In this episode, Ed Boudrot, founder of Human Ignition, invites us into a deeper exploration of modern leadership—where innovation meets humanity. Drawing from his experiences leading elite teams at startups and Fortune 500s, Ed shares insights on the internal “operating systems” that govern leaders, teams, and entire organizations.
You’ll learn:
How Ed’s approach to team culture is grounded in radical candor, shared language, and deep trust
The surprising power of one question: “What do you love?”
Why stalled leadership is the most common—and most solvable—challenge in large organizations
What 40+ leadership interviews are revealing about the future (and limits) of AI
How psychological safety and clarity can unlock what Ed calls “magic moments” in teams
This is a conversation about transforming leadership from the inside out—making the unseen seen, and reigniting purpose in an age of noise, automation, and overwhelm.
