The Business of Life with Dr King

Send us Fan Mail Rejection can either harden you or shape you, and Ahan chooses the second option. He joins us from India with a simple mission that turns out to be quietly radical: spot real opportunities, share them publicly, and help people from every walk of life feel less lost about their next step. What starts as posting on LinkedIn becomes a growing mentoring network, where one piece of information can lead to an internship, a volunteer placement, or a brand-new career direction. We d...

Send us Fan Mail What if confidence wasn’t a feeling but a record you keep? We sit down with Octavia Goredema—author, leadership development strategist and coach—to explore how a childhood letter to a publisher grew into a mission to help people do their best work and speak about it without cringing. From a high‑pressure PR career to a coaching practice that serves teams across the US, Canada, Europe and the Middle East, Goredema shares the key moments that reshaped her path and the tools she...

Send us Fan Mail Leadership gets easier when you stop trying to be the hero and start building the village. We sit down with Kyle Cronk, president and CEO of a YMCA and an executive and life coach, to unpack a simple but radical truth: leadership is about people. Kyle shares how he moved from answer‑giver to convener, and why co‑creating guiding principles with his team outperforms any top‑down manifesto.

We draw a sharp line between two website roles: the informational site that exp...

We sit down with Dr Suzanne Simpson, a veteran educator who left elite French immersion to teach on a psychiatric unit and now leads an alternative programme for teens navigating anxiety, substance use, and trauma. The picture she paints is raw and hopeful: classrooms as triage zones, yes, but also as places where a simple “What’s up?” can open a door that grades and detentions never could. We un...

Send us Fan Mail The moment a gallery visit turns into a dinner and a documentary deal, you realise some careers are built on curiosity meeting readiness. We sit down with producer Marc Sternberg, who left a two-decade marketing run to build films that carry real weight—projects that start with a strong why, gather great teams, and earn their audience through clarity and craft. He shares how COVID pushed a reset, how Oxford sharpened his storytelling chops, and why producing became the perfec...

Send us Fan Mail What if the strongest thing a man can do is feel? Gary Turner joins us to unpack a lifetime of conditioning—from schoolyard bullying to corporate stoicism—and rebuilds masculinity on a foundation of empathy, courage and community. His story moves from numbing and burnout to a quiet revolution: dropping the strongman script and choosing presence over performance. We dive into the mechanics of unhealthy masculinity without shutting the door on the men we hope to reach. Gary ex...
