For every leader, there’s an Elevation. What's an elevation? A moment or series of moments of clarity that can be put into action to elevate your life or purpose. We elevate through empathy, respect, inspiration, impact, and maybe most of all, diversity of thought. Why do we do it? Leaders are taught to be so self-reliant, that they often lose themselves. We believe that clarity of purpose is a human necessity and that sharing is the best philosophy for leadership. We turn the challenges we face into conversations and those conversations into clarity.

In this revealing and high-stakes conversation, global HR strategist and trusted leadership advisor William Ingham—often called “The Kingmaker”—unpacks the unseen dynamics that determine who rises, who falls, and what defines legacy in today’s boardrooms.

    #134. Embodied Futures | Monika Bielskyte

    What if our vision of the future wasn’t a prediction… but an invitation? In this bold and thought-provoking conversation, speculative designer and futurist Monika Bielskyte challenges the narrow, one-size-fits-all narratives that dominate our visions of tomorrow. Known for her work at the intersection of technology, culture, and inclusion, Monika designs future worlds that are as compassionate as they are innovative, grounded in lived realities rather than hype or quick fix tech solutions. With expertise spanning generative AI, spatial computing, immersive media, and interface design, she examines both the opportunities and challenges of emerging technologies, especially as digital and physical worlds continue to blend. Her vision champions inclusive representation, accessibility, and a rethinking of policy, tech, and urban environments to serve most of humanity, not just a select few. From consulting for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever to advising the World Economic Forum, UNESCO, Microsoft, Nike, and more, Monika’s career bridges Hollywood storytelling and real-world future literacy. She’s spoken at institutions from CERN to the Royal Society, blending science, art, and activism into a compelling call for action. Whether you’re a policymaker, innovator, creative leader, or simply someone who refuses to accept the status quo, this episode invites you to reimagine not just what’s possible but what’s worth building. Listen now and discover how the futures we design can shape the present we live in. Thanks for tuning in to the ELEVATE Podcast. Sharing their lives, to elevate yours.

    EPISODE 4

    #135. The Movement of Joy | Eoin Finn

    What if the path to true health and happiness wasn’t about constant striving… but about subtraction? In this inspiring conversation, globally renowned yoga innovator and “blissologist” Eoin Finn shares how a life once driven by business success transformed into a mission to reconnect people with their bodies, their communities, and the natural world. From early days navigating high-pressure corporate life in Japan to creating the Blissology movement, Eoin’s journey is as much about letting go as it is about building up. Known for his playful, science-informed, and heart-led approach, Eoin explores how yoga, surfing, and nature immersion can help us release unnecessary tension, both physical and emotional, while creating what he calls a movement span: the ability to stay strong, mobile, and fully alive well into our later years. Drawing on decades of teaching across the globe—from Vancouver to Bali—he discusses: How connection (not extreme poses) is the true purpose of yogaWhy happiness is often a process of subtraction, not additionThe hidden cost of “golden handcuffs” and how to move beyond themHis concept of Hammock Enlightenment—finding stillness and joy without extremesHow we can reverse-engineer strength, mobility, and presence for any stage of lifeA surfer, teacher, and author of Yoga Optimized, Eoin blends ancient wisdom with biomechanics, storytelling, and modern science. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi, a midlife explorer seeking renewal, or someone simply curious how to live with more ease and vitality, this episode offers a refreshing perspective: you don’t need to strive for greatness, you can relax into it. Tune in now and rediscover the power of connection—to your body, your breath, your purpose, and the planet we all share. Thanks for tuning in to the ELEVATE Podcast.

    #136. Finding Strength in Vulnerability | Jaz Rowe

    What if the real beauty of life isn’t in perfection—but in being real? In this inspiring and unfiltered conversation, singer, model, and creative force Jaz Rowe opens up about her journey from reality TV fame to reclaiming her authentic voice. At just 23, she’s lived a lifetime—navigating the pressures of pageants, the spotlight of The Bachelor Indonesia, and the vulnerability of building a music career from the ground up. Jaz shares how rejection, criticism, and cultural duality became her greatest teachers. From turning down cosmetic surgery that could’ve “guaranteed” her a crown, to walking away from expectations of perfection, she reveals what it takes to build confidence in a world obsessed with image and approval. With humor, courage, and raw honesty, Jaz invites us to see beauty differently—to find strength in imperfection, purpose in vulnerability, and freedom in being unapologetically ourselves.

  6. A Relentless Pursuit: Leading Beyond the Roles We Play | Dian Sastrowardoyo

    EPISODE 6

    A Relentless Pursuit: Leading Beyond the Roles We Play | Dian Sastrowardoyo

    We’re taught to chase perfection. To get it right. To look successful. But what if that mindset is quietly holding us back? In this conversation, I sit down with Dian Sastrowardoyo — one of Asia’s most respected actors, producers, and cultural voices — to talk about what growth really looks like when no one’s watching. Dian has lived much of her life in the public eye. From childhood success as a model to national on-screen fame in leading roles with films like Ada Apa Dengan Cinta?, Kartini, and recent Netflix productions, to her celebrity marriage to one of Asia’s most successful entrepreneurs, Indra Sutowo. But behind the spotlight is something much deeper in Dian: a unquenchable commitment to growth, questioning, and evolving her perspectives — time and time again. Over our hour, we talked about: - How perfection creates pressure, not progress - When boredom unlocks new creativity - What lifelong learning and family really mean in a fast-moving world - The role stories play in shaping who we can become - And why the most grounded leaders stay curious, not certain, embracing mistakes This conversation together evolved swiftly beyond fame and achievement. And into the more pressing questions of how we stay aligned with our inner voice without losing ourselves along the way. Whether you’re leading a company, raising a family, creating something new, or navigating your next chapter — this episode will offer you pause, reflection, and maybe the spark to let go of the need to have it all figured out. As Dian says, “Growth doesn’t come from just getting it right. It comes from staying open to what is right.” Enjoy! Thanks for tuning in to the ELEVATE Podcast. Sharing their lives, to elevate yours.
