What if the breakthrough your team needs isn’t about working harder or chasing the latest trend, but about leaning into courageous, authentic leadership?

In this episode, I sit down with leadership expert Dan Tocchini, who has spent more than 35 years helping leaders and teams transform. From executive boards at ESPN and Interstate Batteries to nonprofits like Homeboy Industries, Dan brings a refreshing, no-fluff approach to building teams that thrive.

Together, we talk about:

• Why “magic” in leadership isn’t magic at all, it’s about clarity, courage, and commitment

• How to navigate creative conflict without avoiding the hard conversations

• What it really takes to build teams that aren’t held hostage by circumstance or history

If you’ve ever felt stuck as a leader or if your team feels weighed down by unspoken tensions, this conversation will encourage and challenge you.

Dan Tocchini has been helping leaders bring some magic to their teams for over 35 years. He has worked with executive teams from Interstate Batteries and ESPN, to Smarty Pants Vitamins and Impulse Space, as well as with non-profits like Homeboy Industries and Defy Ventures. Dan gives a no-fluff approach by helping transform leadership teams without any pixie dust—just courageous leadership, creative conflict resolution, and relevant restructuring. No conversation is too difficult, no situation too conflicted, because a leader with a vision cannot be held hostage by circumstance or history.
