In this special conversation recorded LIVE at the 2025 Revive and Thrive Empowerment Summit, I sit down with my friend and mentor, the incredible Tricia Brouk, to share something I’ve been working on and marks the official launch of The Business Leaders Hub.

For years, I’ve worked with organizations, executives, and teams to transform the way they lead. What I’ve seen time and again is that true leadership isn’t about titles or hierarchy, it’s about self-awareness, courage, and a commitment to impact. That’s why I created The Business Leaders Hub: a global community where leaders can access the tools, training, and support they need to grow, rise, and create meaningful change in the future of work.

During our conversation, Tricia and I dive into what leadership really looks like today. We talk about why the old models don’t work anymore, and why I created Rebel Leadership and how embracing values like trust, inclusion, and belonging can completely shift a company’s culture. I also share what’s inside the Business Leaders Hub, from on-demand training and curated resources to live group coaching with a diverse lineup of experts, all designed to help leaders step into their fullest potential.

If you’re ready to lead differently and join a community that’s rising together, this episode is your invitation.
