Elevate Your Leadership

Welcome to the Elevate Your Leadership podcast with me, your host, Bob Pizzini. This podcast will enable you to immediately advance your ability to lead others, as well as yourself. As a 26 year US Navy Special Operations veteran, and as the owner of a multimillion-dollar business I discuss issues that I know you face daily, because I also face them. We tackle leadership challenges head on. Leadership is a perishable skill… use it or lose it. Lifelong leadership requires lifelong learning and a commitment to health, fitness, and intentional wellness. Join me, along with entrepreneurs, industry executives, academics, public figures, and other highly successful professionals who share their formulas for success with you. We will discuss leadership success, failure, defining moments, and hard lessons learned with guests who are intentional in their approach to leadership.
