Brad Formsma

Booking Overview

This is a biweekly leadership and business interview show featuring external founders, consultants, authors, attorneys, and community leaders who share practical stories about excellence, purpose, generosity, legacy, and organizational culture. Agencies could credibly pitch experienced entrepreneurs, CEOs, leadership experts, family-business advisers, authors, philanthropists, and mission-driven operators with substantive personal or professional lessons; booking difficulty is low because guests are accomplished professionals rather than major celebrities.
