    From Broken to Regulated: Jordan Dunin on Recovery, Purpose, and Leadership

    Business Leaders of America Podcast Featuring Jordan Dunin Founder & CEO of HatchPath Episode Overview In this episode of the Business Leaders of America Podcast, we sit down with Jordan Dunin, Founder and CEO of HatchPath, author of The Regulated Leader, and an executive board member of the American Heart Association. After a diving accident at 20 years old led to years of significant health challenges and recovery, Jordan’s experience ultimately became the foundation for HatchPath, a human-centered coaching platform that connects individuals and organizations with personalized support across leadership, mental health, nutrition, fitness, and wellness. In this conversation, we explore Jordan’s journey, the importance of having the right people around you, and how his experience shaped his approach to resilience, burnout, leadership, and employee well-being. We also discuss what he has learned from working with U.S. Special Operations Forces, why he believes a leader’s internal state can influence an entire organization, and where he believes the broader wellness industry is headed. Notable Awards and Recognitions • Founder & CEO, HatchPath • Author of The Regulated Leader • Executive Board Member, American Heart Association How to connect with Jordan Dunin LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordan-dunin-4a63461b1/ Website: https://hatchpath.io/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jordandunin/ Book: https://www.amazon.com/Regulated-Leader-Understanding-Nervous-Changes/dp/B0GWD3TQZM Show Notes 01:38 — The accident that changed everything Jordan shares the story of the diving accident at 20 years old that resulted in a spinal injury and traumatic brain injury, followed by chronic Lyme disease, severe pain, depression, and years of struggling to regain his health. 03:12 — Finding a reason to keep going How years of searching for a quick fix eventually changed when Jordan met his wife, found something to live for, and began letting go of the need to immediately solve everything. 04:31 — The power of having the right people around you Why Jordan believes people aren't meant to navigate major challenges alone, how coaches, practitioners, mentors, and his support system helped him rebuild, and why empathy became such an important part of his approach. 06:49 — Why HatchPath was created Jordan explains how his own experience led to HatchPath, why he believes empathy is missing from many traditional approaches to healthcare and wellness, and why connecting people with someone who has actually experienced what they're facing can be so powerful. 09:59 — Building HatchPath by listening and adapting How Jordan learned to fail fast, listen to customers, pivot, and build around what people actually needed, including how burnout became one of the major problems HatchPath began helping organizations address. 12:16 — Making employee wellness part of company culture What separates organizations that genuinely invest in employee well-being from those simply checking a box, why cultural alignment matters, and how Jordan views coaching and wellness as an investment in a company's greatest asset, its people. 17:21 — Lessons from U.S. Special Operations Forces What Jordan learned from working with Special Operations personnel, their spouses, and caretakers, why purpose became such a consistent theme, and how having a clear “true north” can help people perform at a higher level. 24:17 — The regulated leader and responding instead of reacting Jordan explains co-regulation, how a leader's internal state can influence an entire organization, and why learning to regulate yourself and respond rather than react can fundamentally change the way you lead. 28:48 — The future of wellness and going back to the fundamentals Where Jordan believes HatchPath and the broader wellness industry are headed, why he expects the industry to move back toward foundational health practices, and how meditation, creating space, changing habits, and understanding the root causes behind issues like poor sleep can lead to better outcomes. 37:25 — Knowing what you are, who you serve, and what you stand for Jordan explains why knowing what HatchPath is and isn't has been critical to the company's growth, how he thinks about product-market fit and cultural alignment, why he has walked away from clients who weren't aligned with the mission, and how giving back and building a culture of care have become central to the company.

    Business Leaders of America Podcast Featuring Rick Barker Clarity Architect, CMO at Cool Springs Financial Episode Overview In this episode of the Business Leaders of America Podcast, we sit down with Rick Barker, Clarity Architect, bestselling author, speaker, entrepreneur, and Chief Marketing Officer at Cool Springs Financial. Rick has built his career across radio, music, marketing, consulting, and business, including serving as Taylor Swift’s manager early in her career. Along the way, he has developed a unique approach to helping people identify the real problem behind the problem, ask better questions, and find clarity around the challenges they are facing. Rick is also the author of AI for Humans, a book about using artificial intelligence as a thought partner while maintaining the human experience, judgment, creativity, and perspective that make the technology valuable. In this conversation, we explore Rick’s approach to clarity, the importance of asking better questions, why businesses need to understand exactly who they are trying to serve, and how AI can be used to help people think more effectively rather than simply give them answers. We also discuss the value of human experience in an increasingly AI-driven world, how companies can capture the knowledge of their most experienced people, and the power of putting other people’s needs ahead of your own, and how leading with service can create opportunities you never expected. Notable Awards and Recognitions • Chief Marketing Officer, Cool Springs Financial • Former manager of Taylor Swift early in her career • Bestselling author of AI for Humans • Speaker, entrepreneur, business consultant, and TEDx speaker How to connect with Rick Barker LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/clarityarchitect/ Website: https://rickbarker.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rickbarkermusic/ Email: rick@rickbarker.com Show Notes 01:57 — Recognizing opportunity when life takes an unexpected turn The lessons learned from a difficult childhood and an unconventional path, including why every situation is temporary and how learning to ask for help became an important part of moving forward. 05:20 — The strategy behind Taylor Swift's early growth The thinking behind the famous “let’s go meet 500,000 people” approach, why going directly to the audience mattered, and the importance of understanding and genuinely connecting with the end user. 09:33 — Finding the question underneath the problem How asking better questions can reveal that the problem you think you have may not actually be the real problem, and why working backward from the desired outcome can lead to a better solution. 12:59 — Using AI as a thought partner Why the first answer is rarely the best answer, how to challenge AI instead of simply accepting what it gives you, and why better inputs lead to better results. 16:02 — Who's in the car? The idea behind understanding exactly who you are trying to serve, why businesses often make the mistake of believing their product is for everyone, and how identifying the right audience can change the way you communicate. 20:42 — What becomes more valuable as AI evolves Why human experience, judgment, beliefs, and the ability to use technology effectively become increasingly important when everyone has access to the same tools. 23:51 — Turning experience into organizational knowledge How AI can help capture the knowledge of experienced employees and make that information accessible to the next generation, while creating a system that helps organizations retain and develop their best people. 33:47 — Putting other people's needs ahead of your own A lesson about how shifting the focus from “what's in it for me?” to “what can I do to help you?” can create opportunities you never expected and change the direction of your own career. 40:14 — Using AI to become more human Why AI for Humans isn't simply about learning how to use artificial intelligence, but about using it to become a better listener, ask better questions, and improve the way you communicate and serve others. 45:19 — Helping people learn instead of giving them the answer Why AI should be used to help people understand and reach an answer rather than simply handing them one, and how co-creation and ownership can make people more engaged in the outcome.
