Hosted by Mandy Peckham, President and CEO of BSR Consulting, Innovating for Impact episodes bring together voices from across the public sector and tech industry to explore what it takes to modernize responsibly, scale effectively, and lead with purpose in complex government ecosystems.
On this episode, Mandy sits down with Jothi “JoJo” Dugar, the Chaos Guru, for a conversation that connects cybersecurity, leadership, wellness, and personal growth in a way only JoJo can.
With more than 25 years of federal experience, JoJo brings a rare perspective as a cybersecurity leader, holistic wellness specialist, life coach, author, speaker, dance director, and mom of three. The conversation explores how her personal healing journey shaped her leadership style, why wellness is critical for high-performing professionals, and how leaders can better “secure the human operating system.”
Mandy and JoJo also discuss burnout, micro-reset techniques, the importance of understanding your “why,” and how small daily shifts can create meaningful change. JoJo shares practical insight for professionals navigating career pivots, building confidence, asking for opportunities, and creating a career that reflects who they truly are.
This is a conversation about thriving through chaos, leading with authenticity, and rethinking what success looks like from the inside out.
