Navigating Cross-Cultural Communication, Part 1 with Vicki Flier Hudson and Jeff Bond

In this episode of The Steward Chair, Maria Thacker Goethe, President and CEO of Georgia Life Sciences, shares her journey of transitioning from a dedicated "number two" to leading a massive ecosystem through a global pandemic. We explore how a commitment to mission and the guidance of mentors drives meaningful, long-term success even when the original plan is upended.

We discuss the critical role of a connector in the life sciences sector, the importance of "work-life harmony" over balance, and why true stewardship means preparing the next generation to lead. This conversation provides actionable takeaways for leaders committed to stewardship, integrity, and impact.

Key Takeaways
Purpose Over Tactics: In times of crisis, your "North Star" must be your organizational purpose, allowing your tactics to remain nimble and adaptive.
The Responsibility of Mentorship: Leadership is a societal responsibility; investing time in the next generation is essential because no leader is "here forever".
Embracing "Ready Enough": You don’t have to feel fully ready to step into a leadership seat; surrounding yourself with a community that believes in you is the key to moving forward through fear.

In today’s episode, Nathan Stuck sits down with J. Dontrese Brown, Founder and CEO of BROWNBAYLOR™, to unpack what he is doing to reimagine leadership through the lens of purpose, courage, and justice.

 

Dontrese is a creative strategist who "fell into" a deeper calling of community and civic leadership after realizing that corporate notoriety wasn't enough to satisfy his "Why." He is on a relentless pursuit to help others maximize their potential.

 

Nathan and Dontrese explore the concept of Audacious Confidence—the unshakable belief that every action we take creates a ripple effect for future generations. Dontrese also gives us a sneak peek into his upcoming book, Build for Justice, which serves as a call to action for leaders to lead with both their minds and their hearts.

Audacious Confidence: Building for Justice in Business and Community

In this episode of The Steward Chair, Jared Meyers, Founder & CEO of andCo, shares his journey of aligning personal values with professional leadership, exploring how authenticity in business drives meaningful, long-term success.

We discuss the often-overlooked emotional costs of inauthentic leadership, why financial outcomes alone are an incomplete measure of success, and how balancing personal identity with professional responsibility leads to healthier leaders and more resilient organizations.

Key Takeaways
When leaders act differently in business than they do in life, there is an emotional cost that impacts well-being and fulfillment.
Authenticity at work restores energy, clarity, and purpose, leading to stronger leadership and healthier cultures.
True stewardship requires balancing personal identity with professional responsibility, not separating the two.
