The Global Leadership Podcast

The Global Leadership Network has been curating leadership content for 30 years through their Global Leadership Summit, which reaches over 350,000 leaders annually. This podcast extends that mission into a more accessible format. Hosted by David Ashcraft and Whitney Putnam, episodes feature interviews with the kind of speakers you'd normally need a conference ticket to hear. Past guests include Craig Groeschel, Coach K, Erin Meyer, Marcus Buckingham, and Jon Acuff. With about 100 episodes across nine seasons, the catalog is manageable enough to work through without feeling overwhelmed. Episodes run 25 to 50 minutes and release twice a month, which gives each conversation room to breathe. Recent topics have covered innovation, digital communication strategies for leaders, procrastination and goal achievement, and what it means to be a bridge-building leader in a polarized environment. The show positions itself around a core idea: you already have influence right where you are. That framing shifts the conversation away from aspirational leadership theory and toward practical application in whatever context you're working in. David and Whitney bring warmth to their interviewing style, and the production quality is solid throughout. The 4.5-star rating from 263 reviews reflects a growing audience that appreciates the show's accessibility. It doesn't assume you're a CEO or executive. The content is designed for leaders at every level, from a team lead managing three people to a nonprofit director trying to expand their reach. If you attend or follow the Global Leadership Summit, this podcast keeps that learning going year-round.
