“Soulutions for Earth” Podcast with Broderick Brown

Join Broderick and I as we dive into whole-person transformation in the executive world and all things Jedi: aïkido, body-mind simulators for navigating a VUCA world, the relationship between power, love and impact, and more generally the integral “OS upgrade” in our ways of being that current world challenges require from us as conscious leaders.
