The New Generation Leader - Your Tools for Winning in the Digital World Aaron Lee

Name something 70% of us have in common.


There aren’t many things, but our common dislike of doing laundry is one of them.


Founder Dan Feliciano and his team put together a gameplan, finding a mutual win-win between busy families looking to take back time, workers in the gig economy who don’t mind doing laundry and have extra capacity in their washer and dryer, and they built Clotheslyne.


Dan and I walked down memory lane in his career to insightful lessons from his decade in the Marines, his work in the oil industry, and how that experience and his family helped connect the dots to form Clotheslyne.


If you’ve ever wanted someone to do your laundry for you, Dan is your guy.

After we finished recording, I told Sarah she is one of the most humble yet smartest people I know.


Dr. Sarah-Soonling Blackburn has a PhD and decades of experience teaching and coaching teachers. Now, she brings this conversation about her background, her unique life story and experience with a mom who is Asian, a dad who is white American, and the intersection of those worlds.


In her upbringing, she lived and traveled around the world. The cultural differences that she watched and experienced gave her an opportunity to see the world, relationships, and people for who they are.


She grew to celebrate each person, and to elevate their unique, distinct differences. It's not a win-loss, zero-sum game. There's an opportunity for all of us to truly hear the stories of the people around us.


And that's what we're going to talk about today with Dr. Sarah-Soonling Blackburn.
