About our guest: Who is Ted Santos? Ted Santos is The Leadership Disruptor Who Turns Chaos into Breakthroughs. Ted is not your typical business strategist—he challenges the status quo through training and developing CEOs, executives, and entrepreneurs to create problems instead of solving them. This strategy ignites the greatness in Ted’s clients that in return, provides the fuel for transformative and breakthrough growth.

Ted’s expertise extends beyond boardrooms—Ted’s groundbreaking book, "Here’s Why You Can’t Find Love," reveals how personal struggles, like broken relationships, cost U.S. businesses over $300 billion annually and provides tools for leaders to fix the hidden leaks that sabotage success.

Ted doesn’t just talk about breakthroughs—he creates them. Whether it’s scaling during rapid growth, transforming culture, or leading through chaos, Ted brings game-changing insights that resonate deeply with high-achievers looking to think bigger, act bolder, and dominate their industries.

Thanks for sharing your many gifts with people all over the world, for continuing to push yourself in the service of others and for being our guest on Life’s Essential Ingredients. Welcome to the show!

TOTD – “The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds.” R.D. Laing
