In this episode of Accelerate with David Alexander, three industry voices shaping how modern leaders win come together:

• Bennie F. Johnson, CEO, American Marketing Association
  Represents nearly 30,000 CMOs and academic leaders.
• Michael Dominguez, CEO, Associated Luxury Hotels International
  Trusted by members to generate over $400 million in annual sales.
• Pádraic Gilligan, Co-Founder, SoolNua; former Global CMO, SITE
  Teacher turned entrepreneur whose startup grew to over $30 million annually.

Across one fast moving conversation, they challenge the myths about authority, show why community beats ego and reframe recognition as a performance tool. You’ll hear the moment a title stops mattering, the habit that quietly multiplies team confidence and the simple practice that turns customers into champions.

If you’re leading a team, a chapter, or a company, this is your playbook for credibility in 2025 told by people who earn trust the hard way.

Press play, and bring a pen.
