Podcast audiences connect deeply with the honesty, but they stay for the frameworks.

Paul VossDad of 8, Author of book on AutismMy name is Paul Voss, and I’m the dad of eight kids, ranging in age from 17 down to 5½.Three and a half years ago, our world changed when our youngest child was diagnosed with autism. Like many parents, we thought we were prepared for challenges—we already had a big family, busy schedules, and experience navigating different personalities and needs. What we weren’t prepared for was the level of exhaustion, confusion, and isolation that came with autism.For years, sleep was almost nonexistent. Nights blurred together. Days felt like survival mode. Doctors had answers, but they were often clinical, disconnected, or didn’t work for our real life. Advice was plentiful, but results were rare. And while everyone tells you to “take care of yourself,” that advice feels hollow when you’re running on fumes and responsible for seven other kids who still need you to show up.I’m not a clinician. I’m not selling a miracle cure. I’m a dad who lived through the hardest seasons of parenting and refused to accept that constant chaos was the best it would ever get.That journey led me to write my first book, Autism Sucks: Finding Hope in the Chaos. I chose that title deliberately—because autism does suck sometimes, and pretending otherwise doesn’t help struggling parents. What helps is honesty, practical changes, and knowing you’re not alone.One of my core goals with the book—and with every podcast conversation—is simple:If something we did can help even one parent get six hours of uninterrupted sleep, then everything we went through was worth it.But the story doesn’t stop at sleep.As we adjusted our routines, environment, expectations, and parenting approach for our autistic child, something unexpected happened: our entire family improved. Our household became calmer. Communication got better. And our other kids benefited—especially our oldest son, who was diagnosed with ADHD. The same intentional changes that helped our autistic child created structure, regulation, and emotional safety for everyone else.Autism forced us to slow down and actually parent—not react, not autopilot, not outsource everything to systems that weren’t built for families like ours. And in that process, it changed me.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Alex BoylanAmazing Race Winner | Creator and Host of Amazon Prime’s The College TourI’m Alex Boylan — an Emmy-nominated host, producer, and author whose career has been built by saying yes to adventure, uncertainty, and experience. I’ve circumnavigated the globe more than five times, filming in over 60 countries, and long before television ever entered the picture, I had already lived in South America during high school, Europe in college, and the Caribbean after graduation. Those early experiences shaped how I see risk, opportunity, and what it really means to build a meaningful life.Many people first discovered me after I won Season 2 of The Amazing Race, but that moment was just one chapter in a much longer story. I went on to create Around the World For Free, the first online interactive travel series, and today I’m the creator and host of Amazon Prime’s The College Tour, now in its 16th season with more than 200 episodes spotlighting opportunity, education, and possibility.What I bring to podcasts are engaging, story-driven conversations about travel, career design, taking smart risks, storytelling, and how life experience often matters more than a perfect résumé. I love sharing behind-the-scenes stories from global travel and television, but I always aim to leave listeners with practical takeaways they can apply to their own lives — whether that’s embracing discomfort, trusting curiosity, or designing a career that doesn’t follow a traditional script.I’m also the author of The Miles That Make You, a reflection on how the moments that challenge us most often shape us the most.

Award-winning author Jim Nesbitt has written five hard-boiled Texas crime thrillers that feature an indelible protagonist, Dallas private eye Ed Earl Burch, a cashiered homicide detective with bad knees, a wounded liver and an empty bank account. He's smart, tough, profane and reckless: nobody's hero but nobody's fool.Drawing on four decades as a journalist chasing hurricanes, presidential candidates, neo-Nazis, cops, crooks and cowboys, Nesbitt writes hard-hitting novels bristling with relentless action, pulse-racing plots, solid storylines and a colorful cast of characters. Gritty and remorseless, these stories take readers on a thrill ride that runs from the gleaming towers of Dallas and Houston to the stark desert mountains of the Texas Big Bend country and northern Mexico.This is hard-boiled detective fiction at its finest -- taut, tense and uncompromising sagas of revenge and redemption. With his pitch-perfect voice and keen eye for detail, Jim Nesbitt has created extraordinary tales centered on a main character like no other: the deeply flawed but wildly compelling Ed Earl Burch. They are damned good stories exceptionally well-told.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Joshua DelpPastor, Coach, and Strategist Equipping Men and Leaders to Live & Lead with Courage, Integrity, and Emotional IntelligenceI didn’t grow up with a clear picture of faith or healthy leadership. My early years were marked by brokenness and confusion — until Jesus changed everything. His grace completely redirected the course of my life and set me on fire to serve others and help them discover their own God-given purpose.I stepped into full-time ministry young and passionate, but like many leaders, I hit a wall. I was overwhelmed, overcommitted, and stuck — doing a lot for God but not really leading from God. Then I experienced transformational coaching that helped me gain clarity, emotional intelligence, and a sustainable way of leading. That breakthrough changed my life, my leadership, and eventually became the foundation for my work and everything I teach today.Now, through Rising Leadership, Risen Men, and the upcoming Risen Project, I help men and leaders strengthen their faith, lead with clarity and conviction, and live out their calling with balance and integrity.My story is really about God's redemption, restoration, and refocus — learning to lead from a healthy soul, love my family well, and still serve the world with purpose.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Mike MilanCash Flow MikeI’m Cash Flow Mike, and I help business owners and their advisors find hidden cash in their companies—without spreadsheets full of confusion or lectures they’ll forget by tomorrow. For the past 20+ years, I’ve been in the trenches—starting, building, advising, and saving businesses. I’ve built or helped build 14 companies from the ground up. Along the way, I realized that most small business owners are flying blind when it comes to their finances—not because they’re bad at business, but because no one ever showed them how to read the story their numbers are trying to tell. That’s where I come in. I created the Clear Path to Cash framework—a practical system that shows people how to improve their cash flow, increase profitability, and build a more valuable business using real data, real fast. I’ve taught it to over 25,000 business owners, CPAs, bookkeepers, and bankers—and helped them uncover more than $150 million in hidden cash. But I’m not just about the numbers. I’m about helping people make better decisions—and have better conversations. That’s why I wrote three books: The 7 Minute Conversation – Learn to analyze financial statements in less time than it takes to finish your coffee.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Through the Gates of Hell: American Injustice at Guantanamo BayAn inspiring true story about an American attorney and his client confronting prejudice and persecution in a prison outside the law, as one fights for the other’s freedom, and the other fights for his life.“We’ll be watching,” the sergeant said, pointing at a video monitor inside Camp Echo’s guard booth. “For your protection.”In 2004, attorney Joshua Colangelo-Bryan arrived at Guantanamo Bay to meet Jaber Mohammed, one of six Bahraini detainees his firm had agreed to represent. Colangelo-Bryan had heard these men were “among the most dangerous, best-trained, vicious killers on the face of the earth,” as Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld put it. Colangelo-Bryan didn’t buy the rhetoric, but did find himself wondering if he was about to meet a killer.Far from being threatening, though, Mohammed welcomed Colangelo-Bryan, even as his ankle was shackled to the floor. Why was Mohammed there? Was he guilty of a crime? These were among the questions Colangelo-Bryan had to answer. Surprisingly, the two spoke for hours about their lives. Mohammed also detailed the inhumane conditions at the prison, including abuse by guards and solitary confinement.A friendship grew over time, as Colangelo-Bryan worked to bring justice to Mohammed. The Bush administration claimed any “enemy combatant” could be held in Guantanamo forever without a trial, and it became clear that litigation was unlikely to free the Bahrainis. And so, as Mohammed lost hope, Colangelo-Bryan devised a plan to leverage the media and pressure the Bahraini government to negotiate for the release of its citizens. Colangelo- Bryan’s long fight for the Bahrainis was ultimately successful, and in 2007, after several suicide attempts, Mohammed was freed.Through the Gates of Hell is a powerful account of an unlikely friendship and what it takes to fight for human rights in the post–9/11 era.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ashish SinghAward-Winning Life Coach & Author Helping People Navigate Anxiety, Burnout, and Life Transitions — Without Toxic PositivityI didn’t come to this work through theory — I came to it through lived experience.Like many people I work with now, I’ve moved through periods of anxiety, burnout, and deep uncertainty where the usual advice to “stay positive” didn’t help — and sometimes made things harder. On the outside, life looked functional and successful. Internally, there was fatigue, questioning, and a quiet sense of disconnection that I didn’t have language for at the time.What shifted things wasn’t a dramatic breakthrough or a forced mindset change. It was learning how to slow down enough to listen — to stress, to discomfort, to the signals we’re often taught to override. Over time, I began exploring resilience not as toughness or optimism, but as the ability to stay grounded and honest when life feels heavy or unclear.That personal journey eventually shaped my work as a life coach and the writing of my book, The Northern Light Within. Along the way, my approach has been recognized within the wellness community, including being named among top life coaches in Toronto and receiving recognition for the book’s thoughtful approach to resilience and calm.On podcasts, I tend to resonate most with audiences who are tired of surface-level motivation and are looking for thoughtful, human conversations about anxiety, burnout, self-discovery, and inner calm. I don’t offer quick fixes or rigid frameworks — instead, I bring perspective, language, and practical ways of relating to challenges that listeners can integrate in their own lives.If your podcast explores mental health, personal growth, or meaningful life transitions, I aim to contribute a conversation that feels honest, grounding, and quietly hopeful — one that listeners sit with long after the episode ends.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Maren PerryMaren Perry; Founder & CEO, Arden Coaching. Dynamic, relatable, smart guest for podcasts on the HUMAN SIDE of LEADERSHIP. Expert in executive coaching, leadership, and making the host look great!f your audience is tired of leadership advice that sounds like it was written by a committee, we’re going to get along. My style is direct, smart, and just light enough to make even the tough topics go down easy. I’ve been told I bring energy and charisma to the table — the kind that makes people lean in, laugh a little, and most importantly, take something useful back to their teams on Monday morning. (Think less “trust fall exercise,” more “let’s solve the problems that actually keep you up at night.”)I’m Maren Perry, Founder and CEO of Arden Coaching. For nearly two decades, I’ve partnered with CHROs, VPs of HR, and senior executives across some of America’s largest companies to design leadership development that actually sticks. Not the “check-the-box” kind of training, but the kind that transforms people — and by extension, organizations.Here’s what your audience can expect from me: not just the “what” and the “why,” but the “how.” How to make leadership development practical instead of theoretical. How to engage senior leaders in coaching when their calendars (and egos) are already full. How HR and talent executives can partner with coaching to make a measurable difference in retention, culture, and performance.I’ve seen this in action. One client organization I’ve worked with for over a decade grew tenfold while simultaneously transforming its culture. By coaching leaders at every level — from the C-suite to rising managers — we helped build a workplace where people wanted to stay, contribute, and grow. That’s the power of investing in leadership as a competitive advantage.I bring a unique perspective that blends science and humanity. My background in cognitive science means I understand how the brain works under stress, how habits form, and how people actually change. Pair that with thousands of hours coaching senior leaders in industries from healthcare to finance to Major League Soccer, and you’ve got a recipe for conversations that are both insightful and practical.If your listeners are HR leaders, senior executives, or anyone responsible for building the next generation of leaders, they’ll walk away with fresh insights, actionable strategies, and a new way of looking at leadership. Because leadership isn’t just about business results — it’s about people. And when leaders get that right, everything else falls into place.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Vitalii KhyzhniakSocial Shopping Expert | TikTok Shop StrategistFor 8+ years, I've been in the trenches—Amazon, Walmart, TikTok Shop, Shopify—building the systems that turn platforms into profit centers while most brands were still figuring out their first marketplace listing.

I build frameworks.While others talk about going viral, I'm building scalable affiliate pipelines, hero-product strategies, and repeatable content systems that generate predictable revenue—not lucky moments. I've watched ecommerce shift from intent-based search to discovery-driven platforms, and I've rebuilt entire operational models to match.Based between the U.S. and Poland, I bring a global lens most strategists miss. My work lives at the intersection of performance, operations, and team leadership—helping founders and growth leaders move beyond traditional playbooks and build systems that actually perform.No fluff. No agency pitch decks. Just actionable frameworks, real data, and strategic clarity for brands ready to scale in 2026 and beyond.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Michelle PippinFrom Repair Shop to Research: A Thought Leader's Perspective on What the Automotive Industry Teaches Us About Leadership and GenderWomen don’t usually plan careers in the automotive industry, yet many build long, meaningful careers there without formal preparation or clear pathways. I know this because I lived it. I entered the industry unexpectedly, learned the work on the job, and eventually moved into leadership within independent automotive repair organizations. Along the way, I began to notice patterns in how women were recruited, trained, promoted, and retained, often through informal systems that were never designed with them in mind.To better understand those patterns, I stepped into doctoral research focused on women’s career paths in male-dominated industries, using the automotive repair industry as my primary context. My work examines how women develop credibility, acquire complex knowledge, and grow into leadership roles without clear pipelines or formal support structures. I bring both lived experience and research-informed insight to conversations about career development, leadership, and workplace culture.Podcast audiences gain practical value from these conversations because they help women make sense of experiences they often struggle to name. I speak to women navigating unplanned career paths, learning in high-pressure environments, and leading teams while managing credibility, relationships, and expectations. Listeners walk away with clearer language for their experiences, a deeper understanding of how careers actually unfold, and insight they can apply to their own leadership and professional growth.Hosts often find that this story resonates with audiences beyond the automotive industry. The themes of informal learning, leadership without a roadmap, and navigating male-dominated workplaces apply across trades, business, and organizational settings. Whether an audience is made up of women early in their careers, women stepping into leadership, or leaders responsible for developing others, the conversation offers clarity, perspective, and grounded insight rather than surface-level inspiration.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

But the part that matters most to your audience isn’t the title .. it’s the truth beneath it.I spent nearly two decades breaking barriers in a male-dominated world that was not ready for me. Behind the uniform was a woman carrying invisible injuries: bullying, discrimination, misogyny, toxic leadership, and years of silence that cost me my identity, my voice, and my well-being.What your audience will connect with is not just the hardship, but what came after: the rebuilding, the perspective shift, the self-ownership, and the fire it takes to rise from what tried to destroy you.Today, I teach people how to reclaim their power after trauma by challenging their beliefs, owning what role they are playing in their own suffering, and breaking patterns of silence and self-abandonment. I show people how to stop living from fear and survival .. and start living and thriving from truth.And I bring something most speakers can’t: the personal experience to back every lesson I teach.I lived it before I taught it. I didn’t read about resilience .. I bled for it. I didn’t study adversity .. I survived it.I truly believe I was given this mountain to show others that it can be moved.Your audience will walk away with a real, relatable story of adversity in a world that told me I didn’t belong and I was on my own, a trauma-informed understanding of why people stay silent, stuck, or powerless, tools to regulate their nervous system and reclaim control in overwhelming moments, empowerment to stop abandoning themselves and start choosing their own voice, and hope and proof that it’s possible to rise, even when the system is built against you!Whether your show focuses on mental health, resilience, women’s empowerment, healing, leadership, first responders, personal development, or transformational storytelling, I bring a message that resonates with anyone who has ever felt underestimated, powerless, voiceless, or alone in their struggle.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Kern CarterNovelist and Entrepreneur making a living with words.I'm living a dream. I told myself at 8 years old that I would be a novelist and that is exactly the life I'm living today. That said, it took a lot to get here. I dropped out of high school at 18 when I became a father. But I believed so much in the power of education that I found a way to earn my final credit then accepted a full athletic scholarship to play basketball at a university in Upstate New York. University is where I started writing my first novel in earnest. After self-publishing my first two books, I secured an agent and signed my first publishing deal in 2021, then two more in 2022 with Penguin and Scholastic. I currently have multiple publishing contracts. I also have a thriving creative business that includes Film Production (one of my films is on Amazon Prime Video), Ghostwriting, and building platforms for emerging writing and creative talent. My story is all about perseverance and strategy. I didn't get here by accident. I planned each step of my journey with precision and now I'm living the live I've always dreamed of.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Lisa HaynesRetired and Killin' It: The Ultimate Retirement PlanI remember the moment I decided to retire. It wasn’t a long, drawn-out process. An executive coach I was working with asked me a few questions to help me think about what I wanted in my next role. After I sat down and completed the exercise, it hit me: I didn’t want another role. I was ready to retire—and to finally do other things I had put off for years.After I retired, I was invited to speak on a leadership panel at MBA’s mPowering You conference. On that stage, I told the audience, “I’m retired and killin’ it.”That moment stuck with me. Later, I became a certified executive coach and discovered retirement coaching—a field focused on helping people prepare for and transition into retirement, emphasizing the non-financial side of this life stage that so many overlook.That led me to create the KILLIN’ IT formula and write the book Retired and Killin’ It to help others navigate life after work with clarity and purpose.An estimated 14.8 million Boomers will retire in the next five years—and most are unprepared for what comes after the paycheck stops. I’m here to help them step confidently into this next season, using my KILLIN’ IT formula to build purpose, connection, and joy in the years ahead.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Garrett WoodGarrett Wood, NBC-HWC, is a clinical hypnotherapist and executive functioning specialist helping high-achievers turn burnout into breakthrough with his A³ Framework for sustainable success.Early in my career, I fell into the same trap as so many high performers — pouring everything into output, measuring worth by achievement, and ignoring the body’s warnings. I watched bright colleagues grow cynical, disconnected, and lost to exhaustion — and felt those same patterns in my own life. Then one tragic loss shattered the illusion of “success at any cost,” revealing the truth: when self-worth is tied to achievement alone, it can strip away your health, your relationships, and even your life. That moment ignited my mission — because no one should have to lose their life, health, wealth, or relationships in the pursuit of success.Sustainable success is built through your well-being — not at its expense. Because success isn’t real if it costs your health, your relationships, or your peace of mind.Burnout isn’t about your calendar, your inbox, or your to-do list. It’s about a mismatch between what your nervous system needs and what your environment demands. The bigger the gap, the sooner you burn out. My A³ Framework — Assess, Accommodate, Align — gives high-achievers a nervous-system-first approach to sustainable success.I am a National Board–Certified Health and Wellness Coach, clinical hypnotherapist, executive functioning specialist and founder of Gnosis Therapy. For nearly two decades, I've helped high-achieving, high-masking professionals turn burnout into breakthroughs using outcome based coaching, clinical hypnotherapy and somatic regulation.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Brian Van KornHealthcareless" One man's triumphant journey thru a fractured healthcare system.HelloI am seeking out concerned podcasters who are deeply concerned about the current state of the healthcare system. It feels like we are increasingly becoming a bottom-line-driven system, where patients and medical personnel are seen as nothing more than (Profit Generating Units).My own experience is a testament to this. I went to the hospital in excruciating pain, only to be dismissed by an exhausted doctor who labeled me a drug addict. Despite my deteriorating condition, I was discharged twice, and even forced to stand, resulting in me crashing to the Emergency Room floor. That was just one of the many brutal trials I faced in my 5 months in the hospital.This experience left me questioning what causes a doctor, who has dedicated their life to healing, to turn into someone who causes harm. The answer, I believe, lies in the pressures of the profit-driven system. Doctors and medical personnel are overworked and exhausted, leading to clouded judgment and a focus on efficiency over patient care.I am sharing my story because I don't want anyone else to experience the full brunt force of what I call the "Healthcareless" system. I look to change this system through awareness and education. To provide life saving knowledge on how to navigate the Healthcareless system and advocate for themselves.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Kurt EllenbergerHearing Math & Seeing Sound: The Mysteries of Music and EvolutionFrom the beginning of my career, I've had strong interdisciplinary interests, blending music with science, philosophy, aesthetics, and culture to uncover the profound "why" behind sound's emotional pull—not just for scholars, but for general audiences hungry for those illuminating connections. As a pianist (retired), composer, and Professor of Music at Grand Valley State University's Frederik Meijer Honors College, I enjoy translating complex ideas into clear, engaging explanations geared toward a general, albeit inquisitive, audience. For instance, in my article "Music and Evolution: Hearing Math, Seeing Sound, and Other Unanswered Questions," I examine how our brains instinctively perceive octaves as geometric symmetries, questioning Darwinian explanations for this evolutionary trait. https://www.allaboutjazz.com/music-and-evolution-hearing-math-seeing-sound-and-other-unanswered-questionsSimilarly, my three-part series "The Plaintive Sigh of a Sonic Doppelgänger: Why Are Minor Chords Perceived as 'Sad'?" breaks down the spectral clashes that create the melancholy of the minor key, making the underlying math accessible to non-musicians.
