"Jon Bassford really piqued my curiosity about operations," Hersh admits when commenting on this episode. And that makes sense, because Jon is an ops professional and entrepreneur driven by his Curiosity! It is his super power and it has driven his personal and professional advancement.

After law school, Jon put this inquisitiveness to work launching, managing, and improving operations for venture backed startups to global nonprofits with impact!

Today, Jon is known for his curiosity-driven leadership, helping organizations and individuals innovate, change, and grow through by adopting Curiosity as their superpower.

Hersh sits down with Kimberly Wifeling, who has been described as a “force of nature” - an apt description, Hersh points out. She is determined to use that force to make a significant positive impact on our world.

Kimberly Wiefling helps people achieve what seems impossible, but is "merely difficult." She’s the author of the globally popular book Scrappy Project Management - The 12 Predictable & Avoidable Pitfalls Every Project Faces; the founder of Wiefling Consulting, and cofounder of Silicon Valley Alliances. Her latest book, “Turning Ideas Into Impact”, is an anthology with 15 other Silicon Valley consultants.

A physicist by education, she worked at HP for 10 years in 7 different engineering and project management roles, including leading an R&D team launching a new mass spectrometer, then 3 years in Silicon Valley startups leading product development teams in hardware, software, and complex systems involving both. She’s worked with 50+ globalizing Japanese companies, and with people from over 50 different countries, helping organizations solve global problems profitably. Kimberly lives and works in Silicon Valley, and has helped to start, run and grow many small businesses, including several that are still alive and profitable, and one of which grew to millions in revenue with only seed funding from her and the other founders. 

Kimberly’s superpower is turning managers into leaders and groups into true teams who can achieve “impossible” together.

Lady Jen lives by the motto, "Create a work life that makes life work!” and as someone who's accompanied her on the Marketers Cruise and the Podcasters Cruise (newly minted as The New Media Cruise), I can attest that she is among my most industrious colleagues.

Lee Povey is a high-performance leadership coach specializing in working with founders and start-ups. As a former elite cycling athlete and Olympic Development Program Coach for USA Cycling, Lee has a deep understanding of what it takes to lead at the highest levels.

Through coaching hundreds of World, National, and Olympic champions, Lee has gained invaluable experience in developing World-Class leadership and people.

He helps leaders and high-achievers understand how best to motivate, lead, give feedback, and empower their teams to incredible growth and performance. He breaks down the human experience in a relatable way, giving tips, skill sets, and valuable mindset insights, allowing us all to perform like Olympians while retaining a strong focus on happiness and longer-term fulfillment.

He also runs men’s groups as a way to give back and help develop better fathers, husbands, friends, and leaders.

Linda have written ten books – 7 in the Smart Travelista series and 3 in the Antics from Abroad series.

Marc-John is the Co-Founder and Co-Director of Native Wisdom Hub. This ethical for-profit organization seeks to help steward the world's fast-emerging psychedelic renaissance and industry in ways rooted in ethics, responsibility, and integrity. This wasn't always Marc-John's position, however. Whilst a student of indigenous wisdom traditions since his late teens, he qualified as a language interpreter and translator aged 22, and from age 24 onwards, he opened six companies, launching two of them fully before crashing and burning in 2018-2019.

This burnout led him back to his deepest calling: indigenous wisdom traditions. Today, as co-founder and co-director of Native Wisdom Hub, Marc-John gets to exercise all of his greatest passions, combining said traditions with his love for high performance, community-building, and deep healing in a business environment that offers coaching, teaching, mentoring, ceremonial healing, and retreats, striving to help people reach the very best version of themselves at every juncture.
