Today we’re talking with GLN president and CEO David Ashcraft about resilience. Honestly, sometimes I love the word, “resilience.” However, sometimes I kind of hate it: usually when I’m in the middle of a really challenging time that I just wish would end. This conversation will help you think about why resilience is necessary and the importance of celebrating small wins. With the right inputs, we can be resilient leaders.

In this episode, David Ashcraft sits down to do a live webinar with Walker Hayes, the singer and songwriter behind hits like “Fancy Like” and “Stetson”, to talk about the faith and grit that it takes to create over the long-term, and how an attitude of gratefulness changes your perspective on just about everything.

Whether it’s ideating from nothing, feeling pressure to be original or wondering if creativity is something you either have or you don’t, most of us struggle with creativity at some level. However, for today’s guest, to be creative is to be human. Author, speaker and “Creativity Explorer” Fredrik Heron has spent decades helping leaders understand that creativity isn’t about talent or personality: it’s about practice, environment and perspective. GLN President and CEO David Ashcraft sat down with Fredrik to talk about his new book The World of Creativity and together they unpack what it really means to lead creatively—even when the ideas don’t come easily.

When the word, “innovation” gets mentioned, there tends to be two broad reactions: some people love pioneering and creating new things. However, a lot of people immediately think, “I am not creative; innovation is something that comes easily to other people and not me.” If you find yourself in that latter group, today’s interview with GLN President and CEO David Ashcraft will hopefully dispel those thoughts and show how innovation doesn’t mean creating something out of nothing. If you’re ready to discover how to give yourself space for innovation, give this episode a listen.

Have you ever wished you could sit down with someone who has truly mastered their craft? Michael Jordan on winning; Mozart on music; Leonardo da Vinci on creativity. Not just to review their highlight reels but to unpack all the lessons they learned across their lives? Well, that’s what today’s conversation feels like because today we get to listen to John C Maxwell talk about leadership.

Today’s episode is all about purpose and calling. As a leader who is rolling into a new year, you might be thinking about what’s next. This conversation with GLN President and CEO David Ashcraft will encourage you with the unique ways you’ve been called to lead and center you by reminding you what it’s all about.

As 2025 wraps up and 2026 gets started, we thought we’d take a look back on all the great conversations we’ve had over the past year and pick a few of our favorites to share with you. Whitney and Content Producer Eric Case talk through their reactions to episodes with guests Marcus Buckingham, Joni Eareckson Tada, David Ashcraft and Gabe Salguero.

The end of the year is a natural time to look back and take stock on what we’ve done and how far we’ve come. In honor of that, GLN VP of Marketing and Communication Whitney Putnam sat down with President and CEO David Ashcraft to get his thoughts on reflection and celebration.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to see the people around you—your teammates, your friends, your spouse, your children—absolutely thriving?

Today’s guest is Bradley Rapier. Bradley is an award-winning, Emmy-nominated choreographer with over three decades of experience in dance, production and leading teams and talent from Hollywood to Broadway. Whether dance and choreography is your thing or not, what Bradley teaches in this conversation with GLN President and CEO David Ashcraft is what happens when people feel engaged and connected, and how we as leaders can facilitate that engagement.

So, whether you’re leading your teenage children, a creative group, or you’re simply part of a group of friends, when people deeply feel that they are a part of something, everything changes: productivity, creativity and well-being soar. Bradley calls it, “stepping into the Circle,” and everyone is invited.
