In this transformative episode, I sit down with the extraordinary Tara May, CEO of Aspiritech and a global advocate for neurodiversity. Tara’s work is reshaping the tech industry by honouring the brilliance, precision, and unique strengths of neurodivergent minds.

Tara shares her personal journey through corporate digital transformation roles into the heart of purpose-driven leadership, where she now leads a company in which 90% of the team are autistic adults. Her commitment to creating safe, inclusive, and empowering environments is redefining what’s possible for organisations everywhere.

Together, we explore the more profound truths of neurodiversity — the beauty of diverse thinking styles, the importance of belonging, and the structural changes needed in both education and corporate culture. Tara offers grounded, actionable guidance for leaders who are ready to embrace inclusivity, not as a checkbox, but as a decisive strategic advantage.

This conversation is for every visionary leader who knows the new world of business requires compassion, humanity, and the courage to lead differently.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with the remarkable Fleet Maull — a seasoned business strategist, meditation teacher, author of Radical Responsibility, and founder of multiple conscious leadership organisations. Fleet’s journey is one of profound transformation, resilience, and devotion to service.

We explore his early years growing up in a business-oriented family, and how that foundation later merged with psychology, meditation, and deep spiritual inquiry. Fleet shares his extraordinary story of navigating a life-altering series of events that led him into a lengthy prison sentence — and how that chapter became the birthplace of radical awakening and purpose.

During his time inside, he founded the first hospice program ever established in a U.S. prison — a courageous act of compassion that transformed the lives of countless individuals. From there, his path unfolded into decades of work blending mindfulness, trauma-informed leadership, entrepreneurship, and systems-level change.

Together, we talk about burnout, leadership fatigue, the entrepreneurial mindset, and what it truly takes to lead with clarity and emotional maturity in today’s world. Fleet’s presence is grounded, wise, and deeply human — a reminder that transformation is always available, no matter where we begin.

This conversation is for leaders ready to break free from survival mode, reclaim agency, and step into a new paradigm of inner freedom and outer impact.

In this episode, I sit down with the extraordinary Ann McNeil — a visionary thought leader, master strategist, and a woman who has dedicated her life to elevating others through the power of masterminds.

Ann shares the origin story of her transformation, beginning on December 31, 1979, when reading Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill ignited a fire within her. That moment led her to create her first mastermind group — a decision that ultimately reshaped the entire trajectory of her life.

From there, Ann went on to become a highly successful entrepreneur and founder of MCO Construction and Services, a company built on faith, discipline, accountability, and a lifelong devotion to personal mastery.

Together, we explore the profound principles behind mastermind groups — the structure, the accountability, the sacred commitment to growth across all ten areas of life. Ann speaks with clarity and conviction about the power of setting aligned goals, creating community, and grounding success in spiritual practice — a wisdom she attributes to the deep teachings she received from her mother.

This episode is a reminder that transformation is not accidental. It is intentional, devotional, and deeply supported when we surround ourselves with people who hold us to our highest vision.

If you’re a leader, entrepreneur, or someone ready to step into full alignment with your purpose, Ann’s message will activate something powerful within you.
