Jenny Leigh Hodgins Creative Empowerment Coach, Author, Music Educator, Vocalist/Pianist, Composer, Poet

My approach blends burnout recovery strategies, creative empowerment practices, and insights from my longtime Buddhist practice, all centered on my mission of Empowering Creative Flow and Inspired Living.As a solo caregiver navigating complex family dynamics and estrangement, and as a former HOA board president and community leader who transformed neglected systems, I bring firsthand experience in resilience, leadership, and personal growth.

Robbie Samuels. Book launch strategist and award-winning 4x author with 900+ Amazon reviews, 37 #1 Best Seller categories, and a proven launch system that turns entrepreneurs' books into business-building assets.
I'm an award-winning author of four books that have received more than 900 written Amazon reviews and reached #1 Best Seller in 37 categories across four countries. The latter did nothing to help me grow my business, yet everyone seems focused on these vanity metrics of hitting #1 Best Seller.Instead, as a book launch strategist, I coach entrepreneurs to build launch teams that lead to 50+ Amazon reviews (social proof) and turn their book into a business asset that attracts new revenue and media opportunities.

Our guest today is Ed Howard — founder of One Breath Leadership, a new human-centred leadership framework combining neuroscience, psychology, AI and three decades of Zen training.

Today he teaches practical tools for clarity, resilience, and peak decision-making in the age of AI. He’s also the author of the upcoming book One Breath Leadership, and he helps leaders apply ancient wisdom and modern science to perform at their best.”
