Ted Santos is a business strategist, a leadership disruptor who challenges the status quo and trains and develops CEOs, executives, and entrepreneurs to create problems instead of solving them to fuel breakthrough growth. As the creator of the Disruptive Leadership Model, Ted equips leaders to master chaos, engineer transformation, and scale the impossible without breaking their businesses or themselves.
Dive into a mind-blowing conversation with Ted Santos on why true personal growth isn't about "fixing" what's broken in you, it's about creating intentional challenges that spark innovation and breakthroughs. In this episode, we explore why CEOs intentionally create problems to fuel innovation, how neuroplasticity rewires your brain, and why identity isn’t built but given. You’ll discover how to override negative thoughts, escape the ego trap, and understand why achievements often feel empty without a paradigm shift.
From childhood interpretations to high performers’ struggles, this conversation reveals how intentional challenges unlock breakthroughs. If you’ve ever felt stuck, this episode will help you shift perspective, embrace discomfort, and grow beyond old stories.
