Introducing From the Top, A New Podcast for Leaders Who Make the Hard Calls. 

The decisions you make as a leader don’t just influence your organization — they define its future.

Whether you're leading a Fortune 500 company, a family-owned business, or a nonprofit, the quality of your decisions is what separates transformation from stagnation.

That’s why we’re proud to introduce From the Top with Chad Hesters, a new podcast created for CEOs, founders, and decision-makers who want real, actionable insights — not corporate jargon. Hosted by our CEO, Chad Hesters, this series dives deep into the art and science of leadership.

With a background in executive search, leadership advisory, and U.S. Naval Intelligence, Chad brings a unique perspective shaped by decades of experience helping organizations find and develop transformative leaders.

In a world defined by complexity and rapid change, leaders must rethink how they operate and make decisions. In the inaugural episode, Chad sits down with Gordon Dee Smith, CEO of Strategic Insight Group (SIG) and a global intelligence expert, to explore how leaders can navigate today’s volatile landscape and uncover the deeper patterns driving global uncertainty.
