New podcast with pastor Chad Veach talking about his new leadership book "Help! I work with people." His book just came out today and already it's #1 in New Release in Christian Church Leadership.

While we remain on high alert through the Summer and Coronavirus fatigue firmly sets in, I bring on one of the most frequent and sought out voices in times of crisis - globally-renowned faith figure, bestselling author and pastor of LA’s fastest growing young adult church (first held services in LA at nightclub 1 Oak!), Chad Veach. Chad and I talk about his book. With a forward by the world’s defect business authority, John Maxwell, and rave endorsements from moguls Ed Bastian / Delta Airlines CEO, Kourtney Kardashian, DeVon Franklin and more, this new book on leadership outlines unique practices seldom touted by the world’s most successful.

We discuss what modern leadership looks like, how the essence of great leadership is influence not authority, the importance of remembering people’s names, and how scheduling time to be unproductive actually makes you more productive.

With a disarming prominence across Hollywood (Justin & Hailey Bieber, Chris & Katherine Pratt, the Kardashians, Rickie Fowler, Tim Tebow, etc.), Chad’s family first became the focal point of a tattoo craze when stars like Bieber, Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson, got “G” tattoos for Chad’s oldest daughter, Georgia, who suffers from a rare life-threatening brain disease. The most poignant detail here is that Chad maintains an unshakeable faith and hope for a future full of promise, which we could really use a dose of right now.

Chad also has a podcast, Leadership Lean In.

And she decides to make one more "surprise" call to her brother, fitness trainer Michael Fambrini, to talk about their loving granny.
