    Disrupt the Idea of a Single Path with Colleen Brown and Pierce Brown

    What if success doesn’t follow a single path?  In this episode of Disruption Lab, Patrick sits down with Colleen Brown and her son Pierce Brown for a conversation that highlights two very different journeys, both pursued with clarity and intention.  Colleen has led at the highest levels as a CEO and board member. Pierce has built a global following as the author of the Red Rising series. Their careers look nothing alike, and that is exactly the point.  This conversation will push you to disrupt the belief that there is one right way to build a meaningful life. You will hear how each of them found and committed to their own path, how they think about their work, and how they continue to grow without trying to become someone else.  What stands out most is the dynamic between them. There is a deep sense of respect, admiration, and appreciation for each other’s journey. It is a reminder that we do not have to choose the same path to support, value, and learn from one another.  If you are navigating your own direction, this episode offers a grounded perspective. You do not need a single path. You need your path, and the awareness to recognize and respect it in others.  Learn more about Pierce’s work at https://www.piercebrown.com

    Disrupt Stress & Joy with Amy Leneker

    What if the stress you’re feeling isn’t something to manage but something to rethink entirely?  In this episode of Disruption Lab, Patrick sits down with Amy Leneker to explore how our relationship with stress shapes the way we show up at work and in life. Too often, we treat stress as the enemy and joy as something we will get to later. Amy challenges that thinking and offers a more practical approach that helps you navigate pressure without losing yourself in the process.  This conversation will push you to disrupt the way you think about stress, success, and what it means to enjoy the life you are building.  Amy is the author of Cheers to Monday, where she shares insights and tools to help people create more energy, clarity, and fulfillment in their everyday lives.

    Disrupt Your Measure for Success with New York Times bestselling author Jim Murphy

    In this conversation, Patrick sits down with Jim, a former professional athlete and a sought-after coach at the highest levels of sport and beyond, to explore the ideas behind his earlier work Inner Excellence and his newly released book The Best Possible Life. Together, they dig into the hidden barriers that often get in our way when we are striving for something meaningful. Along the way, Patrick shares honestly how he sometimes “sabotages” himself. Jim challenges that framing and offers a more useful way to think about it, giving language that shifts how we see our own behavior and potential. If you are trying to do meaningful work, make a difference, or simply live a fuller life, this episode is a thoughtful look at what it really means to disrupt yourself and redefine success on your own terms.

    Disrupt Limits with Lucy Westlake

    Lucy Westlake is the youngest North American woman to summit Mount Everest. But this episode isn’t just about climbing mountains. It’s about what happens when a father-daughter relationship evolves from guide and follower to peers… and eventually to independence. We talk about Denali, Kilimanjaro, and summiting every U.S. high point together. But more importantly, we explore what it means to choose your own path, follow your passions, and step forward when it’s time to climb on your own. A powerful conversation about growth, identity, and the courage to chart your own course.

    Disrupting Your Life for Good with James Patterson

    In this episode of Disruption Lab, I sit down with James Patterson, one of the world’s most prolific and widely read authors, to talk about the ideas behind our New York Times bestselling book Disrupt Everything and Win. This conversation is less of an interview and more of a back-and-forth dialogue. We discuss why we took on this project, what we discovered along the way, and why disruption is not something to fear but something to engage with intentionally. We also explore what it means to disrupt your life for good: making choices that align with what matters most, challenging the status quo in thoughtful ways, and taking ownership of the path ahead. If you are looking to think differently about change, leadership, and how to create a life of meaning and impact, this conversation offers a practical and personal starting point.

    Disrupting Leadership by Putting People First with Bob Chapman

    “What if leadership isn’t about driving results, but about caring for people? On this episode of The Disruption Lab, Patrick Leddin sits down with Bob Chapman, Chairman and former CEO of Barry-Wehmiller, to explore a radically different approach to leading people and building organizations. Bob has spent decades transforming a $3.6 billion global company by embracing what he calls “Truly Human Leadership”—a philosophy grounded in a simple but profound belief: every person in your organization is “somebody’s precious child,” entrusted to your care. In this conversation, Bob shares the pivotal moment that forced him to rethink everything he believed about leadership, moving from a traditional, numbers-driven mindset to one centered on stewardship, dignity, and human impact. He reflects on what he had to unlearn, the resistance he faced, and how this shift didn’t just change culture—it improved performance. Patrick and Bob also discuss the newly expanded 10th-anniversary edition of Everybody Matters, now re-released with new stories, insights, and data from another decade of applying these ideas in the real world.”

  7. Disrupt the Way You Show Up with Ashley Herd

    Disrupt the Way You Show Up with Ashley Herd

    The way people behave at work does not stay at work. The way we are treated by our boss, our colleagues, and the people we lead changes how we show up everywhere else. It shapes our mood, our confidence, and the way we interact with the people we care about most. In other words, behavior at work creates ripple effects far beyond the office. In this episode of Disruption Lab, Patrick Leddin sits down with Ashley Herd, former Head of HR for McKinsey & Company and the founder of Manager Method. Ashley has spent her career helping organizations rethink how managers lead and how workplaces shape the people inside them. Ashley shares insights from her work and her book The Manager Method, explaining why management is one of the most underestimated forces shaping culture, performance, and people's daily experience at work. She also discusses how small shifts in leadership behavior can disrupt unhealthy patterns and create environments where people perform better and live better. This conversation explores a simple but powerful idea: when leaders change how they treat people at work, they change how those people show up everywhere else in life.
