It wasn’t actually about the coffee.
It was about being real — and what happens when leaders stop performing and start actually connecting. 

In this episode, I unpack the egg white moment that sparked 80,000+ views… and why it resonated so deeply. We’ll talk about the pressure to be polished, the power of sharing the unfiltered truth, and why being human is one of the most strategic things you can do as a leader. 

If you’ve ever screwed something up and chose not to hide it?
That’s not a failure.
That’s leadership. 

ps. If you want to join the Friday F*ckup conversations, find me on LinkedIn! Most of the week we talk about how to be Strategically Unruly, but on Fridays, we share when it all goes wrong.

What happens when you drop the filter and say exactly what you're thinking? 

In this explosive episode of Get Unruly, I reveal how a single post with an F-bomb turned into a viral sensation - not because of the swearing, but because of the raw, unfiltered truth. 

Learn how breaking the rules can set you free, why playing it safe is killing your authenticity, and how one moment of radical honesty can change everything.

You’re not broken. You’re not bored.
 But something feels off — and it won’t go away. 

You’re still showing up. Still performing. Still carrying the room.
 But under the surface? There’s a quiet pull. A sense of… unsomething. 

That pull? It’s not a problem.
 It’s a signal. 

And what happens next — the voice in your head that says:
“Be realistic. Don’t ruin a good thing. Now’s not the time.”
That’s the rulebook. 

In this episode, I’ll show you how to spot the invisible rules that are limiting your leadership — even if everything looks great on paper. 

If you’ve been feeling the quiet tension between the life you built and the person you actually are… this is your starting point. 

And next week, we’ll dive into Radical Clarity — the first step in the Strategic Unruliness™ framework.

Did this episode help you discover one of the rules limiting you? I'd love to hear!

She’s been on the mic with me before — but never quite like this.

In this powerful return episode, I sit down with my daughter, Samantha, for a raw, unscripted conversation about something we’ve both lived: the pressure to shrink.

To dim our light.
 To tone it down.
 To make ourselves smaller — so other people feel more comfortable.

We talk about what that’s looked like in our lives, how it shows up differently across generations, and what it actually costs — in confidence, creativity, connection.

And then we talk about what happens when we finally stop.

This isn’t just about speaking up.
 It’s about taking up space. In rooms, in relationships, in the world.

If you’ve ever held back who you really are — this episode will hit home.

Press play. Then ask yourself: Where are you still shrinking? And what if you didn’t?

In this raw, unfiltered episode, Kim Bolourtchi exposes the invisible rule that’s been keeping high-achievers stuck:

 The lie that wanting more makes you ungrateful.

Desire isn’t selfish — it’s sacred.
And silencing it in the name of “being content” is the surest way to shrink your power.

If you’ve ever felt a quiet whisper that this isn’t it — that there’s more for you — this is your permission to stop pushing it down… and start listening.
