In this episode of Founders, Future, host Elliott Boll sits down with Will Samson, founder of Will Samson International, to explore the deeper layers of leadership, transformation, and sustainable business growth. Will shares his personal journey of overcoming struggles with addiction, rediscovering purpose, and transitioning from corporate change management to helping leaders navigate complex organizational transformations.

The conversation dives into the importance of depth over volume, how leaders can create long-term impact beyond short-term gains, and the key traits that set successful leaders apart—radical self-ownership, a strong internal narrative, and interdependence. Will also shares insights on the evolving landscape of mergers and acquisitions, the power of purpose-driven leadership, and why he’s shifting his focus to empowering individual leaders in 2025.

Closing with his favorite guiding principle—"Festina Lente" (Make Haste Slowly)—Will leaves listeners with a powerful reminder to be intentional and thoughtful in their growth.
