In this episode of Leaders, a Network Marketing Podcast, host Keith Callahan sits down with longtime friend and industry powerhouse LeeAnne Ruff for a bold conversation on leadership, resilience, and navigating change in uncertain times.

LeeAnne opens up about the mindset cracks forming across the industry, why belief is the most underdeveloped skill in leadership, and how a single Facebook post unexpectedly sparked a movement. She and Keith unpack what it means to lead with conviction when things feel shaky, how to help your team rediscover joy in the product, and why connection, not strategy, is still the greatest currency in our business.

Together, they challenge the fear-based narratives, spotlight what’s still possible in this profession, and make the case for rebuilding from a deeper place of clarity, purpose, and people-first leadership. If you’ve ever found yourself questioning whether you still have what it takes, this episode will remind you who you are.
