In this powerful episode of the Quantum Leadership Podcast, Dr. Stephen Sideroff sits down with Dr. Dan Kelly, one of the nation’s leading neurosurgeons and co-founder and director of the Pacific Neuroscience Institute, for an illuminating look at the inner work, vision, and steady courage behind his remarkable leadership journey.

From leaving a secure tenured role at UCLA to create an entirely new model of neuroscience care, to performing high-stakes brain tumor surgeries where a millimeter can change a life, Dan shares what it truly takes to lead with clarity, presence, and heart. He reveals how risk-taking, disciplined innovation, and multidisciplinary collaboration helped him grow PNI from a small three-person nucleus into a nationally recognized institute with more than a dozen centers of excellence.

Dan also opens up about the personal side of leadership: coping with emotionally heavy diagnoses, maintaining balance through meditation and exercise, fostering trust in the operating room, and navigating the enormous pressures of a healthcare system while protecting what matters most: patient outcomes, team wellbeing, and integrity.

His story offers profound lessons for leaders facing uncertainty, complexity, or the need to build something groundbreaking from the ground up.

Topics covered:

• Leading through risk without recklessness, and knowing when to leap
• Creative problem solving in high stakes settings
• Building trust with patients, staff, and administrators
• Staying grounded through meditation, family connection, and presence
• Innovating the “privademic” model of care
• Managing emotional intensity in life-and-death environments
• Succession planning and the willingness to pass the baton at the right time
