Through real client success stories, Sara illustrates how clarity in roles, strategy, and communication can transform both performance and culture. 

At the heart of the conversation is one powerful idea: truth in coaching. The willingness to ask better questions, give real feedback, and challenge assumptions is what separates stagnant businesses from those that grow.

      <title>Reclaiming Control of Employee Benefits</title>
      <description>In this episode of Disrupt &amp; Innovate, Lisa L. Levy sits down with Donovan Pyle, CEO of Health Compass Consulting, to expose the hidden inefficiencies in employee benefits—and how executives can take back control.

Donovan shares a staggering reality: employers spent $1.3 trillion on healthcare benefits last year—and roughly $325 billion of that was waste. He breaks down why traditional benefits brokers often fail to prioritize cost savings, and how a fiduciary-based, transparent approach can dramatically improve both financial outcomes and employee health.

You’ll learn the key steps leaders can take to evaluate their current plans, uncover massive savings opportunities, and implement smarter, tailored healthcare solutions that actually serve their workforce.

      <title>DI 170 The Power of Task Quotients in Building High-Performing Teams</title>
      <description>What if the fastest path to better culture, higher employee engagement, and lower turnover isn’t another initiative—but better leadership and coaching? In this episode, Lisa L. Levy sits down with Dr. Kevin Gazzara, CEO of Magna Leadership Solutions, to unpack what actually drives organizational change from the inside out. 

With 30 years of industry experience—including 18 years at Intel—Dr. Gazzara shares what he’s learned about leadership development, why senior management buy-in is non-negotiable for cultural transformation, and how middle managers can “coach up” to influence change even when they don’t control the strategy. 

We also dive into the power of embracing failure as a learning tool, creating safe environments that support innovation, and a compelling case study showing how aligning people to roles that match their strengths can dramatically reduce turnover. Plus: hiring for talent and fit, not just skills, and why “a little turnover” can sometimes be healthy.

      <title>DI 168 The Future of Digital Collaboration</title>
      <description>Are we working remotely… or just stuck in nonstop video calls? In this episode, Lisa L. Levy sits down with Erik Braund, founder and CEO of Katmai, to explore the next evolution of digital collaboration—and why the future of remote work must be more human, more spontaneous, and far less meeting-heavy. 

Erik explains how traditional video conferencing tools haven’t meaningfully evolved in years, and how that’s fueled calendar chaos, meeting fatigue, and fragmented workplace culture. He introduces Katmai’s virtual office: a 3D environment designed to create true co-presence, encourage authentic interactions, and bring back the spontaneity we miss from in-person offices—without sacrificing focus or healthy work boundaries. 

You’ll learn how virtual offices can reduce meeting time, improve collaboration, and help teams build real culture—especially in distributed and hybrid workplaces. 

Keywords:
-virtual office
-digital collaboration
-Katmai
-remote work
-spontaneity
-meeting culture
-co-presence
-work boundaries
-innovative technology
-workplace culture 

If you’re rethinking meeting culture, remote work performance, and how to build real connections in a digital world, this conversation with Erik is a must-watch.

      <itunes:summary>Are we working remotely… or just stuck in nonstop video calls? In this episode, Lisa L. Levy sits down with Erik Braund, founder and CEO of Katmai, to explore the next evolution of digital collaboration—and why the future of remote work must be more human, more spontaneous, and far less meeting-heavy. 

Erik explains how traditional video conferencing tools haven’t meaningfully evolved in years, and how that’s fueled calendar chaos, meeting fatigue, and fragmented workplace culture. He introduces Katmai’s virtual office: a 3D environment designed to create true co-presence, encourage authentic interactions, and bring back the spontaneity we miss from in-person offices—without sacrificing focus or healthy work boundaries. 

You’ll learn how virtual offices can reduce meeting time, improve collaboration, and help teams build real culture—especially in distributed and hybrid workplaces.

      <title>DI 167 The Hidden Costs of Reproductive Health</title>
      <description>Infertility and reproductive health are already emotionally overwhelming—so why has fertility care become so financially complex and inequitable? In this episode of Disrupt &amp; Innovate, Lisa L. Levy welcomes Mary Fusillo, CEO and founder of Family Solutions International, to unpack the hidden costs of infertility care, the realities families face inside fertility clinics, and what it will take to bring more equity to reproductive health.

With more than 25 years of experience, Mary shares her journey from healthcare professional to entrepreneur and advocate, and explains how families are forced to make high-stakes decisions under intense emotional pressure—often while navigating confusing options, rising medication costs, and unequal access to quality care. She also breaks down the growing influence of private equity in fertility clinics and questions whether expensive “innovations” have meaningfully improved success rates.

This is a powerful conversation about healthcare inequity, the need for better emotional support and mentorship, and why human connection matters just as much as technology in the fertility journey.

-Infertility 

-reproductive health 

-egg donation 

-private equity 

-healthcare inequity 

-Family Solutions International 

-emotional support 

-fertility treatments 

-Mentorship

If you or someone you love is navigating infertility—or if you care about the future of healthcare innovation and equitable access—this episode with Mary will inform, validate, and challenge the status quo.

      <title>DI 162 The Human Element in Leadership</title>
      <description>In this episode, Lisa L. Levy sits down with Ted Whetstone, strategic thought partner and executive coach, to unpack the human element in leadership and change management. 

Ted explores why the true value in any organization lies in its people, not just its processes, and why most change efforts fail when leaders impose instead of invite. He explains the critical difference between commitment to outcomes and attachment to specific ideas, and how that shift opens the door to participation, innovation, and shared ownership. Along the way, Ted dives into vulnerability, communication, and the entrepreneurial journey, and introduces the powerful concept of being the “product of your product”—the transformation of humanity within the workplace.

      <title>DI 160 Empowering Sales: The Future of CRM</title>
      <description>In this episode, Lisa L. Levy sits down with John Golden to explore why a sales‑first approach to CRM is the key to real business growth, better data, and happier, more effective sales teams. 

John breaks down why sales is the engine of revenue, why it must be treated as a serious career rather than a fallback option, and how most organizations are still measuring the wrong things. Instead of outdated activity metrics, he advocates for relevant, quality-focused sales metrics, dynamic sales processes, and technology that actually supports how customers buy—not just how managers want to report. 

You’ll also hear how AI and modern CRM tools can enhance sales insights, improve decision-making, and empower salespeople when they’re implemented with the right strategy and training.

If you’re a founder, sales leader, or RevOps pro who’s tired of CRMs that nobody uses and sales processes that don’t match reality, this conversation with John Golden is your roadmap to a smarter, sales‑first approach.

      <title>DI 159 The Shift to Homo Spiritus: A New Paradigm</title>
      <description>In this episode, Lisa L. Levy talks with Dr. David Gruder—organizational psychologist, board‑level advisor, 12‑award‑winning author, and what he calls a “recovering psychologist” and professional troublemaker. 

David equips innovative leaders with the mindsets, skillsets, and habitsets to make integrity profitable, collaboration fruitful, and impact scalable. As a master architect of culture and the C‑suite, he helps owners and executives become who their ventures need them to be—maximizing positive impact and profits without sacrificing wellbeing or values. In this conversation, we explore his vision for the future of humanity, the Spark Framework, and how a dual‑pronged purpose can guide us toward what he calls the North Star of Integrity. 

They dig into the three futures currently vying for dominance—Homo Spiritus, Homo Deus, and regressionism—and why quiet, grassroots movements may be far more powerful than they appear. 

✨ Keywords:

      <description>In this episode, Lisa Levy interviews Kelvin Holliday, a renowned transformational leadership expert. Kelvin’s journey, from carpenter to successful business owner, has been shaped by life's lessons. He highlights the importance of finding the right technology without overwhelming your business. 

Key Takeaways:


From carpenter to successful business owner, Kelvin's life lessons have guided his path to transformational leadership.

Building your tech stack is vital. Avoid accumulating multiple niche apps and opt for integrated, native applications that streamline your processes.

While technology is essential, don't let it replace genuine human interaction. Balance AI and automation with the human touch for authenticity and credibility.

Prioritize process efficiency. Well-defined processes make technology implementation smoother and more effective as your business scales.

This formula for success—people, processes, and technology—forms the foundation for growth and scale in business. Combine the right tech with well-defined processes and your team's capabilities for optimal results.


In this tech-driven world, staying ahead means embracing change and leveraging technology wisely. As Kelvin Holliday shared, the key is in building a robust tech stack that aligns with your goals, while never losing sight of the essential human element.

      <title>DI 29: Embracing the Nomadic Spirit: Unleashing the Power of Digital Freedom</title>
      <description>In this episode, Lisa Levy takes us on a comprehensive journey into the world of digital nomadism. Prepare to be inspired as we explore the rapidly growing phenomenon that is transforming the way we work, travel, and live. We'll explore both the advantages and unintended consequences of digital nomadism. From freedom and flexibility to the challenges of social isolation and environmental concerns, we'll navigate through the complexities of this multifaceted phenomenon. Discover how this lifestyle can enhance your personal and professional growth, connect you with a global community, and provide financial freedom.
Key takeaways:

Digital nomadism is challenging traditional norms in work, lifestyle, and community, with far-reaching implications for various industries and aspects of society.

The disruptions caused by digital nomadism include changes to work culture, real estate markets, local economies, tax systems, and legal frameworks.

While driving innovation, digital nomadism also presents unintended consequences such as social isolation, income inequality, over-tourism, environmental impact, and legal complications.

      <title>DI 12: KPIs VS Employee Well-Being: Creating a Winning Business Strategy</title>
      <description>In this podcast episode, Lisa Levy tackles the idea that taking care of our employees is not just a soft and fluffy topic, but a crucial aspect of running a successful business. Yes, we still have to meet our KPIs and run our businesses effectively, but we also need to create a workplace culture that values and welcomes our employees. 

Key takeaways:


     Taking care of our employees is a crucial aspect of running a successful business

     Involve employees in the process of setting goals and objectives to create a collective choice and buy-in

    Creating a culture of collaboration and mutual respect leads to a more productive and profitable business

   KPIs and business performance are important, but taking care of employees is equally important.

    Comp plans and KPIs should be built with input from employees, not just top leaders.

       By defining and agreeing on performance goals, there is less need for punishment and more motivation for employees.

      <title>DI 11: Quiet Quitting: The Cost of Ignoring Employee Needs</title>
      <description>In this podcast episode, Lisa addresses the alarming trend of "quiet quitting" in the workforce and why business leaders should be terrified by this phenomenon. With 50% of the workforce potentially not actively doing their jobs, it's clear that we need to create a culture that supports and values every employee.  

Key takeaways:


 50% of the workforce is potentially not actively doing their jobs due to a toxic workplace culture

Creating a supportive and effective workplace culture requires addressing issues such as fair pay, time off policies, and flexible schedules

We need to pay fairly, have appropriate time off policies, and take care of flexible schedules and maternity/paternity leave.

Female executives are leaving the corporate environment at an alarming rate due to a lack of flexibility.

Solving these issues will make a dramatic change in how our employees feel supported, cared for, and valued.


So don't miss out, tune in now and join the conversation about how we can create a better future for our workforce.

      <title>DI 2:  Maximizing Profitability through Technology</title>
      <description>In this episode, Lisa Levy provides valuable insights into how businesses can leverage technology to achieve profitability. By having the right people doing the right work and using technology to enable them, businesses can do more with less and achieve greater success. It's important to understand the challenges that come with implementing technology and how to get the most out of it to achieve profitability.
 
Key Takeaways:

Profitability is not just about how much we make, but also about how much we keep, which allows us to do cool things with our families and for our employees.

Technology has the potential to enable us to do more with less, making it an attractive option for improving efficiency and effectiveness.

However, to truly leverage technology, we need to have the right people doing the right work, or else we risk creating something that Lisa calls "super fast, bad."

Technology implementation comes with costs such as procurement, employee training, and consultant fees, so it's crucial to get the most out of it possible.

By having the right people doing repeatable processes and technology giving us a lift, we can achieve profitability by doing more work with fewer people.

 
Lisa Levy emphasizes the importance of having the right people doing the right work and understanding the costs associated with technology implementation.
