From Serial CEO to Executive Coach — Richard Bandell

Quant Mind. Shaman Soul. I spent 15 years in banking before I finally said the two words that changed everything: f*ck it. I quit. Now I'm an executive coach, a recovering risk manager, and someone who genuinely believes most people are quietly waiting for permission to want more than the life they've settled into. This podcast is where we say the quiet part out loud. I'm Daniele Forni, and The Data Shaman is my space to explore the gap between who we are inside and who we perform at work, and what happens when we finally close it. It's part honest conversation, part field guide, and always real. No gurus, no highlight reels, just people telling the truth about their lives and their work. In Season 1, I sat down with coaches to unpack how transformation actually happens. What really shifts when someone changes, how the best coaches think, and the messy, human work behind helping people grow. You can listen to it now! Upcoming is Season 2, titled F*ck it, I Quit. It's about the moment people stop pretending and walk away from the safe job, the safe career, the safe identity, and what they build on the other side. Through my own story and candid conversations with people who leapt before they felt ready, every episode is a small dose of courage for anyone wondering, is this really it? If you've ever felt the crack between your outside life and your inside one, you're in the right place. Spreadsheets and soul. Pull up a chair. Hit subscribe and transform the way you look at your potential.
