopping floors at Walgreens at 16 to guiding global teams across 20+ countries, Brian shares real talk about staying grounded, leading with courage, and putting purpose over ego.

    They dive into the art of listening at scale, why leadership is about how you make people feel, and how culture isn't what's on the wall, it's what happens in the halls.

    Laughter, reflection, and practical gems unfold, highlighting what it means to lead more humanely, whether at the helm of a global organization or creating impact in everyday spaces. 🐾

  • From Commander to Facilitator: Leading by Design with Alain Hunkins
    Oct 9 2025

    What if the real secret to great leadership isn't about being in charge, but about being in tune with people?

    Rosie sits down with Alain Hunkins, author of "Cracking the Leadership Code" and a man who's worked with over 3,000 leadership groups across 29 countries. Together, they explore what it really means to lead in today's world (hint: it's way less about commanding and way more about connecting).

    From redefining leadership as a learnable skill to unpacking the three Cs (Connection, Communication, and Collaboration), this episode dives deep into the systems, habits, and mindsets that create truly human workplaces. Alain challenges us to look in the mirror, get curious instead of defensive, and build workplaces where people actually want to show up.

    • Collaboration thrives on safety, energy, ownership, and purpose.
    • Great leaders operate by design, not default.
