What Fuels You

Shauna Swerland

Booking Overview

An executive-leadership interview show focused on the personal stories, resilience, career decisions, and entrepreneurial journeys of influential leaders, with recurring external guests who are founders, CEOs, and senior technology executives. Agencies could credibly pitch established startup founders, technology leaders, and experts on entrepreneurship, leadership, career growth, or resilience; booking difficulty is medium because guests generally have substantial operating experience and company-building credentials but are not necessarily celebrity-level figures.
