    Buy Back Your Time: Escaping Founder Prison, Father-First Leadership & Redefining Success

    What happens when the business is winning, but your life is paying the price? George Rivera, founder of the Buy Back Time Formula, joins I Am Refocused Radio to unpack the hidden cost of being the founder who is always available. After helping generate hundreds of millions in online sales, including scaling a brand from zero to more than $200 million, George realized that success on paper did not automatically create freedom at home. In this conversation, George shares how he moved from being a constantly-on founder to becoming a Father-First Owner, redesigning his leadership through stronger operators, simpler systems, and clearer decision-making. Today, his work helps 7- and 8-figure founders escape “founder prison,” reclaim 10–20 hours each week, and build companies that can grow without sacrificing family, health, or faith. We also explore the Two-Week Vacation Test, why constantly being available can weaken both leadership and family relationships, what your children will ultimately remember, and how entrepreneurs can buy back their time without shrinking their ambition. This conversation challenges one of entrepreneurship’s biggest myths: success isn’t just about building a business that needs you. It may be about building one that can thrive without you. https://buybacktimeformula.com Leo's Interviews: https://leointerviews.com/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.

    Behind Masters and Vices: Gregory Mallard on Porn Addiction, Shame & the Reality of Independent Filmmaking

    British independent filmmaker Gregory Mallard joins I Am Refocused Radio to discuss the story behind his feature film Masters and Vices (2025), a project that explores porn addiction and the impact it can have on motivation, anxiety, reputation, relationships, and a person’s sense of self. Gregory shares why he chose to tackle such a difficult and often uncomfortable subject, what he learned while writing, directing, and producing the film, and the challenges that come with bringing an independent feature from an idea to the screen. We also explore the responsibility filmmakers carry when addressing sensitive topics, the realities of producing outside the traditional studio system, and Gregory’s interest in self-improvement and using storytelling to start conversations people may otherwise avoid. This is a conversation about filmmaking, addiction, consequences, personal growth, and having the courage to tell stories that challenge the audience.

    Take the Mask Off: Trevor Stevenson on Conscious Leadership, Freedom & the Power of Real Connection

    What happens when leaders stop performing, take the mask off, and start doing the deeper work? On this episode of I Am Refocused Radio, we sit down with Trevor Bryce Stevenson, Human Dynamics & Experience Specialist, executive coach, retreat facilitator, adventure guide, and founder of FUNdaMENtal Leadership. Trevor’s background is anything but conventional. Before spending more than two decades coaching leaders, he guided expeditions across four continents, including wilderness adventures, paddling experiences, overland journeys, and ocean crossings. Those experiences taught him how to read people under pressure, build trust, balance challenge with play, and create environments where people can move beyond what they thought was possible. For the past 21 years, Trevor has coached executives and teams in emotional intelligence, nervous system regulation, conscious leadership, and human dynamics across public service, healthcare, education, and the private sector. Today, he combines that leadership work with adventure and experiential learning to help people become healthier, more connected, and more effective leaders. Through his work, Trevor designs and facilitates leadership retreats for EO, YPO, TEC, MacKay CEO Forums, leadership teams, and independent peer groups, blending deep conversations, leadership development, adventure, connection, laughter, and reflection into experiences built to create lasting change. Trevor is also the founder of FUNdaMENtal, a brotherhood for men who are ready to stop performing, connect more honestly, carry less, and create healthier impact in their lives, families, relationships, and work. The community includes regular conversations, outdoor experiences, retreats, and opportunities for deeper personal growth. In this conversation, we explore authentic leadership, emotional intelligence, vulnerability, brotherhood, nervous system regulation, leadership under pressure, adventure, joy, relationships, burnout, personal freedom, and why some of the most powerful breakthroughs happen when people finally feel safe enough to be themselves. https://fundamentalleadership.ca/home Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.

    Flip the Switch: Dianna Fioravanti on Authentic Leadership, Courage & Breaking Through Limits

    What happens when success on paper is no longer enough, and you realize you’ve been playing it safe? On this episode of I Am Refocused Radio, Shemaiah Reed sits down with Dianna Fioravanti, an executive leader, keynote speaker, leadership mentor, TEDx speaker, and author of Flip the Switch: From Playing It Safe… to Crushing It!

Today, she leads thousands of logistics professionals while championing a leadership philosophy centered on authenticity, courage, resilience, empathy, and creating opportunities for others. Under her leadership, female executive representation increased from 15% to 50%, while the organization earned recognition for workplace culture, trusted leadership, and women-led workplaces.

This conversation is about more than climbing the corporate ladder.

    The Conversations Leaders Avoid: René Sonneveld on Family, Business, Trust & Legacy

    What happens when the biggest threat to a business, family, or leadership team isn’t strategy, money, or intelligence, but the things nobody is willing to say? On this episode of I Am Refocused Radio, Shemaiah Reed sits down with René Sonneveld, a former Fortune 500 executive turned ICF Master Certified Coach, author, and trusted advisor to executives, enterprise families, boards, and high performers around the world. René’s career has taken him from international tax law and global banking to senior leadership roles with organizations including UBS, Deutsche Bank, and Citibank, where he worked at the intersection of family business, governance, wealth, and generational legacy. René shares what years inside boardrooms and family enterprises taught him about the human side of leadership: unspoken tension, trust, succession, identity, emotional dynamics, difficult conversations, and the decisions that determine whether a legacy grows or fractures. We also explore ideas from his book The Elephant in the Family Room, which examines the emotional forces operating beneath the surface of family businesses, along with his forthcoming book Invisible Capital: Building the Family Enterprise of Tomorrow, scheduled for October 2026. This conversation goes beyond business strategy. It’s about developing the courage to address what everyone sees but no one wants to discuss, becoming a stronger leader, and building something that can outlive you. Because sometimes the most important conversation in the room is the one nobody is having. https://www.renesonneveld.com/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.
