I’m excited to welcome Mildred Talabi—LinkedIn Top Voice, author, speaker, entrepreneur, former journalist, and founder of the Start Being Visible movement.

For years, Mildred has helped professionals—especially women—transform their expertise into influence, opportunities, and career growth by building authentic personal brands on LinkedIn. With more than 50,000 followers, four published books, and a global community of leaders, she has become one of the most trusted voices on professional visibility and personal branding.

Her message is simple, yet transformative:

“The difference between being knowledgeable and being an expert is visibility.” — Thomas J. Stanley

If you’ve ever wondered why talented professionals are overlooked while others consistently earn promotions, speaking invitations, leadership opportunities, and new clients, this conversation is for you.

🎯 What You Will Learn…

✅ Why you don’t have to quit your day job to become an entrepreneur—and how to build a profitable business alongside your career.

✅ How to identify the expertise, skills, and experiences people will gladly pay you for.

✅ The biggest myths that prevent talented professionals—especially women—from creating additional income and financial freedom.

✅ Why failure isn’t the opposite of success—it’s the pathway to wisdom, resilience, and entrepreneurial growth.

✅ How to stop trading time for money and instead charge for the value you create.

✅ Practical steps to validate a business idea, find your first paying client, and launch before everything feels “perfect.”

✅ Why “done is better than perfect” and how overcoming perfectionism accelerates success.

✅ How faith, purpose, and confidence can help you overcome fear, imposter syndrome, and self-doubt.

✅ Why knowing your value is essential for negotiating salaries, pricing your services, and advocating for yourself with confidence.

✅ How AI can become a powerful business tool without replacing your authentic voice or unique expertise.

✅ Why meaningful conversations—not expensive websites or logos—are often the fastest path to building a successful business.

✅ How to create greater financial freedom, more choices, and a lasting legacy by transforming your existing expertise into extra income.

✨ Bonus: Discover the key lessons from Mildred Talabi’s bestselling book, Start Being Visible, and learn why visibility remains a powerful accelerator for attracting opportunities, building credibility, and growing both your career and your business.

As America celebrates her 250th birthday, we pause to reflect on one of the most influential leadership speeches ever delivered.

President Abraham Lincoln’s 272-word Gettysburg Address was far more than a dedication speech—it was a masterclass in leadership, strategic communication, moral courage, and visionary leadership during one of the darkest moments in our nation’s history.

Join me as we explore the timeless leadership principles that continue to shape military commanders, business executives, public servants, and emerging leaders more than 160 years later.

This special episode is based on my latest LinkedIn article:

🇺🇸 America 250: Leadership Lessons From the Gettysburg Address https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/america-250-leadership-lessons-from-gettysburg-zinga--9ua3c/

📅 Wednesday, July 15, 2026 ⏰ 9:00 AM PT (San Francisco) | 12:00 PM ET (Washington, D.C.) 📍 LIVE on LinkedIn → RSVP & Join the Discussion

🎯 What You’ll Learn

✅ Why Lincoln chose the Declaration of Independence instead of the Constitution as the foundation of his speech—and why every leader should understand the difference.

✅ The six timeless leadership principles hidden within just 272 words that continue to inspire leaders around the world.

✅ Why great leaders reconnect people to purpose before they focus on execution.

✅ How to communicate with extraordinary clarity by mastering the power of brevity.

✅ The importance of transforming setbacks, sacrifice, and adversity into renewed commitment and “unfinished work.”

✅ Why humility—not ego—is the hallmark of exceptional leadership.

✅ How Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and the Reconstruction Amendments reshaped America’s understanding of freedom, citizenship, and equality.

✅ Why the commissioning of the Golden Thirteen on March 19, 1944, forever changed the history of the United States Navy—and ultimately made my own journey to serving as a Commander possible.

✅ Practical leadership lessons for aspiring Naval officers, cybersecurity leaders, and professionals preparing to lead teams through uncertainty and change.

Whether you’re preparing for command, transitioning from an individual contributor into leadership, or simply striving to become a better servant leader, this conversation is for you.

As Lincoln reminded us, every generation inherits “the unfinished work.”

The question is:

What unfinished work has been entrusted to you?

I look forward to seeing you LIVE!

Building Systems That Heal: Leadership, Innovation, and Making Smiles Happen

Mark your calendars!

I’m excited to welcome Kathryn Chitwood—systems architect, entrepreneur, and Founder of the Making Smiles Happen Foundation—for what promises to be a fascinating conversation about leadership, innovation, and the courage to challenge the status quo.

📅 Wednesday, July 8, 2026 ⏰ 11:00 AM PT (San Francisco, CA / Usk, WA) | 2:00 PM ET (Washington, D.C.) 📍 LIVE on LinkedIn → RSVP & Join the Discussion

Kathryn’s leadership journey is anything but conventional. She began her career as a beauty professional and educator before reinventing herself as a nonprofit founder and systems thinker. Inspired by her family’s personal healthcare experience, she founded the Making Smiles Happen Foundation, an organization exploring innovative ways to connect hospitality, technology, and philanthropy to expand access to life-changing oral healthcare.

Her work invites an important leadership question:

What if our greatest opportunities aren’t found by working harder within broken systems—but by reimagining the systems themselves?

Whether you’re leading sailors, cybersecurity teams, startups, nonprofits, or global enterprises, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about innovation, purpose, and service.

💡 What You Will Learn…

✅ How personal adversity can become the foundation for purpose-driven leadership

✅ Why great leaders solve systems—not just symptoms

✅ The power of systems thinking in solving complex organizational challenges

✅ Lessons learned from building a nonprofit from the ground up

✅ How technology, transparency, and trust can strengthen mission-driven organizations

✅ Leadership principles for turning bold ideas into meaningful action

✅ Why innovation often begins with asking better questions

✅ Practical advice for aspiring entrepreneurs, military leaders, and technology professionals seeking to create lasting impact

As a cybersecurity executive and Information Warfare Commander in the U.S. Navy, I’ve learned that leadership isn’t simply about managing today’s operations—it’s about designing better systems for tomorrow. I’m looking forward to exploring Kathryn’s unique perspective on leadership, service, innovation, and building organizations that strive to improve people’s lives.

As the United States celebrates its 250th birthday, how do we honor our nation’s extraordinary achievements while honestly confronting the times we have fallen short of our highest ideals?

This special Independence Day episode is based on my latest article:

🔗 “🇺🇸 America 250 | America’s Aspirational Creed Renewed: Leadership Lessons from the Declaration of Independence” https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/america-250-americas-aspirational-creed-renewed-from-bob-fabien-bz–p222c/

We’ll explore why true patriotism requires both celebration and truth-telling, and why America’s founding ideals still matter today.

💡 What You Will Learn: ✅ Why the Declaration of Independence remains America’s aspirational creed. ✅ Why July 4 and Juneteenth are complementary chapters of one national story. ✅ Six timeless leadership lessons from America’s founding and ongoing pursuit of a more perfect Union. ✅ Why great leaders tell the truth early and confront uncomfortable realities. ✅ How to separate enduring principles from imperfect messengers. ✅ Why institutions matter more than inspiring rhetoric alone. ✅ The importance of honoring service before consensus catches up. ✅ How leaders can widen the circle of belonging and practice disciplined hope. ✅ What America’s next 250 years demand from each of us as citizens, leaders, and servants.

As an immigrant, naturalized American citizen, cybersecurity executive, and U.S. Navy commander, this episode is deeply personal to me. I believe America’s greatness lies not in perfection, but in our capacity for self-correction, renewal, and recommitment to our highest ideals.

“Patriotism is not diminished by honesty; it is strengthened by it.”

Mark your calendars!

Today, he continues to shape the conversation on military leadership, constitutional service, ethics, and the rule of law through his writing, board service, and public advocacy.

This conversation is not about partisan politics—it is about leadership.

Together, we’ll explore what it means to provide honest counsel when the stakes are highest, how leaders navigate complex ethical decisions, and why character remains the foundation of trust in every profession.

📅 Date: Monday, June 29, 2026 ⏰ Time: 8:00 AM PT (San Francisco, CA) | 9:00 AM MT (Brighton, CO) | 11:00 AM ET (Washington, D.C.) 📍 LIVE on LinkedIn → [RSVP & Join the Discussion]

Over a remarkable 35-year Air Force career, General Lepper advised America’s senior military leaders during some of our nation’s most consequential moments. Today, he continues to shape the conversation on military leadership, constitutional service, ethics, and the rule of law through his writing, board service, and public advocacy.

This conversation is not about partisan politics—it is about leadership.

Together, we’ll explore what it means to provide honest counsel when the stakes are highest, how leaders navigate complex ethical decisions, and why character remains the foundation of trust in every profession.

What You Will Learn

✅ Why the courage to give honest counsel is one of a leader’s greatest responsibilities

✅ Leadership lessons from serving at the highest levels of the U.S. military

✅ How great leaders balance mission accomplishment, ethics, and the rule of law

✅ Civil-military leadership, constitutional service, and professional responsibility

✅ Lessons for today’s military officers, executives, cybersecurity leaders, attorneys, and public servants

✅ Why character, integrity, and lifelong service remain timeless leadership principles

Whether you wear the uniform, lead a business, serve your community, or aspire to greater leadership responsibilities, this episode will challenge you to think more deeply about leadership under pressure and the enduring values that guide great leaders.

“The true measure of leadership is not simply making difficult decisions—it is having the courage to give honest counsel when those decisions matter most.”

🚨 LIVE Special Juneteenth Episode 🚨 As we commemorate Juneteenth and reflect on America’s ongoing journey toward fulfilling its founding ideals, this special episode honors the extraordinary legacy of Black military service, leadership, resilience, and sacrifice.

From the United States Colored Troops to the Buffalo Soldiers, from the Harlem Hellfighters to the Tuskegee Airmen and Montford Point Marines, generations of Black Americans have embraced the impossible—serving a nation that did not always fully recognize their service while helping expand freedom for all Americans.

This conversation is especially dedicated to our active-duty service members, officers, veterans, military families, and all those who believe in leadership, service, and leaving a legacy.

🚨 LIVE Special Juneteenth Episode 🚨 As we commemorate Juneteenth and reflect on America’s ongoing journey toward fulfilling its founding ideals, this special episode honors the extraordinary legacy of Black military service, leadership, resilience, and sacrifice.

From the United States Colored Troops to the Buffalo Soldiers, from the Harlem Hellfighters to the Tuskegee Airmen and Montford Point Marines, generations of Black Americans have embraced the impossible—serving a nation that did not always fully recognize their service while helping expand freedom for all Americans.

This conversation is especially dedicated to our active-duty service members, officers, veterans, military families, and all those who believe in leadership, service, and leaving a legacy.

Leadership doesn’t begin with a title.

It doesn’t begin with authority.

It doesn’t begin with a corner office, a command, or a position.

According to executive coach, corporate facilitator, author, and Maxwell Leadership Certified Coach Lorna A. George, leadership begins in the mirror.

Lorna is the founder of Equipping to Thrive and author of the powerful new book:

📖 Leadership Starts in the Mirror: Leading Me First to Lead Others Better

After practicing law for more than 18 years, Lorna dedicated her career to helping leaders move beyond achievement and into significance by aligning their Values, Impact, and People through her transformational VIP Framework.

In this thought-provoking conversation, we’ll explore what it truly means to lead yourself before leading others.

What You Will Learn:

✅ Why self-leadership is the foundation of effective leadership

✅ The leadership lessons Lorna learned during her legal career and entrepreneurial journey

✅ The VIP Framework: Values, Impact, and People

✅ How leaders can move from success to significance

✅ Why many accomplished leaders feel stuck despite their achievements

✅ Insights from Lorna’s book Leadership Starts in the Mirror

✅ The powerful “Get Off the Nail” concept and how it helps leaders break free from limiting beliefs, unhealthy patterns, and leadership stagnation

✅ Why self-care is a leadership competency, not a luxury

✅ Practical strategies to lead with greater clarity, confidence, authority, and purpose

As leaders, executives, entrepreneurs, military officers, and professionals, we often focus on developing others.

But what if the greatest leadership breakthrough begins with developing ourselves?

As America prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday on July 4, 2026, this special episode explores one of the most important leadership questions of our time:

What can today's leaders learn from the courage, resilience, strategy, and perseverance of African American history?

Join me for Season 5, Episode 121 of the Leadership & Success Podcast with Coach BZ as we dive into leadership lessons drawn from some of America's greatest leaders, organizers, freedom fighters, and change agents.

📖 Based on my latest article:

"🇺🇸 America 250: Leadership Lessons From African American History" (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/america-250-leadership-lessons-from-african-american-bob-fabien-bz--hmxxc/)

As a U.S. Navy Information Warfare Commander, cybersecurity executive, and servant leader, I believe we have a responsibility to study our nation's history honestly—not only to understand where we have been, but to become better leaders for where we are going.

📅 Date: Sunday, May 31, 2026 ⏰ Time: 5:00 PM PT (San Francisco) | 8:00 PM ET (Washington, D.C.) 📍 LIVE on LinkedIn

### During this episode, you'll learn:

✅ Why Strategic Patience Yields Long-Term Victory (Martin Luther King Jr., Frederick Douglass, and the long arc of justice)

✅ How Moral Clarity Commands Action (Lessons from Selma, Bloody Sunday, and courageous leadership)

✅ Why Coalition-Building Amplifies Power (Ella Baker, Bayard Rustin, John Lewis, and collective leadership)

✅ How Economic Leverage Forces Negotiation (A. Philip Randolph and the power of organized influence)

✅ Why Grassroots Empowerment Decentralizes Risk (Developing leaders rather than followers)

✅ How Institutional Disruption Commands Attention (Fannie Lou Hamer and nonviolent direct action)

✅ Why Narrative Control Shapes Conscience (Ida B. Wells, truth-telling, data, and storytelling)

✅ Leadership lessons from: • Frederick Douglass • Ida B. Wells • Ella Baker • Bayard Rustin • Fannie Lou Hamer • Diane Nash • A. Philip Randolph • Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

✅ Biblical leadership lessons on: • Standing firm • Leading boldly • Speaking truth courageously • Serving honorably • Building excellence relentlessly • Persevering through adversity — "We Shall Overcome" and "We Are Still Here"

I’m excited to welcome Cassandra Light, founder of The Confident Shift, for a powerful conversation titled:

🔥 “The Confident Shift™: Leading Clearly Under Pressure”

Cassandra Light brings a unique perspective shaped by years in cybersecurity relationship management, high-pressure enterprise environments, and her transformational journey into coaching leaders on nervous system regulation, resilience, and leadership capacity under pressure.

This conversation will explore the hidden human side of leadership: ⚓ How pressure impacts decision-making   ⚓ Why high performers quietly burn out   ⚓ The importance of psychological safety and trust   ⚓ How leaders can build clarity under stress   ⚓ The difference between mindset and nervous system capacity   ⚓ What it really takes to lead clearly in high-stakes environments

💡 What You Will Learn…

✅ Leadership capacity under pressure   ✅ How chronic stress impacts executive judgment   ✅ Why many leaders operate in survival mode   ✅ The role of nervous system regulation in leadership   ✅ Building self-trust and confidence under pressure   ✅ Creating cultures where people feel safe enough to tell the truth   ✅ Practical strategies for sustainable leadership and resilience

Cassandra’s work resonates deeply with today’s Naval leaders, cybersecurity professionals, entrepreneurs, and executives navigating constant change, visibility, and responsibility.
