I was honored to collaborate with Jeff on Chat with Leaders. Even in our prep call his authentic and honest style brought out some of my stories that I rarely share around being a terrible leader in my early days of leadership. That discussion sparked a new aspect of “storytelling” I am now using with clients and it began with our prep call and the podcast.
I have been on other podcasts and radio programs over the years and Jeff’s professionalism including social media artifacts and f Read more

I really enjoyed being interviewed by Jeff Bond on Chat With Leaders. He is a consummate professional. Additionally, he was interested in the human impact I have strived to have during my lifetime. Based on my experience, I would recommend anyone interested in sharing their story, expanding their brand, and, perhaps, conveying a few nuggets that others can harness for their betterment, to listen.
Vicki Flier Hudson
Chief Collaboration Officer, Highroad Global Services, Georgia
Over the last several years I have been shifting my work to include more depolarization, helping people to dialogue across opposing views. Being on the podcast gave me a forum to express the ideas I’m most passionate about, and also then to share the podcast on LinkedIn. This helped establish me even further as a trusted resource in the area of conflict management. Chat With Leaders was so professionally run. From the initial contact with Jeff to the recording session to the social media prese Read more

Chat with Leaders was an exceptionally positive experience for the firm I am proud to represent, Jabian Consulting, and for me personally as well. Jeff asked great questions about leadership.

Founder & CEO, Strapt Vending, Georgia
As an early-stage startup with an upcoming product launch, Chat with Leaders gave us a platform not only to build excitement around our launch but also to share my experiences growing as a founder within it. You can tell Jeff is genuinely passionate about each and every company he chooses to interview by how he approaches the interview, conducts it, and stays in touch beyond. My experience with CWL was phenomenal and I’m grateful for the opportunity, platform, and connections I’ve made from Read more
Richard Hicks
CEO, InspirEDU Atlanta, Georgia
Being a new nonprofit that transitioned from a national brand, it was important to establish our own identity and create an environment that sees us as a viable business rather than something that would fizzle out. Chat With Leaders allowed us to create that space and tell the story of Inspiredu so that people can hear the themes of mission, resilience, and courage. CWL is a company with the friendliest of people that made it comfortable for us to engage in a meaningful conversation. Since the p Read more

We thought we were going to have a conversation about all things work related, but we ended up diving deep into our values and how they relate to the work we're doing at our startup in a raw, authentic conversation. Grateful that Jeff was candid about his own life and family values even during our interview- we learned a lot from him even though we were the ones he was interviewing. Jeff is a cool dude.

I was really excited to be an early interviewee of the Chat with Leaders podcast with Jeff Bond. Beyond building ventures, it was great to talk about engagement with employees and the community and how it intertwines with the values that manifest in creating a great company and non-profit impact. It is always great to share a perspective with a greater community and impart lessons learned through the journey. Look forward to supporting the community and hearing more amazing stories.
Matthew Stevens
CEO, Centegix, Georgia
I’ve had a lot of opportunities to participate in Podcasts, but Chat With Leaders was both unique and special. Jeff has a way of drawing out the big topics – things that matter. It’s not a podcast about business, it’s a podcast about life with a business backdrop. Even in the preparation for our session, I was challenged to look at the big picture. Instead of looking at our time together as a task, in retrospect, I view it as an opportunity to get smarter. Chat With Leaders is Read more

Chatting with Jeff on his podcast was such a wonderful experience. Our podcast together was some of Yustha Yoga’s first content and allowed us to share our story with the world in the most organic way possible. I appreciate all the time he took to talk to us one on one before recording to make sure the end product was tailored to us.

Chat with Leaders is a special kind of podcast as it marries my own purpose as a leader with the podcast's mission. As a result of appearing with Jeff, I have learned about the larger B-Corp network and the amazing, purpose-driven people who lead with heart! Jeff is a superb interviewer and beyond that a great conversationalist. This is a rare combination but it stems from his genuine desire to be a servant leader and break bread with others from all walks of life. If you have an opportunit Read more

Our Story
If there was ever a time to lean into the influence of compassionate, socially responsible, and courageous leaders, it was when the pandemic rocked our world in March 2020. As our founding team considered how to forge ahead faithfully, we set out to create a platform to amplify the voices of remarkable leaders who exemplify what it looks like to serve others with excellence in our homes, workplace, and communities.
Throughout the pandemic and other calamities in 2020-21, we steadily grew a positive community alongside these leaders by delivering short podcast episodes and inspiring content. Our LinkedIn community grew organically by the hundreds, we gained consistent audience growth with thousands of downloads, our hosts were invited to speak with numerous groups as a byproduct of our collaborative research, and our podcast was even identified in the top 10% out of 2.2 million globally on Listen Notes.
We formed meaningful partnerships to serve the amazing B Corporation movement and other social impact movements that elevate humanity by episode sixty. It started to become clear that we had cultivated authentic relationships through this platform that scaled opportunities for impact, deeper social connection (even when physically distant), and validated how profitable business pursuits can be wielded as a force for good.
We’re now honored to share this playbook to scale social impact through our service to sustainable business leaders.
Contact us today if you would like to learn more about building an amazing podcast and content marketing plan for your purpose-driven business.
