In this episode of Unapologetic Leadership, Cory Dunham sits down with technology executive, entrepreneur, and digital transformation leader Dr. Hollie Blagg to explore how systems thinking and presence shape effective leadership at work, at home, and in faith. Together, they unpack why slowing down in a fast-paced world leads to better decision-making, how leaders can stay grounded amid constant demands, and why caring for the body, mind, and spirit is essential for sustainable impact.

Dr. Blagg brings over a decade of experience driving innovation across enterprise systems and cloud organizations, specializing in scalable organizational design, data-driven strategy, and cross-functional collaboration in high-growth environments.
