Welcome to Unfazed Under Fire, a podcast designed to help senior executives lead with greater impact, resilience, and well-being. Each episode is rooted in proven, systemic frameworks that empower leaders to achieve extraordinary results, foster high-performing cultures, and thrive in today’s complex and unpredictable business environment.

I created this podcast for two key reasons:
First, to provide executives with leadership principles and culture-enhancing frameworks that support them in turning their visions into reality and achieving their goals.
Second, to challenge and inspire the leadership development and executive coaching fields to adopt new approaches—particularly breakthroughs in neuroscience—that accelerate growth and enhance leadership effectiveness.

In a time of global crisis and unprecedented challenges, business leaders are uniquely positioned to drive change that unites rather than divides. By embodying enlightened leadership, executives can create environments that unlock the full potential of their teams and generate innovative solutions for a better future.

If you're an executive committed to this kind of leadership, this podcast is for you. Let’s shape the future of leadership together.

Some of the best conversations about leadership happen around the dinner table not the conference table. Leadership crosses over all things, not just work.
Joining Simon Fagg at the virtual dinner table is a leader he has admired over the past 25+ years as a consultant and coach. We invite you to pull up a chair and join us as we look into what lessons these leaders wish they'd learned earlier and what they're still learning.

The word "feedback" can spark fear in people. Often our instinct is to hide or defend ourselves, but how does that open your eyes to opportunities at the present or even possible blind spots keeping you from achieving your career aspirations? Each month, join Troy Blaser, LearningBridge’s long-time software developer, as he interviews guests who are industry leaders as they share their ideas on professional growth, best practices, and the feedback lessons they learned that shaped their career today.

Undying Hope International (UHI) is a 501(c)(3) organization registered in both the United States and South Sudan, with the potential to expand to other East African countries. This podcast will focus on leadership development, emphasizing four pillars: 1) education, 2) healthcare delivery and public health, 3) leadership development, and 4) spiritual formation.

The definition of conviction is a firmly held belief. Leadership looks different for each person, but every leader has strong convictions that pave the way for how they guide their people. Whether you're an experienced leader, a current leader, a novice leader, or a soon-to-be leader--this podcast is a must for you. Through this show, we will hear leaders share their convictions, the struggles they face, and the challenges they have overcome by staying true to their convictions. Leadership can be hard and can be lonely. I aim to connect you with leaders who have walked the journey and want to show others the way. This is Beau Vincent, and you're listening to the conviction of a Leader.

This is for big thinkers who don’t fit in the corporate box. You are the change-makers, the innovators, the disruptors. You’re meant to pave a whole new path.

But that's not easy.

You're going to face a lot of resistance.

You've got to be ready for that!

I'm your host, Nicky Espinosa. I've been a corporate leader for almost 30 years in deeply change-resistant systems.

I share my experience and insights to help you play big even when the system is stacked against you.

You were never meant to fit in the box; YOU are meant to pave a whole new path.

And this time... it's personal.
