🎧 Announcing: Jim Fielding & Friends — A Podcast About Real Leadership, Real Conversations, and Radical Kindness
After decades in corporate boardrooms, behind global brands, and now in the coaching space, I’ve come to believe this:
The world doesn’t need more noise. It needs more truth. More heart. More humanity in leadership.
That’s why I’m launching something deeply personal—and long overdue.
Coming this Pride Month, I’m thrilled to introduce you to Jim Fielding & Friends, a new podcast built around one simple idea:
👉 We lead better when we lead together.
Every episode is a chance to sit down with someone I admire—executives, artists, entrepreneurs, advocates, and culture shapers—to have honest conversations about what it means to lead with courage, kindness, and authenticity in today’s complex world.
Not soundbites. Not slogans. Just real talk from people who are doing the work.
🎙️ Why Now?
Because we’re living in a time of deep division, performative leadership, and burnout disguised as ambition.
Because Pride Month is not just a celebration—it’s a call to action. A time to lift voices, tell the truth, and remind each other that leadership is about belonging, not bravado.
And most importantly—because we need community more than ever.
Conversation. Curiosity. Courage. That’s the energy I’m bringing to the mic.
