The Dov Baron Show

Part 2 of 2 of my conversation with a rare and iconic human, Dame Stephanie Shirley.  Who the world lost in the summer of 2025 What is true resilience?  . What if the very thing that almost broke you became the key to you in changing the world? . Dame Stephanie Shirley is not just a tech pioneer, she is living proof that resilience is forged in fire. From a childhood escape on the Kindertransport, to founding the first all-women software company in 1962 (decades before anyone whispered “remote work”), to building a $3 billion empire that created 70 millionaires, her story reads like legend. But what makes her extraordinary is not her success, it is how she faced trauma, breakdown, and the raw reality of raising an autistic son—and turned it into fuel for innovation, compassion, and radical philanthropy. . In this episode, we go deeper: how values-based hiring became her secret weapon, why Dame Shirley believes President Zelensky embodies the future of leadership, and how suffering, when confronted, can reveal who we truly are. If you think resilience means grinding harder, prepare to have that illusion shattered. . This isn’t a feel-good tale of triumph. It’s a masterclass in what it really takes to lead, build, break, and rebuild—without losing your humanity. . In this conversation, Dame Stephanie Shirley reveals: How trauma in childhood revealed her disruptive entrepreneurial DNA Why values, not skills, determine the fate of a business What Zelensky teaches us about the new face of leadership The brutal truth about resilience (and why most people misunderstand it) How breakdown became her turning point toward compassion and purpose The radical shift in how society views autism, and why neurodiversity is leadership’s untapped advantage Why philanthropy, done right, gives back far more than money ever could . Dame Shirley’s story forces you to ask yourself: What parts of me have I disenfranchised in the name of fitting in, and what would happen if I brought them back? About Dame Stephanie Shirley Founder of Freelance Programmers, the world’s first all-women software company (1962) Scaled to 8,500 employees and a $3 billion valuation Transformed women’s opportunities in technology, creating 70 millionaires in the process Knighted as a Dame, awarded the Companion of Honour Pioneering philanthropist in autism research, education, and venture philanthropy 🔥 If you’re ready to go beyond inspiration into deep transformation, subscribe now.

Welcome to The Dov Baron Show, where today we continue to confront a question that few dare to ask in this era of relentless ambition: What happens when everything you’ve worked for—fame, power, wealth—feels utterly empty? . In a world where AI is reshaping industries and pop culture reigns supreme, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters. We live in a time where people know more about the Kardashians than the policies shaping our future. And yet, behind the glossy facade of success lies a deeper struggle—a paradox that even the world’s top achievers face. . . This is the second of a two part interview with the brilliant Keren Eldad, author of "Gilded" and executive coach to the world’s elite. Keren has worked with powerhouses like Estée Lauder, LVMH, Deutsche Bank, Nike, and countless others, helping high-flyers who seem to have it all but feel unfulfilled inside. . In this episode, we’re diving into The Super Achievers Paradox—the disconnect between outward success and inner fulfillment. Keren’s personal journey and her work with some of the biggest names in business will reveal how even the highest achievers can find themselves lost in the pursuit of more. But more importantly, she’ll show us the path to rediscovering clarity, joy, and purpose. . Get ready to rethink what true success means.

🎙️ The Skills You Need for “Impossible” Conversations . 👉 What if the very people you’ve written off as “the other side” are the key to healing the deepest divides in your life, and your country? Episode Summary: When was the last time you really listened to someone who fundamentally disagrees with you? Not to debate. Not to win. But to actually understand. In Part 2 of my powerful and enlightening conversation with Simon Greer, founder of Bridging the Gap and one of the most courageous voices in conflict transformation, we move beyond theory into practice.  . This isn’t about “being nice.” It’s about reclaiming our humanity, one conversation at a time. . Simon shares the five core skills that can turn the conversations you dread into the conversations that change everything: 🥊 Strong Back, Soft Front: How to stand in your truth without being rigid or reactive. 👂 The Listening Shift: Why the art of an open-ended question can melt decades of division. 📝 Storytelling for Connection: How sharing your own truth (not just “facts”) can pierce walls facts never will. 🔄 Feedback That Opens Doors: How to disagree without burning the bridge you need to cross. ⚖️ Power Reimagined: Why real power in dialogue isn’t about who’s louder—it’s about who’s willing. . Along the way, you’ll hear Simon recount: .✅ Sitting down with Glenn Beck after a very public conflict, and what happened when he decided to show up with “a strong back and a soft front.” ✅ What mass shooter drills, deer hunting, and gun rights reveal about America’s most profound cultural fissures. ✅ Why “platforming” those we disagree with isn’t a weakness, it’s the only way forward. This episode is a masterclass for any leader, parent, partner, or citizen who’s tired of screaming matches and silent withdrawals, and is ready to step into courageous conversations that could literally change the future. Why Listen: Because staying in your bubble feels safe, but it’s costing us everything.

🔥 When was the last time you had a conversation with someone who saw the world completely differently from you… and walked away with more respect, not more rage? SHOW DESCRIPTION: Polarization has become the oxygen we breathe, but what if there’s another way? In this raw, edge-of-your-seat conversation, Dov Baron sits down with Simon Greer, founder of Bridging the Gap, to tackle the question we’re all secretly asking: Can we still talk across divides without losing our minds… or our humanity? . Raised in a left-wing Jewish family on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, Simon grew up in an environment where dinner conversations weren’t just political, they were ideological battlegrounds. His early life, from Jewish Communist summer camps to a career in progressive politics, shaped him into a fighter for “change.” . But here’s the twist: Simon realized he wasn’t just fighting for change, he was fighting to be right. Then came his personal identity crisis. The loss of his job and his carefully crafted “progressive warrior” persona shattered everything. Out of that rubble, he made a radical pivot: seeking out the very people he once demonized, white working-class conservatives, business leaders, evangelical Christians, even prison guards and formerly incarcerated people, to ask a new question: “How can we build bridges without asking anyone to give up their tribe?” 👉 This isn’t about polite bipartisanship. It’s about impossible conversations, sitting down with people who fundamentally disagree with you (even about your eternal soul) and still finding a way to honor each other’s humanity. Simon shares: 🏕️ What Jewish Communist summer camp taught him about identity & tribe (and why those early ideologies still matter). 🥊 How losing everything freed him from a rigid identity — and how that same breaking point might be the catalyst for healing America. 🌉 Why bridging divides isn’t about erasing differences — but honoring them. 📜 The powerful story of a Muslim friend whose family fought Israel — and how they became allies. 🛑 The truth about polarization: It’s not that we have tribes; it’s that we’re being played into them. . This isn’t just another podcast episode. It’s a field guide for leaders who are ready to do the uncomfortable work of listening, learning, and leading differently. About Simon Greer . Simon Greer is the founder of Bridging the Gap, a national initiative training the next generation of civic leaders to engage across divides with honesty and courage. He has advised movements, mentored changemakers, and spent decades at the intersection of faith, politics, and social change. Contact Simon Greer: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simon-greer-5b8549b2/   What You’ll Learn in This Episode ✅ Why “normal” isn’t healthy, it’s just what you grew up with. ✅ How to push past the billboard version of someone to find the real human underneath. ✅ Why identity-shattering moments (even job loss) can be the greatest gift you never wanted. ✅ The difference between bipartisanship and true bridging — and why the latter is harder, deeper, and absolutely necessary. ✅ How to hold your tribe with pride, without turning someone else’s tribe into the enemy. 🎧 This Episode Will Hook You to the End This conversation is uncomfortably honest, deeply human, and wildly hopeful. It doesn’t offer kumbaya clichés. Instead, it asks you to step into the messy, sacred middle, where the future of leadership, and perhaps the country lies. 💥 Listener Challenge After listening, ask yourself: What’s one “impossible” conversation I’ve been avoiding… and what might happen if I had it?   📌 Hashtags for Apple & LinkedIn Discovery #CourageousConversations #BridgingTheGap #Leadership #SimonGreer #DovBaron #FutureOfLeadership #Tribalism #IdentityCrisis #Polarization #HumanConnection
