Leading with Purpose: Building Cultures That Thrive, Empower, and Sustain with Bo Chilton, CEO, Impact Community Action

What makes a leader truly worth following? And what makes people want to stay—not just in a job, but in a mission, a movement, or a workplace that fuels them? In this episode, I sit down with Bo Chilton, CEO of IMPACT Community Action, to unpack the kind of leadership that isn’t about titles or authority—but about creating lasting, meaningful impact.

Bo shares his own journey of turning passion into a purpose-driven career, and we dive deep into what it takes to build workplace cultures where people don’t just clock in—they thrive. We also get into the tough but necessary conversation about leadership legacy: How do you build something that outlasts you? And how do you know when it’s time to step aside for the greater good?

Bo doesn’t hold back in this conversation. We talk about why vulnerability is a leader’s greatest asset, how CEOs can create workplaces people don’t want to leave, and what it really means to lead with heart, vision, and longevity. Whether you're leading a team, running a business, or figuring out your own calling, this episode is packed with insights that will challenge, inspire, and maybe even change the way you think about leadership.
