Unfazed Under Fire Podcast
Welcome to Unfazed Under Fire, a podcast designed to help senior executives lead with greater impact, resilience, and well-being. Each episode is rooted in proven, systemic frameworks that empower leaders to achieve extraordinary results, foster high-performing cultures, and thrive in today’s complex and unpredictable business environment.
I created this podcast for two key reasons:
First, to provide executives with leadership principles and culture-enhancing frameworks that support them in turning their visions into reality and achieving their goals.
Second, to challenge and inspire the leadership development and executive coaching fields to adopt new approaches—particularly breakthroughs in neuroscience—that accelerate growth and enhance leadership effectiveness.
In a time of global crisis and unprecedented challenges, business leaders are uniquely positioned to drive change that unites rather than divides. By embodying enlightened leadership, executives can create environments that unlock the full potential of their teams and generate innovative solutions for a better future.
If you're an executive committed to this kind of leadership, this podcast is for you. Let’s shape the future of leadership together.

Hello Unf azed Under Fire community. The podcast is taking a break for the Thanksgiving holiday week, yet as we head into this week of gratitude, I want to take a moment to reflect and give thanks.

Their stories and insights have truly been inspiring and impactful to our listeners. Looking ahead, we have an exciting lineup of guests that I can't wait to share with you in the coming weeks.

Her story is a powerful testament to resilience and breaking barriers and a demonstration of how inspiration combines with the human spirit to overcome all obstacles.

Nate brings a unique perspective on leadership, balancing high-stakes decision-making with a commitment to service. Neil Morris will be joining us and he's a visionary in digital information enterprise architecture. Neil will share transformational insights on how technology is reshaping industries and leadership approaches. And finally, I'm excited to announce that we'll be reconvening next week and be joined by Sarah Carlson. Sarah is a seasoned executive coach who specializes in helping leaders navigate complex transitions with clarity and confidence. She'll bring a wealth of wisdom to the show, and you won't want to miss that.

Lastly, I'd like to send a heartfelt prayer for peace out to our world.

May God look over us and pave the way back to unity. Again, thank you for being a loyal listener to the show. Your support again means the world to me, and I look forward to being back with you next week with Sarah. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
