In this transformative episode of the Elevate Media Podcast, host Chris Anderson sits down with Charley Johnson, former President of the Pay It Forward Foundation and now a trailblazer in a new executive role: Chief Consciousness Officer. Charley shares his unique journey from building a multimillion-dollar business to being forced into a deeper awareness that reshaped how he sees leadership, conflict, and purpose in business. This conversation blends tactical wisdom with a grounded approach to consciousness in the workplace and life.

Main Topics Covered:

• The origin and role of a Chief Consciousness Officer in modern business
• Why traditional wellness programs fall short in truly shifting company culture
• The difference between neutrality and passive leadership in times of division

• Why clarity, not more knowledge, is the secret to better leadership and decision-making
• The metaphor of the pinhole in the fence: expanding awareness to see more clearly
• How entrepreneurs and solo business owners can tap into consciousness for growth
• Why division over politics, religion, and ideology is hurting teams and progress
• Understanding consciousness as the foundation of business, leadership, and life
