The Romanticization of Leadership Problem w/Travis Schachtner

Ethical Employment Advocate

Raised on a family farm in rural Wisconsin, Dr. Schachtner learned early on that all work has value—and that belief has guided him through a remarkable career. From military service and private industry to elected office, he’s worn many hats and seen leadership from every angle.

With advanced degrees in Leadership and a Doctorate in Career and Technical Education Leadership, Dr. Schachtner brings a unique blend of academic insight and real-world grit. His leadership philosophy, shaped by Maslow’s principles and the Romanticization of Leadership Theory, focuses on meeting the needs of others and building strong relationships.

Now teaching Electromechanical Systems at Saint Paul College, Dr. Schachtner lives out his belief that the world needs fewer wannabe leaders—and more people who can actually fix things.

Introduction

Profit Meets Purpose: The Business Model Behind a Modern Utopia w Marat Omarov

Marat Omarov is the visionary founder of The ARK, a modern regenerative village in Costa Rica that redefines how we live, build, and thrive together.

After a successful career leading global-scale projects — including being recognized by the President of Kazakhstan for his leadership at Expo 2017 — Marat shifted his focus from systems of performance to systems of purpose.

Now, he’s building The ARK as a real-world blueprint for intentional, profitable, and deeply human living. Combining regenerative design, shared ownership models, and conscious community-building, The ARK isn’t a dream — it’s already happening.

Marat brings a rare combination of grounded execution and visionary clarity, and today, he’s here to share the story behind The ARK, the challenges of pioneering a new model of living, and why he believes we’re ready for a post-capitalist future that actually works.
