Listen "Can conscious leadership scale without burning people out. Dr. Jonathan Locust ?"

Episode Synopsis








On BizBlend we get surgical about the tension between profit and principles. Dr. Jonathan Locust unpacks how a 24-day fast, health turbulence, and corporate burnout rewired his operating system. We pressure test whether consciousness belongs in boardrooms. We deconstruct ConsciRise. a vetted marketplace and community for holistic practitioners designed to protect seekers from bad actors. Expect real talk on people-first org design, retention, remote-work tradeoffs, and why safety beats speed when customers are vulnerable. If you lead teams or build products. this conversation gives you a pragmatic framework for sustainable growth, culture, and brand trust that actually compounds. 
About the guest:
Dr. Jonathan Locust  is a former higher-ed and corporate VP turned founder of ConsciRise. a free consciousness community and a rigorously vetted network of holistic practitioners. His work centers on safety, integrity, and scalable healing experiences across diverse modalities.
Key takeaways:


Conscious leadership is not fluffy. it is an operating model that boosts retention and talent density when paired with real wellness infrastructure, meditation spaces, and restorative policies


Safety outranks speed when serving people in crisis. building trust is the moat in mission-driven businesses


Burnout teaches the limits of raw hustle. disciplined recovery work can sharpen communication, self-belief, and decision hygiene at the executive level


Experiences like fasting or breathwork are personal tools. the throughline is agency, energetic balance, and alignment between inner life and external outcomes


Culture has shifted. many employees trade salary for autonomy and remote optionality. people-first design now determines hiring velocity and lifetime value


The market needs vetting. ConsciRise’s 5-step practitioner review aims to reduce exploitation and rebuild trust across modalities from hypnosis to Vedic astrology


Measure what matters. integrity, retention, and customer safety are leading indicators. revenue follows when you operationalize them


Community accelerates growth. free programming like group fasts, sound sessions, and mind-body-spirit labs create high-signal feedback loops for product and brand
