Jeremy Unpaulished Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/jeremy-unpaulished-1a6902ff-55fe-4e8a-a6b1-349585bcb1ff Leadership isn’t clean, it isn’t perfect, and it definitely isn’t polished. Hosted by speaker and educator Jeremy Paul, Jeremy Unpaulished is a space for honest conversations at the intersection of leadership, community, belonging, and humanity. Each episode features a sit-down with people who self-identify as leaders to unpack the moments that shaped them: the wins, the missteps, the lessons learned, and the people who made the difference along the way. Together, we talk about what leadership actually looks like in real life: navigating mistakes, owning your mess, building trust, and remembering that leadership is ultimately about people. Listeners are invited into the conversation as Jeremy and his guests wrestle with thoughtful leadership questions designed to reveal experience, growth, and the why behind how we show up. This podcast is for anyone who believes leadership isn’t about having it all figured out, it's about showing up, trying, asking questions, reflecting, and trusting yourself. It's about choosing to lead anyway. © 2025 Jeremy Paul LLC 6436ae19-c94b-5a3e-8168-8eb6c05b18b2 yes en Thu, 14 May 2026 13:02:28 -0400 Thu, 14 May 2026 13:03:25 -0400 http://jeremyunpaulished.com https://img.transistorcdn.com/WhBTyP0CbRCfRZBwggymKbUMA_d_TWgLJn_koowbrFs/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:1400/h:1400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kOGM3/ZWZiNzQ0NmZhYjA1/OTgwMDI4NzU4NjVh/MWNlMy5wbmc.jpg Jeremy Unpaulished http://jeremyunpaulished.com episodic Jeremy Paul Leadership isn’t clean, it isn’t perfect, and it definitely isn’t polished.
