How Leaders Lead with David Novak

David Novak

Booking Overview

This leadership interview show features candid conversations with highly prominent CEOs, founders, coaches, athletes, and other high-profile leaders from business, sports, and entertainment. A PR agency could credibly pitch nationally recognized executives, accomplished founders, elite coaches or athletes with substantial leadership lessons, and prominent authors or thought leaders, but booking is very difficult because the show’s guest roster is dominated by iconic, senior-level figures.

October 22, 2026

Good news for anyone who doesn’t have all the answers: you don’t need them. You just need the right people in the room—and the humility to hire them.  Kyle Leahy has used this leadership philosophy to build strong brands and teams at Glossier, Nike, and now, at WHOOP as the Chief Commercial Officer. She calls it outhiring yourself: bringing in the right mix of specialists who know more than you, then unlocking that expertise around a big, strategic vision. Is it unnerving? Yes. Does i...
