What mountain are you climbing, and does it still align with the life and leadership journey you want?

In this episode of Exit Coach Radio, Bill Black talks with Tony Martignetti, leadership coach, entrepreneur, and former finance and strategy executive, about purpose-driven leadership, navigating change, and helping leaders unlock their true potential.

Tony shares how leaders can find greater clarity, become more fully present, and make more intentional decisions about their careers, businesses, and lives. Drawing from his experience in coaching, finance, strategy, and entrepreneurship, he offers perspective on what it means to lead with inspired purpose and why self-awareness matters so much during times of transition and growth.

This conversation is especially valuable for business owners, executives, and professionals who are asking deeper questions about direction, fulfillment, leadership impact, and what comes next. It is also relevant for leaders navigating change who want to align success with meaning rather than simply momentum.

Topics include:

purpose-driven leadership

clarity and self-awareness

leadership during change

personal and professional growth

inspired decision-making
