In Part Two, Kevin Eikenberry challenges the myth that leadership is just for those with formal authority. He unpacks the idea of “leadership by choice,” reflects on the rise of remote work, and shares practical advice for building influence, trust, and connection—especially when you’re not in the same room. With insights from decades of coaching and his own mistakes, Kevin makes a compelling case: the future of work belongs to people who choose to lead, wherever they are.

Key Highlights of Our Interview:

Leadership Isn’t a Title

“You don’t need a position to lead. You just need to make the choice.”

Why influence, not authority, defines real leadership.

From Compliance to Commitment

“Command and control can get people to do the work. But it won’t make them care.”

How great leaders inspire action—not just obedience.

Remote Work Is Here to Stay

“Hybrid is the reality. The leaders who adapt will win.”

Why resisting change isn’t a strategy—and what to do instead.

Trust Can Travel

“Distance doesn’t have to mean disconnection.”

Building rapport, connection, and shared purpose in remote teams.

Be a Student of Your Own Leadership

“Every leader needs a development plan—just like athletes have coaches.”

Why leadership is a daily practice, not a fixed identity.

In Part One, Kevin shares the personal and professional journey that shaped his leadership philosophy—from farm life to corporate training to becoming a global thought leader. He explains why leadership isn’t about innate traits or job titles, but about everyday choices. Drawing from his early career, client work, and lessons from home, Kevin lays out why leading by default isn’t enough—and how you can start leading by design.

Key Highlights of Our Interview:

From the Farm to the Front of the Room

“I didn’t grow up thinking I’d teach leadership. But I grew up watching it.”

How growing up on a farm quietly planted the seeds of leadership.

Default Mode Isn’t Leadership

“Too many people lead by accident. They react. They wing it. And it shows.”

Why awareness and intention are the real foundations of influence.

Leadership Is Learned, Not Born

“No one gets promoted and magically becomes a leader.”

The myth of the ‘natural leader’—and why it holds people back.

Everyday Moments Matter Most

“Leadership shows up in the way you write an email, run a meeting, or give feedback.”

The seemingly small actions that build—or break—trust.

The First Step Is a Mirror

“If you want to lead others, you have to lead yourself first.”

Why self-awareness is the starting point of every leadership journey.

In Part Two, Adaira Landry goes beyond storytelling and gets strategic—explaining how to stop saying yes to everything, avoid burnout, and take back control of your time. She shares how the original title of her book almost became Chisel, why Micro Skills isn’t meant to be read cover to cover, and what FOMO vs. JOMO really means in your career.

This episode is a mindset shift for anyone who’s overcommitted, overextended, or overdue for some clarity. Her message is simple but powerful: just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should.

Key Highlights of Our Interview:

The Book Almost Had Another Name

“We wanted to call it Chisel. But it didn’t land the way we hoped. Micro Skills captured it better—it’s about precise, meaningful action.”

Ambition Without Boundaries Isn’t Sustainable

“I used to say yes to everything. Then I realized—none of it was helping me grow upward. It was just clutter.”

Say No to Say Yes

“JOMO—the joy of missing out—is real. You don’t need to chase every opportunity. You need to choose the right ones.”

The Burnout Trap

“If you’re always working horizontally, you never move vertically. That’s not growth. That’s noise.”

Fast Impact, Not Magic

“You don’t need a new degree or a big life change. You just need to start—small, now, and with purpose.”

Before she became a physician, educator, and mentor to hundreds, Adaira Landry felt out of place in nearly every professional room she entered. In Part One, she opens up about entering college at 16, watching a man collapse on campus, and how that moment -- and a painful accident -- pulled her toward medicine. She reflects on growing up without access to mentors, and why that made her even more intentional about creating useful, inclusive career tools later on. This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at what shaped the voice behind Micro Skills.

Key Highlights of Our Interview:

When Life Said “Step In”

“He collapsed right outside my class. And I just walked toward him. I didn’t know what I was doing—but I knew I had to do something.”

The moment on campus that first pulled her toward medicine.

Burned and Alone

“I remember laying on the floor thinking—this isn’t how it’s supposed to be. I couldn’t even call for help.”

A personal injury that left her with pain—and perspective.

No One Called It Mentorship

“We never used that word growing up. It wasn’t until grad school that someone even explained what a mentor really does.”

Why finding guidance felt so unfamiliar at first.

The Confidence Gap

“I had to teach myself to stop over-explaining—to just say the thing.”

On growing into her voice in high-pressure environments.

Why Micro Skills Mattered

“I was tired of career advice that was abstract. I wanted to write something people could actually use Monday morning.”

The motivation behind a book built for practicality, not prestige.

In Part Two, Resa gets tactical. She explains why Micro Skills begins with time, trust, and self-care—because none of the communication tricks matter if you’re running on empty. She unpacks workplace blind spots that slow careers down, shares why she wrote this book for more than just doctors, and explains why clarity, not complexity, wins in high-stakes situations. Also: BCC etiquette, post-traumatic growth, and the exact moment she realized the workplace comes with an unwritten playbook—and how she set out to write it.

This is about what really sustains you: self-respect, situational fluency, and knowing what’s worth your time.

Key Highlights of Our Interview:

The Workplace Doesn’t Come with a Playbook

“I didn’t get the playbook—so I wrote one.”

Why Micro Skills is the field guide she wishes she had years ago.

Why the Book Starts with Time

“Time can only be spent. You can’t save it. You can’t refund it.”

What trauma bays taught her about urgency, and how it applies to every job.

Letters of Recommendation and Hidden Rules

“No one told me how the game worked. That one insight saved me years of inefficiency.”

The invisible workplace norms that trip people up—and how to name them.

Rest Is Strategy, Not a Luxury

“If you’re not well, nothing else works. We call that micro skill #1.”

Why self-care opens the book—and isn’t just about bubble baths.

Intentional Email Etiquette

“BCC isn’t sneaky—it’s smart. You’re protecting privacy and reducing clutter.”

How respect shows up in the smallest digital behaviors.

Practicing Under Pressure

“People think it’s all adrenaline. But real calm comes from preparation.”

What she teaches students who want to stay grounded in chaos.

In Part One, Dr. Resa Lewiss reflects on the experiences that led her to emergency medicine, from early memories of gender inequity at the dinner table to the interdisciplinary studies that shaped her worldview. She shares why she chose a career in high-pressure medicine, how a love of procedures led her to ultrasound, and why teaching globally changed how she practices and leads.

Key Highlights of Our Interview:

Medicine Was a Calling, Not a Family Trade

“I didn’t grow up around doctors. But from early on, medicine was in my bones.”

Resa explains how her internal pull toward healthcare was stronger than any external influence.

The First Fight for Fairness

“My dad said, ‘Girls, clear the table.’ I said, ‘What about the boys?’”

She recalls early moments that sparked her refusal to accept unequal expectations.

Finding Her Fit in Emergency Medicine

“Once I rotated in emergency, I thought—this is it. This is where I belong.”

Resa describes the moment she discovered the dynamic, procedure-driven specialty she’d been looking for.

The Power of a Liberal Arts Education

“My literature and sociology classes made me a better doctor. They taught me empathy.”

She shares how studying beyond science helped her connect more deeply with patients.

Teaching Around the World

“When I went to India, Rwanda, Jordan—these were not lectures. These were collaborations.”

Why global teaching in ultrasound expanded her understanding of medicine and leadership.

Sienna Jackson, the CEO of Nortera.io, walks us through her unexpected shift from entertainment executive to impact strategist.

In Part Two, Sienna Jackson dives deeper into the business of social impact—from why she walked away from Hollywood to how she’s now helping build one of Africa’s largest funding summits. She explains how impact is more than a buzzword—it’s a measurable, strategic discipline. Sienna shares how to bridge silos, build coalitions, and roll up your sleeves to help the helpers. From the boardroom to Ethiopia, she shows that real change isn’t about ego or noise—it’s about clarity, community, and execution.

Key Highlights of Our Interview:

The Off-Ramp to Impact

“I didn’t have a master plan. I just started doing small things—bought a domain, formed an LLC, sent one email: ‘I’m doing social impact now.’ That was the pivot.”

You Can’t Improve What You Don’t Measure

“Impact is the net positive change rendered as a direct and material result of your actions. If you can’t model it, predict it, or quantify it—it’s just branding.”

Culture, Cause, Capital

“My work lives at the intersection of culture, cause, and capital. You need all three to drive sustainable, global change.”

Building a Real Profession

“We don’t have a bar association or CPA license for impact work. That’s a problem. I’m creating a survey to start defining our industry.”

Don’t Silo—Build Coalitions

“You have to speak multiple professional languages. That’s how you bring nonprofit leaders and private sector players into the same room—and actually get something done.”

Help the Helpers

“If you feel overwhelmed, find the people already solving the problem—and ask how you can contribute. That’s how real change starts.”

Sienna Jackson’s career began fast and early—college at 14, internships with The Weinstein Company, and leadership roles in the entertainment industry by her twenties. But behind the résumé was someone quietly questioning the rules of success. In Part One, Sienna shares how a childhood of contradictions, an early taste of toxic power, and a deep sense of cultural responsibility led her to rethink everything.

She didn’t just pivot—she designed a new model where impact isn’t a bonus, it’s the baseline.

Key Highlights of Our Interview:

From Piano Lessons to Policy Debates

“I was born into a family where both Chopin and Noam Chomsky were dinner table topics.”

How her childhood shaped a unique blend of creativity, intellect, and global curiosity.

College at 14, Hollywood by 17

“I was eager—but also uneasy. I knew I was being shaped by systems I didn’t yet understand.”

The rush of early opportunity—and its hidden costs.

Power Without Guardrails

“I learned very quickly that intelligence didn’t guarantee safety.”

What she witnessed inside the entertainment industry—and how it changed her.

Walking Away From the Dream

“I had to ask: Is this ladder leaning against the right building?”

Why she left behind a promising executive path to build something better.

What Stays, What Goes

“I kept the parts of me that loved storytelling. I let go of the ones that craved approval.”

The beginnings of her journey toward purpose-driven entrepreneurship.
