In this episode, we sit down with Glen Galaich, CEO of the Stupski Foundation, co-host of Break Fake Rules, and author of In Control: Why Big Giving Falls Short. Glen brings a rare insider’s perspective to modern philanthropy, shaped by years in human rights, academia, fundraising, and foundation leadership. His work challenges some of the deepest assumptions behind institutional giving and asks whether wealth is really being used in service of the public good.

Our conversation explores why so much philanthropic money remains locked up while communities face urgent needs, and how a culture of control often keeps foundations from listening well or acting boldly. We talk about the fake rules that govern giving, the danger of prioritizing perpetuity over humanity, and the mindset shift required to move from top-down decision-making to community-led action. Glen makes a powerful case that better outcomes begin when leaders reflect honestly, listen deeply, and loosen their grip.

In this episode, we sit down with Jeremie Kubicek, globally recognized speaker, author, leadership expert, and co-founder of Giant Worldwide. Jeremie has spent decades helping leaders and organizations build healthier cultures through trust, self-awareness, and practical people development. His latest book, The Voice Driven Leader, brings that mission into sharp focus by showing how better communication starts with understanding how other people are wired.

Our conversation goes far beyond leadership theory. Jeremie shares how life-altering experiences, from living through chaos in post-Soviet Russia to surviving a devastating near-fatal accident, reshaped his view of ambition, performance, and influence.

From there, we explore the Five Voices framework and how leaders can stop pushing people to respond like they would and start speaking in ways others can actually hear. We also get into how AI can support that process, not by replacing human connection, but by helping us become more curious, thoughtful, and effective in the way we lead.

“I do something called ‘a call up’. When I'm in the shower, I call myself up into who I am and my identity and I get rid of any negativity that's in my mind, in my life”

In this episode, we sit down with Kevin Anderson, a national bestselling author, number one New York Times bestselling editor, entrepreneur, investor, and founder of Kevin Anderson & Associates. Kevin has built multiple seven and eight figure businesses across the U.S., the U.K., and the EU, but his path did not begin with a master plan. What makes his story so compelling is how curiosity, problem-solving, and a willingness to say yes to opportunity shaped a career helping others turn their ideas into books.

Our conversation explores why writing a book is far more accessible than most people think, and why expertise does not require perfection. Kevin explains that many people already have wisdom worth sharing, especially for those just a few steps behind them. We also get into the real limits of AI in the publishing world, why authentic voice still matters, and how aspiring authors can avoid one of the biggest mistakes people make: waiting too long to get professional guidance.

This is a thoughtful look at authorship, authority, and the power of finally getting your story out into the world.
