We live in a fundamentally different America than we did at the turn of the millennium. It is an increasingly uneven, siloed America. Those dynamics are being accelerated and amplified by tech, media, and Covid. As has always been and always will be the case, these times call for a new kind of leadership. I'm Paul Shoemaker and for the last 30 years, I've had a unique vantage point and perspective on leaders across sectors, within corporate America, and in our local communities. What I was beginning to believe in early 2020 has become increasingly urgent with every passing day.
After a 3-month book launch sprint, it's time to step back for a minute and take stock of what's been learned. And where the conversation about leadership to reverse America's inequities goes from here. I can't think of anyone better to talk to than Richard Woo, 24-7 Auth Rebuilder, and Episode 2

Erica Valliant, Rebuilder
Talking w/ Erica Valliant, a leader with true complexity capacity
From AT&T to Homeless w/ her kids to Series 7 License to Operations Specialist to Foster Parent w/ 5 Kids to Whole Family Systems to World-class Community Leader. There is very little complexity she has not seen and that makes her the most effective kind of leader for the decade ahead.

Cecilia Gutierrez, Rebuilder
If the leadership trait, Generosity Mindset, seems at all vague or hard to grasp, it won't after listening to Cecilia Gutierrez. She is a leader that openly shares that she has felt "impostor syndrome" along the journey (haven't we all?) and yet I've only experienced her as a force of nature.

Felipe Moreno, Rebuilder
Felipe Moreno is a leader who knows who he is and he talked about "leading from where you are." Even if where you are is driving a solid waste truck. Throw out your preconceived notions about what leaders sound like in the solid waste business.

Nancy Girodano
On Rebuilders, we are bringing in future-thinking people to help us look at the leaders we need for the 2020s. Nancy Giordano is a strategist futurist who just published her new book, Leadering, which lays out a radically new approach to leadership. Nancy provides urgency and clarity around what 21st-century stewardship demands. We'll talk about the intersection between her lens on the future and the vital traits of Rebuilders.

Vicki Saunders, Trailblazer
We shift gears and bring in leadership voices from other places. SheEO is building an ecosystem to dramatically improve outcomes for women entrepreneurs working on the World’s to-do List. The perspective SheEO and Vicki bring to leadership is both simpatico with Rebuilders and makes abundantly clear how vital women leaders will be in the decade ahead.

As Cross-Sector as they come
Michelle Nunn saw U2 at a LiveAid Concert in 1985 and that inspired the belief in her that collective action could help change the world. Sometimes it starts that way. And today she is working on poverty all over the USA.

Kathy Calvin
As with many of our most effective Rebuilders, Kathy Calvin truly immersed herself in all three sectors and became a stronger leader for it. Along that journey, including the United Nations Foundation, she "learned" important lessons that can inform your leadership beliefs.

Richard Woo
Richard Woo thinks about leadership as deeply as anyone I've ever known. You may have to playback some of his thoughts two or three times but it's worth every minute as he helps you explore the kind of leader America needs you to be in the 2020s.

David Risher
David Risher had a phenomenal professional career, crossing paths with Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates, among others. His whole life journey has prepared him for the decade and provides each of us with critical ideas that can make us better leaders.

Rebuilders Introduction
We live in a fundamentally different America than we did at the turn of the millennium. It is an increasingly uneven, siloed America. Those dynamics are being accelerated and amplified by tech, media, and Covid. As has always been and always will be the case, these times call for a new kind of leadership. I’m Paul Shoemaker and for the last 30 years, I’ve had a unique vantage point and perspective on leaders across sectors, within corporate America, and in our local communities. What I was beginning to believe in early 2020 has become increasingly urgent with every passing day.
