It's Time for Leadership To Evolve: an interview with the author of The Neuro-Resilient Leader, Angus Nelson
How can leaders build stability in a world that is operating on 24/7 disruption?
Author of Neuro-Resilient Leader, Angus Nelson joins Brad to share his journey from burnout to breakthroughs.
Angus points out that today's leaders are using outdated strategies and tactics more suited to a workforce from 50 years ago, and unsustainable in today's business climate.
This is a powerful interview as Angus dares us to be better leaders.
ABOUT ANGUS NELSON:
We’re entering a period where leaders face more information, speed, and uncertainty than any generation before them.
AI is accelerating decisions.
Markets are volatile.
Expectations are relentless.
But most leaders are still operating with an internal operating system built for a slower world.
Neuro Resilient Leader explores how leaders can upgrade that system — so they can lead with clarity instead of reacting from pressure.
Angus Nelson is the author of Neuro Resilient Leader and founder of Evolve Leadership. He helps entrepreneurs and high-performing leaders install Leadership Stability — the ability to make clear, high-stakes decisions without burnout by recalibrating the nervous system.
He has advised executives at Cisco, FedEx, and Workday and shares his C³ Protocol — Clarity, Capacity, and Composure — with leaders navigating pressure, uncertainty, and rapid change.

In The Interest of Justice, with Emmy® Award Winning Actress Martha Byrne
Martha Byrne seemed to have it all: steady work on the soap opera As The World Turns, several Emmy Awards, three beautiful children from her husband, NYPD sergeant Michael McMahon.
Then all hell broke lose. While retired and now a private investigator, her husband Michael was asked to work on a case out of China. A simple review and investigation to confirm a few things. Just paperwork, a few interviews and some phone calls. Easy.
Suddenly the FBI is knocking on their door and Michael is thrust into a penitentiary for a crime that he didn't commit.
Martha fought to get her husband out and prove his innocence. Her battle is laid bare in her book, "In The Interest Of Justice."
This episode will make you question who is really running our country, the incompetence of the prosecution and the defense, and how an innocent man could be put through hell.
ABOUT MARTHA BYRNE:
Emmy winning actress Martha Byrne is blessed with a successful and lengthy career on legendary daytime soap operas, i.e... As the World Turns and General Hospital and being married to her true love, NYPD sergeant Michael McMahon, for over 30 years.
Everything in their lives changed when the Biden DOJ waged an attack on her family weaponizing the law against him, a highly decorated, retired NYPD detective, for committing no crime and given no fair due process.
Michael was sentenced to 18 months in a federal penitentiary but Martha began a battle to save her husband.
Her story needs to be shared as another example beyond January 6 of the previous administration’s lawfare, corruption, incompetence and contempt for the law.
The story is revealed in her book “In the Interest of Justice" (Post Hill Press), now available on Amazon.

The Art & Science of Trauma Release, with Jodi Parker

[…] It's also toxins, whether it's glyphosate or fluoride or the many things that we talk about. It's also terrain theory. And if you cut a strawberry and you leave it out, where's the mold grow? On the cut. It's the same thing in the body. If you have a trauma that is unhealed, it's in essence a wound. And that's where everything goes. That's where things show up. And energetically speaking, if we're talking quantum physics, then that is a frequency. And when you switch the frequency, you switch the way that you show up in the world. And that affects how people treat you. And so collectively, if you ever, you see my Facebook posts, I always say the change begins within and we do this together. […]
