Mahan is an amazing facilitator of insights as he brings out the best in his guests for the benefit of his audience. His extensive experience and background in business, leadership, and learning only add depth and perspective to the discussions. Mahan's servant leadership aproach gives each guest the opportunity to share their unique perspectives and leadership journey with the audience. He is not afraid to let his guests shine and his anti-fragility comes through in the honesty and intimacy of the discussions. I was a fan before becoming a guest, but more importantly I am richer for the opportunity to be a friend. Keep up the great work Mahan!

Mahan does a masterful job in getting the best out of his guest. His takes on leadership and authenticity always serve to inform and inspire.

Just loved my experience both listening to Mahan’s podcast and being interviewed by him. His fantastic listening and questions enables new insights to emerge and we all walk away inspired. Thank you Mahan!

Mahan has that special sauce, you know the one that makes a good thing even better?! I loved his interview with Shannon Huffman Polson so much, I listened to it twice. It’s important to interview leaders who have insights to share, but you must also engage your audience with different viewpoints. Mahan is an active listener and with his ability to quickly identify the critical “nugget” in a segment-he drives home the value of each conversation and of this leadership podcast. Shannon’s conversation on her new book, “The Grit Factor “ is about a powerful women leading through adversity. Added bonus during COVID and this interview is that Mahan gave his two teenage daughters a chance to ask Shannon a question. What a great opportunity for young women and all people to engage with a role model!

Authentic leadership has been written about and bantered about for years but as Mahan suggests, it is in actions versus words! Mahan, thank you for facilitating a great and substantive conversation about leadership with David Fagiano. He has had a facinating leadership journey and has earned the right to talk on authentic leadership. A great session!

Mahan brings a passion and many lessons and stories to his interviews; he prepares well for his interviewees, makes them the stars, but the real story of this podcast is the character, wit, and experience brought to listeners by the host.

Mahan Tavakoli has a unique ability to connect with fellow leaders in a deep, transformative way. He makes people open up through an unparalleled level of transparency and humility which empowers and inspires.

Mahan wanted to congratulate you for your great work. I can see this can make changes in people and as that result positive changes in society.
