Meet your host: Michael Apollo
CEO & Founder of Mindful Institute
Welcome!
After years of working with leaders through growth, challenge, and change, I know how hard it can be to lead with clarity when everything around you is shifting.
- How do we stay grounded in constant change?
- How can we drive performance without burning out?
- How do we stay true to our values when the pressure is on?
These questions inspired Leading Minds Revealed.
I’m Michael Apollo, and for over 15 years, I’ve helped leaders from top organizations navigate complexity and build high-performing teams with clarity, resilience, and humanity. Drawing on neuroscience, performance psychology, and 10,000+ hours of mindfulness practice, I design learning experiences that create real, lasting transformation.
Whether coaching Olympic athletes, teaching at the University of Toronto, or leading executive workshops, I’ve seen that effective leadership isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about building the inner capacity to lead well.
In each episode, I sit down with executives, founders, and senior leaders to explore what leadership really looks like behind the scenes. These are honest, grounded conversations about making hard decisions, staying values-aligned, and leading in ways that are truly sustainable.
If you’re craving leadership insight that’s authentic, actionable, and rooted in real experience—welcome.
And if you're ready to bring this approach into your organization, our executive development programs turn these insights into practical, human-centered leadership training.
Let’s lead with clarity and purpose.
