What happens when leadership stops following the rules—and starts rewriting them?

In this bold and insightful episode of the Business Transformation Podcast, host Heath Gascoigne sits down with Brian Gorman — a transformation veteran with over 50 years of experience and the self-described Maverick Coach.

Together, they explore what it really means to lead transformation in today’s world. Forget top-down command and control. Brian champions a people-first, emotionally intelligent, story-driven approach rooted in neuroscience, culture, and connection.

🎧 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why emotional intelligence is now mission-critical for effective leadership

• What Maverick leaders do differently—and why they’re thriving in disruption

• How to replace outdated hierarchies with network-based organizations

• The role of storytelling and “a story from the future” in driving commitment

• Why culture lives in muscle memory (and how to change it with coaching)

• How the Hero’s Journey helps leaders and organizations navigate transformation

• The lessons from Brian’s 50-year journey through Fortune 500 transformations and personal coaching alike

🔥 Whether you're a transformation consultant, team leader, C-suite executive, or simply someone who wants to lead with courage—this is the episode for you.
