  • Recovery, Resilience & Leading People with Tim Stein

    Recovery, Resilience & Leading People with Tim Stein
    May 8 2026
    The full episode dropped this week, but this moment was too good to leave on the cutting room floor. In this bonus cut, Tim goes a little deeper on what it really means to lead with a people-first mindset when the stakes are high and the work is personal. It's the kind of insight you don't get from a job description or a leadership book. It comes from the field, the boardroom, and the lived experience of someone who has been knocked down and gotten back up more than once. Short clip. Big takeaway. #15MinutesWith #BonusClip #TimStein #CHRO #MentalHealthMonth #HRLeadership #PeopleFirst #PodcastAlert

  • The Human Side of Leadership with Kumari Williams

    The Human Side of Leadership with Kumari Williams
    Apr 29 2026
    Caroline Wanga once said, "If you can't be who you are, where you are… change where you are not who you are!" Kumari Williams has spent a career making sure people don’t have to make that choice. For over two decades, she has helped organizations build spaces where people feel truly seen, genuinely valued, and free to be who they are… where they are. But here's what you need to know about Kumari… that passion didn't start in a HR. It wasn't born from a job description or shaped by a title. It was forged in community. In the intentional moments of raising two sons and deciding every single day to be purposeful about the kind of world she's helping to build for them. That's what makes her different. The belief came first. The career followed. She is a talent strategist. A thought leader. And by every account … a genuinely good human. We are focusing on 4 things... Who she is. What she does. What she believes. And how she works. Fifteen minutes of heart and laughter.

    Two-star general turned graduate program architect, Major General Matt Smith (Ret), joins to talk about what happens when a call to serve never expires... it just changes uniforms.

We'll explore what drove him to join, his time in investment banking, and why his greatest deployment might be building a first-of-its-kind business program that gives veterans something no one ever handed them: a bridge between the life they served and the life they've earned. If you've ever felt like your greatest experience gets lost in translation, if you believe that purpose doesn't retire when you do… this 15 minutes is for you.
