I’ve been sitting with this question lately. Does this increase your capacity to love? In today’s episode, I’m joined by global leadership expert and author Marcel Schwantes, whose new book Humane Leadership: Lead with Radical Love, Be a Kickass Boss is changing the way we think about leadership. We talk about what it really means to lead with love through patience, humility, trust, and kindness, and how that transforms not just your work, but your life.
Marcel shares his powerful story of going from burnout to breakthrough and breaks down his five pillars of “loving leadership.” We dive into why kindness isn’t about being nice, how trust grows when it’s given first, and how compassion creates high-performing teams.
If you’ve ever wondered how to lead with heart without losing your edge, this conversation will fill your cup. Let’s talk about what it means to bring radical love into the way we lead, live, and show up for others.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
