Ready to rethink everything you thought you knew about leadership, power, and change? Dr. Patti Fletcher, transformation expert and author of "Disrupters: Success Strategies from Women Who Break the Mold," joins Andrew to dive deep into what it means to be a disruptor in today's world. With heartfelt reflections on her Armenian roots and a lineage shaped by survival, Patti shares how her calling to level the playing field—especially for women—became her life's work.

From navigating tech boardrooms to challenging systemic norms, Patti unpacks how embracing complexity and disruption can create powerful, equitable change.

Key Takeaways:
  • Disruption is not about rebellion—it's a purposeful response to ineffective, inequitable systems.
  • True transformation involves mindset and heartset shifts—not just adopting new tools.
  • Every leader must ask "Why am I disrupting?," and make sure they're on the right stage with the right audience.
  • Women often underestimate their power because they're conditioned to prove worth through service to others.
  • Real progress comes from incremental steps, not overnight revolutions.
