In this episode, Lisa and Julia Stamm discuss:

• Global power dynamics and narratives around AI (East vs. West, race to AGI)
• Fear, job loss, and collapsing trust in AI and institutions
• Responsible AI and women-led, problem-first innovation
• New leadership models: uncertainty, trust, and bottom-up transformation
• Concrete AI use cases in healthcare, safety, climate, and everyday life

Key Takeaways: 

• You can be excited about AI’s potential and still have a responsibility to question how it is built, governed, and deployed.
• Fear-driven narratives and “race” rhetoric around AI erode trust, especially when people see job losses but not tangible benefits in their own lives.
• The most promising AI solutions start from real, deeply understood problems and communities, not from the technology itself.
• Successful AI transformation inside organizations depends far more on trust, change management, and inclusive leadership than on the tools alone.
• Embracing uncertainty, inviting critical questions, and involving diverse expertise are essential if AI is to improve people’s lives instead of merely boosting efficiency.

“You can love technology and AI, and you should still ask questions.” - Julia Stamm

About Julia Stamm: Dr. Julia Stamm is a futurist, entrepreneur, and global advocate for responsible AI innovation. After leaving the European Commission a decade ago, she set out to ensure that technology and innovation serve humanity by aligning progress with human values and empowering people to shape the future, not simply react to it.

Lisa’s BOOK: Go!: Reboot Your Career in 90 Days

Show notes by Podcastologist: Francine Poblete

Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions. You're the expert. Your podcast will prove it.

After stepping away from executive life in 2024, Justin embarked on a year-long sabbatical focused on healing, creative expression, and redefining success. Today, he is the co-founder of Eleven Dunbar, a curated community built around deep connection, creativity, and intentional growth. His work centers on helping leaders move from burnout and survival into freedom, peace, joy, and authentic community.

In this episode, Lisa and Justin Davis discuss:

• Justin’s journey from early internet sales at Cisco to building AI systems that scaled to billions of users
• The power of mission, vision, and values in creating thriving company cultures
• Burnout, grief, and the identity crisis that followed stepping down as CEO
• The role of creative expression, nature, and stillness in rediscovering purpose
• Plant medicine, integration work, and confronting self-limiting belief systems

Key Takeaways: 

• Culture is not perks — it’s how people feel and how decisions are made when leadership isn’t in the room. Justin’s companies scaled globally because trust, growth, collaboration, and passion were embedded from day one and reinforced consistently.
• Burnout often hides behind achievement. Even while leading high-performing AI companies, Justin was privately navigating grief, anxiety, and exhaustion — a reminder that external success does not guarantee internal alignment.
• Creative expression and play are not luxuries; they are neurological and emotional necessities. Activities that move us out of our heads and into our bodies can rewire stress patterns and reconnect us to our authentic selves.
• Self-limiting beliefs formed in childhood quietly shape adult ambition and identity. Confronting and releasing those internal narratives can unlock profound freedom and emotional clarity.
• Integration is the real work of transformation. Whether through plant medicine, therapy, or major life shifts, lasting change comes from building daily rituals, habits, and routines that reinforce new awareness.

“The space by which you can expand internally, the spirit, the heart, the mind, is infinite.” - Justin Davis

In this episode, Lisa and Yamarie Negron discuss:

• Yamarie’s pivot from corporate marketing to trauma-informed coaching
• The difference between behavior change and identity-level transformation
• Awareness, acceptance, and alignment as non-linear phases of healing
• Boundaries, relational health, and expanding nervous system resilience
• Redefining success beyond achievement and external validation

Key Takeaways: 

• Healing is not a destination; it is a continuous journey back to wholeness. As Yamarie explains, transformation unfolds through ongoing awareness, acceptance, and alignment, not a single breakthrough moment.
• Many high achievers focus on changing behaviors without addressing the deeper identity and biological roots that fuel them. Lasting transformation requires working with the nervous system, not against it.
• Survival strategies like fixing, forcing, or operating from fear, obligation, guilt, and shame may have once kept us safe. But over time, they quietly erode capacity and limit relational and personal growth.
• Capacity is not just about time management. It’s about nervous system regulation, boundaries, and self-honoring choices. Expanding capacity requires both internal awareness and practical skill-building.
• True success evolves. For Yamarie, success is no longer defined by achievement or income alone, but by self-preservation, health, alignment, and honoring her well-being along the path.

“That's what acceptance is really about, is acknowledging the things that you can and cannot influence, impact, and change.” - Yamarie Negron

In this episode, Lisa and Rashida Malcolm Bradley discuss:

• Rashida’s career journey from investment banking to healthcare analytics leadership
• How AI, predictive analytics, and pricing strategy are reshaping healthcare decision-making
• The role of capital deployment in improving access, affordability, and health outcomes
• Navigating mission-driven work inside large, publicly traded organizations
• Defining success through alignment, balance, and servant leadership

Key Takeaways: 

• Healthcare outcomes are deeply influenced by how capital is allocated, and decisions are made behind the scenes. Rashida highlights how data transparency and analytics can drive more equitable and sustainable healthcare models.
• AI serves as a decision-support tool that enhances human judgment rather than replacing it. When used effectively, predictive analytics can improve affordability, access, and long-term patient outcomes.
• Mission-driven leadership is possible within large enterprises when leaders stay grounded in purpose. Rashida emphasizes keeping patient impact front and center, even while navigating financial and shareholder pressures.
• Career resilience in an AI-driven economy requires continuous upskilling and intentional networking. Investing in education and relationships allows professionals to stay relevant and create new opportunities.
• True success is defined by alignment between values, energy, and impact. For Rashida, leadership means serving others, mentoring the next generation, and creating balance across professional and personal life.

“You can measure success with titles, visibility, external validation, and those things are nice, don't get me wrong. But now I think about it from a sense of alignment in my values, my energy, and how I spend my time.” - Rashida Malcolm Bradley

Lisa’s BOOK: Go!: Reboot Your Career in 90 Days

Show notes by Podcastologist: Francine Poblete

Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions. You're the expert. Your podcast will prove it.

In this episode, Lisa and Sarah Porter discuss:

• Sarah’s journey from startup operator to founder after being diagnosed with POTS
• The systemic gaps in healthcare for patients with chronic and complex conditions
• How Boardwalk Health uses AI to reduce provider prep time and improve patient outcomes
• Managing energy, leadership, and entrepreneurship while living with a chronic illness
• Redefining success, legacy, and impact in healthcare innovation

Key Takeaways: 

• Personal pain can become a powerful catalyst for systemic change when paired with purpose and execution. Sarah’s experience navigating chronic illness revealed deep flaws in healthcare and inspired her to build a solution from the inside out.
• Chronic illness forces entrepreneurs to think differently about energy, sustainability, and leadership. Success often depends not on doing more, but on building safeguards, support systems, and intentional boundaries.
• AI can enhance, not replace, healthcare providers when designed to meet them within existing workflows. By reducing prep time and clarifying patient data, providers can focus on what matters most: care and connection.
• Early hiring decisions shape the trajectory of a startup more than founders often realize. Clear documentation, product vision, and role alignment are essential, especially for non-technical founders.
• True success goes beyond growth metrics and exits. For Sarah, impact is measured by lives improved, patients heard, and a healthcare system made more humane for future generations.

“Success is saying I found this huge thing that's broken in this big system, and I'm going to fix it, and it's going to impact all of these lives.” - Sarah Porter

In this episode, Lisa and Cindy DiTiberio discuss:

• How the pandemic inspired Cindy’s Substack: The Mother Lode
• Motherhood, marriage, and emotional overload during lockdown
• When therapy helps and when it harms in struggling relationships
• Recognizing covert narcissism and emotional abuse
• Healing, dating, and rediscovering joy in midlife

Key Takeaways: 

• The pandemic exposed many hidden inequalities in family systems and led to what Cindy calls “pandemic divorcees.”
• Sometimes, therapy reinforces unhealthy dynamics if a partner is not open to change or accountability.
• Emotional abuse and narcissism can be difficult to recognize until long after a relationship ends.
• Healing after divorce requires deep self-awareness, boundary-setting, and the courage to choose yourself.
• Rediscovering desire and joy in midlife through dating, storytelling, or self-expression is a powerful form of rebirth.
• Life after divorce is full of possibilities; reinvention is not failure but evolution.

“We can reinvent ourselves over and over and over again. Like, literally, I think that's what we're here to do, is just evolve and shed skins that that we've outgrown and move on to the next version of us.” - Cindy DiTiberio

Show notes by Podcastologist: Francine Poblete

In this episode, Lisa and Blake discuss:

• How online dating evolved and shifted after the pandemic
• The impact of AI, virtual influencers, and fake profiles on trust and safety
• How loneliness fuels engagement on dating and social apps
• The struggle for authenticity, chemistry, and real-world connection
• The thin line between innovation, addiction, and emotional fulfillment

Key Takeaways: 

• The pandemic accelerated digital intimacy, but it also reignited people’s longing for genuine, in-person experiences. While virtual dating offered convenience, it reminded many that real chemistry still happens face-to-face.
• Dating apps continue to evolve, yet the industry still grapples with maintaining a balance between engagement, safety, and authenticity. As features expand, user trust remains the hardest metric to scale.
• Artificial intelligence brings both promise and peril. It enhances profiles and personalizes experiences, yet also fuels the rise of fake personas that distort reality and blur the boundaries of truth online.
• Loneliness sits at the heart of modern connection. It’s the emotional engine driving users to swipe, match, and message—and the same challenge companies are constantly trying to solve.
• True chemistry and human connection can’t be replicated by technology. Algorithms may predict compatibility, but they can’t replace the energy, intuition, and magic of real human interaction.

“Chemistry—that’s the number one thing you can’t fake. I always say chemistry is the most important thing in every relationship, personal or business. You either have it or you don’t. Skills and everything else you can learn, but you either have a really good relationship with someone off the bat, or not.” - Blake Kuhre

Show notes by Podcastologist: Angelo Paul Tagama

Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions. You're the expert. Your podcast will prove it. 

In this episode, Lisa and Bara discuss:

• How overthinkers can reduce self-sabotage to increase joy and productivity
• The Positive Intelligence framework and its role in reshaping thought patterns
• Bara’s transition from engineering to transformational coaching and speaking
• Practical mindfulness techniques to handle overwhelm and unwanted change
• Redefining success, legacy, and what it means to live authentically

Key Takeaways: 

• Self-sabotage is often fueled by recurring thought patterns, but with awareness and deliberate shifts, individuals can move past these habits. This opens the door to greater fulfillment, confidence, and impact in both personal and professional life.
• The Positive Intelligence framework empowers people to access their “sage” mind—their clearest, most authentic self—rather than staying trapped in the limiting “saboteur” mode. By doing so, they gain clarity, emotional balance, and better decision-making.
• Mindfulness practices, such as pausing to notice physical sensations, help ground individuals in the present moment. This state of presence creates space for clearer thinking and more intentional actions.
• Success is no longer defined by titles, salaries, or external recognition. Instead, it’s about cultivating inner peace and joy that lead to a more sustainable and meaningful way of living.
• No one thrives alone—having trusted coaches, mentors, or supportive friends is essential when navigating change. These relationships provide guidance, perspective, and strength during life’s toughest transitions.

Show notes by Podcastologist: Angelo Paul Tagama

Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions. You're the expert. Your podcast will prove it.

In this episode, Lisa and Robyn discuss:

• Robyn’s book, The Three Permissions, and how it empowers self-leadership
• Why emotional literacy and energy alignment are critical to personal success
• How to redefine success across life seasons using core values
• Navigating the “sandwich season” of life—supporting both aging parents and grown children
• Practical tools and permission practices for managing failure, burnout, and change

Key Takeaways: 

• Success is fluid. What you once defined as success may no longer serve you—redefining it based on your current values and season of life creates deeper fulfillment.
• Awareness is where self-leadership begins. By noticing where your energy feels most aligned, you gain clarity on what truly matters and how to move forward with intention.
• Feelings are not obstacles—they're valuable information. When you develop emotional literacy, you gain the ability to navigate discomfort and stay connected to your growth.
• Failure is not final. Instead of avoiding it, embracing failure with curiosity and compassion can transform it into one of your greatest teachers.
• Permission is a catalyst for change. The moment you stop waiting for external validation and start allowing yourself to feel, fail, and fly—that’s when true agency begins, and others feel empowered to do the same.

“When you give yourself permission, other people get inspired to give themselves permission. And it's this amazing piece of impact that I think we sometimes forget, because we feel very inward-focused when we're focused on self-leadership, but it actually has a massive outward impact for others.”

In this episode, Lisa and Kate discuss:

• How Kate rediscovered her identity beyond being a CEO and trauma therapist
• The personal and professional shifts that came with chronic illness and burnout
• Redefining success from public recognition to quiet, sustainable impact
• The value of embodied healing practices and nature-based routines
• Practical tools for mental health recovery, including sensory kits and movement

Key Takeaways: 

• When leadership and service dominate your identity, it becomes easy to lose sight of who you are outside your professional role. Kate's journey highlights the importance of intentionally creating space for yourself to thrive.
• Success doesn’t always come with fanfare. Often, it’s the quiet, consistent contributions made away from the spotlight that create the most meaningful impact.
• Kate’s experience with chronic illness served as a turning point, forcing her to slow down and reassess what truly matters. That shift led her toward a life aligned with her values and capacity.
• True healing isn't found in perfect routines or instant fixes. Instead, it emerges slowly through presence, patience, and the repeated practice of nurturing your nervous system.
• Reconnecting with joy and spontaneity—whether through raising ducks, gardening, or playful movement—can revive the parts of you dulled by overwork or emotional exhaustion.

“The most rewarding part of this journey has been finally feeling at home in myself, like a little piece of calm has returned to my nervous system. There was a time I couldn’t imagine past the afternoon. Now, I can dream forward—and that sense of purpose fuels everything. Healing isn't about grand gestures; it's about choosing the little things—drinking water, taking vitamins, creating routines—and knowing those choices quietly change your life.”

In this episode, Lisa and Vikki discuss:

• Shifted from a corporate tech career to purpose-driven entrepreneurship
• Faced a breast cancer diagnosis weeks after retiring
• Reclaimed identity and strength through illness and healing
• Challenged toxic positivity with real, compassionate support strategies
• Redefined success through aligned, meaningful career reinvention

Key Takeaways: 

• Rather than derailing her ambitions, cancer became a turning point that reshaped how Vikki approached her goals—with intention, adaptability, and grit.
• Through a mosaic of small, consistent actions, resilience is revealed not as a single act of bravery, but as the discipline to keep choosing growth each day.
• Vulnerability is reframed as a strength, with the power to foster connection and recovery when asking for help becomes part of the healing process.
• The roadmap for showing up meaningfully—emphasizing clarity, respect for boundaries, and the rejection of performative positivity.
• Vikki’s story redefines career legacy, highlighting the freedom to walk away from prestige in favor of doing purpose-driven work that reflects who you’ve become.

“Cancer did not take away my goals. It just changed how I chased them.”

In this episode, Lisa and Dr. Al discuss:

• Intersection of a psychologist’s career, passions, and parenting in rare disease advocacy
• Challenges of navigating uncertainty and building resilience in rare disease communities
• Strategies for supporting families and accommodating invisible illnesses
• The paradox of isolation and connection in rare and misunderstood conditions
• Life lessons from overcoming odds and promoting compassion through lived experience

Key Takeaways: 

• Rare diseases and disabilities introduce constant uncertainty, yet it's within this unpredictability that individuals learn to adapt, drawing strength from shared experiences and building resilience through community connection.
• Supporting families facing rare diseases requires more than medical answers—it demands consistent empathy, thoughtful guidance, and the collective effort to create inclusive systems for invisible illnesses, often anchored in self-advocacy and patience.
• Though invisible conditions often isolate, they simultaneously create deep bonds among those who understand, revealing that solidarity can bloom in the quiet spaces of misunderstood struggles.
• Through Jack’s extraordinary life, we see how embracing limitations while celebrating small victories can inspire others to approach life with perspective, creativity, and inner strength despite overwhelming odds.
• True fulfillment lies not just in overcoming hardship but in sharing the wisdom gained—by spreading compassion, witnessing scientific breakthroughs, and choosing kindness, we leave behind a legacy greater than ourselves.

“And what I learned from my son and what I learned from following his lead and I learned from being his dad, was that I needed to turn my attention to what was possible. The doctors never told us that we would have any good days. They see kids when they're sick. We had to discover that we could have good days, too. And would. We had many more good days than bad days. Never in my wildest imagination could I have imagined back then all that would be possible.”

In this episode Lisa and Shannon discuss:

• Navigating PTSD and hypervigilance after Iraq deployment
• Advocating for chronic pain management and self-care
• Building supportive communities for veterans with shared experiences
• Prioritizing family and mental health over an unfulfilling career
• Empowering women through storytelling on podcasts

Key Takeaways: 

• Combat veterans often face persistent PTSD, hypervigilance, and complex challenges when seeking help, highlighting the enduring effects of military trauma.
• Unexpected deployments can lead to PTSD without a clear cause, creating a need for self-advocacy and resilience, especially for those managing disabilities and chronic pain.
• Supportive communities offer veterans a sense of connection and relief, helping them combat feelings of isolation through shared experiences.
• For many veterans, mental health takes priority over unfulfilling careers, especially when workplace stress exacerbates PTSD or feelings of undervalue.
• Hosting podcasts and sharing stories of resilience can provide veterans with a powerful way to find purpose and empowerment beyond traditional career paths.

“One of the biggest things I've discovered in sharing my experiences is just how many women are suffering in silence. I feel a moral imperative to hold space for other women with similar diagnoses, to provide a safe place for sharing our stories. Because we all have a story, right? And when we have these silent illnesses, we often feel so alone. Getting our stories out there helps others not feel so alone.”

We sometimes tell the story that my IQ dropped, but my EQ rose, and in retrospect, I'd rather have the latter. I'd rather love people more than machines and things, which is how I believe I may have been before.”

A respected thought leader and advocate for ‘The New P&L’ in Business one that is focused as much on ‘Principles & Leadership’ as it is on Profit & Loss’, Paul is on a global mission to rid businesses of their ‘vinyl values’ – empty slogans, propositions and statements that are as thin as the office walls they so often reside on, and replace them with an intentional commitment to authentic Purpose – one that helps to inspire leaders, engage employees and ignite innovation and growth.

Serving now that's for me. I think the older I've got, the more I've succeeded in serving, not in taking.”
