About the INSLATT Podcast; INSLATT – It’s Not So Lonely At The Top Being at the top can be exhilarating… but also isolating. The INSLATT podcast is your antidote to lonely leadership. Hosted by Pete Rushmer – founder of Flagship Partners, TEDx Speaker, coach and high-performance advocate. This podcast brings together raw, real and inspiring conversations with leaders who’ve felt the pressure, faced the silence, and found strength in sharing the journey. Whether you’re running a business, managing a team, or just striving to be better, INSLATT explores the highs, lows and honest truths of leading from the front. With practical insights, bold stories, and a whole lot of heart, you’ll feel part of a community that gets it. Because at the top, you don’t have to be alone – not anymore. About your host Pete Rushmer; I’m Pete Rushmer – founder of Flagship Partners and now TEDx Speaker and Coach. I am someone who’s been in the thick of it: growing businesses, leading teams, and learning (sometimes the hard way) that success can feel pretty lonely at the top. That’s why I created INSLATT – a podcast for business owners, leaders and high-performers who want to thrive without burning out. Each week, I dive into real, unfiltered conversations with inspiring guests and share lessons I’ve picked up from my own journey through corporate chaos, entrepreneurial graft, and the pursuit of something greater. If you’re hungry for personal growth, bold leadership, and connection with people who just get it, then you’re in the right place. Because the truth is; it’s not so lonely at the top… when we talk about it and share our experiences.
