We’re excited to welcome back author, Sam Horn, on today’s Leadership Foundry Podcast. She and co-host, Brandon Smith, discuss quips from her new book, “Talking on Eggshells.” It’s a great discussion for leaders looking to inspire their teams! 

Our founders are back together on this week’s podcast episode to discuss a topic we see many leaders struggling with today: personal brand. What does executive presence look like? What are the steps to repair a damaged brand so you can move on and move up? Listen as Brandon Smith and Randy Hain provide actionable insights. 

If you've tuned in to our latest podcast episodes, you're already familiar with Brandon recounting the story of conducting 360 interviews, during which one employee described their leader as a "modern CEO." Today, we have the privilege of hosting that very CEO, Rohit Verma from Crawford & Company, as our guest on the podcast. Join us as he delves into his remarkable career path, his experiences in steering a global enterprise across 70 diverse countries, and his insights on empowering your team.

As time evolves, so does the workplace. What essentials do modern leaders need today to stay connected with their teams, thereby nurturing trust and driving growth? Andrea Chilcote is CEO of Morning Star Ventures and Author of "What Leaders Need Now." On this episode of the podcast, she joins co-host, Brandon Smith, to share the three essential elements and practices covered in her book.

In the latest episode of The Leadership Foundry Podcast, our focus turns to the human element of leadership. Ciare James, Vice President, Brand Marketing at Bob Evans Farms poignantly reminds us that behind spreadsheets, behind computer screens and behind closed doors - we are human. This sentiment extends to those we lead, revealing the essential humanity of our team members. During the conversation, she and co-host, Brandon Smith, underscore the pivotal roles that courage, curiosity, and vulnerability play in fostering genuine connections within our teams.

Today's host, Brandon Smith, and returning guest, Glen Jackson of Jackson Spalding, discuss the five challenges modern leaders face today and how to step up to those obstacles.
