If Not Courageous Leadership, Then What? Introducing, Breaking Script.

In this opening episode of Breaking Script, host Tina Vatanka Murphy reflects on a moment that reinforced her beliefs about what real leadership requires. It came from a professor who reminded a room of CEOs that the only way to lead through uncertainty and disruption is with bold, courageous leadership. That call to action sparked the idea for this podcast: a space for real, unvarnished conversations with CEOs, authors, changemakers, and healthcare leaders who are rewriting the rules when old playbooks no longer match the moment. Listeners will hear stories of fear, failure, resilience, and the pivotal choices leaders make when they’re standing at the edge of the unknown. Tina invites us to learn alongside her as guests share the moments that shaped them and how those lessons can help the next generation lead boldly through the change still ahead.
