Lead Human with Jack Myers and Tim Spengler Why the Best Leaders Need “Soul Fuel” | Camille Fetter on Work, Empathy & AI
What if empathy isn’t a soft skill at all—but the foundation of better leadership, hiring, and performance?
In this episode of Lead Human, Jack Myers and Tim Spengler sit down with Camille Fetter, CEO of TalentFoot, to talk about executive search, vulnerability, compensation, change leadership, and what companies are really looking for in the age of AI.
Camille explains why she sees empathy as the input and executive search as the output, why the goal is to find not just the best executive but the best human, and why leaders need to focus on being relatable, not performatively vulnerable. She also talks about measurable KPIs, how organizations are increasingly hiring for change-agent pedigrees, and why younger professionals should lean hard into AI fluency if they want to stay marketable.
The conversation also explores education, reinvention, and what it means to build a career that gives you what Jack calls “soul fuel.” If you’re navigating leadership, hiring, AI, or the future of work, this episode offers a grounded and very human perspective.
