Mitch Daniels, Former Governor of Indiana
Not many people are able to have a highly successful career in politics, higher education, and business in their lifetime, but our latest Walker Webcast guest did just that. Willy was joined by Mitch Daniels, Former Governor of the State of Indiana and President Emeritus of Purdue University.
He and Willy discussed the details of his notable career – including his time as an executive at Eli Lilly and Company, deciding to run for governor of Indiana, and leaving politics to enter the higher education sphere – how he managed to find success in three distinct sectors, leadership lessons he’s learned along the way, next steps for the future, and much more. -
Andi Owen, Chief Executive Officer at MillerKnoll
On this episode of the Walker Webcast, we featured Willy’s highly anticipated interview with Andi Owen, CEO of MillerKnoll, a dynamic brand collective revolutionizing modern design to align with how we will live, work, and gather in the future.
She and Willy discussed lessons about life and leadership, her career history and how she successfully transitioned from the fashion industry into furniture design, competitive advantages AI presents us with and the importance of embracing change, the future of office and the importance of creating collaborative spaces, and much more. -
Anthony Shriver Founder, Chairman, & CEO of Best Buddies
In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, Willy was joined by Anthony Shriver, founder, chairman, and CEO of Best Buddies, the leading global organization dedicated to supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Inspired by his mother Eunice Kennedy Shriver who started Special Olympics, Anthony has taken Best Buddies from an idea to a leading global non-profit impacting millions of lives.
He and Willy discussed his upbringing and how his parents’ emphasis on giving back shaped him, the story behind creating Best Buddies and developing it into global movement, the importance of inclusion, the challenges of mental health, his commitment to faith and living a life of service, and much more. -
Joey Gonzalez, Barry's CEO
On this Walker Webcast, Willy was joined by Joey Gonzalez, CEO of Barry’s, one of the hottest studios in the fitness industry. It should be no surprise that Joey has facilitated the company’s exponential growth as CEO, considering he curated his own career from the ground up – starting as a client at the studio before becoming the company’s CEO years later.
He and Willy discussed his career trajectory beginning as a child actor and eventually climbing the ranks at Barry’s, the importance of community, the effect that the pandemic had on Barry’s as well as the group fitness industry, the company’s ambitious development strategy, how Barry’s has been able to thrive in a highly competitive landscape, what we can expect from the company in the next 5-10 years, and so much more.
