  • Building People, Not Products: César Couto Ferreira’s Journey from Entertainment to Legacy
    What happens when a media mogul trades the spotlight for purpose? César Couto Ferreira, former MTV and Vice Media executive, knows the answer. From working with global icons like Madonna and Coldplay to launching media operations in Europe and Brazil, César mastered the art of navigating fame and business. But he chose to step away from the bubble of glamour to build a legacy that’s uniquely his. Now, César is shaping the future of media through business development at olio.is and Streamhub, blending his philosophical vision with practical innovation. Key Highlights of Our Interview: MTV: From a Dream to Daily Life “Watching MTV as a kid, I thought, ‘That’s the dream.’ By 2003, I was living it. From Portugal to London, I went from fan to colleague—working with my idols and hanging out with heroes.” A Front-Row Seat to Media Transformation “From analog to digital, concerts to streaming, I’ve been at the frontline of media’s biggest shift. And yes, I saw REM’s last concert—jealous yet? Launching MTV Portugal, mentoring MTV Base Africa, bringing MTV Italy and Greece to life—it was a whirlwind of concerts, launches, and 1 billion viewers streaming the EMAs from Lisbon.” The Dark Side of the Spotlight “Being immersed in the industry, I witnessed its pitfalls. Amy Winehouse, a radiant talent, was in the wrong hands. Seeing how brilliance was overshadowed by exploitation made me question the industry’s priorities. When Amy died, it wasn’t just a loss; it was a wake-up call. I couldn’t be part of a system that profits from pain. That day, I knew—I needed to change the game.” A Quest for a Better Industry “Creativity deserves care, not exploitation. That realization sparked a mission to create spaces where artistry thrives without the shadows of industry’s darker sides.” Designing Society, One Summit at a Time “As a self-proclaimed ‘designer for society,’ I worked with governments and innovators to connect tourism and tech. The Web Summit is proof that big ideas and small countries can make magic.” _________________________ Connect with Us: Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Cesar Couto Ferreira ______________________ Chief Change Officer: Make Change Ambitiously.

  • Chief Burnout Officer Michael Levitt: How Surviving a Heart Attack Changed His Approach to Life and Tech
    Imagine losing your job, your car, your home—and on top of it all, surviving a heart attack. That was Michael Levitt’s reality more than ten years ago, caused by the silent epidemic of burnout. Now, as the Chief Burnout Officer and Founder of Breakfast Leadership Network, Michael has transformed his life’s biggest challenges into a mission to help others. With a career spanning accounting, finance, IT, healthcare, and more, he’s authored Burnout Proof and hosts a Top 200 podcast, sharing strategies for navigating stress in work and life. Key Highlights of Our Interview: Turning Pain into Purpose “Burnout gave me the business idea I never wanted but absolutely needed. Now, I help others dodge the burnout bullet. It’s fulfilling work, though I wouldn’t mind a world where burnout is just a myth.” Reboot, Don’t Overhaul “Burnout recovery doesn’t require burning your whole life down. Most people don’t need a dramatic reinvention—they just need a couple of tweaks. Think of it as upgrading your OS, not switching to a whole new system.” Secrets of the C-Suite “Burnout among executives is a taboo topic. Publicly traded CEOs can’t just say, ‘I’m burnt out,’ without sending their stock into a tailspin. My job? Help them recover in secret, like the James Bond of workplace wellness.” Sleep: The Real Magic Pill “Forget apps and quick fixes—good sleep is the ultimate burnout buster. Invest in a killer mattress, toss your phone out of the bedroom, and let your body do its thing. Pro tip: A real alarm clock beats your buzzing smartphone every time.” Food Matters (And Yes, That Includes the Red Page) “Turns out, your body might hate your favorite foods. A food intolerance test revealed my love for certain snacks wasn’t mutual. Now, I dodge the red-listed foods like a ninja and feel way better for it.” _________________________ Connect with Us: Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Michael Levitt ______________________ Chief Change Officer: Make Change Ambitiously.

  • From Paris Glamour to Senegalese Impact: Fatou Sagna Sow’s Journey Through Meaningful Career Change
    What would you do if you were a top legal counsel managing billion-dollar financial transactions and leading a global team of 50 at the world’s largest banking groups? Most would stick to the safety of such a prestigious career. But not Fatou Sagna Sow. Born and raised in Paris, Fatou left her high-flying legal career at Societe Generale and BNP Paribas to return to her roots in Senegal. With her husband and two children, she traded a life of glamour in Paris for the challenges of driving economic and technological growth in Africa. Now the founder and CEO of New Deal Consulting, and a former advisor to the Senegalese President, Fatou is transforming local opportunities by empowering young talent from Senegal, France, and beyond. Her story is one of bold faith, careful planning, and fearless execution. Key Highlights of Our Interview: Trading Parisian Comfort for Dakar’s Call “I had a great career in France, but it wasn’t enough. Senegal was calling me—a chance to challenge myself and see if I could truly make a difference in my home country.” A Legacy for the Next Generation “As a mother, I wanted my kids to know their roots. To experience Senegal fully, so they can grow up understanding the world without barriers, enriched by both cultures.” Facing Fears and Finding Support “I worried about giving up financial security and providing for my kids, but I wasn’t alone. My strong network, including ministers and my husband’s connections, made the transition less daunting.” Bananas to the Rescue “Turning banana fiber into sanitary pads? Yep, that’s happening in Senegal. The Luna Na project is about innovation and solving local challenges with global ideas. It’s a first in Senegal and Africa, and it’s changing lives.” A Vision for Change “Luna Na isn’t just a project; it’s a movement. It’s about empowering Africa’s youth with opportunities, innovation, and hope for a brighter future. Watching this transformation unfold is my proudest accomplishment.” _________________________ Connect with Us: Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Fatou Sagna Sow ______________________ Chief Change Officer: Make Change Ambitiously.

  • Yale Ventures Managing Director Josh Geballe: Bridging the Academic-Entrepreneurial Divide
    What compels someone to leave the stability and prestige of a CFO role at IBM Europe for the unknowns of a 16-person startup? For Josh Geballe, it was the thrill of challenge and the promise of making a real impact. His 30-year career reflects this relentless pursuit of meaningful work. From managing finance at IBM to leading Core Informatics as CEO, from VP at Thermo Fisher Scientific to COO of Connecticut’s COVID-19 response, Josh has consistently embraced complex problems with courage and determination. Currently, as Managing Director at Yale Ventures, he is creating pathways for entrepreneurs and innovators, all while continuing to push boundaries. Josh’s journey shows that taking risks and following your instincts can redefine not just a career but an entire industry. Key Highlights of Our Interview: Big Corporate to Small Chaos “Jumping from one of the world’s biggest companies to a 16-person startup was like going from a luxury cruise to a whitewater raft. Every day brought new challenges—chasing customers, closing funding rounds, and ensuring payroll didn’t bounce. It wasn’t for the faint-hearted, but I embraced the chaos because it was exactly the dynamic challenge I craved.” The Two Engines of Growth: Impact and Challenge “My career choices boil down to two drivers: solving meaningful problems that make a positive impact on society and embracing challenges that push me to grow personally and professionally. It’s how I’ve turned a seemingly unusual career journey into a purposeful adventure.” Gut Instinct: The Silent Strategist “For all the logic and strategy in career decisions, sometimes it comes down to a gut feeling. Big moves in my career have often hinged on an instinctual ‘yes’ or ‘no,’ and I’ve been fortunate that those instincts have steered me right—no regrets, just leaps of faith.” Bridging the Academic-Entrepreneurial Divide “Helping brilliant minds shift from academic jargon to investor-friendly pitches is a key part of the role. It’s all about connecting ideas to resources—whether that’s investors, teammates, or future opportunities. And for students? It’s about teaching them to innovate and navigate their career paths, with or without a startup dream right now.” _________________________ Connect with Us: Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Josh Geballe ______________________ Chief Change Officer: Make Change Ambitiously.
