In this powerful episode of the The Leadership Launchpad Podcast - The Legacy Edition high-performance leadership coach Susan Hobson reunites with west coast visionary Kav Salh for Part 2 of their visionary conversation about the future of leadership.
Together, they explore why so many high-performing leaders began their journeys in competitive athletics—and why millions of young athletes are struggling silently with pressure, identity, and burnout.
