  • The Power of Quiet Leadership—Action, Impact, and the Climate Crisis with Tenzin Seldon
    May 7 2025

    How do you lead with conviction—without losing your center?

    Tenzin Seldon is a global climate advocate, human rights leader, and one of the first Tibetan-Americans to rise through the ranks of elite institutions like Stanford and Oxford. But her story isn’t about prestige—it’s about purpose.

    Born to Tibetan refugee parents, Tenzin’s life has been shaped by activism, faith, and a deep connection to community. In this conversation, she shares what it means to be “the first,” how ritual and compassion help her stay grounded, and why indigenous wisdom is essential to solving the climate crisis.

    We explore the inner practices that support outer impact, and the tension between ambition and integrity. Tenzin offers a refreshing perspective—one that moves beyond fear and toward meaningful action.

    Originally recorded last fall, this episode feels more urgent than ever. As you listen, reflect on what it takes to stay rooted when the world feels uncertain—and how you show up when your values are tested.

  • Seattle Seahawks General Manager on Talent, Teamwork, and Tough Conversations | John Schneider
    Apr 30 2025

    What does it take to build one of the most respected teams in the NFL — and lead it with heart, grit, and humility?

    This episode is a special one. Recorded right in the heart of Seahawks territory in Seattle, I got to sit down with my friend, John Schneider, General Manager of the Seattle Seahawks.

    John has spent over a decade helping to build one of the NFL’s most competitive and consistent franchises—leading through authenticity, values, and a deep commitment to excellence. Having worked closely with John for nine seasons, including two unforgettable trips to the Super Bowl—I can share that he leads from the front. Nothing contrived, nothing manufactured. He leads by being himself and by caring about his teammates.

    What you’re going to hear in this conversation is a masterclass in leadership — grounded in football and deeply relevant to life. We talk about how John developed his values growing up in rural Wisconsin, the work ethic he learned from his dad, and the toughness he inherited from his mom. He shares how faith and humility anchor his decision-making, even when the pressure’s on and the spotlight’s bright.

    As you listen, I invite you to reflect on how you respond when things don’t go as planned. And how might a clearer, more values-driven approach shift the way you lead—in sport, in work, and even at home?

    Let’s dive in with the GM of the Seattle Seahawks, John Schneider.

  • Can You Reverse Aging? The Surprising Role of Skin in Longevity | Dr. Carolina Reis Oliveira
    Apr 23 2025

    What if our skin—our most visible organ—is actually one of the best gateways to longevity and vibrant health?

    This week’s guest is Dr. Carolina Reis Oliveira—a brilliant scientist, a bio-chemist with a focus in stem cells and tissue engineer who’s redefining what it means to age well. As co-founder and CEO of OneSkin, Carolina’s using cutting-edge biotechnology to not only improve how skin looks—but how it functions at the cellular level.

    This conversation isn’t just about skin. It’s about the mindset behind bold innovation. It’s about resilience, purpose, self-doubt, and what it takes to move through uncertainty when the stakes are high.

    As you listen, I invite you to tune into the psychology beneath her success. Ask yourself: What’s your relationship with aging? And where in your life might courage and conviction unlock something greater?

    I think you're going to love this conversation with Dr. Carolina Reis Oliveira.
