Tony Martinetti, host of the Virtual Campfire podcast, knows this feeling all too well. With a 25-year legacy in biotech finance, Tony realized the need for deeper connections and personal fulfillment, prompting a courageous shift to leadership coaching. His journey underscores the importance of understanding when success doesn't align with our true selves and highlights the power of stepping out of a comfort zone to pursue a meaningful path.
We explore the critical themes of authenticity in leadership and the exhaustion that comes from wearing a metaphorical mask.
