Underneath The Title: Conversations with leaders navigating leadership identity, growth, and the transition after exit
Under The Title is for founder-CEOs navigating the decisions that matter most.
Not the strategy questions. The ones underneath the strategy. The calls you already know need to be made but cannot quite commit to. The 3am loop that will not resolve. The moment when pressure and identity start distorting the very judgment your business depends on.
That is the territory this podcast lives in.
After nearly three decades leading success for Fortune 500 environments across multiple industries, I have seen the same pattern repeat in leaders with every credential and advantage available to them. They do not fail because they lack intelligence or data. They lose clarity because pressure and identity distort their internal authority at precisely the moment when it matters most.
What you will find here is what I call the Self-Authority Arc. The moment the fog lifts. The moment a founder-CEO stops second-guessing the call they already knew was right.
If the hardest part of where you are right now is not the strategy but trusting yourself to act on it, you are in the right place.
