About Andy Posner:

Andy Posner is the founder and CEO of Capital Good Fund. He’s a leader redefining what financial stewardship looks like—proving that effective leadership is not just about vision, but about using that vision to lift people out of poverty. Andy’s work blends purpose, courage, and action, making him a model for leaders who want to create real, measurable impact.

In this episode, Kevin and Andy Posner discuss:

• Turning financial services into tools for empowerment rather than exclusion
• Why is relentless curiosity and determination fuel innovation
• The intersection of environmental sustainability, justice, and poverty
• Building new systems when traditional ones fail marginalized communities
• How personal calling, values, and resilience shape long-term leadership

Key Takeaways:

• Innovation begins where others stop trying. Leadership is defined by a refusal to accept that something “can’t be done.” When systems shut people out, leaders must imagine new pathways—whether it’s alternative underwriting models or creative financial structures that uplift vulnerable communities.
• Purpose often emerges through unexpected turns. Sometimes, calling is discovered through curiosity, conviction, and a willingness to respond to the needs you witness in the world.
• Financial tools can liberate or oppress — leadership determines which. By reframing lending as a means of justice rather than profit extraction, leaders can design systems that restore dignity, build stability, and unlock opportunity for people traditionally excluded from financial services.
• Long-term impact is built one relationship at a time. Sustainable change is relational before it is financial.

"Financial services could really be a tool of oppression, and on the other hand, it could be a tool of uplift and opportunity." – Andy Posner

About Jonathan Shively:

Jonathan has over 35 years of experience as a pastor, educator, fundraiser, and church and nonprofit executive. He is currently the Executive Director of Fox Valley Hands of Hope, a nonprofit providing no-cost grief care following a death loss. Additionally, he is a leadership and organizational companion through ArtistryLeads. Jonathan’s personal mission is to increase individuals' and organizations' capacity to fulfill their callings, fostering healthy leaders and communities.

His north star is Jesus and the New Testament. He has been married for 35 years, a proud father of three young adults and one son-in-law, including a son with Williams Syndrome. He is a musician, choir director, and singer-songwriter, and enjoys camping, reading, working with his hands, serving on Boards, and volunteering. Jonathan is an ordained minister in the Church of the Brethren and holds a Doctor of Ministry Degree from Fuller Seminary.

In this episode, Kevin and Jonathan Shively discuss:

• Why servant leadership requires humility, empathy, and relational connection
• How grief impacts workplaces and why leaders must understand the grieving process
• The importance of authenticity and trust in building healthy teams
• Leading organizations through seasons of transition, struggle, and renewal
• How personal calling and lived experience shape a leader’s ability to serve others

Key Takeaways:

• Servant leadership starts with intention, not titles. Great leadership is not just about what you accomplish — but how you walk with people through the journey.
• Grief is universal, and leaders who ignore it harm their teams. Most workplaces are unprepared to support grieving employees, yet grief profoundly affects focus, performance, and emotional health.
• Healthy organizations are built on relationships, not transactions. Whether in churches, nonprofits, or corporations, relational leadership creates safety, understanding, and resilience. When people feel known and valued, they trust their leaders — even during uncertainty or change.
• A fulfilling career comes from alignment, not ambition. The most meaningful work happens when a leader’s gifts, passions, and purpose meet the real needs of an organization. Misalignment leads to frustration on all sides, but when values match mission, both leaders and organizations thrive.

"There's no substitute for just human compassion and kindness." – Jonathan Shively

About Lisa Goldenthal:

Lisa Goldenthal is a Top 15 Executive Coach, bestselling author, and host of WholeCEO with Lisa G. Known for her signature BOSS Method, she helps high-performing CEOs and leaders master energy, emotional intelligence, and execution to lead powerfully in disruptive times. With decades of experience coaching elite executives and teams, Lisa blends mindset, accountability, and strategy to drive rapid, lasting success. Her work has been featured in CEO Weekly and across top leadership platforms worldwide.

In this episode, Kevin and Lisa Goldenthal discuss:

• How emotional intelligence and self-awareness drive leadership excellence
• Why leaders must manage their energy with intention, not accident
• Escaping burnout through discipline, boundaries, and habit-stacking
• The shift from hustle culture to presence, empathy, and communication
• Building confidence, clarity, and courage through self-leadership

Key Takeaways:

• Leadership begins with managing your own energy. Everything a leader touches is influenced by the state they bring into the room: their clarity, presence, discipline, and emotional grounding. When leaders intentionally shape their inner world, they naturally elevate their outer impact.
• Emotional intelligence isn’t optional anymore — it’s the skill that separates leaders people follow from leaders people tolerate.
• Burnout is often a byproduct of mismanaged priorities. High-performers excel at discipline in their careers but often fail to apply that same discipline to their own well-being. When leaders delegate, set boundaries, and build small but powerful habits, they create sustainability instead of exhaustion.
• Communication is more than what you say; it’s how deeply you connect. Leaders build engagement by listening more than they speak, showing genuine interest, looping for understanding, and creating relational safety within their teams. Influence grows when people feel seen.

"Communication is so much more than speaking. It's really listening more than you speak." – Lisa Goldenthal
