257 - Cassa Grant ”I’m an imposter! ...and other terrifying ideas”
On Todays episode, Alan talks with leadership and branding coach Cassa Grant about living in Antarctica, how we're all insecure and how we can battle to gain confidence in life and leadership
About Cassa
I grew up on a ranch in Montana, became a teacher, a university lecturer, and worked in Antarctica supporting scientific research on and off for five years.
Oh, and I also lived in Prague and drove an adventure travel bus around the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Now I spend quite a bit of time in New Zealand.
Along the way, I’ve heard some amazing stories (and made a few of my own).
The nerdburger part of my story:
My master’s thesis explored the use of green branding in the redevelopment of post-industrial spaces.
Which basically means I delved into the psychology behind what makes people want to live in condos that are built on old toxic dumps.
How did the redevelopment companies do it? Branding. Storytelling.
But I want to use branding and storytelling to do good things.
And I want to help you do that, too.

About Steve
I born and raised in Southern California, the fifth-born of a big, fat Mexican family I dearly love and who has been through a lot.

250 - Alan Briggs ” Creativity and Leadership”
You may think "I don't have a creative bone in my body."
However, if you are in leadership, you are creative. It may not be in the narrow sense that we've defined it, only within the arts. But leadership is helping to guide people into a new experience, challenge or preferred future and that journey is inherently creative.
In this episode, we do something a little different. Alan had the opportunity to speak to a leadership class at Denver Seminary about creativity and leadership.
Whether you classify yourself as a creative or not - if you are a leader in any sense of the word, this episode is for you.
