166: Resilience Is Motion, Not Stillness, with Kenyada Meadows

Описание: Send a text (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/tex...)


Balance isn’t the finish line. It's the pendulum that’s almost never centered, the butterfly that needs resistance to fly, and the swimmer who learns to win with water in his goggles.


We sat down with coach, author, and financial services executive Kenyada Meadows to rethink resilience through values, emotional integrity, and the power of community. From a career on Wall Street to the Harvard Advanced Management Program, Kenyada traces a shift from “go it alone” leadership to a world where being world-class means belonging to a circle that challenges you, backs you, and understands the real costs of change.

We dig into truths about identity at work—why your title can’t hold your worth—and how a strong sense of justice and family roots can steady you when corporate culture pushes conformity. We talk about trading camouflage for vulnerability, asking direct questions about how you’re showing up, and choosing which battles are worth your time when you zoom out five or fifty years. 


Kenyada also shares what’s next for him: coaching at Executive Parent Company, (https://www.executiveparentcompany.com/) his book The New Alpha (https://www.executiveparentcompany.co...) , the Executive Dad podcast, (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...) and a forthcoming exploration of followership that flips the usual leadership script.
