Breakfast Leadership Show

In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Jairo Borja, President and CEO of Borja Consulting Group, to explore how he's helping both entrepreneurs and nonprofits scale their impact. Dr. Borja shared details about his 90-Day Mastery Program—designed specifically for coaches and consultants ready to level up—and his curriculum development work with nonprofits focused on entrepreneurship. He also talked about his latest book, DealMaker: How to Easily Raise the Limit of Capital Deals, which has opened new speaking opportunities and platforms to share his knowledge. And yes, we even took a nostalgic detour back to our teenage years, remembering the long wait in line for WrestleMania 3 tickets during a frigid winter. Unexpected Wins from Group Sessions I shared how group coaching sessions often produce unexpected breakthroughs. Many participants, after just 9 weeks, find themselves launching businesses or uncovering opportunities they never planned for. The group environment fosters connection, networking, and accountability—elements that spark real momentum and transformation in a short amount of time. The Power of Accountability and Support in Coaching We dove into the structure and benefits of group coaching—weekly lessons, community support, and ongoing dialogue through platforms like WhatsApp. These elements keep participants engaged and focused. I stressed how small wins—like acting on a downloaded tool or applying a new framework—often lead to big shifts. Group coaching isn't just about content; it's about action and growth, powered by community. And yes, I couldn’t resist comparing the coach’s role to Paul Heyman’s legendary presence in wrestling—because every great performer needs a strategic voice in their corner. Mentorship and Peer Support: Game Changers for Growth We highlighted how peer support and mentorship aren’t just nice-to-haves—they’re often the missing piece that unlocks major breakthroughs. I shared personal stories where relationships and guidance made all the difference, especially in scaling nonprofit and business initiatives. These kinds of groups provide encouragement, real-time feedback, and actionable insights that accelerate success. Real Estate Lessons from DealMaker Dr. Borja also expanded on his book DealMaker, which chronicles his journey in real estate—from securing a 52-unit property in North Carolina to learning from failed deals in Allentown, Memphis, and Madera Beach. The book outlines strategies for accessing capital—like term loans, business credit lines, and self-directed IRAs—and it serves as a tool to attract coaching clients, enroll members into his "Elevation" program, or draw in passive investors. He also teased a busy speaking schedule, with events in Miami, Atlanta, and more—even during August, a month usually slow for conferences. Building Business Through Clear Communication I shared insights from my own recent speaking engagements, reflecting on the dynamics of in-person versus virtual events. One consistent truth: having a book is a game-changer. It builds instant credibility and creates powerful networking opportunities. I also emphasized the importance of refining your message when pitching for capital—and how being in a group coaching environment sharpens that message and broadens access to strategic resources. If you’ve read my book, I encourage you to share it with your own mentorship circle. The impact multiplies when we grow together. Why Small Business Still Matters We wrapped up with a discussion on the pivotal role small businesses play in the economy. With half of the Fortune 500 companies from the year 2000 now gone, it’s clear: agility, innovation, and community matter more than ever. Dr. Borja announced the launch of his next program cohort kicking off in late July or early August, and he’s welcoming new participants. You can connect with him directly via LinkedIn or visit Borja Consulting Group and Borja Capital to learn more.  

  In this dynamic episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, I sit down with Ted Santos—founder of Turnaround Investment Partners—for a powerful conversation on leadership, disruption, and transforming companies from the inside out. With over two decades of experience turning around distressed businesses and scaling organizations growing faster than they could handle, Ted brings a wealth of insight. He shares his early leadership journey as a COO in the transportation and translation sectors, where he radically improved operations by shifting culture and introducing new service lines. One standout story: how his lack of industry knowledge in translation actually became his superpower. Ted spearheaded cultural translation services for websites—an innovative leap that reshaped how companies approached global communications. That sparked a familiar theme for me. I reflected on my own healthcare leadership journey—stepping into the industry without direct experience. Sometimes, not knowing “how it’s always been done” is exactly what’s needed to drive game-changing innovation. Reimagining Growth Through Diverse Lenses We explored how bringing in external perspectives—whether from different industries, cultures, or life experiences—is a powerful way to break the echo chamber of internal assumptions. I shared a story from my days running a multicultural healthcare clinic, where dialogue and inclusion—not rigid policies—became the key to navigating cultural complexity and driving operational excellence. Ted offered insights on his disruption framework for organizations, helping leaders embrace volatility and turn it into a strategic advantage. Discomfort as a Catalyst for Innovation Ted and I went deep into why organizations must learn to disrupt themselves before the market does. Drawing on both history and personal experiences, Ted cited icons like Rockefeller and Ford, reminding us that lasting innovation doesn’t come from comfort zones—it comes from shaking them up. As leaders, we must be willing to challenge norms, ask uncomfortable questions, and reinvent systems. I added some examples from my own path—like pivoting to virtual events long before it became a necessity—and how that foresight unlocked unexpected growth. Leading With Boldness in a Changing World Ted laid out a compelling case for what he calls "disruptive leadership"—the ability to invent new possibilities and even “create problems” that force organizations to stretch. We discussed how leaders must confront blind spots (both personal and organizational), embrace continuous learning, and build the muscle to delegate strategically if they want to scale sustainably. Owning Your Narrative: Responsibility and Reinvention We closed on a deeply personal note—how early life experiences shape behavior, and how owning your story is the first step in transforming it. Ted and I unpacked the role of ego, unconscious patterns, and the necessity of unlearning behaviors that no longer serve our leadership. It’s a conversation about growth, yes—but more importantly, about responsibility. Innovation isn’t just about ideas—it’s about the inner work we do to lead ourselves and others through disruption. Connect with Ted Santos: Ted’s work is ideal for organizations navigating rapid change or seeking bold new strategies. If you're looking to challenge your current trajectory, this episode is your invitation to start. Ted Santos is the ultimate “Disruptor of Limits”—a bold strategist who trains and develops  CEOs and executives to stop solving problems and start creating them to fuel breakthroughs that redefine industries.   As the creator of the Disruptive Leadership Model, Ted flips conventional wisdom on its head, proving that chaos isn’t a threat—it’s the catalyst for transformation. With a track record of turning impossible visions into unstoppable growth, Ted challenges leaders to think bigger, act bolder, and turn uncertainty into opportunity.   Whether he’s helping businesses scale without breaking or reshaping corporate cultures to thrive under pressure, Ted is the go-to expert for leaders who refuse to settle for incremental growth and are ready to disrupt their way to dominance.

Evolving Leadership in a Tech-Driven Region In this episode, Michael chats with Mohamed—an Egyptian leader based in Saudi Arabia with a wealth of experience across the Middle East and Europe. The conversation explores the region’s tech-fueled transformation and how it’s reshaping business and leadership. With a young, dynamic population and a high-growth environment, the demand for leadership coaching is on the rise. Mohamed shared that leaders are realizing that information alone doesn’t drive transformation—coaching does. Michael added that resilient leadership thrives in spaces where people feel empowered to adapt and grow, especially in today’s fast-changing world. Coaching as a Catalyst for Leadership Growth Michael and Mohamed dive into why coaching is no longer optional—it's essential. Michael emphasized the power of being coachable and how reaching out to mentors can elevate a leader’s impact. Mohamed echoed this, noting that one of the biggest hurdles in leadership development is working with individuals unwilling to learn. Together, they highlighted how coaching unlocks personal clarity and drives sustainable leadership growth—though not everyone is ready to embrace the process. From Fear to the Front of the Room: A Nurse’s Speaking Breakthrough Michael shared an inspiring story of a nurse educator he once hired who struggled with public speaking. With encouragement and support, she stepped out of her comfort zone, pursued speaking opportunities, and eventually landed a leadership role in the healthcare system. The takeaway? When we identify and support the unique passions of our team, we unlock potential that transforms careers—and organizations. The Human Side of AI in Leadership AI may be changing how we work, but as Michael and Mohamed discussed, it can’t replace the human elements of leadership—empathy, coaching, and connection. Mohamed shared thoughtful insights on the evolving role of AI in the workplace and the need for leaders to remain adaptable. Michael noted that while AI can supercharge productivity and creativity, the true essence of leadership will always be rooted in relationships. Global Impact: Mercer’s Role in Leadership Development The episode wraps with a look at the global work Mohamed is doing with Mercer, helping shape the next generation of leaders through innovative coaching and development programs.

In this insightful episode, Michael D. Levitt explores the Square Management System Alignment Model, a framework by Matthew Person designed to foster organizational alignment without the need for micromanagement. Developed by Matthew from Town Square Advisors, this model is grounded in real-world executive and M&A experience. It focuses on aligning employee beliefs and behaviors with company systems to prevent culture drift and enable long-term, sustainable growth. Michael underscored the urgent need for such systems, sharing examples of organizations that significantly improved through alignment—not turnover—by earning employee trust and recognizing internal capability. The Power of “Constrained Independence” Matthew introduced the concept of constrained independence, a four-part management model built on Identity, Instruction, Intercommunication, and Information, with ten key operational elements. This framework helps leaders strike a balance between empowering staff and maintaining clarity. Listeners were invited to assess their own organizations using a free quiz at TownSquareAdvisors.com. Michael emphasized the importance of continuous monitoring and cultural measurement—warning that top-down approaches to diversity and alignment can sometimes lead to unintended tension unless rooted in authenticity and openness. Lessons from Championship Teams Drawing from professional sports, Michael shared a compelling analogy about leadership, team culture, and performance. While the 1990s New York Yankees focused on acquiring high-priced talent, it was the Boston Red Sox's commitment to balanced teams and deep culture, under leaders like Tito Francona, that ultimately led to their championships. The lesson? A deep bench, clear roles, and trust in your team’s abilities drive real, repeatable success. Trust, Decision-Making, and Human-Centered Leadership Trust emerged as a recurring theme—especially in how it empowers independent decision-making and employee engagement. Matthew contrasted toxic, high-constraint workplaces with cultures that reward initiative. Michael reflected on his own experience of being hired for his potential, not just his résumé, and how adaptable systems that honor both organizational needs and individual strengths pave the way for high-performance cultures. Hiring, Retention, and Thriving Work Environments With over 18 years of leadership experience, Michael emphasized the importance of cultivating an environment where employees can grow, not just work. Culture isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s about designing systems and environments where your people can thrive. He challenged the myth of a “correct culture,” advocating instead for cultural authenticity and values-based alignment tailored to each organization. Ethical Offboarding and Supporting Career Growth When it comes to letting people go, Michael shared his values-driven approach: treat exits with dignity, and support people in finding better fits elsewhere. Drawing on personal experiences from both sides of the table, he emphasized the long-term value of trust, transparency, and doing what’s best for the individual, even when it's a tough call. Culture Meets Data: Using Analytics to Lead Smarter To round out the discussion, Matthew dove into how the Square Management System uses analytics to assess culture across various organizational levels. This diagnostic tool is especially helpful for startups and mission-driven entrepreneurs aiming to build cohesive teams from the start. The system doesn’t promise perfection, but it delivers clarity—giving leaders the actionable insights they need to close culture gaps, improve communication, and align operations with purpose. Listeners are encouraged to explore the free tools and resources at TownSquare-Advisors.com.   Welcome to another episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, where we dive deep with leaders reshaping how we work, lead, and live.

Episode Summary: In this episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, the hosts explore the key themes from the recent article, “Redefining Workplace Culture: A Human-Centered Approach to Engagement and Wellbeing.” Serving as a pointed response to the 2025 Gallagher Workforce Trends Report, this conversation challenges surface-level interpretations of employee engagement, workplace culture, and inclusion initiatives—offering a bold alternative grounded in human-first leadership. The hosts question the validity of engagement metrics derived from surveys, calling out what they term the "engagement illusion"—a widespread misinterpretation that equates participation with satisfaction. They unpack the growing disconnect between career development and employee wellbeing, warning that promotion pipelines without adequate emotional and workload support can accelerate burnout rather than boost loyalty. In discussing I&D (Inclusion and Diversity) efforts, the conversation highlights how many initiatives fall short of meaningful impact, often skewing performative rather than truly transformative. Instead, the hosts emphasize the need for authentic inclusion practices that uplift underrepresented voices and embed equity into daily operations. They also examine the shifting expectations around flexible work arrangements, stressing that flexibility is no longer a luxury, it’s a baseline requirement for modern talent. The conversation moves beyond logistics, focusing on how to design flexible cultures that still promote connection, accountability, and performance. The core takeaway? Sustainable organizational performance doesn’t stem from patchwork solutions. It begins with systemic cultural change rooted in a genuine, human-centered approach to leadership and strategy. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why traditional engagement surveys can paint a misleading picture of employee satisfaction How burnout is often an unintended consequence of unchecked career growth pressure What makes the difference between performative and meaningful I&D efforts Why flexible work is now a fundamental expectation—not a competitive edge How to lead with empathy and redesign culture for long-term success Relevant Links & Resources: Read the full article: Redefining Workplace Culture Explore the Breakfast Leadership blog: https://BreakfastLeadership.com/blog Get the book Workplace Culture: https://amzn.to/4ofDBxQ For burnout solutions, check out Burnout Proof: https://amzn.to/4l3fW0M Subscribe & Follow: Stay tuned for more conversations on the Breakfast Leadership Show, where the hosts challenge conventional wisdom and explore powerful strategies to lead with clarity, compassion, and courage.

900 Episodes of Transformative Leadership In this special 900th episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, I take a moment to reflect with deep gratitude. Hosting nearly a thousand conversations with thought leaders, change-makers, and everyday champions has been a true honor. Each episode is rooted in one mission: Helping you lead a better life by navigating workplace stress, avoiding burnout, and stepping into the leader you were born to be. I also shared a bit of my own growth journey, including how I’ve intentionally reduced screen time to reclaim focus and calm. It's a reminder that real transformation often comes from the small, intentional changes we make daily. I invite you to ask yourself: What does your ideal life look like? And more importantly, What’s one step you can take today to move closer to it? Navigating Change with Purpose Change is inevitable—but how we respond is where our power lies. In this episode, I challenge listeners to stop waiting for the "right time" and start leading their own life transitions. Grab a journal and write it out: your goals, your challenges, and the specific actions required to create meaningful change in your career or life. Motivation can be fleeting, but discipline? That’s where the magic happens. Whether you're switching careers, developing a new skill set, or simply craving more balance, clarity begins when you commit to action. Visualize the outcome, get honest about the work required, and give yourself permission to evolve.

Unleashing Purpose and Prosperity with Pushkar Anand In this compelling episode, I sit down with Pushkar Anand, a transformational leader whose 15-year journey from high-achieving banker to purpose-driven author is nothing short of extraordinary. What began as a quest for personal success evolved into a mission to uplift humanity and empower others to unlock their highest potential. From Success-Seeker to Soul-Driven Leader Pushkar shares his evolution—rooted in voracious learning, with over 500 books read, countless seminars attended, and deep mentorship. His goal shifted from decoding the formula for success to creating a roadmap for others, helping them accelerate their growth without the long detour. His book is the result: a guide for those ready to step into their truth, purpose, and power. Authenticity as the Gateway to Purpose We dive into the heart of living authentically—what it really means to embody who you’re meant to be. Pushkar's core belief is that once you're aligned with your true self, abundance naturally follows. I add that living with purpose makes us more resilient, magnetic, and inspiring. The answers we seek aren’t “out there”—they live within us. Vibrational Alignment and Financial Freedom Pushkar breaks down how aligning your self-image with your financial vision can unlock exponential results. It’s not just about goal-setting—it’s about becoming the person who already has what they desire. By embracing “inspired action,” we can shift from hustle to harmony, planting seeds today for the wealth of tomorrow. The Power of Belief and Wealth Consciousness We unpack the deep power of self-belief, the rarity of human existence, and how our internal dialogue shapes our external reality. Pushkar introduces his “6 Statutes of Money,” challenging the myth that wealth is dependent on family background or formal education. The real key? Vibrational alignment and mindset mastery. Mastering Wealth Through Inner Work Pushkar explains that wealth isn't just earned—it’s tuned into. Financial success is the byproduct of purpose, belief, and inner alignment. One of his key principles: there’s no universal definition of “wealth”—it’s as unique as each person’s mission. Rewiring the subconscious can shift everything. A Book That Shifts Paradigms We close the conversation by exploring the impact of Pushkar's book—crafted to serve those ready to evolve. Whether you’re starting your journey or looking to deepen your alignment with purpose and prosperity, Pushkar invites listeners to explore more through his site: PushkarAnandsWorld.com, where you’ll find free resources, transformational programs, and tools to master your wealth from the inside out.  Pushkar Anand is the author of the #1 international bestseller Manifest Your Infinite Riches and founder of the Centre for Infinite Riches. Educated at the University of Cambridge and the London School of Economics, Pushkar was in the early stages of his traditional corporate career when a profound moment of insight in 2008 led him to evaluate his life expectations and priorities. This moment of insight set Pushkar on his quest as a seeker: an extraordinary quest of endless research and self-discovery that covered more than 500 books, thirty seminars, workshops and immersive learning experiences, and an intense four-year period of study with his teacher – Blaine Bartlett, whom he fondly addresses as Grandmaster B². Pushkar’s fifteen-year journey resulted in his founding the Centre for Infinite Riches and authoring Manifest Your Infinite Riches. The Centre is best defined as a movement; a movement, whose purpose is to Uplift Humanity by empowering everyone it touches to become the person they were always meant to be. The Centre’s vision is to uplift four million people by Pushkar’s 50th birthday on October 21, 2026 and 100 million people by Grandmaster B²’s 80th birthday on September 9, 2026. https://pushkaranandsworld.com/about/ Book:  Manifest Your Infinite Riches
