A Meal for the Heart: Mikael Burke

Oh, what a joy! We sit down with the award winning theatre director, educator, and artist Mikael Burke. He takes us back to his beginnings as a vocalist at Butler University, the production that changed his major and then his life, and how he wound up full circle directing for the Ivy League school that turned down his application. We discover the intersection of arts and business leadership, and the benefit of the “precipice moments” we discover in our work.

Trusting the Vision with Alicia La Hoz & Omaira Gonzalez

Julie and Merrell sit down with leadership partners and leaders Alicia and Omaira. To say we got along with these ladies is an understatement; we LOVED chatting with them about strategy and vision, starting a non-profit, how to build successful teams and partnerships, and the power of storytelling. We get into how to “grieve well” at work, and how to let go of systems or processes that don’t serve us, even if it’s the myth of productivity!
