What does BOLD mean to you? Everyone has their own version, discover what it is for you.

On this special launch-day episode, Leigh Burgess joins host Natalie Benamou to celebrate the release of her new book, 'The Bold Leader'. This conversation arrives on the very day her book goes out into the world, making it the perfect moment for this interview.

Leigh shares how burnout became a turning point that reshaped her life, her health, and her path forward. She shares how to reframe fear- it isn't always a stop sign. It truly is an indicator that something is important. We explore the BOLD framework: Believe, Own, Learn, Design and how it grew out of her own transformation.

Highlights:

• How she rebuilt her health and daily habits

• Why fear shows up right before we take the next big step

• What bold leadership looks like inside teams and organizations today

• How 90-day sprints change the way leaders make progress

• Why bold doesn’t have to be loud, sometimes it’s one intentional move

• What she hopes readers feel when they open 'The Bold Leader'

This launch-day conversation is all about choosing the next move with clarity and courage. Leigh’s message is timely, energizing, and grounded in real-life experience.

Thank you Leigh for being a featured guest today and special gratitude to Michelle Pecak for introducing us!

Keep shining your light bright. The world needs you.
