What happens when someone gets promoted into a leadership role... and then left to figure it out on their own? In this episode, we’re talking about the all-too-common experience of becoming a manager without the training, tools, or support to succeed — and what organizations can do about it.
Host Paul Bolton, Director of Business Development at the Leadership Louisville Center, is joined by Adrian Davis, global leadership trainer and founder of Momentum University, and Don Woolridge, Sr., Director of Leadership Development at the Leadership Louisville Center. Together, they explore how to close the gap between promotion and preparation — with real-world stories, practical insights, and some much-needed truth-telling about what it takes to build confident, capable leaders.
Whether you're stepping into leadership for the first time or realizing it's time to sharpen your skills, this conversation is for you.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
