| 1/27/26 | ![]() Reclaiming Authentic Beauty Through Functional Aesthetics with Cathy Goldstein - 118 | What if aging isn’t something to fight, fix, or freeze, but something to express?In this episode of the Leading Visionaries, host Anjel B.

| 1/20/26 | ![]() Finding Safety in Yourself with Luis Mojica - 117 | What if the biggest thing blocking your vision is not your strategy, but your nervous system. In this episode of the Leading Visionaries, host Anjel B. Hartwell sits down with Luis Mojica, somatic therapist, trauma nutritionist, musician, and founder of Holistic Life Navigation, for a powerful conversation about what it really takes to lead, create, and build sustainably. Luis shares how his lineage shaped his visionary capacity, why he experiences creativity as a kind of natural “psychedelic” communion, and how developmental trauma can become an initiation into purpose. If you are a visionary who wants to create without burning out, this episode is a great place to reset.What You Will Learn:How Luis defines visionary leadership through lineage, migration, and the courage to leave what is familiar.Why imagination and “psychic” creativity can be a natural lived experience, not something you have to force through rituals.How developmental trauma can function as an initiation that shapes purpose over time.What “capacity” means in somatic terms and why it determines how well you can metabolize stress.How constriction in the body impacts leadership, marketing, and decision-making.Why money can be the biggest challenge for service-led visionaries and how boundaries create healthier reciprocity.How Food Therapy reframes nutrition as a tool for trauma recovery, anxiety relief, and stress navigation.Why lowering stress hormones changes the quality of imagination from scarcity and urgency into spacious possibility.How Luis grew Holistic Life Navigation by responding to need rather than following a rigid long-term vision.Why building a team based on trust, relational fit, and shared mission can be more effective than hiring on credentials alone.A simple leadership filter you can use quarterly: keep what you love doing and delegate what drains you.Resource:Luis MojicaHolistic Life NavigationThe HLN PodcastLeading Visionaries PodcastJoin the Leading Visionaries CommunityMake a Donation to Support the ShowCreative Age Consulting Group | — | ||||||
| 1/13/26 | ![]() Leading From Behind with Saji Madapat - 116 | What does real leadership look like in a world obsessed with celebrity, conflict, and short-term wins? In this episode of the Leading Visionaries, host Anjel B. Hartwell sits down with Saji Madapat, a global transformation architect, author, and cultural myth-maker whose work spans Fortune 10 boardrooms, geopolitical strategy rooms, and ancient ritual traditions of Southern India. With more than 30 years of experience across 40+ countries, Saji brings a rare and provocative perspective on what leadership has become and what it must return to if we are to navigate the economic, social, and cultural disruptions of our time. This episode is an invitation for founders, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and conscious leaders to rethink what they are building, who they are becoming, and how they are leading in the Creative Age.What You Will Learn:Why modern leadership has shifted toward celebrity and conflict, and how that shift is eroding trust, stability, and long-term impact.How the core leadership qualities of charisma, confidence, and character have been diluted in today’s short-term, attention-driven culture.What it truly means to lead from behind and why this approach is essential in knowledge-based and people-powered organizations.How short-term “hunter” mindsets undermine organizational resilience during economic and cultural disruption.Why building sustainable, values-driven organizations requires patience, foresight, and a long-term leadership horizon.How historical leaders modeled strength without performative leadership or ego-driven authority.What Eastern leadership philosophies reveal about endurance, diagnostics, and long-term nation and business building.Why surrounding yourself with people who challenge your thinking is critical for innovation and conscious leadership.How leaders can prepare their organizations to weather uncertainty, volatility, and systemic change.Why character-based leadership outlasts charisma when markets shift and crises emerge.Resource:Saji MadapatLinkedInLeading Visionaries PodcastJoin the Leading Visionaries CommunityMake a Donation to Support the ShowCreative Age Consulting Group | — | ||||||
| 1/6/26 | ![]() Questions, Coaching, and Selling a Business for $37M with Max Lewis - 115 | What if the fastest way to scale isn’t doing more, but touching less. In this episode of the Leading Visionaries, host Anjel B. Hartwell sits down with Max Lewis, author of Who Is Max Lewis? Max went from selling mangoes as a kid to building a propane tank exchange business that ultimately sold for $37 million.This episode is a masterclass for founders, CEOs, and visionaries who feel capped by their own effort and are ready to step into the next version of leadership.What You Will Learn:Why vision is often developed through experience and small wins rather than arriving fully formed at the beginning.How staying the “single point of failure” quietly limits growth no matter how hard you work.Why the transition from operator to owner requires a complete identity shift, not just better systems.How learning to “not touch anything” becomes the most uncomfortable and necessary leadership upgrade.Why hiring friends may feel supportive early on but can cap the long-term potential of a business.How intentional thinking time becomes a strategic advantage for solving bigger problems and scaling faster.Why asking questions like what a $25M business owner knows clarifies exactly what you need to learn next.How learning just enough about a subject allows you to hire the right experts without becoming one yourself.How role playing reveals what your team does when you are not present and gives you the power to coach proactively.Why investing in education compounds forever because knowledge is something you never lose.How designing your physical environment can keep your vision, focus, and priorities aligned daily.What it looks like to scale through coaching, training, and trust instead of effort and exhaustion.Resource:Max LewisInstagramBook: Who is Max Lewis?Leading Visionaries PodcastJoin the Leading Visionaries CommunityMake a Donation to Support the ShowCreative Age Consulting Group | — | ||||||
