In this episode of the Rise Up For You Podcast, CEO Nada Lena Nasserdeen sits down with entrepreneur, speaker, and business leader Mike Schoenberger, CEO and founder of Sunco Communication and Installation. Mike shares his journey from a shy teenager who struggled with confidence to becoming a purpose driven leader focused on real human connection and what he calls radical love leadership.

Nada and Mike explore how leadership evolves when leaders move beyond traditional performance driven mindsets and begin leading with authenticity, vulnerability, and empathy. Mike shares the personal experiences that reshaped how he approaches leadership and explains why meaningful human connection is one of the most powerful drivers of trust, culture, and business growth.

Throughout the conversation, Mike introduces his philosophy of radical love leadership and explains how leaders can strengthen their connection to themselves and others. He uses the concept of signal strength as a metaphor for self awareness and emotional alignment, showing how leaders who invest in reflection and inner clarity can dramatically improve the way they communicate, influence, and inspire their teams.

You will also hear practical insights on self reflection, internal dialogue, and why many executives struggle with vulnerability in leadership. Mike shares simple practices leaders can use to pause, reflect, and evaluate whether they are leading from a place of fear or from a place of purpose and connection.

This conversation highlights an important truth about leadership today. Sustainable growth and transformation do not come only from strategy or systems. They come from leaders who understand themselves, build trust with others, and lead with authenticity and intention.
