“I've honestly had at least one aha moment for each of your episodes so far, which might not sound like much but is actually crazy to me with the amount of self development content I've consumed over the years.”

PODCAST
Leadership you can feel — in conversation.
I spent fifteen years leading inside Apple, Google, Tumblr, Airbnb, and Lyft — and I got fired four times. Now I coach leaders on what those years taught me: a steadier way to lead.
Each week we go inside the real conversations — with founders, executives, and leaders navigating layoffs, AI, and pressure — plus the occasional live coaching session. Expect real talk, real tools, and a calmer nervous system by the end of every episode. Steady. Let's go!

Braving Big Tech
A five-part audio docuseries.
Before the ongoing show, there's this.
Braving Big Tech is a deeply personal audio series about identity, ambition, fear, and learning to trust yourself inside high-pressure systems.
It's the foundation the rest of the show is built on — and the clearest expression of where this work comes from.
Many listeners tell me: "This is where things started to shift."
Less noise.
More space to be steady.
This show exists to offer that space — through honest conversation, grounded insight, and presence you can feel.
