Introducing ‘Community Catalysts,’ a weekly podcast on leadership

By Matt Lehrman

There are many paths to leadership and many ways to lead, whether you’re in the spotlight or working behind the scenes. And that’s why I am excited, proud and grateful to be hosting “Community Catalysts,” a new weekly podcast
for and about community leaders like you.


In the inaugural episode, “Church & State,” I talk with the Reverend Audrey Hartness Reese about balancing her dual callings as a Presbyterian pastor and City Council Member in rural South Carolina.


You can listen to our conversation now on Apple, Spotify and other podcast platforms. New episodes drop every Tuesday, so be sure to subscribe to hear advice and inspiration from future guests such as Rudy Mendoza, Chief of Police in Tolleson, Arizona, and Annette Blackwell, the first African American mayor of Maple Heights, Ohio.

More than a showcase for stories, “Community Catalysts” is intended to be a durable demonstration that concepts like vision, courage, leadership, inclusivity, trust and collaboration are more than intangible values. They represent specific knowledge and skills that deserve to be shared, honed and put into practice
