Today's Leaders for Tomorrow's Future
A podcast to redefine the narrative about what it means to be a leader in society. You will hear a collection of stories about how people are making this world a better place for tomorrow’s future. Today’s leaders need not have an organizational leadership title. Their power rests in the people they serve, the communities they form, and in their ability to lead today. If you take only one thing away from this podcast it would be to see yourself as the leader you want and choose to be knowing that parts of you already are one.
