My Children Took Over the Podcast | What They Taught Me About Leadership
About this episode
In this episode, Coach Dora Mendez's children co-host the podcast, leading to a heartfelt discussion about leadership and personal responsibility.
Show Notes This episode is different in the best way. In honor of Take Your Children to Work Day, Coach Dora invites her children to step into the role of co-hosts. What unfolds is a conversation that moves beyond leadership theory and into something more grounded, personal, and real. They ask about how the podcast is built, how leadership is practiced in teaching and business, and what advice she would give her younger self. But what makes this conversation meaningful is what happens in between the answers. There’s reflection. There’s honesty. And there’s a moment where leadership becomes less about strategy… and more about responsibility, example, and love. This episode is especially meaningful for anyone thinking about the kind of leader they want to be… not just at work, but in life. ⏱️ Episode Timestamps 00:00 – Leadership beyond the boardroom 00:55 – Podcast introduction and mission 01:20 – Children step in as co-hosts 02:23 – The podcast as a family collaboration 03:08 – How leadership conversations are structured 03:43 – The three questions every guest is asked 04:13 – Where podcast guests come from 05:02 – Teaching leadership in the classroom 05:49 – Staying organized as…
