Every Leader Has a WTF moment. The Walk the Fire (WTF) moment is the crisis, crossroads or catalyst when “business as usual” stops working. It’s when you choose to stay stuck and play it safe...or reinvent and play it big. On Walk the Fire, entrepreneurs and executives get real about their WTF moments and discuss how they walked the fire, what burned away and what changed them as leaders. Past guests include New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors, entrepreneurs, and elite executives, such as: + Mark Victor Hansen – Co-Creator, Chicken Soup for the Soul + George Bryant – NYT-Bestselling Author, Growth Strategist + Karith Foster – Culture Consultant and Author + Stan Peake – Executive Coach & Author + Ryan James Miller – Executive Coach + David McGlennen – Leadership & Culture Strategist + Julie Ann Cairns – NYT-Bestselling Author + Tammy Barlette – Speaker and Retired Fighter Pilot About the Host Christie Turley is a CEO advisor, executive coach, and former C-suite executive who has started, scaled, and sold nine companies, achieving five exits and driving more than $3B in revenue. With experience across 75+ industries and clients ranging from high-growth startups to Fortune 500 brands worldwide, Christie has seen firsthand that the real catalyst for change isn’t marketing, sales, or systems... it’s leadership. How leaders hold their power, embody their personal brand, and walk through their own fires determines how far their organizations can go. Christie helps entrepreneurs and executives turn their WTF moments into reinvention and align their energy, intelligence, and influence with the impact they’re here to create. She is the author of The Intuition-Led Business and Quiet Quitting the BS, and an engaging speaker who has shared the stage with numerous New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors.
