Send us a text

In this bold and unfiltered panel, four trailblazing leaders come together to explore what it truly means to “ruffle feathers” with purpose. This conversation dives deep into the kind of leadership that disrupts outdated norms, challenges systems from within, and dares to advocate for meaningful change—especially when it's uncomfortable.

Join Sarena Diamond, Royston Telford, Coach TJ Cunningham, and Amanda Price as they share raw insights from the front lines of organizational strategy, youth development, veteran entrepreneurship, and political advocacy. Each panelist brings a powerful story of when they chose courage over silence and purpose over popularity.

Hosted by Melissa Franklin, Founder of Structure Innovations, this episode sheds light on what it takes to lead when your voice shakes, to advocate when the room isn’t ready, and to build systems that serve people—not egos.

Whether you're a business leader, educator, community organizer, or simply tired of the status quo—this episode will leave you inspired to lead louder, bolder, and with impact.

💥 Key Themes:

• Disruptive leadership with integrity
• Navigating pushback and resistance
• Building systems that work for people
• Leading from experience, not just titles

🎧 Listen in and find the courage to lead your own revolution—one feather at a time.
