Sonnie Linebarger
Do you have an insatiable hunger for growth, knowledge, and elevating how you show up in business and in life?Are you curious how high-performing leaders think, operate, and navigate the real challenges that come with building, scaling, and leading?I’m Sonnie Linebarger, CEO and host of Evoke Greatness… a top 2% globally ranked business and leadership podcast fueled by curiosity, performance, and a deep fascination with the psychology behind great leadership.I’m a book nerd, a bit of a control enthusiast, and someone who believes that success is built as much internally as it is externally.On this podcast, we go beyond strategy. We explore the real conversations behind leadership, the decisions, the pressure, the growth, and the personal development required to execute at the highest level.We share the highs and lows and everything in between… because building something meaningful will stretch you in ways nothing else can.My hope is that something you hear resonates deeply, challenges how you think, and reminds you that you’re not in this alone.I believe that a rising tide raises all ships and I invite you along in this journey to Evoke Greatness!

My Health Journey: How my ambitious climb up the corporate ladder led me straight to Hashimoto's Disease
Send us Fan MailMy battle with Hashimoto's Disease has ranged from symptoms that appeared to be an anaphylactic reaction to severe brain fog to weight gain to losing my hair. I know...all the things we DON'T want to publicly talk about.Precisely why I wanted to share the story of the last 10 years or so and the health challenges that I have encountered. I haven't ever really shared the whole story. I am acutely aware that most of my health issues were self inflicted because I CHOSE to chase the ambition...and there is always a cost to pushing too hard and not listening to your body.Still, the traditional medical community still doesn't look deep enough to identify things like Hashimoto's. Make sure you have an MD you can trust and that you press when you need to in order to get answers. I have had far too many conversations with executive women in the last 6 months who struggled with burnout and major health crises. These things should NOT be our wake up call. They shouldn't have to be. I hope anyone who is having health challenges really hears this message and knows when their body is telling them to slow down a bit.We get one body and one go around in this beautiful life. Take good care of yourselves, friends!!Advertisements:Support for this episode is brought to you by MANSCAPED, the best in personal grooming.

Sonnie Linebarger on the Eating Crow Podcast with Pete Durand (Ep. 43)
Send us Fan MailI had the privilege of being on Pete Durand's podcast, Eating Crow, right after making the leap to leave the corporate world and jump in entrepreneurship. Take a listen as I am on the other side of the microphone this time!Sonnie Linebarger is intimidating......in a subtle "I eat nails for breakfast" sort of way.I've been following Sonnie for some time and when she agreed to be on the show I had an idea of where I wanted to take the episode...I was wrong.Sonnie is complex - wife, mother, seasoned and successful business executive.She's also a life-long learner.This really stayed with me during the episode - she's obsessed with, well, evoking greatness - first in herself, then others.She's registered nurse (in a PICU none-the-less, I've seen that first hand...wow) and spent years leading a hospice and palliative care organization.That's next-level compassion.Sonnie just left her corporate gig and is now out on her own, evoking leadership greatness.Sonnie is one of the sharpest people I've interviewed (that's a high bar).She's also a supermom and now an entrepreneur.Stay tuned.Make sure to go check out Pete's podcast, if you haven't yet: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/eating-crow/id1525092497Also some really cool Greatness Gear is now available in the store on my website.

Nate Randle: CEO of Gabb Wireless and One of the Most Genuine and Generous People on LinkedIn
Send us Fan MailNate is a stellar leader, husband, father, and frankly, just a great human. This interview far surpassed my expectations. For those of you who, like me, resonate deeply with being raised by a single parent...get your tissues and your heart ready for this.Within the first 5 minutes, Nate had taken over the podcast and had ME in tears...and then technical difficulties arose and kicked me out of the system. Like the consummate professionals we are, we hopped right back into the conversation and the magic continued as he shared his story.In this episode, Nate shares:· His story of being raised in a non-traditional, single parent environment and how that has impacted him as a person and a leader.· How his upbringing forged him into the husband and father he is today.· After losing his mom in a car accident at 9 years old, what he feels like was the most powerful lesson she instilled in him.· What is most important to him as the CEO of Gabb Wireless and their fight to minimize unnecessary exposure to our kids via traditional phones and unlimited access to the internet.· What he is most proud of in his first year with Gabb.· How he juggles life and maintains his non negotiables of tucking his kids in at bedtime.· How his faith has been an instrument in all that he does.
