A few years later he was responsible for 17 billion dollars in marketing and sales spend, and the biggest company he had worked for before that was worth a couple of billion. In Part 1 of his talk on Rise From The Ashes, the Chairman of C-Suite Network tells how he got there with no grand plan. He shares his three conditions of satisfaction, why a leader's job is to be strategic and not the smartest, and why life is a five-way teeter-totter. He tells about a 27 hour flight for a cheerleading game, how C-Suite Network got its name overnight, and his advice for the road: do it faster and do it bigger. This is Part 1.

For years, Linda Fisk carried a secret. She was clinically shy as a child, and then she stuttered. It followed her from grade school to college, and she called it an invisible disability. In Part 1, Linda tells Baz how she faced it. She took every speech class she could find. She passed out at the podium. Then her professor let her turn the lectern to face the wall. By her senior year she had won a national speech competition. Along the way she shares why she started LeadHERship Global, what bias at work taught her, and why she says grit can be taught and grace turns heads. This is Part 1.

She was ready to burn it all to the ground. Then Stacy Raske saw what was really on fire: an old identity, not her business. In Part 2, Stacy tells Baz what she did next. She stopped the posting, the emailing and the selling. She sat in the discomfort instead of hustling to fix it, and she let a new kind of work find her. Along the way she shares why the signal you send is the signal that comes back, how she builds an ecosystem around a founder's future self, and why success can be simple. This is Part 2.

What has to die for the real you to rise? Business and brand strategist Stacy Raske joins Baz Porter to tell the story of the identity she had to let burn. From a military career cut short in Iraq, to seven years as a pharmaceutical chemist, to a rock-bottom moment that nearly ended her life, Stacy rebuilt everything by changing one thing she had full control over. This conversation is for the high achievers and recovering control freaks: why your control issues wear a prettier face as you succeed, how responsibility beats control, why entrepreneurship surfaces every unhealed pattern, and what 25 years of marriage through infidelity, addiction, and childhood trauma taught her about connection. Stacy Raske is a business strategist and authority architect who helps multi-passionate founders make their genius monetizable and scalable beyond themselves.

We're more disconnected than we've ever been. Even when we feel connected, most of it is surface. That is Yarona Boster's read on the state of modern families — and in Part 2 of this conversation, she takes it apart piece by piece. She is a communication strategist, a TEDx speaker, a two-time international bestselling author, and a death doula. She has spent eighteen years studying how humans actually communicate, and her new book — Unspoken Signals: Essential Parenting Skills to Raise Emotionally Secure Children — gives parents the tools she has been using in private rooms with private clients for years. In this conversation she walks through what hypervigilance is doing to our families, why adult children are going no contact with their parents in record numbers, how to regulate yourself before trying to regulate your child, and the line that frames the whole episode: the repair matters more than the mistake.
