In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, we sit down with Brent A. Hafele, M.A., ACC, the founder of Vibrancy Unlocked. Brent shares his fascinating transition from a 15-year consultant feeling the pressure to have all the answers during the COVID-19 pandemic to becoming a certified CEO coach. He reveals the pivotal moment he realized his true calling was to serve as a confidential confidant and strategic partner for leaders, helping them break through isolation, gain clarity, and lead with resilience and authenticity.

Brent delves into the core of his business model, explaining how Vibrancy Unlocked operates as a CEO-centric firm offering personalized coaching and quarterly "Vibrancy Sessions" designed to force busy leaders to slow down and think strategically. He also outlines his ambitious vision for the future, which includes expanding his team of coaches and launching "Project Kula"—a groundbreaking initiative to bring leadership development and coaching culture to East Africa, starting in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Ethiopia.
