   15. Imposter Syndrome in Leadership (The Real Problem) - Salvatore Manzi

   In this episode of Walk With Me, Brother, Robb Pollard sits down with Salvatore Manzi, leadership communications coach and author, for a grounded conversation about imposter syndrome, fear, and what happens in the body during high stakes moments. Salvatore shares how his journey began early on, growing up in a conservative Midwestern household with Italian roots, and how losing his voice on stage during his first speaking experience led him to study presence, communication, and nervous system regulation. That moment became the foundation for more than two decades of work with founders, executives, and teams navigating visibility and pressure. Throughout the conversation, Salvatore reframes imposter syndrome not as a weakness, but as a signal that someone is stepping beyond a familiar identity. He explains why highly capable people experience it the most, how comparison intensifies self doubt, and why the brain is wired to interpret unfamiliar situations as danger. Robb and Salvatore explore how fear shows up in leadership, why confidence is often misunderstood, and how learning to regulate the nervous system allows leaders to stay present, authentic, and clear instead of performing or freezing under pressure. This episode is for leaders, speakers, entrepreneurs, and anyone who struggles to show up fully in moments that matter, and who wants a calmer, more embodied way to lead and communicate. Topics we cover: • Imposter syndrome and identity • Fear and nervous system responses • Leadership and high stakes communication • Presence over performance • Confidence versus comfort • Comparison and self doubt • Regulating the nervous system • Authentic leadership Salvatore Manzi Instagram: @salvatormanji Book: Clear and Compelling Communication https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FVT78N3C (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FVT78N3C) Host: Robb Pollard Instagram: @itsrobbp Walk With Me, Brother Instagram: @walkwithmebrother New episodes weekly.

   14. The Real Causes of The Gen Z Mental Health Crisis - Aly Vredenburgh

   In this episode of Walk With Me, Brother, Robb Pollard sits down with Aly Vredenburgh, author, researcher, and social innovator, for a grounded conversation about the systemic roots of the Gen Z mental health crisis. Aly shares how her own mental health struggles began in childhood and why losing her best friend became the catalyst for years of research into suicide prevention, belonging, and community based mental health. She challenges the idea that this crisis can be solved with better coping skills, mindfulness, or self care, and instead asks what is broken in the systems young people are growing up inside. Throughout the conversation, Aly explains why social media is not the root cause, how poverty and unmet basic needs are deeply tied to depression, and why belonging is one of the strongest predictors of mental health outcomes. She breaks down how culture, media, education, and policy contribute to rising anxiety, depression, and suicide rates among young people. Aly also discusses why the current mental health system is reactive rather than prevention based, how connection has been commodified, and what it would look like to build real community instead of treating mental health as an individual failure. This episode is for parents, educators, leaders, and anyone trying to understand why so many young people feel hopeless, overwhelmed, or disconnected, and what responsibility we share in changing that. Topics we cover: • The Gen Z mental health crisis • Belonging and community • Systems versus individual blame • Suicide prevention • Poverty and unmet basic needs • Culture, media, and mental health • Prevention versus crisis intervention • Creating instead of consuming Aly Vredenburgh Instagram: @alyvredenburgh Book: **Out of Focus.

   13. When Success Is Not Enough- Bill Leider

   In this episode of Walk With Me, Brother, Robb Pollard sits down with Bill Leider, author, executive advisor, and thought leader in personal and professional reinvention, for a grounded conversation about the in-between seasons of life. Bill shares how external success can quietly coexist with internal misalignment. After more than four decades in finance, leadership, and advising Fortune 500 companies and startups, he began to recognize the slow burn that comes from living according to expectations rather than purpose. Throughout the conversation, Bill explains how self-limiting beliefs often form early in life and remain unconscious drivers well into adulthood. He opens up about patterns of self-sabotage that appeared at the edge of success, and how neuroscience helps explain why the brain resists change through avoidance of discomfort and instant gratification. Bill breaks down how neuroplasticity allows the brain to be rewired over time, why deep reflection is necessary to uncover subconscious beliefs, and how forgiveness of self and others creates space for growth. He also introduces the question that anchors his work: “What would it take?” A question that quiets the ego and opens the door to possibility. This episode is for anyone who feels focused but lost, successful but unfulfilled, or aware that what they have is not what they need, and is ready to approach their next chapter with honesty and clarity. Topics we cover: • The in-between seasons of life • Success versus fulfillment • Self-limiting beliefs and sabotage • Neuroscience and behavior change • Neuroplasticity and habit formation • Reflection, forgiveness, and growth • Reinvention through better questions Bill Leider Instagram: @bill.leider Books: What’s Next: How to Make Your Next Chapter Your Best Chapter https://www.amazon.com/Whats-Next-Make-Your-Chapter/dp/1966550103/ (https://www.amazon.com/Whats-Next-Make-Your-Chapter/dp/1966550103/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) Mastering Your Balance https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Your-Balance-Leading-Potential/dp/1952233437/ (https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Your-Balance-Leading-Potential/dp/1952233437/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) Brand Illusions https://www.amazon.com/Brand-Illusions-Bill-Leer/dp/0985848802/ Host: Robb Pollard Instagram: @itsrobbp Walk With Me, Brother Instagram: @walkwithmebrother New episodes weekly.

   12. Befriend Yourself- Kathryn Remati

   Calm strength is not force. It is presence, self trust, and inner peace. In this episode of Walk With Me, Brother, Robb Pollard sits down with meditation and sleep expert, author, and wellness educator Kathryn Ramati for a grounded conversation about inner leadership, self love, and what real peace looks like in daily life. Kathryn shares her personal journey from a challenging childhood and teenage depression to discovering meditation at a pivotal moment that changed the direction of her life. What began as curiosity became decades of inner work, education, and teaching, including earning a degree in psychology and working as a health educator teaching classes on insomnia, stress, anxiety, and emotional well being. Throughout the conversation, Kathryn explains what meditation actually is and what it is not, why the belief that you must empty your mind is a myth, and how learning to observe thoughts instead of fighting them creates calm and clarity. She also speaks directly to the pressure many men live under, constantly giving to work, family, and responsibility while placing themselves last. Kathryn reframes success as inner peace rather than control or achievement, and offers practical guidance on self talk, journaling, meditation routines, and learning to let go instead of constantly pushing. This episode is for anyone who feels mentally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or stuck in constant self criticism, and is ready to slow down and build a calmer inner life. Topics we cover: • Calm strength and inner leadership • Meditation and mindfulness without myths • Self love as a foundation for mental health • Men and emotional pressure • Self talk and inner dialogue • Letting go and surrender • Building inner peace through daily practice Kathryn Ramati Instagram: @kathrynremati Website: https://lightenupretreat.com (https://lightenupretreat.com) Meditation App: https://tranquilmeapp.com (https://tranquilmeapp.com) Host: Robb Pollard Instagram: @itsrobbp Walk With Me, Brother Instagram: @walkwithmebrother New episodes weekly.

   11. Turning Grief into a Life of Service - Heidi Johnson

   🎙️ Episode Overview In this episode of Walk With Me, Brother, Robb Pollard sits down with nonprofit founder, storyteller, and advocate for service Heidi Johnson for a powerful conversation about grief, purpose, and healing through service. Heidi grew up in a close-knit Irish Catholic family where giving back was simply part of daily life. But everything changed in 2002, when a tragic accident took the lives of her mother and close family friends, and nearly claimed her father’s life. That moment became a turning point. In the midst of overwhelming grief, Heidi discovered that joy and sorrow can coexist, and that service can become a lifeline when pain has nowhere else to go. What followed was the founding of Spiritual Care Guild, a nonprofit that now provides 24/7 multi-faith chaplain support at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and has helped redefine hospital chaplaincy nationwide. Heidi also shares why she intentionally stepped away from the organization she built, how she went on to create Charity Matters, lead TASK, and why helping others has been central to her healing, clarity, and purpose. This episode is about what happens after loss, and how even one small act of kindness can begin to shift everything. If you are carrying grief, searching for meaning, or feeling stuck in pain, this conversation will meet you where you are. 🧠 What We Talk About • Grief and joy existing at the same time • Finding purpose after sudden loss • Healing through service • Building and letting go of what you create • Helping others as a path forward • Living fully after tragedy 🔗 Guest Links: Heidi Johnson Website: https://charity-matters.com (https://charity-matters.com) Instagram: @CharityMatters Instagram: @HeidiJohnsonOfficial Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CharityMattersLA (https://www.facebook.com/CharityMattersLA) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/heidi-mcniff-johnson-7758b225/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/heidi-mcniff-johnson-7758b225/) Twitter: @Charity_Matters Podcast: Charity Matters YouTube: Charity Matters Book Change for Good: https://www.sherisesstudios.com/heidi-johnson (https://www.sherisesstudios.com/heidi-johnson) 🎙️ Walk With Me, Brother Instagram: @walkwithmebrother Website: walkwithmebrother.com Host: Robb Pollard Instagram: @itsrobbp 👣 Subscribe and Follow Walk With Me, Brother is a space for honest conversations about mental health, healing, and rebuilding after life changes you.

   Robb sits down with Suzi Landolphi, a trauma informed therapist, equine assisted healing expert, and host of the Be Crazy Well podcast.

Her work spans combat veterans, first responders, and high performing public figures, including Jake Paul and Logan Paul, who have trusted her with deep emotional and somatic work. This episode explores the real roots of suffering that live inside the body, how trauma travels through families, and why healing requires movement, honesty, breath, and connection. Suzi explains why men are taught to disconnect from their emotions, how women end up carrying that emotional weight, and what it takes for men to finally build the life they deserve.
