Welcome to the Business Growth Trailblazers Podcast! In today’s episode, we’ll talk about a new kind of leadership—one that’s rooted in resilience, guided by empathy, and powered by service.

Jeremiah “JJ” Hardy is a retired U.S. Army Warrant Officer, combat veteran, and the founder of Victory Leadership Coaching. With 18 years of military experience, three deployments, and a lifetime of resilience forged in adversity, JJ now trains leaders to lead with clarity, conviction, and purpose.

He’s the author of Speak Up. Show Up. Lead., host of multiple leadership podcasts, and the creator of the VOICES framework — a battle-tested system that equips new and seasoned leaders to rise under pressure, build resilient teams, and drive real impact.

JJ blends raw life experience with tactical leadership strategies to help veterans, first responders, and high-performing professionals become the kind of leaders people want to follow — especially when it’s hard.

Welcome to the Business Growth Trailblazers Podcast! In today’s episode, we’re helping successful women rediscover what they truly want—without throwing away the life they’ve built.

Kristy is a life and business coach with over six years of experience helping high-achieving women take control of their next chapter — with clarity, confidence, and a solid plan.

After two decades in a demanding corporate career, including senior leadership roles, she knows what it’s like to look successful on paper but feel stuck underneath it all. Now, through her business Emergent Coaching, she helps smart, capable women figure out what they really want — and then actually go and build it.

Her work blends mindset, strategy, and no-nonsense action. She’s not here to talk about manifesting your dream life — she’s here to help you map it, step into it, and make it real.

She’s the creator of The 5-Step Pivot Plan, and when she’s not coaching or building something new, she’s navigating teen parenting, walking her dog, and enjoying a well-earned glass of wine — usually in that order.
