From TV News to CEO: Play the Tape Forward

Would love to hear your thoughts!

This episode delivers a bold jolt of inspiration — like sipping a cup of fully caffeinated coffee.

I’m joined by Ryan Leckey, a former TV news colleague who has since stepped into his next chapter as the CEO of his own media company. Ryan shares his rise through television news, what it was like growing up and coming into his own skin on camera, and the courage it took to come out while in the industry.

We dive into hustle, grinding, and the quiet whispers that tell you when it’s time to pivot — and when it’s time to sign off. Ryan also shares one of the most powerful tools for navigating fear and uncertainty: “Play the tape forward.” What happens if you take the leap… and what happens if you don’t?

This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck — in their career, job, relationship, or a season of life that no longer fits. It’s a must-listen as we continue the mission to ignite the fire within and step boldly into what’s next.
