It’s been a hot minute since I’ve had the pleasure of sharing an Unleashed Conversation with an amazing leader here with you and it felt entirely apt to kick it off with Tim Schneider. I met Tim while taking a 5 month leadership intensive he leads through his leadership company for the Vegas Chamber called Leadership Advance. It was a small cohort and considering the brevity of the program we covered a lot of ground. That’s Tim for you - leadership personified. Not a surprise for someone who learned almost immediate on entering the workforce, that working for others just wasn’t going to work, for him. He saw in his first job some big gaps in those who were called leaders. And in true leadership fashion, took it upon himself to sharpen his tools and then teach. Through our conversation I noticed something particularly interesting about how Tim spoke of his work. Listen closely and see if you can hear it too. He’s an accomplished author with sharp wit, no holds barred kind of guy, and as it turns out some of the most powerful lessons of leadership he carries, came from his dogs.

What does leadership actually mean in today’s world? Good questions, right? That’s what Cathy Brooks, thought. And it’s why she created Talk, Unleashed – a new podcast of entirely candid conversations with fascinating people doing remarkable things. This weekly podcast features guests from arts and entertainment to business to technology to food to activism to politics (well, we’ll see on that last one). Talk Unleashed invites these influencers to consider the things that have led to them to where they are, the lessons they’ve learned and how all those things can come together to create a better world. This podcast compliments Unleashed Leadership, the coaching business through which Cathy helps clients unearth and untether their own internal leadership and connect with others in a way that truly engages. Recently Cathy joined Paris-based start-up OpenBubble as Co-Founder and Chief Communications Officer. OpenBubble’s mission is to break through issues of isolation and separation in society by creating a powerful way for people to connect and talk – with no agenda.
