749: 5 Years of Leadership is Changing - A Journey of Voice, Vision, and Consistency - Ask Denis

Leadership Is Changing

What happens when life takes your voice, literally?

In this special Ask Denis milestone episode, Denis Gianoutsos reflects on the unexpected origin of the Leadership Is Changing podcast. Episode 749 marks five years since its launch, born not from triumph but from silence, following a life-altering surgery that nearly took away his ability to speak.

Denis shares the inspiration behind the show, how he stayed consistent through adversity, and the core leadership principle that drives it all: consistency. If you’re a leader facing uncertainty or trying to find your voice, this episode is a must-listen.
