Show Notes

How do we build sustainable organizations that make real, lasting impact?

My guest this week on the Leadership Tales Podcast, Daniel Barker, is the Managing Director of the Halcyon Incubator in Washington DC. Halcyon is an incubator for businesses focused on social impact, an area that I am passionate about. Through Halcyon, Daniel is making a lot of headway for women and people of color in entrepreneurship.


Daniel has a fascinating background, beginning in foreign relations and moving on to hold a variety of titles at prominent financial and professional services firms. Through all of this, Daniel has consistently had his gaze set on impact and social change. We discuss the role of ego, and how learning from mentors’ rough patches has a huge impact on our journey as a leader.


I found myself enthralled with this episode, and I can’t wait for the day I make it to DC to meet Daniel and see Halcyon myself!
