• Ep.239: Organizations Under Pressure, Failing AI Strategies and the Lessons for Leaders, with Patrick Bell | Leadership Podcasts
    Jul 15 2026

    What does 'AI' look like when it's implemented well? What are the benefits to businesses and (more importantly) the end user? To help us try to find the answers, this week I'm joined by Patrick Bell, an AI transformation partner and doctoral AI researcher. We (mostly Patrick) dissect the operational friction behind corporate artificial intelligence adoption, why so many technical rollouts fail internally despite looking highly successful on the surface and the structural breaking points of organizations under pressure, with examples like the tension between automated customer support bots and human empathy, or the systemic failure of traditional educational models to adjust to high-velocity AI learning.

  • Ep.238: Fashion Tech, Sustainability and the Founder’s Journey; Pulling the Threads of Leadership, with Lacey Cadieux-McLean | Leadership
    Jul 8 2026

    A key topic of this week's episode is sustainability in fashion, fair to say, I'm about the least fashion-conscious person you know. So I'm opening this description with a thank you to this week's guest, Lacey Cadieux-McLean, for 1. patiently answering my silly questions on the subject, and 2. teaching me quite a few things I didn't know and had never thought about when it comes to something as simple as the clothes we wear and the impact they may be having on our health and the environment. We also find time to talk leadership, the challenges faced by new leaders, first-time founders and managers, through the lens of Lacey's own journey from project manager to founder.

  • Ep.237: Leadership in a Micro Company and Challenging Conventional Wisdom on Business Growth, with Joel Miller | Leadership Podcasts
    Jul 1 2026

    Today we're testing a few of the assumptions of entrepreneurship and leadership, from "fail fast" to "leaders have all the answers" and more, we might even be debunking and refuting some of these ideas, and discussing why they're actually a little bit toxic. I'm joined by guest, Joel Miller, co-founder (with his twin brother) of The Sky Floor, LLC. A marketing agency of two, which has a slightly contrarian view, a non-traditional take if you like, on business growth and how micro-companies can run. Joel shares his unconventional views on leadership and business, we chat about the importance of lifelong learning, the value of small business operations, the need to challenge common business clichés and how staying small can be a competitive advantage.

  • Ep.236: Finding Rest in a Busy World, Women’s Health, Burnout and a Challenge to Leadership, with Lesley Waldron | Leadership Podcasts

  • Ep.235: How to Lead Authentically, Address Your Inner Critic and Truly Thrive as a Leader, with Kurt Bush | Leadership Podcasts
    Jun 17 2026

    This week, my guest is Kurt Bush, a leadership coach and podcaster, and he shares some thoughts on the often-overlooked aspects of leadership, from understanding trauma to the differing challenges of leading volunteers and employees. And from the all-too-common struggle with the inner critic to more intentional decisions. We also talk about authenticity, alignment and core values in leadership, practical steps for personal transformation and how to overcome those inevitable feelings of isolation and imposter(ism?) in your new leadership role. We squeeze in some of the big leadership topics too, like work-life balance, difficult conversations, maintaining trust, curiosity and emotional intelligence, and some of our personal experiences.

  • Ep.233: Why Every Leader Needs a Great Network and How to Build One, with Kelly & James West and Kierney Chase | Leadership Podcasts
    Jun 3 2026

    One of the things I wish I'd started doing earlier is building networks. Particularly ones full of supportive, people-oriented people. Early in my career I was, at best, suspicious of the term 'networking' because I didn't really understand the concept and thought it was just a pushy sales thing... So imagine my surprise when I first joined ONLE Networking! It's the complete opposite of every bad networking story you've ever heard or experienced and the reason for that, in my opinion, comes down to it's founders. Which is a long-winded way of saying, those very people are on the podcast this week! I'm joined by Kelly, James, and Kierney to talk networking and its many benefits from business to mental health and beyond, leadership dos, don'ts and wherefores, the trials, tribulations, successes and joys of business... Journalism, love, basketball, Captain America and a whole bunch of other stuff I've probably forgotten to mention.
