🎙️ Introducing Leadership Explored

A New Podcast for Modern Leaders

What if better leadership isn’t about being perfect—but about being real?

That question is at the heart of Leadership Explored, a new podcast launching April 8, hosted by Ed Schaefer and Andy Siegmund. Between the two of us, we’ve spent decades in the trenches of leadership—coaching, managing, mentoring, building teams, and learning (sometimes the hard way) what it really takes to lead with purpose and integrity in today’s evolving workplace.

We created Leadership Explored because we believe leadership conversations need to change. They need to get more honest. More nuanced. Less “Top 5 Hacks” and more “Here’s what happened when I failed—and what I learned from it.”

This podcast is our contribution to that shift.

Each episode explores a different dimension of leadership:
🧭 Navigating ethical dilemmas
💬 Communicating with clarity and empathy
🏗️ Building healthy, adaptable team cultures
🚫 Learning from leadership missteps
🌍 Preparing for the future of work—together

Our goal is to make leadership feel less performative and more human. Less about dominance or charisma—and more about connection, discernment, and impact.

Episode 01 drops April 8

In our intro episode, we’ll share why we started this podcast, what shaped our leadership journeys, and what you can expect going forward. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at what drives us—and why we believe this show will matter to leaders at every level.

We’ll be releasing new episodes every other Tuesday, covering real-world challenges, practical strategies, and the personal stories that don’t usually get shared in corporate playbooks.

Who is Leadership Explored for?

If you're a current or aspiring leader who wants to grow—not just your skill set but your self-awareness—this show is for you. Whether you're managing a team, mentoring others, or trying to lead yourself well in a complex world, you’ll find value here.

And if you’ve ever felt like you’re “supposed to have it all figured out”—welcome. You’re in the right place.
