In this episode, Ted Bliefnick opens up about growing up in Decatur, Illinois—where faith, sports, community, and hard work laid the foundation for his life. He shares candidly about battling ADD and depression, the heartbreak of losing close friends to suicide, and the lessons learned from regret, failure, and rebuilding.

From scaling a recruiting firm to tens of millions in revenue to launching a new venture during COVID, Ted unpacks how his leadership evolved—from commanding to coaching—and what it means to lead with questions instead of ego.

We also dive into marriage, raising three boys in a tech-driven world, and how AI is reshaping the future of work.

This one is honest, powerful, and deeply human.
