Elevate & Lead| 8-12-25| Dr. Yemi Akande-Bartsch

Elevate & Lead is a show where bold voices, real stories, and honest conversations collide. We unpack the truth behind reinvention, resilience, and leadership — not the curated highlight reel, but the messy middle where growth actually happens. Hosted by Jennifer Bardot, Kelly Chandler, and Mike Chandler, we explore what it takes to build something meaningful — after the title fades, after the plan breaks, and especially after failure strikes or setbacks derail the path forward. Because it’s in those moments, not the polished victories, where true leadership is born.
