Elona shares her personal story of immigrating to the U.S. as a teenager, climbing the corporate ladder, and ultimately venturing into entrepreneurship due to a shift in company culture. She emphasizes the importance of following one's purpose and passion in driving decisions and success.

The conversation deepens into Elona's book, "Visionary Purpose-Driven Leadership," which serves as a practical guide for leaders. It outlines the seven foundational pillars, each offering tangible strategies for success. These pillars include conscious leadership, creating a conscious culture, aligning purpose and profit, fostering innovation and creativity, strategic growth, adapting to the future of work, and leaving a lasting legacy.
