We sit down with Joe Lambert, a visionary leader, AI pioneer, and investor whose influence spans decades and industries. Since the early 1980s, Joe has been at the forefront of integrating artificial intelligence into business and life, managing over $10 billion in assets across finance, real estate, and media.
In this episode, Joe shares the inspiring story behind Teen Star, the nonprofit talent platform he founded in 2010 to uplift his local community - a project that went on to gain national attention and was eventually acquired by ABC. Along the way, Teen Star attracted celebrity judges like Randy Speedlove (President of Motion Picture Music at Paramount Pictures) and Randy Jackson (original American Idol judge).
But this episode isn’t just about success — it’s about purpose, transformation, and leadership. Joe invites us to explore the power of vulnerability and challenges today’s leaders to ask the hard questions that drive real, lasting impact.
