    Fight Like a Pilot, Lead Like a Senator with Martha McSally

    Martha McSally's life story reads like an action-packed novel—from losing her father at 12 to becoming America's first female fighter pilot in combat to serving as a U.S. Senator. But beneath these remarkable achievements lies a profound journey of self-discovery that offers wisdom for anyone struggling with identity, purpose, and leadership. For anyone ready to challenge their comfort zone or confront what’s holding them back, this conversation is an invitation to run toward the roar—to face the hard stuff head-on with courage and clarity. Martha reflects on the sudden loss of her father and his final words to “make him proud”—a mission that propelled her forward but eventually became a weight she had to release. With rare candor, she reveals how grief, grit, and rebellion shaped her path to the Air Force Academy, where she was told women were legally barred from becoming fighter pilots. Her reaction: “That’s exactly what I’m going to do.” Martha’s approach to leadership—whether commanding fighter missions or navigating Washington’s political turbulence—centers on authenticity, resilience, and mission-focus. She doesn’t sugarcoat her Senate experience, describing Congress as “a different combat zone” where she fought to lead with integrity despite a frustrating environment. “It was one of the highest honors of my life to be a U.S. Senator... and also the most frustrating thing I’ve done in my life.” Through the six lenses of identity, courage, purpose, leadership, failure, and freedom, Martha challenges leaders to strip away external expectations and get clear on who they really are. Her “I am” statements—unbreakable, courageous, generous—aren’t just affirmations, they’re anchors for decision-making in uncertain times. For leaders navigating post-pandemic complexities, Martha offers straight talk: your team has to “show up and work,” but leadership today also means creating spaces where creativity and sustainability coexist. She draws a powerful distinction between “whatever it takes” seasons and “good enough” rhythms—an essential mindset shift for long-term impact. Real leaders. Real stories. Real action. Martha’s journey is more than inspirational—it’s instructional. Her story proves that the most effective leadership isn’t about status or control; it’s about showing up with clarity, conviction, and compassion. Ready to explore your own edge?

    What Others Can't or Won't Do: Building a Resilient Family Business with Dan Costello

    There's nothing quite like a family recipe passed down through generations. When that recipe becomes the foundation of a thriving business that spans restaurants and nationwide retail distribution, the story gets even more fascinating. Dan Costello, CEO of Home Run Inn Pizza and fourth-generation family member, joins us to share the remarkable journey of this iconic Chicago brand. From humble beginnings on 31st Street where his Italian immigrant grandparents hosted Sunday family dinners, to now being available in grocery stores across all 50 states, the Home Run Inn story exemplifies how staying true to your roots while embracing innovation can lead to lasting success. What started accidentally in the 1950s when a customer requested partially-baked pizzas to take to his Wisconsin summer home has evolved into a frozen pizza powerhouse. Today, the CPG side represents 85–90% of the business, but the restaurants remain vital to their identity and serve as living laboratories for authentic Chicago-style pizza. Costello candidly discusses the challenges unique to family businesses, including a difficult succession process that ultimately led to one branch of the family exiting the business entirely. He shares how the company's core values of Family, Pride, Grit, and Courage guide decision-making through tough times, including the pandemic when protecting employees while meeting surging demand required transparent leadership. For any leader who’s ever felt alone in tough calls, Costello’s story offers a grounded look at what it means to run toward the roar—leaning into discomfort and uncertainty with clarity and conviction. His simple but powerful business philosophy: identify what you do that others can't or won't do. For Home Run Inn, it's their dough-aging process—a technique passed down from his grandfather that creates a distinctive taste competitors can't replicate in the frozen pizza market. While other brands develop products in R&D labs, Home Run Inn remains committed to recipes “born in a kitchen.” This is peer-powered disruption at its most personal—where family legacy meets operational excellence, and tradition fuels innovation. Ready to taste the difference four generations of pizza-making expertise brings to the table? Look for Home Run Inn in your local grocery freezer or visit one of their Chicago restaurants to experience this family legacy firsthand. 🎙️ Enjoyed this conversation?

    Leadership Lessons from the Financial Frontlines with Tom Casey

    Financial leadership isn't just about managing numbers—it's about navigating uncertainty and building resilience. In this candid conversation, Tom Casey draws from his remarkable journey as CFO at institutions including GE Capital, Washington Mutual, Clear Channel, and Lending Club to reveal what truly matters when steering organizations through transformation and crisis. Casey shares how his blue-collar upbringing instilled the relentless work ethic that became his professional signature. "No one's going to outwork me," he states, explaining how grit propelled him from humble beginnings to executive leadership. His evolution from an intense young professional who could "wear people out" to a strategic leader who builds high-performing teams offers powerful lessons in self-awareness and adaptation. At the heart of Casey's approach is what he calls the "competency wheel"—the expanding set of skills that exceptional CFOs develop throughout their careers. Early-career financial leaders might master only a quarter of these competencies, while seasoned executives learn to excel across the spectrum from technical accounting to strategic risk management. For companies seeking financial leadership, Casey emphasizes matching specific competencies to current business needs rather than expecting universal expertise. The relationship between financial leaders and their organizations takes center stage as Casey compares effective finance teams to a race car's braking system. "Why does a race car have big brakes? So it can go fast," he explains, challenging the notion that financial conservatism inherently restricts growth. For anyone ready to challenge their comfort zone, this perspective reframes robust financial controls as tools for confident acceleration—enabling leaders to speed ahead while retaining the ability to adjust course when necessary. In this light, the finance function is no longer the department of "no," but the enabler of strategic acceleration. Whether you're leading through uncertainty, building financial leadership capabilities, or seeking to strengthen decision-making processes, Casey's framework provides invaluable guidance for navigating today's complex business landscape with confidence and clarity. Real leaders. Real stories. Real action. This is more than theory—it's practical advice for those determined to make an impact. 🎙️ Enjoyed this conversation?
