Listen "Ep #144 Leading with Purpose: Risk, Innovation & Philanthropy with Alfred Lindseth"
Episode Synopsis
What does it really take to lead through discomfort, transform industries, and leave a lasting impact on your community? In this episode, we sit down with Alfred Lindseth, Principal of CI5O Advisory Services and former Fortune 100 executive, to explore the intersection of leadership, technology, and philanthropy.
Recognized as one of Time Iconic’s Top 10 Influential Business Leaders Transforming the Future in 2024, Al now invests in companies that not only generate returns but also make the world a better place—like AI-driven startups focused on early cancer detection.
Beyond the boardroom, Al’s passion for giving back is evident. From serving on the Houston Zoo’s board to championing Real Men Wear Pink for breast cancer awareness, he believes philanthropy teaches some of the most important lessons in leadership.
In this conversation, we cover:
• Why good leaders must embrace discomfort and sometimes “ruffle feathers”
• How philanthropy shapes better business leadership
• Cybersecurity tips every executive should know
• The role of AI in transforming industries—and even saving lives
• Why connection, purpose, and community are essential for living authentically
Al also shares personal insights (including what his wife calls his “look at me” trait 😂) and reminds us that commitment means doing what you said you would, long after the feeling has passed.
If you’re curious about innovation, leadership, and creating impact beyond the bottom line, this episode is packed with inspiration and wisdom.
