What if your most incredible pain could become your most significant purpose? In this episode of Leadership with Heart, I sit down with Eric Newman, Founder and CEO of Roc Solid Foundation, to talk about the defining moments that shaped his leadership journey. As a pediatric cancer survivor, Eric could have let his past define him. Instead, he turned his pain into a mission—building playsets for children fighting cancer, ensuring they have a space to simply be kids in the midst of unimaginable hardship.
Beyond his inspiring work, Eric shares profound insights on leadership: the battle between success and significance, the importance of leading yourself before leading others, and how to ask who I am. What do I believe? Where am I going? It can transform the way we navigate challenges.
We dive deep into resilience, self-leadership, and the power of presence—how slowing down and embracing the uncomfortable can lead to extraordinary impact. Eric also opens up about his setbacks, including a curbside moment that forced him to reevaluate everything he thought he knew about leadership.
If you've ever felt stuck in the messy middle, wondering if your work truly matters, this episode is for you. How do we balance business success with meaningful impact? And what does it take to turn personal adversity into a force for good?
Join us for a conversation that might change your thoughts about leadership, purpose, and the legacy you're building.
