Leading with Heart at Global Scale with Brian Garish

What if the secret to scaling leadership across 70,000 people wasn’t strategy, but staying human?

Rosie catches up with Brian Garish, an unapologetically people-first leader who brings equal parts strategy, humility, and heart. From mopping floors at Walgreens at 16 to guiding global teams across 20+ countries, Brian shares real talk about staying grounded, leading with courage, and putting purpose over ego.

They dive into the art of listening at scale, why leadership is about how you make people feel, and how culture isn’t what’s on the wall, it’s what happens in the halls.

Laughter, reflection, and practical gems unfold, highlighting what it means to lead more humanely, whether at the helm of a global organization or creating impact in everyday spaces.

What if your biggest breakthroughs came after you wanted to quit?

Rosie gets real about grit, resilience, and the surprising lessons learned from watching her son earn his black belt in Taekwondo.

Rosie takes us behind the scenes of this journey to unpack why passion isn’t enough, what it means to show up when it’s hard, and how committing to the bigger picture (even when it’s uncomfortable) can transform who we become.

Whether you’re facing a challenge, tempted to throw in the towel, or just need a spark of motivation, this Rosie in My Pocket will inspire you to dig deep, stay the course, and embrace that black belt attitude.

From Commander to Facilitator: Leading by Design with Alain Hunkins

What if the real secret to great leadership isn’t about being in charge, but about being in tune with people?

Rosie sits down with Alain Hunkins, author of “Cracking the Leadership Code” and a man who’s worked with over 3,000 leadership groups across 29 countries. Together, they explore what it really means to lead in today’s world (hint: it’s way less about commanding and way more about connecting).

From redefining leadership as a learnable skill to unpacking the three Cs (Connection, Communication, and Collaboration), this episode dives deep into the systems, habits, and mindsets that create truly human workplaces. Alain challenges us to look in the mirror, get curious instead of defensive, and build workplaces where people actually want to show up.

Rosie in My Pocket: Red Lights

What if hitting every red light was exactly what you needed?

Rosie turns a frustrating drive full of red lights into a powerful reflection on life, leadership, and the magic of slowing down. Instead of blowing through the signs that tell us to pause, what if we embraced them as invitations to stop, breathe, and tune in?

Rosie challenges our go-go-go mindset, exploring how seemingly annoying interruptions —both on the road and in life —might actually be divine nudges to reflect, reset, and lead with greater presence.

So next time you hit a red light, don’t just sit there... take the moment, soak it in, and move forward with clarity.
