In this episode of Live The Dream, Harinder sits down with Dan Messinger, founder of Transforming Executive Presence, to explore what real leadership transformation actually looks like.Dan has spent decades helping leaders, executives and organisations develop deeper presence, stronger communication, healthier conflict resolution and more authentic leadership. But this conversation goes far beyond surface-level confidence or presentation skills.Dan shares why ego is often the biggest obstacle to growth, why humility is essential for real leadership, and how leaders can become conscious of the unconscious thought and behaviour patterns that shape the way they lead. He also explains how vulnerability can become a leadership superpower, why unresolved conflict quietly damages teams, and why so many managers are never taught the basic human skills needed to lead well.We also explore the difference between coaching and therapy, why AI cannot replace lived experience or intuition, and what it really means to help someone transform from the inside out.This is a powerful conversation for coaches, founders, executives, HR leaders and anyone interested in leadership, consciousness, emotional intelligence and the future of human connection in an AI-driven world.In this episode, we cover:🎙️ Why ego blocks real leadership🎙️ The difference between confidence and executive presence🎙️ How leaders can communicate without blame🎙️ Why vulnerability moves people more than authority🎙️ How conflict resolution can transform teams🎙️ Why AI cannot replace intuition, consciousness or lived experience🎙️ What it means to “keep on growing”👤 Guest: Dan Messinger🔗 Connect with Dan:Website: https://www.transformingexecutivepresence.com/LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dan-messinger/LinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/transforming-executive-presence/🎙️ Subscribe to the podcast for more conversations with creators, entrepreneurs & changemakers.Get the latest updates and BONUS Content: https://livethedreampodcast.comMore about me and my projects: https://www.harindermullay.com/Need growth infrastructure and systems to elevate your business: http://aurexaisolutions.com/Want to learn more about my faith, check out: https://www.basicsofsikhi.com/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@harinder.mullayLinked In - https://www.linkedin.com/in/harinder-mullay/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/harinder.mullay/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@harinder.mullayX - https://x.com/harindermullayFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/harindermullayofficial

In this episode of Live The Dream, Harinder sits down with Vincent Perez, founder of Equity Institute, Men’s Healing Network, Lead Within, and Dignity Compass.

Vincent’s work sits at the intersection of men’s healing, dignity, leadership, education, emotional resilience, community, and systems change. Across his career, he has worked with schools, organisations, young men, incarcerated youth, community leaders, and men seeking deeper healing and accountability.

This conversation explores what it really means for men to do the inner work — not as performance, not as surface-level self-improvement, but as a path towards responsibility, emotional honesty, service, and dignity.

Vincent shares why men’s work needs to include deeper conversations about violence, trauma, race, power, accountability, and healing. He also opens up about his own journey, his work with men and boys, and why he believes men need spaces where they can be challenged, supported, and guided toward wholeness.

In this episode, we cover:

🎙️ Why men need spaces for honest inner work

🎙️ What modern men’s work often misses

🎙️ Healing, accountability, and emotional responsibility

🎙️ Vincent’s work with young men and incarcerated youth

🎙️ Why dignity and belonging matter in leadership

🎙️ The role of Positive Intelligence and self-awareness

🎙️ How men can lead other men without reproducing harm

🎙️ Why service, purpose, and community are central to healing

If you’re interested in men’s work, masculinity, leadership, healing, emotional resilience, education, or personal transformation, this episode will give you a lot to reflect on.

In this episode of Live The Dream, Harinder Mullay sits down with Themos, a CEO advisor with over 35 years of experience across corporate leadership, B2B SaaS, private equity, M&A, software company exits and founder advisory.

Themos has worked on both sides of the private equity table — from C-suite leadership and exits to advising founders preparing their companies for sale. In this conversation, he shares what most founders misunderstand about exiting a business, why private equity buyers care more about numbers than emotion, and how CEOs can prepare for the reality of dealing with investment bankers, analysts, lawyers and acquisition teams.

But this conversation goes much deeper than business.

Themos also shares his honest perspective on AI and why he believes the technology is not just good or bad — it is inevitable. He gives real examples of companies using AI to build internal CRMs, analyse thousands of customer service calls, rethink offshore teams, review marketing dashboards and change how software companies operate.

At the heart of the conversation is a powerful message: AI can help with speed, analysis and automation, but it cannot replace human judgement, creativity, intuition, honesty and lived experience.

We also explore Themos’s spiritual side, his retreat work, his belief in lifelong learning, and what “living the dream” means after decades in business.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why Themo no longer sees himself as a traditional coach
• What founders misunderstand before selling their company
• The private equity mindset behind acquisitions and exits
• Why AI is already reshaping B2B SaaS, customer service and marketing
• The danger of outsourcing your thinking to AI
• Why AI-generated content is making authenticity more valuable
• Why CEOs still need trusted human advisors
• The importance of honesty in business and leadership
• How spiritual practice and self-awareness shape Themos’s next chapter

If you are a founder, consultant, coach, CEO, advisor or business owner trying to understand where AI fits — and where human experience still matters — this episode is for you.

In this episode of Live The Dream Podcast, I sit down with Trisha Daho, founder of Empowered Leadership Cultivation, a people and culture strategy firm helping organisations build better leaders, stronger teams, and more meaningful workplace cultures.

Trisha spent years as a partner at a Big Four accounting and advisory firm before making the decision to leave corporate life and build something of her own — a firm she describes as “a small firm with a big heart and a big mission.”

In this conversation, we explore what it really takes to walk away from prestige, security, and a global brand in order to build a life and business rooted in purpose.

We discuss:

🎙️ Why Trisha left Big Four corporate life

🎙️ The fear and identity shift of starting again

🎙️ Building a purpose-led business from scratch

🎙️ Why self-awareness is essential for great leadership

🎙️ The emotional side of entrepreneurship and small business ownership

🎙️ The importance of balance after moving to France

🎙️ Why leadership starts with knowing yourself

🎙️ What “living the dream” really means beyond money and success

This is a powerful conversation for founders, coaches, consultants, leaders, and anyone who feels like they are successful on paper but still searching for deeper meaning in their work and life.

Bimmy Rai MBE joins Live The Dream Podcast for a powerful conversation on loss, faith, leadership, women’s rights, community service and what it really means to give back.

In this episode, Bimmy shares the story behind receiving her MBE, her work with Sikh Women’s Aid, City Sikhs, fostering communities, women’s rights, mental health, interfaith work and why silence can no longer be the response to issues within our communities.

🔗 Follow Tandy: During lockdown, Tandy Virdee did something most parents talk about… but never actually do.

He turned a homeschooling project into a real brand with his 8-year-old twin sons — and within a few years they were running pop-ups, winning awards, and learning how to pitch, sell, and build confidence in rooms full of adults.

But the bigger story isn’t Rocket Sonic.It’s what happened next: Tandy realised young talent is everywhere — in sport, music, acting, business — but most kids never get visibility, mentorship, or doors opened. So he created New Young Blood, a platform built to celebrate and support the next generation.

In this episode, we talk about:

🎙 How to build confidence in kids (without ego)

🎙 Turning creativity into a career (even when family doesn’t “get it”)

🎙 What Tandy learned working with global brands like Adidas, Diageo & Tommy Hilfiger

🎙 Why jealousy and gatekeeping hold communities back

🎙 How New Young Blood is helping young athletes, actors, and entrepreneurs get seen

🎙 Using purpose-led work to support causes like violence against women and girlsIf you’re a parent, mentor, or young person with a big dream — this conversation will shift how you think about success.
