From $0–$100M… to the Operating Table | Jeff Parnell’s Incredible CEO Comeback

What happens when a CEO who built companies from scratch to $100M suddenly ends up on the operating table for a heart transplant?

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Jeff Parnell—a seasoned executive with 30+ years in C-suite roles across digital marketing, consumer goods, B2B, and more. With 15 years as a CEO, Jeff has led major growth, turnarounds, and exits. But his greatest transformation came off the clock—when his life and leadership were tested in the most personal way.

Now, as a fractional CEO and advisor, Jeff helps companies in transition thrive with a sharp focus on execution and ROI—not theory. We also dive into his upcoming book, The Heart of Transition—a practical playbook for leaders navigating change the right way.

💡 If you're a founder, investor, or executive facing a major shift, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
