70% of Professionals Feel Like Frauds—Why We’re Ignoring a Leadership Crisis

Imagine sitting at dinner beside a Fortune 500 CEO—and being consumed by the fear that you don’t belong there. That was Mike Sealy’s reality during Hewlett-Packard’s accelerated leadership program, and it sparked a decades-long mission to understand imposter syndrome. Now the author of Mindset Unlocked reveals why this silent epidemic costs organizations untold innovation and burnout.

Invite Sealy on your show to discuss how imposter syndrome quietly sabotages talented professionals, keeping brilliant ideas unspoken and promotions out of reach. He shares his multi-industry leadership journey—where he deliberately took roles in new industries to stay on steep learning curves—and offers practical tools from his 10-step framework for developing a growth mindset.

SAMPLE QUESTIONS: 

  • How do you spot imposter syndrome in high-performers who hide it well?
  • What’s one exercise leaders can use tomorrow to shift from a fixed to growth mindset?

Hidden Red Flags You’re Dating a Narcissist

While anyone can spot the loud, attention-seeking narcissist, it’s the charming “nice guy” covert narcissists who cause the most damage—and Dr. Valerie Sussman should know. After 20 years trapped in a narcissistic marriage, this retired pediatrician traded her stethoscope for a paintbrush at 50 and became a certified Narcissistic Abuse Specialist dedicated to helping others recognize these wolves in sheep’s clothing.

In interviews, Sussman will reveal the “6 E’s” that determine if your partner is a narcissist and explain why victims stay “hooked on hopium”—the dangerous hope that keeps them trapped. Drawing from her book Love, Lies, and Narcissists in Disguise: The A-Z Guide for Survivors of Narcissistic Abuse, she’ll share how to spot the charm-to-harm cycle before it’s too late. Listeners will learn the red flags they’re missing, why asking “Am I the narcissist?” means you’re not, and how creativity can heal emotional wounds.

SAMPLE QUESTIONS: 

  • What’s the difference between overt and covert narcissists—and why are covert ones more dangerous? 
  • You call it “hopium”—why is hope so toxic in these relationships? 
  • What are the “6 E’s” and how do they reveal a narcissist?

Do a Show On the Protein Myth That Keeps Americans Sick

A heart attack at age 70 forced Dorothy Greet to rethink everything she believed about nutrition—especially protein. After she and her 80-year-old husband ditched all animal products, their results were dramatic: normalized blood pressure and cholesterol, effortless weight loss, and energy levels they hadn’t felt in decades. Now at 85, Greet is credentialed in plant-based nutrition from Cornell and ready to debunk the protein myth keeping millions sick.

In interviews, Greet will reveal how Americans have been misled about protein requirements and why plant foods provide all the protein needed for optimal health. Drawing from her book Go Veg with Class, she’ll share how two lifelong carnivores reversed heart disease through dietary change alone—and why it’s never too late. Listeners will learn simple swaps to “ditch dairy” and “remove meat” while discovering how this shift could eliminate up to 80% of chronic diseases.

SAMPLE QUESTIONS: 

  • Where do you actually get your protein on a plant-based diet? 
  • You reversed heart disease at 70—what happened to your health markers? 
  • Why don’t doctors tell patients about the power of dietary change?

Interview the “Hire-a-Daughter” Who Clears Out Hoarders, Handles Dead Bodies, and Saves Families from Elder Care Nightmares

Most adult children wait until it’s too late—when Mom falls in the bathroom or Dad has a heart attack—to learn what they should’ve asked, who to call, or where to turn. Debbie C. Miller has spent 30 years as a professional “hire-a-daughter,” helping hundreds of families navigate the overwhelming process of caring for aging loved ones. Her Kirkus-starred, award-winning book, Doing the Right Thing, provides the insider knowledge families desperately need but don’t know exists.

Miller has seen it all: the millionaire miser dead in his driveway for months, properties requiring HazMat suits, extreme hoarding cases, and grief-stricken families being ripped off by unscrupulous estate sale companies. She knows the 40+ questions to ask assisted living facilities, the myths about aging-in-place that endanger seniors, and how to help families make impossible decisions before it’s too late. Family therapists and aging life care managers use her systematic approach nationwide.

SAMPLE QUESTIONS:

  • What’s the biggest mistake adult children make when their parent has a health crisis?
  • What questions should families ask assisted living facilities that nobody thinks to ask?
  • Why do you say aging-in-place is often a dangerous myth?

Stuck in a Funk? Small Mindset Shifts That Lead to Fewer Days That Suck

Most people assume feeling stuck means something is wrong with their life. Deborah Mallow likes to remind us that sometimes nothing is wrong, except the voice in our head that refuses to stop narrating everything like a dramatic movie trailer. Surveys support this: nearly 60% of adults say they feel emotionally burned out, even when nothing “major” is wrong. That’s proof that mindset, not circumstance, often drives our mood.

Deborah explains why advice like “just think positive” often backfires and how tiny mental shifts can change the trajectory of an entire day. She shares surprising tools that help audiences quiet their inner critic, break out of emotional autopilot, and find momentum without forcing motivation.

SAMPLE QUESTIONS: Can focusing less on goals and more on what truly matters actually make you happier? Why do so many people feel behind even when so much in their lives is actually working?

SAMPLE QUESTIONS:
