In this transformative episode, I sit down with the extraordinary Tara May, CEO of Aspiritech and a global advocate for neurodiversity. Tara’s work is reshaping the tech industry by honouring the brilliance, precision, and unique strengths of neurodivergent minds.

Tara shares her personal journey through corporate digital transformation roles into the heart of purpose-driven leadership, where she now leads a company in which 90% of the team are autistic adults. Her commitment to creating safe, inclusive, and empowering environments is redefining what’s possible for organisations everywhere.

Together, we explore the more profound truths of neurodiversity — the beauty of diverse thinking styles, the importance of belonging, and the structural changes needed in both education and corporate culture. Tara offers grounded, actionable guidance for leaders who are ready to embrace inclusivity, not as a checkbox, but as a decisive strategic advantage.

This conversation is for every visionary leader who knows the new world of business requires compassion, humanity, and the courage to lead differently.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with the remarkable Fleet Maull — a seasoned business strategist, meditation teacher, author of Radical Responsibility, and founder of multiple conscious leadership organisations. Fleet’s journey is one of profound transformation, resilience, and devotion to service.

We explore his early years growing up in a business-oriented family, and how that foundation later merged with psychology, meditation, and deep spiritual inquiry. Fleet shares his extraordinary story of navigating a life-altering series of events that led him into a lengthy prison sentence — and how that chapter became the birthplace of radical awakening and purpose.

During his time inside, he founded the first hospice program ever established in a U.S. prison — a courageous act of compassion that transformed the lives of countless individuals. From there, his path unfolded into decades of work blending mindfulness, trauma-informed leadership, entrepreneurship, and systems-level change.

Together, we talk about burnout, leadership fatigue, the entrepreneurial mindset, and what it truly takes to lead with clarity and emotional maturity in today’s world. Fleet’s presence is grounded, wise, and deeply human — a reminder that transformation is always available, no matter where we begin.

This conversation is for leaders ready to break free from survival mode, reclaim agency, and step into a new paradigm of inner freedom and outer impact.

In this episode, I sit down with the extraordinary Ann McNeil — a visionary thought leader, master strategist, and a woman who has dedicated her life to elevating others through the power of masterminds.

Ann shares the origin story of her transformation, beginning on December 31, 1979, when reading Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill ignited a fire within her. That moment led her to create her first mastermind group — a decision that ultimately reshaped the entire trajectory of her life.

From there, Ann went on to become a highly successful entrepreneur and founder of MCO Construction and Services, a company built on faith, discipline, accountability, and a lifelong devotion to personal mastery.

Together, we explore the profound principles behind mastermind groups — the structure, the accountability, the sacred commitment to growth across all ten areas of life. Ann speaks with clarity and conviction about the power of setting aligned goals, creating community, and grounding success in spiritual practice — a wisdom she attributes to the deep teachings she received from her mother.

This episode is a reminder that transformation is not accidental. It is intentional, devotional, and deeply supported when we surround ourselves with people who hold us to our highest vision.

If you’re a leader, entrepreneur, or someone ready to step into full alignment with your purpose, Ann’s message will activate something powerful within you.

In this radiant episode, I sit down with the wise and luminous Mynoo Maryel — author of Flow: The New Leadership Paradigm and steward of the Age of Brilliance — for a conversation that is nothing short of a transmission.

Mynoo shares the extraordinary arc of her journey — from her early life in India, through a defining chapter in Saudi Arabia where she founded an institute for women, to her leadership work in the UK, where she led visionary government-funded studies on conscious leadership.

But the turning point? Bali.

Her time in Bali initiated a profound inner transformation — a surrender, a remembrance, and a full-body reclamation of divine leadership. Together, we speak about completing karmic cycles, navigating the collective cleanse, and receiving the gifts that arise when we allow life to unfold with grace.

This episode is a call to those who are ready to lead differently. Not from force or strategy — but from presence, devotion, and alignment with soul.

We explore what it means to live and lead in the Age of Brilliance and how we can harmonise our inner and outer worlds in service of something greater. Mynoo also introduces her books — Flow, and the upcoming youth-focused edition, Unstoppable — a beacon for the next generation of awakened leaders.

Listen in if you’re ready to embody conscious leadership and walk your path with anchored grace.

In this soul-stirring episode, I had the honour of sitting down with the radiant Deborah Weed — founder of the Self-Worth Initiative and the Quills Up Movement — for a conversation that will awaken something deep within you.

Deborah’s journey from the corporate world into the heart of self-worth advocacy began with a health crisis and a misdiagnosis that turned her world upside down. What emerged from that rupture was a more profound truth — one that now fuels her mission to empower women and young girls to remember who they truly are.

We explore her creative legacy through her book Paisley’s Last Quill and her bold vision for a Broadway-scale musical — both powerful expressions of her devotion to reclaiming self-worth through storytelling and imagination.

This is more than a podcast. It’s a transmission — a reminder that your voice is sacred, your creativity is power, and your worth is not up for debate.

We also speak on loss, spirituality, resilience, and what it means to lead from the inside out. If you're walking the path of purpose, awakening, or creative leadership, this conversation is for you.

Tune in and allow yourself to be moved.

In this episode of Visionary New Earth Leaders, I sit down with Erica Carrico — an award-winning soul business coach, courageous mother, and living testament to the power of purpose-led transformation.

Erica’s path wasn’t born from strategy or performance — it was carved through a life-altering cancer diagnosis that demanded total honesty and deep remembrance. What emerged is a woman who chose to realign her life and leadership with soul, and now guides others to do the same.

We speak directly to the heart of what it means to live your purpose in a world that often asks you to betray it. This isn’t a conversation about hustle or hype — it’s about building a business that is a living, breathing extension of your soul’s mission.

In this intimate episode of Visionary New Earth Leaders, I sit down with Paul Fishman — the founder of Image Alchemy — for a conversation that goes far deeper than clothing or style.

Paul’s path is one of resilience. From the depths of personal breakdown, he forged a mission anchored in presence, self-love, and authentic expression. As a life coach and fashion stylist, Paul now supports visionary leaders in aligning their outer image with their deeper purpose.

This isn’t about trends or surface-level branding. This is about embodied alignment — the kind that roots your leadership in truth and transmits who you are before you even speak a word.

Together, we explore:

• The alchemy of personal transformation and visual identity
• What it really takes to build magnetic presence as a leader
• Why self-love isn’t just personal — it’s strategic
• How styling becomes a sacred mirror for inner evolution
• The quiet power of authenticity in high-impact leadership

This conversation is a potent reminder that how you show up matters. If you're here to lead with intention, legacy, and truth — this episode will meet you where you are and elevate you to where you're going.

In this episode, I sat down with William Davis — a seasoned leader who brings nearly four decades of experience navigating the complexities of corporate America with a deep sense of purpose and personal transformation.

What began as an ambitious climb up the corporate ladder became a profound journey of awakening for William. He shared how his leadership evolved from self-orientation to service, and how the call to lead others with integrity reshaped everything he once valued.

We explored the growing fractures within corporate leadership — the erosion of human connection, the loss of relational depth, and the consequences of a culture driven by performance over presence. William spoke candidly about the current leadership crisis, one that runs deeper than strategy — it’s a crisis of character.

Our conversation brought to light the non-negotiables of real leadership: empathy, emotional intelligence, and the courage to build environments where people feel safe, seen, and significant.

William also spoke about his next chapter — one that continues to serve. From writing leadership blueprint books to mentoring the next wave of conscious leaders, his work now centres around restoring trust and rehumanizing the way we lead.

This episode is an invitation — especially for founders, executives, and decision-makers — to pause, reflect, and ask: What kind of leader am I becoming?

In this episode of Visionary New Earth Leaders, I’m joined by Charity Brown — a business coach, entrepreneur, and author whose path is a powerful example of what happens when we stop chasing success and start building it from the inside out.

Charity’s entrepreneurial journey began early, and like many leaders, she faced her share of challenges: burnout, misalignment, and the pressures of navigating a corporate world that often rewards performance over presence. What emerged from that experience was not just resilience, but a methodology — one rooted in clarity, structure, and conscious leadership.

In our conversation, Charity walks us through The Happy CEO — her signature program that empowers entrepreneurs through four anchors: power, planning, positioning, and profits. She speaks openly about her own transformation, the necessity of mentorship, and the tools she uses to stay grounded in both purpose and joy.

This episode is a direct call to leaders who know they’re meant to do business differently. It’s not about more hustle — it’s about more alignment. If you're building a life that reflects both impact and inner peace, this is a conversation to take seriously.

In this episode of Visionary New Earth Leaders, I welcome Jeanne Retief — a former human rights lawyer who turned her own experience with panic disorder and complex PTSD into a mission-driven skincare brand, Figgi Beauty.

Jeanne's story is one of radical realignment. After building a respected career in international law, she faced a personal reckoning that brought her to the edge of burnout. Instead of pushing through, she chose to listen. What followed was a journey of healing, one that led her to create Figgi — a minimalist skincare line designed for sensitive, reactive skin, grounded in science and inspired by her South African roots.

In our conversation, Jeanne shares how her health crisis became the catalyst for building something deeply restorative — not just for herself, but for others navigating similar silent battles. She speaks to the connection between mental health and skincare, the intelligence of the body, and how Rooibos, a native South African tea, became the heart of her formulations.

This episode is a powerful reminder that your breakdowns are not the end of your story — they can be the beginning of a more honest, embodied path. Jeanne’s calm strength and devotion to integrity shine through in everything she shares.

If you’re a founder, leader, or changemaker who has ever questioned what’s next, this conversation offers solid ground to stand on.
